Re: Terrorism Worldwide

Dear rsingh, I have been here 7 years and this is the first time I have encountered such a situation. One has to remember that this was the day after the Paris shooting and during that morning some idiot had made a prank call that there was an attack at the Charleroi airport. These guys were on the ...

Re: Islamism & Islamophobia Abroad - News & Analysis (9-8-20

^^ Its does get scary for us SDREY people here, too. They do not know the difference. Last week (day after the Paris shooting) there was a terror alert at the Charleroi airport in Belgium. I was walking from my work building to another building for a meeting with a colleague. The two buildings are r...

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

Some time back Jaswant Singh had claimed that there was a mole in the cabinet during Narasimha Rao's prime ministership ( or Vajpayee). Who was that mole? Was that ever revealed? When I review MMS and his incumbency I am often reminded of that statement by Jaswant Singh. Furthermore, what perplexes ...

Re: Mangalyaan : ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission

Why is it that whenever India does something substantial in science and engineering everyone comes out of the woodwork to bash it with the broomstick of poverty? This is true for the deracinated Indians, too, who have come to believe that science and technology is the sole propriety of the West or C...

Septimus, We can even have a meet in Antwerp. Let me know. I have no idea when the Rafale will don IAF colors. At this rate we will all be in our 70s and still discussing the merits of the Rafale in the IAF. By the way there is a wonderful Airshow in Belgium, too. Its next year. Great for plane spot...

Re: Indo-UK News and Discussion - April 2013

Indian citizens wanting to emigrate should consider US as their first destination followed by Canada (may be - not sure as they consider themselves to be subjects of Her Ma...
