Agree with CRS, the scenario seems ready to play out. I wonder if BJP's move to dissolve the coalition was a pre-emptive move in this regard.

Another aspect is Remittance. 60-70 billion per year. More than FDIs and permanent !

Why do you think this will be untraining?

^^Well now that you have successfully derailed the thread, I would like to read more of your views in the 1962 war thread. Could you please do that?

blaming L1 process for lack of quality in outsourcing is a cop out. tender RFP's can always be written in a way so as to ensure a minimum standard. many government organisations routinely do so. that OFB is unable to do so says more about them than about the vendors. if they are unable to create a ...

Chinese forces comes in the waves as seen in Korean and in 1962 wars and those waves don't stop coming. That was a pre-Deng Xiaoping, pre-one-child-policy China that was overwhelmingly poor and had an abundance of brainwashed cannon fodder to sacrifice for "the cause". What is the likelih...

Probably because election results in Pakistan don't really matter, especially when it comes to India policy that is firmly in the TSPA domain.

The valley has always voted for soft separatists- be it Mufti or the Abdullahs. Congress candidates in the valley have been no different from these two. Why Ajit Doval?

Sometimes it feels like a miracle that DFC project is actually progressing. vsunderji, I agree with you that laying lines is not very easy on a busy route, especially with land acquisition along populated sections. Here's a map of UP population density. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons...

vsunderji I meant expanding the existing Allahabad-Mughalsarai section from two to four lines. You are right about the two lines of the EDFC and they should take away a large chunk of the traffic overload on the A-M section. The question is, after that will the three lines be sufficient for speeding...

Kashi

It's baffling that it has taken so long to sanction a third line along the Allahabad-Mughalsarai route. This is the busiest route in the country and I am not sure a third line would be enough, a fourth line will be necessary as well.

If relationship with Bangaldesh improves, their situation will improve ! [/color] Not bloody likely. No Bakistani political party will even think of legalising them and handing over millions of potential votes to their rivals.

India jealous of Bakistani Space programme http://www.thefridaytimes.com/tft/letters-226/ Nearly all Indian media outlets – from electronic and print media to social media – are giving coverage to an apparently “unusual development in the region” in which Pakistan is set to upgrade and advance its i...

Wonderful roundup as usual vsunderji. I was not aware that the Varanasi-Janghai-Phulpur-Allahabad Line and Varanasi-Madhosingh-Allahabad lines came under different jurisdictions. A lot of Delhi bound and South bound trains from Varanasi take the Line 2, Varanasi-Madhosingh-Allahabad route. Doubling ...

Who says our over all fleet is langushing at 46 % ?

Kashi

There's a difference between serviceability for one's own systems and those of the customers.

It's immaterial how serviceable Roosi planes are, if our fleet is languishing at 46% availability.

It is not a surprise that elections are going to be rigged, but the fact that they are going to be held at all when the desired results are already known is the real surprise. Why should that be a surprise. Every autocratic regime seeks to legitimise themselves by holding such "elections"...

If it were a classified operation, wouldn't they use unmarked, inconspicuous boats? I mean who advertises oneself in covert operations?

If it was a regular op, then Tiina Jauhiaien's account may just be highly embellished.

Kashi

The FGFA was doomed with HAL (and not DRDO) being the development partner. Not aware of any 5th gen technologies that HAL is working on. OTOH, having PAK-FA in the MKI model - get the basic platform, then upgrade what is deficient - and after the MKI order is over, is a sound plan. I don't know if ...

How did Tiina Jauhiaien know that they were “Indian secret service and military, including the Indian Coast Guard.”??

As per her admission, they were clad in all black with seemingly no markings. They did not identify themselves.

If they left India on an overseas passport, the immigration inspectors would have noted the lack of Indian visa or an OCI card.

It seems more likely they used the Indian passport to leave the country and then switched to another passport for the onward journey.

As usual thanks for the updates vsunder. I wonder if they are doing anything about the Kanpur-Mughalsarai section. It it were an IPO it would be classified as heavily subscribed.

Thanks for the explanation vsunder. I think I should have made it clearer that I meant quadrupling vs Third line. As you said, the trunk lines are doubled for while, but they are running overcapacity so a third line is being added. My question was why not add a fourth line as well, so that there wil...

Kashi

As usual thank you very much vsunder for your summary and updates. I have a naive question here. What are the main reasons for opting for a third line instead of doubling on the key trunk routes? While I understand there are likely to be land acquisition issues, will the trunk lines be enough to mit...
