Re: Ram Temple Consecration: News and Views

I was 15 when the demolition happened. I know how what followed made me feel. It made me skip an entire phase of being liberal as a youth. So many emotions and tears and so little words to express. Ram isnt back, He was always there. We are back! Jai Shri Ram!

Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

For BJP at this time its a win-win as both Jagan and CBN will give outside support. So it has support of 100% of AP MPs for important bills, something it doesnt even enjoy from UP or Guj. So its in its interest to keep both sides guessing. For Hindus its lose-lose as neither CBN nor BJP seem to care...

Once their Referandums of newly taken regions are out of the way they will be legally ready to take new conscripts and maybe free up troops for the frontline. Any change/escalation of tactics will be seen after that IMHO

If Russia intends to landlock Ukraine then it will go ahead with the advance prior to completing the liberation of Donetsk as Luhansk is almost complete now. Once Donetsk is liberated too then Donbas is free and they are far too committed to end the SMO as this is the main stated objective. So my 2 ...
