Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Out of question. India will "leave it". 100% guaranteed. Yeah no compromise on agriculture, dairy or Pharma. We have a huge domestic market, if they want to use tariffs to kill themselves we should say GOH. Other things we can do but with reciprocity. India's position on Agri, Dairy and P...

Tragic accident. B787 AI flight bound for LGW with 242 pax. Looks like the plane declared mayday soon after take-off and was trying to land again (no smoke from the engines, landing gear was down, looks like a normal landing approach) but crashed near the airport. Sourced from TV news and some video...

Re: Operation Sindoor - Bharat Strikes Back: Jai Hind!
We didn't reveal own and enemy losses beyond a point so as to keep a tight control on the escalation ladder. Official confirmation about the extent of downed PAF assets would make them do stupid things, and we didn't want to spend further cycles once we achieved our objectives, which was to give a s...

Re: Indian Railways Thread (Dec 2015)
WAP-7HS was deemed too heavy and damaging to the tracks due to its nose-suspended traction motors. Normal WAP-7 itself has the issue, but is manageable, but the HS variant at a higher speed would make it worse. So as of now, only WAP-5 (which has fully-suspended traction motors) is cleared for speed...

Now that the Simla agreement is suspended (did they actually suspend or just threaten to do so?), legally, we can redraw the LoC to convenience.

Also, attending the swearing in ceremony is like the coronation events of old... mostly smaller (or supplicant) countries would attend to gain favour with the new king. Seen in that light, it's quite fitting that Modiji did not attend - clearly, he has better things to do.
