RSS helping the movement? Sounds like a hijacking from within to me. Didn't the RSS act all liberal and welcome the verdict?

arshyam

^^ That's actually a good idea. Tirupati will also ensure a steady stream of traffic.

arshyam

^^ No disagreements there.

Rakesh wrote:Shyam, what is this engine start issue?

Just a metaphor saar, for spare parts being withheld, grounded fleet, etc. Just like the Seakings a couple of decades ago. Steps to make part of our fleet inoperable.

It shows they are not serious either. They know that we'd never buy the F-16, but if they pushed the F-18 via this threat, even that potential sale will go away, as we will not buy anything under a threat. P.S. The "engine start" issue is good enough to not buy the F-18 either. Tejas with ...

]Horrifying that the central leadership of BJP with such a huge mandate across the majority of states in India being so spineless in front of the lone commie ruled govt. While I share your sentiment, L&O is a state subject, the centre has no role to play as of now. The best they can do is to as...

BLR metro not going UG was not the result of a feasibility study, soil test, etc., was it? AFAICT, the GoK has been very reluctant to build a metro on this route for various reasons, but cost of UG has not been one of them. Sure, UG is costly, but if any place needed a UG metro, that was ORR, given ...

Awesome. Next step when we do something not to khan's liking: "do this, or else those khatara F-16s we gave you last year won't start". So on and so forth.

And many amrikis wonder why almost no one around the world likes them

P.S. Is there a middle finger icon?

The hsr terminal could potentially be made in whitefield with direct connectivity to the ongoing metro line going to mg road and the planned orr metro There is no room to lay hsr line through city to majestic Another option is near hebbal where a railway line hardly used goes parallel to the bial e...

Regional channels are more sensible: they have a male reporter on the ground and are reporting with some sensitivity. Unlike a few shouters like Ornob. Current caption on Thanthi TV: "irumudi kattamal senrukkondirukkirar Kavitha" (translation: a lady called Kavitha is heading (towards the ...

I'd request the Mongol to stay away from this thread for some time. Mongolia is anyway not impacted by this, and post after long unreadable post telling us unwashed natives to start washing ourselves or else, only inflame our feelings and do not contribute anything to this thread. If I didn't know b...

Watching visuals on a Tamil news channel of some woman being escorted towards Sabarimala. Full riot gear, not a shred of appearing to go as a devotee. Heck, not even a bindi. Some devotion this, and some fundamental right we are supposed to respect. Ack thoo only.

Absolutely. That example was in poor taste.

It is like saying, hey I have to breathe/think/my heart has to beat/blood has to flow every second I have to be alive, how long will I have to do it?

Time to close the temple. What is a temple without the sanctity and devotees' devotion in it? Only a building with some sculptures. A big part of me agrees with that, but that's what EJs would want, wouldn't they? What will rejoice them most, A few women entering or temple closing down? True that, ...

^^ Excellent news! Slowly but surely, we are inching toward the 3rd stage.

I second Cybaru. This topic, while interesting in itself, seems more suited to the "understanding US" thread. Too many times has this thread derailed and mods seem okay with it for whatever reasons.

I don't know the full text of the Petition, and how much it got distorted in reporting, but at first reading it sounds like a jumbled mess of insinuations with no facts. True. The petition which was filed at Kerala HC, was filed by a person who had no locus standi (i.e non-Muslim), and he had no su...

There has been a cyclone in the bay all of last week. There is a new weather system developing as we speak, and going by my driving experience over 300km today, it's pretty intense. So, ISRO did the right thing weather-wise.

UB saar, can't disagree with most of your points, but consider this one aspect: The SC was merely deciding what was the correct interpretation of the Constitution. All said and done, it is a public place that receives public funds, and is probably situated on public land. They cannot say that people...

I can also confirm the tradition on women not going to sabarimala is older than the nineties. In the late eighties, my relatives did the trek, full 41 days, etc, and that's when I became familiar with these restrictions. No women from TN will also go to the temple now, ban or no ban. In fact, the on...

Or try to create a rift within the govt. Or project that the govt was for delay, but Modi used his personal popularity to override everything else (this point to assuage the amrikis). It can be spun in many such ways. Ultimately, who knows the truth? P.S. I personally don't believe this report of Do...

Please bring on the sanctions, I say, puh-leez. In one stroke, comcasa will be dead in the water and we can proceed to do just what we want. Maybe some sense will dawn upon GoI to make the Kaveri a well funded national programme to build aero + marine propulsion capability. Not to mention severely u...

China can take this so-called 2+1 mechanism and shove it. Just because we showed them who's the boss, they are trying to play nice by couching some patronizing shite in some very polite sounding words. Nothing stops the incoming govt from defaulting on their Chinese loans, and the Chinese know it, s...

Yes, Mudra and farming loans are risky but with wide distribution it is somewhat mitigated. Compare an industrialist getting Rs 10000 crore and his company tanking to the same loan being given to 50000 people of which 2000 are tanking. Then it is less risky. I believe the repayment on Mudra is good...

Politics. Elections are far away. If they give up the $$ they make on the taxes now and oil prices continue to remain high, inflation will go up and govt will be out of buffer room to cut before elections.

^^ True that. Pathetic roads when driving into the city, given the sheer volume of industrial traffic. Good thing is that Gadkari and Pon R have worked with GoTN to revive the stalled Port elevated expressway, and have extended it to Sriperumbudur. It's going to be a 40-km long 6-lane elevated road ...
