India's foreign debt is 550 billio against reserves of a simmilar ammount. While factually correct, that's only a partial picture. What is the breakup between long term and short term debt? It's the short term debt one has to be wary of. Then there would be foreign deposits and investments - so wha...

So isn't that a good thing? Not really, holding narrative is pointless when post Wuhan, M'puram and 17 odd meetings between Modi and Xitler, we get surprised by their border offensive, F4 occupation and Galwan attack. Its not miscalculation but a misreading of Chinese mindset and intent. . Saar, if...

Since I am one of the "others", let me reply briefly. Also, this will be my last post on this topic as it is OT for this thread. In general, anyone who claim 'I don't really believe this data' needs to make an effort to find data to back their alternative position up with. As I recall, som...

Surprisingly Telangana is doing very well much better than AP/TN/KA in terms of percentage of households having tap connections! I wonder why? West Bengal and the other states in orange are very low in terms of percentage! I am not sure I really believe this data. GOI seems to be underestimating th...

^^ Having seen them operate up front, IMO they are doing more for the Hindu cause than many of us on this board. Are you suggesting they shouldn't talk to Sardesai at all?

...while the Chinese bristle at this argument , seeing it as India's way of creating some preachy equal-equal view which they reject and consider themselves vastly superior in every aspect.

The railway minister has been particularly underwhelming. I wish we had Suresh Prabhu back in the ministry - he was the one who had given full backing to the T-18, IIRC.

Don't take Nehru's words out of context. For all his faults he laid the foundation of modern India - the one you see now with 10 new missiles in 2 weeks. His daughter laid out the template of how to win a modern war. and his great grand son on how to be a class clown. Anyone could have built a few ...

The primary reason for some level of acceptance for such ads is that we haven't taught our history to our kids.

^^ Interesting - so they are changing the metro's route itself for political expediency. Sure, Andheri-Powai-Kanjurmarg will attract some traffic I suppose, but this will kill off any chances for a future extension to Borivali and Mira-Bhayandar. The Western Railway line is super congested as it is,...

Any idea if the escape tunnel has lighting, and air supply ducts? The thing is underground inside a tunnel. Access to this tunnel should also be every 150 m or something. I would think so. The Railways have a lot of guidelines on this, and I imagine the NHAI would have something similar. This detai...

^^ Now, there is actually no compulsion for the BJP to do anything for the assembly elections and simply bide their time and focus on building the party ground up in time for 2024. While slow, things are indeed changing positively as more and more people are questioning DMK's rank opportunism in opp...

BJP has no chance, and per some indications, they may be throwing in the towel for the assembly elections.
