We carried a quiz on Indian Air Force Day, prepared by Colonel Arun Sharma

RamSuresh

One possibility of how events unfolded in Nepal. 1. Before Bangladesh it became clear to India that revolution plans are afoot. 2. Indian ability to let Hasina change course was moderate. Perhaps India had enough influence with the BD army. 3. Once the revolution hit the streets, it leaned on army t...

Perhaps they are invisible because there are not many left?

Temples stand for 100s of years. Durability of stone construction is well established. Ayodhya temple also does not use concrete. That said, the use case for even 100 years for residential building is thin.

RamSuresh

Neat logical summary. Unclear why it is India + China Vs US in the US Backyard. What is the objective that India has in the US backyard?

RamSuresh

If Hasina has resisted to compromise with both US and China, then she perhaps has a better sense of Dharma than a lot of our politicians.

Thank you for sparing your time to try the quiz and for the feedback. We use a quiz plugin that also includes people who dont finish the quiz while calculating averages. We are waiting for their update which will fix this bug. The actual average for this quiz is just below 70%. Your score is very go...

May I, if it is permitted to do so, post a quiz on Upanishads. A group of us create quizzes under the banner IndiYatra. On this Guru Purnima, we created one on Upanishads, covering the Mahavakyas and Shanti Mantras. About 13000 people have already tried this quiz. https://indiyatra.in/upanishads-qui...

If it is your hypothesis that Russia emerges from this conflict better off, I am sorry to say that we will never agree. Russia did not have a choice of status quo. If they had sat quiet, they would have been worse off. So, yes, relatively, Russia will come better off than it would have been if it h...

I just realised the article is dated 2022 February.

Since then Nord 2 and Nord 1 have gone exactly the way the article anticipated. Such fools Europeans have made themselves of.

Is there any topic discussing the ongoing Russian demonstrations? Is this the right place?

BJP will bring 3% to DMK and take away 25% minority votes. Why would DMK take any offer from BJP?

RamSuresh

The allies and alliances changed, sometimes dramatically, over these years accounting for the best voteshares when alliances are strong and opposition divided and vice versa. The trajectory for ADMK/BJP alliance has not been great since 2016. And the opposite is true for the DMK/INC/left. Another m...

Here's me hanging in one in Spiti, next to an under construction bridge which made it obsolete. This looks like sometime around 2016. I did the same (thanks to construction workers who were willing to drag this thing back). The pylons were ready at that time. The first vertical block (dont know wha...

The article does not say Black Top is under chinese occupation (or) is NOT under Indian occupation. Typical bureacracy, just like they said "no IA personnel is unaccounted for"

And given how this govt is handling our economy(Even without covid) - it'll take us a decade just to reach pre covid levels. Is there any logical or quantitative basis for this, or just a rant?

Since we are discussing freshwater sources in the TAR area, I found this article very informative and gives a perspective on why China needs Tibet.

Just like that? Drive through?

Would this be natural if some readjustment had happened north of Sikkim. Baba Banaras rumoured that something was done by IA.

RamSuresh

Why do we assume that GoI will authorise grab of any territory in Tibet. Inspite of umpteen provocations by Pakistan, and a stronger balance of forces against Pakistan, we haven't grabbed any territory publicly in the west. What makes the eastern border so special that we will do exactly the reverse?
