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"

I am not able to locate this part. The 1949 treaty does not talk about India protecting Bhutan at all. Could you share the reference.

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?

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

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?

Share of water (like 7%) is relevant only to measure capacity to divert. Storage capacity is a better measure of the potential to cause havoc through flooding. If China releases five days of storage on top of peak flow, it can create havoc.
