Without a doubt

It will hurt us too in that the remaining vendors will jack up prices, but that is a small price to pay to stop our telecom networks from being compromised by an enemy country. If only we had invested and nurtured atleast 1 co in each domain. The sheer $$ we would have saved and the leverage we wou...

The US has declared Huawei and ZTE as companies which are a threat to US national security. We should have done this already. Blocking off Huawei and ZTE from Indian telecom contracts is absolutely essential. Not sure what the govt. is waiting for. We even have a direct reason now because of the La...

Yeh lo! This tweet from Lt. Gen. Bhatia confounds matters even further. https://twitter.com/Ptr6Vb/status/1275832291432861696?s=20 Something's afoot. I am going to leave it to the forces and sarkaar to clarify. I think they know exactly what's going on and are letting it play out to their benefit. N...

Well I meant Gokhale. And it doesn't appear that he has retracted or modified anything he's said earlier

Agreed. I surmised as much as well. One can see the ledge and its shadow clearly from pics where the galwan is flowing low.

The triangular patch has Chinese structures. Its not the colour of the tents, look at which way the fortifications are oriented. They shield from fire coming from the east, i.e. Indian side. While we are talking, they are building. I don't know what IA & GoI are thinking. Actually the indian po...

Lt. Gen. Hasnain has clarified that he wasn’t referring to the pink tents in the left photo but the round ones in the left half of the right photo. Back to square one.

^^^ yeah but that isn’t sufficient data to conclude that pink arctic tents cannot be ours. I am beginning to realize that sat images are tricky and apart from a trained eye one also needs background info.

Rahul ShivShankar on TimesNow has a very good explanation of all the new pink structures on the Chinese side. Most are hospital tents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PBvL1zssiA Lt. Gen. Syed Ata Hasnain clearly states that IA uses pink colored medium arctic tents. Nathan Ruser’s image classificat...

Well FWIW I am going to go with Gokhale's position that those pink structures are ours. Simply because he said those structures were built by us very rapidly after the 15th. And at that time the Galwan was just bed - no water. Also it is unclear from the sat photo what the course of the galwan is fu...

It is not ours. How did we transport all that structure across the water without any truck path visible? That armor pod would require a truck and crane to take it and place it there, across the water? The Chinis have build a road/access path and the bunker is been placed right at the corner to have...

Just watched Nitin Gokhale's update: He says the pink structures seen in today's satellite photos are sangars built by us. They are *not* chinese.

I see a cambridge analytica (or clone) type of deliberately designed plot that is playing out. Hollande it seems was upset with his partner being dragged into this entire mess by suggestions that the ambani company made a movie with her in the lead as a thank you gesture for the offset deal. IMO Ho...

A casual perusal of this Julien Bouissou's twitter feed seems to indicate that this is a hit job. Our bouissou has re-tweeted Audrey Truschke (of the Aurangzeb_was_a_secular_ruler fame) and a few more unsavoury types.

A few days back I asked a question on this forum: "Can the RBI erase the liability equivalent of the unsurfaced BM and transfer that as dividend to the govt?" A banking tech friend of mine said: "Nonsense - can't be done" A couple armchair "finance whizzes" on this foru...

No, YOU haven't understood the question here. You're talking ridiculously small sums. Who cares about small sums ? There's 14 lakh crore of cash involved in the demonetization business. You're arguing about the status of a few thousands in the hands of a guy who was in coma ? Unless half the popula...

Why don't you just let 'this guy' speak for himself by joining here ? What you're saying makes no sense at all. You're claiming that RBI generates unlimited liability upon itself, i.e. every last currency note ever printed remains a liability on its books. Sorry, that's not how it works. Your frien...

Sure liabilities can't be written off. So what liability exists on cash that was never deposited again, exactly ? According to this guy - a genuine currency note with an undertaking from any current/past governors of the RBI is a liability even if it never comes back to the RBI. This, according to ...

So yesterday I talked to a friend who is apparently knowledgeable about banking laws and practices. He says that the claim - that RBI will be able to write off about 3L Cr of BM that doesn't surface by March 31 and transfer that as dividend to the govt - is plain rubbish. His argument is that any ca...

Atmavik ji, you have raised a tough question - for which I have no easy answers. 100s of billions will be spent on electronics imports - there is no doubt about that. How we play catch up is the question. People usually indicate physical infrastructure as being the key to this ecosystem. And no doub...

Sorry - I wasn't being clear in my message. Let me elucidate. I am not at all arguing against the benefits of setting up CM in India - though I think your comparison with the auto industry isn't really correct. What I meant to say was that assembly line entities who trade kits in from shenzhen and t...

I have worked in the chip industry and I understand a bit about ODMs (Original Device Manufacturing) and CMs (contract manufacturing). So I would like to put forward my 2 paise here: Successfully building a high volume, consumer product like a phone is heavily dependent on the richness of the compon...

Everyone in this thread is spot on.. Piggistan is stalling for time and trying to get international pressure put on us by pretending that the civvies are in charge. The only language they understand comes from the business end of a carl gustaf - We should be ever prepared to speak that language. And...

Manish ji - The person I was referring to was Raghu Raman (as against Raghuram Rajan the ex-governor of the RBI). Raghu Raman is an ex-captain of the IA and the former CEO of NatGrid. I am indeed aware of the fact that RR's contract at NatGrid was not renewed by the Modi govt. And as Rahul ji points...

In the light of these riveting accounts of the battle of longewala and the courage of our forces, I just wanted to put down some of my thoughts and emotions regarding the recent Uri attack and the various responses I have been witnessing. I am not trying to rebut anyone's arguments. This is just my ...
