Can we leave that speculation about the picture behind? It is likely pre-Galwan according to Gokhale. If the PLA doesn't have competent personnel in place, it soon will as the situation is becoming more serious. It is better to assume they are competent. Irrespective of when the pic was taken. I wo...

Recently, I ran into a certified Commie of the "The Hindu" variety. Heard the usual blah blah. However, was surprised that despite being a commie, is quite casteist and maintains private worship and rituals (was apologetic by saying that he still offers worship and has a puja altar at home...

Was just googling Kapil Mishra and it appears that he was with AAP until very recently and won from Karawal Nagar in 2015 and switched to BJP in 2019 and lost in the assembly election concluded recently. Could he be a manchurian candidate? Suspect his motives. He makes his move and as if on cue, rio...

Looks like this is the last card that has been dealt with. The student card and other cards has been playing for so many years with no results other than in the editorial of ‘The Hindu’ the Hiranykashipu of Mount Road :mrgreen: . The speed with which this government has moved in just ‘6 months’ has ...

I understand why mono-faiths hate hindus, but why are commies selective in their ire? From my reading of history, fascist movements of the mono-faiths persecute commies with zeal. Nothing like that amongst hindus or hindutwadis. I've not been able to find any instances on the net where hindus as a r...

As a famous dialogue from a famous Tamil comedian “it’s all common in politics”. There was tremendous anger against the DMK in 2014 and they lost all. At the height of JJ’s corruption aftermath she lost her Bagrur assembly seat in 1996. All will be forgotten and forgiven with the right strategy by 2...

Many great points above with respect to TN. The Anti-BJP/Modi propaganda via SM was tremendous and the initial goodwill that TN had for Modi seems to have evaporated with Demonitisation and GST. TN is dominated by medium and small business enterprises and apparently suffered greatly in this time. Th...

Cast my vote along with rest of the family. It was peaceful in south chennai constituency. So far in my circle, it was ADMK or Kamalahassan. Mum is a traditional DMK supporter and very religious and despite the recent Veeramani drama on Hindu gods was not enough to sway her. Each party will retain i...

The 'TN always gives decisive mandates' argument is a conclusion upon which an understanding is being built. It may be empirically common, but there are exceptions: TN Lok Sabha electoral map Two elections (1999 and 2009) saw a fractured result, defined as the other party winning at least 10 LS sea...

It is debatable if DMK is winning. TN is given to sweeps and if it ends up where DMk ends up having slightly more seats than ADMk then that’s not ‘winning’ in TN. All the mosques and churches have asked to vote for the ‘sun’. It now boils down to caste, middle class and undecided voters. The undecid...

Agasthi

Agree, I’m here in chennai to put my vote. Dinakaran is of little consequence, DMK is trying hard to prop him to cut into ADMK votes. The fear here in TN was expressed in cartoon in ‘The Hindu’ recently, where the two leaves symbol sprout a lotus and soon the lotus becomes bigger than two leaves. Th...

Check out the numerous indian made autos in Jalalabad compared to other cities in Afghanistan.

If the title of this thread actually becomes true, I would suggest something that has been tried before and apply a few things learnt from the 'Raj' days. The armed forces should move into the badlands and hold the countryside in a permanent state of war. Avoid the urban cesspools but lay siege to t...

Agasthi, that statement needs to be blasted out on Twitter. Kindly do the honours and let us know your handle, or let shiv do it... and we'll all retweet the bytes out of it... Beautifully worded.

I'm not on Twitter, please feel free to use the post or modify it as well! I just found it odd that highly educated people like geneticists don't seem much different from a Mayawati or Ramadoss of PMK. At least to me there seems to be intense focus on getting gene samples from Brahmins or SC/ST's. A...

Agasthi

I'm no expert but IMHO, any genetic study that seeks to establish indian ancestry is flawed when they seek gene samples by caste. The agenda has already been decided and all is left is to cherry pick data and force fitting the data to seek the pre-decided result. Aryan supremacy has just donned a la...

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clash_of_Civilizations "In Huntington's view, East Asian Sinic civilization is culturally asserting itself and its values relative to the West due to its rapid economic growth. Specifically, he believes that China's goals are to reassert itself as t...

Thanks guys for your comments, a range of emotions on those views! These views along with the derisive language employed by chinese media and the racist videos lends credence that these views are fairly widespread and given the top-down nature of chinese polity, these views are sure to be held at th...

Agasthi

seems outrageous, doesn't it. However, many of the mainlanders seem to have this view, don't know how prevalent this view is. A taiwanese colleague who is also a mandarin teacher translated some of these views from online and said this is what they think of you.

Agasthi

For China, India is a challenger because in terms of size, civilization and potential, there is simply no other country that can come anywhere near PRC. That makes China worried. China feels that if India joins the Quad (which it already has), then China's work to lord over India would double. Firs...

Agasthi

I for one wish China realizes that India is no enemy. India can be a threat but it is for them to convert that to an opportunity. An India that is on its team will accelerate the demise of the western powers after all we have more in common with them than the west. After a 1000 years, a non-monothei...

Think about it: 1. If Sarada was the only thing dating Indian history, then, see, all of a sudden, around five additional centuries turn up.

Maybe 1 in a thousand. Rest are all con-artists, promising things or claiming things they cannot prove or deliver on.

the likely explanation is, when Persians conquered Ionia (which in 500 BC was the centre of gravity of Greek thought.

Thanks, that means China does not have the same heft as the West.

From the moment archaeological evidence is found, Yavana = Greek is 100% supported. 1.
