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...

Agasthi

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...

Since that PAF attempt on IA, LOC has been very hot and usually we see reports of paki DGMO calling after a few days of being roasted. However I haven’t seen any so far and there are YouTube videos of fire exchange and blackouts on paki side that have been posted which are 2-3 weeks old in the secto...

Check out the numerous indian made autos in Jalalabad compared to other cities in Afghanistan. Looks like out aid was quite targeted and must have went in creating tremendous number of assets on that porous border.

This is an astounding feat not just by the Armed Forces but also by the GOI. And that too in TFTA style bombing. Namo Namah!

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...

Noticed (at least to the extent that I'm aware of) that a number of big stores in the past 2 months carry a lot of wares from India in Sydney.

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. It may even be as much as the 660 or so years that Vedveer Arya postulates. 2. Why does Vedveer Arya need his 660 years or so? It is required because of the c...

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

If Swami Nityananda had proposed this, what would have been the outcome? How do these theories with empirically evidence suffer constant challenges from other scientists if they are so factual.

Georges lemaitre is a professor of physics. Swami Nityananda is not.

Yes, Big Bang, but also many other -- human origins (single point out of Africa), mathematics, Again, Big Bang is empirically emphatic.

the likely explanation is, when Persians conquered Ionia (which in 500 BC was the centre of gravity of Greek thought. Look it up, almost all the pre 500 BC Greek scholars are Ionian), they involved Ionians in building Persepolis. Idea is, since we have evidence of Ionian Greeks coming in and out of...

Thanks, that means China does not have the same heft as the West. Then we should prod/encourage countries currently out of China's military reach to default before they put a global military machine in place.

From the moment archaeological evidence is found, Yavana = Greek is 100% supported. 1. For eg, we have Ashoka's pillars, who specifically name Yavana kings who's names are close transliterations of Greek names, which we all find in the 30-40 year period of Ashoka's reign. I hope history buffs here ...

How sure are we that 'Yavana=Greek', I was reading the MB series from Amar Chitra katha to my kid and it mentions that the Pandava princes subdued the Yavana King whom even Pandu could not subdue.
