Re: Chandrayan-2 Mission
NASA/Shanmuga image shows an impact site and a debris field. So Vikram lander had a hard landing and disintegrated upon impact!

Re: 2019 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
See for yourself the recently concluded by-election results in West Bengal. TMC won all three. BJP's state president Dilip Ghosh could not even hold on to his own seat Kharagpur which he vacated on becoming a MP. Even Congress lost its Kaliaganj seat which was its stronghold since 1960s barring thre...

Something is fishy here. Fadnavis is a Konkan Brahmin (a minuscule minority in Maharashtra politics) and the fact that he has hung on to his chair so long is an achievement. There are strong Maratha lobbies cutting across party lines. Even within BJP there are sharp divisions. Maybe a ploy to finish...
