Re: Modi 3.0 - Bharat

The BJP govt has repeatedly said not an inch was lost and have been extremely prickly when questioned by any opposition party, or media, raking up nehruvian blunders and/or calling those who question unpatriotic. This statement itself is wierd given the nature of the LAC which is perception and clai...

Re: Modi 3.0 - Bharat

The only sensible thing for Bharat to do is to allow a few terminals to understand the tech and prepare our own jamming capabilities and reverse engineer all possible elements and learn until we have our own satellite network at some point of time in future.

Re: Modi 3.0 - Bharat

Starlink is an invented need. It seems the iranians have jammed it with chinese help during the latest attempt at a revolution. Bharat doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. We must have our own stringent natsec requirements, and it's up to the vendor to prove that their tech is compliant.

No, the new UGC guidelines would have remained in force until the new body formed to replace it and others is constituted, and this new body promulgates a new set of guidelines to replace the latest ones.
