Re: Understanding the US - Again

Dr SJ just said un Munich that Indian oil purchases are determined by availablity, price and risk as per market conditions and are done by Indian oil companies, not the govt. He is telling them to duck off in a very polite way and not get into a war of words. Eurotards themselves haven't stopped buy...

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.

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.
