Re: BRM / SRR Articles Thread

Any volunteers have access to Adobe InDesign? I happen to have access. Issue can be generated fairly quickly. I am interested in volunteering. Actually I had volunteered and rendered one version of BRF way back in 2002 in PDF form for printing, but the general initiative fizzled off. I am reachable...

I can't believe the level of Scriptural and Doctrinal Knowledge on BR is so low that its a shame. A teekha, salty, little bit of sour and pungent, freshly cooked meat is rajasic. The same meat becomes Tamasik after it becomes stale and tastless, and kept not in a preserved state of modern time. Meat...

Re: Agni test of 09 January 2003

Re: Time to rethink NFU

Excuse for ignorance, but What is the relationship between NFU, FU and pre-emptive nuclear attack? Pre-emptive Nuking can be first use, it can ALSO be NFU compliant. If we have PROVABLE evidence that a nuke attack is being readied for deployment, we can pre-emptively nuke Pak and still the NFU is be...

Re: Time to rethink NFU

I want some clarifications from Gurus, Will the knowledge that a missile has been readied for launch with nukes itself warrant a nuclear retaliation from India? Or should we wait for the missile to be launched, watch it fly and then see the cloud to signal our counter-launches? Now, after General Mu...

Re: India's missile defence - Arrow vs. S-300

I agree Div., One needs to get the latest and electronically superior Arrows as well as have a II tier experience/expertise-wise superior S-300 series to be sure enough! Like having both Mirages and SUs in the AF. Protection of just the four metros will be deterrent enough.. right/wrong? TSP is not ...

Re: India's Inspirational Personalities

Subramanya Bharathi stands out clearly as the 'National Poet' of India. (He is the only poet to have the honour to be called thus in post-independent India) His songs aroused patriotism of Southerners... the effect can still be felt if one lisens to those songs. He advocated equality of women, of hu...
