When my father passed away , i have to go to Kurukashetra for final rites. It is there first time i heard Bharat Bhoomi referred as Jambudwipa .

Firstly v sudhir garu congrats on becoming a Ph D. Secondly folks watch John Stewart show, there is a jihad going on between Comedy Central and CNBC. Very perceptive of you, Snowgaaru.

Its not limited to mohtarmas anymore! Though not just the diet thing, it appears that americans just don't want to drink water with their food. Whenever I go out to lunch with my co-workers, many of whom are khans, they always grab a cola with their food. Very rare to see them get water. And it is ...

Wealth has to be created from something, right? For everything there is a price to pay for. And that is what I mean by transfer. But this is not just a transfer, that's the point. Wealth is created, not just transferred, in the process of taking a raw material and converting it into a finished prod...

G-20 summit may offer ‘grand IMF bargain’ to India, China. that has developed into a recession, particularly in developed countries , including Britain. Brown told a seminar on the G-20 summit last week: “If people feel that the IMF is simply the representative of the richest countries with very li...

In 2005 I traveled by train from Wuhan to Guangdong(Shenzhen). My Chinese interlocutor was curious about the state of trains in India. He was surprised when I mentioned to him that in India most trains of that distance that I was familiar with, were electric rather than the diesel that we were ridin...

If that was a criterion to stick with then it is clear that at all places within human settlements in India the vehicular traffic will need to be separated from the pedestrian one entirely. This can be done with roads on stilts onlee. :eek: The curb level roads should all be pedestrian onlee. At le...

These are the numbers they pull out of their backsides or some other place. Go back 20 years+. You will find the same 2+ percentage point difference in growth rate of India and China. It is almost as if they look at India's projection, add 2+, and go to town with it. :lol: There is one thing the Ch...

Almost twenty years ago, on a visit to Palika Bazaar in Delhi my local friend was very critical of the cleanliness. As for me, considering the heavy traffic, the cleanliness was exceptional.

Discounting cultural aspects to most of our problems would be a mistake IMHO. The cardinal rule that must be followed is : Conclusions (lane markings, road design) must fit the data (cultural traits, road usage, types of vehicles etc.). But in India, in the cities I am aware of, traffic data is bei...

Sagar

That is a fantastic idea Sagar. So, following the inclination of users, we would have: 1. Lane markings 1 feet apart, so that the user can pick up any and follow it. 2. Remove the archaic rules like keep left. Drive anywhere. As a consequence, remove all one-way streets. 3. Remove all no parking si...

Sagar

No enforcement for driving in lane. In our roads you can pretty much drive anywhere without bothering about the lane markings :D . This usually has better throughput given the heterogenous nature of traffic on Indian roads. JMT. once i asked a rick driver, in casual kannada in bangalore.. why do th...

Your assumption is that the mistaken impression about India exists because of ignorance. Hence more information can correct it. Your assumption may be wrong. Also, reality cannot be shaped.

I like the use of 'knowledgeable circles' by Raghavan - it means that all those who oppose his views are illiterates!!!?

I am quite intrigued by the above statement. Do you have any anectodal information if not actual data to support your observation? Even from your "Bihar-heard on the street" technique, have you actually heard of accounts like "the Thakurs and the Yadavs fight here often. The Yadavs usually g...

You *seem* to imply that there is some deliberate concerted strategy by some groups to increase their numbers relative to other groups. I am still not clear how this can be/is done. It is true that groups may get more political leverage if their numbers increase. It may even be true that oth...

Imtiaz,I think both Sandeep and Raghu has covered why caste and communal rivlary is one of the reasons that population planning is not working in some areas. Among the Northern states it has worked in Punjab, Haryana and HP where I believe such rivalries are much less or are gradually slowing dow...

Sagar

Imtiaz,Let me state for a fact that the rivalry between different caste and communal groups is for a definite part one of the factors for the population explosion in the Northern states. The decision is not made at the family unit level but at the level of the caste or communal leadership level. ...

Imtiaz,We have already gone over the Bengal scenario.

Kamban's reply should go down as how not to think about the 'Problems of Indian science'.
