EJ's are funded from outside India, esp from a particular country, who doesn't give a toss about breaking civic harmony in India. Infact the mentor of EJ would love it if social harmony in India were broken, since that would bring them into the picture is some way and allow them to indirectly estab...

I think what christians do not understand is that in the Hindu view, evangelism is an irreligious act. What Hindus (the educated ones, at least) pride ourselves on is the freedom of conscience that Hinduism provides. We allow every belief its own space. It is this attitude that allows so many belie...

what is the width difference between indian CVs and usa CVs (8ft) ? The standard dump trucks that you see on the US roads are 8 feet wide. The US buses seem to be of the same size too. Some of the tata buses are 2600 mm wide. The volvo and Ashol Leyland sites do not have width for their trucks or b...

It would have been *even better* if this PADES test was kept under wraps for another three years and revealed at a stage when its unveiling would have cost Pak more strategic space.

(1) Why are you interested in defense/security issues, especially those relating to India? Want to know how much is India developing technologically (2) How (or when) did you get interested in defense matters? Newspaper articles on ALH, LCA, PSLV got me interested while I was in India. (3) If you ar...
