Offtopic: There seems to be a consensus among some people cutting across party lines against Namo's war on black money.

Generally, it is hard to scale down or miniaturize things. But scaling up from Tejas Mk1 to Tejas Mk2 should be easier than building Mk1. Also more weight and volume means more margins for trade offs like less weapons for more fuel or bigger or over weight engine.

It should have been a gradual process allowing time for the US and others to find alternate markets and suppliers. The US did enjoy the dollar as reserve currency all these years in exchange for what ever benevolence it showed on its allies.

That's not how insolvency and bankruptcy codes work. Everyone could take a loss; any loan can go bad, after all. When resolved by sale to a bidder or liquidation, entities get paid in an order of preference set forth in the bankruptcy code. E&Y has a nice presentation on how the new IBC works: ...

Small nitpick. Train 18 is the LHB coaches modified to EMUs. Train 20 is the aluminium body EMUs.

With GPON it is possible. Using older technologies and the typical BSNL exchange, certainly not possible without a huge capital outlay. This could be a good thing where we leapfrog/bypass several generations of older tech, like the move directly to cellular. Landlines as a concept are dead. Only BS...
