To all the gurus in the forum, I have a noob query related to GST. Why can't the GST directly be paid to the states? Why it has to go to the center and then it goes to the state. If I am a business in Rajasthan, and I pay my SGST, why can't it directly go to the state government? Can't the software...

Food exports don't come for free. A huge amount of water is used in the cultivation of food, and as a water scarce nation we need to be very careful about what we export and what we don't. 1. We should absolutely stay away from exporting commodity items like sugar which can be grown just about anyw...

Blacklisting is used in India as an escape route to make sure the dalals as well as officials involved in corruption get off scott free and at the same time the MoD/GoI can say "Hey look! We blacklisted them. Our dhotis are clean and lily white onlee." No one ever got punished for the Bof...

This is a real scandal, but sadly the media seems to be preoccupied with Rafael (which also came very late).

So Pakistan has more AWACS than us (regardless of the sophistication, it gives options when one or two gets taken down or goes under maintenance).

The entire point of the article was to discuss the archaic methods of granting permission to develop industry on own land. The sheer number of permissions and bribes needed.

Singapore is a city state. Firstly please check the road infrastructure in Singapore and compare it to Mumbai. They are light years ahead.

I am a strong believer in improving infrastructure like roads and railways. But more roads must be seen as a part of a larger solution. Take the Mumbai costal road that is comming up.

What nonsense. Building decent motorable roads in the mountains is an urgent necessity for commerce, tourism and the military, not to mention for day-to-day activities of the citizens. Ask the people living in those areas what they would like. As of now it is hard to develop areas with taking care ...

Every year the PLA replaces about 450,000 personnel who have completed their two year conscription term with the army. That means 20% of the army is turned over every year.

<snip> You're rationalizing the use of "$h!t-to-food" pozni scheme". It betrayed your intentions about thinking rationally. The use of biorefining and biofuels causes the consumption of clean water and arable land more so than current methods to extract oil and gas. It's not a good w...

Chinese motivation for border activity. It is not only affecting India but almost all countries, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, Philippins, Vietnam and even Bhutan.

Enter the Great Yellow hope of the Pakis. PRC and PLA.

Their main goal is to re-draw the the boundary to their liking and present it as a done deal. The rest of things count but boundary alignment is primary driver.

Nice of you to switch goal posts from taxes to innovation. You constantly post nonsense ideas without any basis in reality.

Anyone have a good explanation for China's desire to change the status quo? Why on earth did they start this. Their official claim is the road and base next to Aksai Chin. Is this the entire story. Is this some kind of message to show power and scare India from trying to reclaim Aksai Chin?

That most likely came from a westerner - probably a white American male. Such views are problematic for the fact that they are not first order impressions but second order ones.
