A very large amount of problems can be resolved by simply making legislation that Land is not owned by anyone (this was historically the case in India)... everyone pays 1-2% of circle rate /year as property tax. People of India owns the land and can by a democratic exercise acquire the land for any...

Indias oil import bill could half from 100 billion to 50 billion dollars. Hopefully some those funds are used to build supercharges for battery operated cars and trucks. Neither the GoI or private industry is going to waste a single Rupee on battery EVs which don't represent even 1% of vehicles in ...

The virus itself is not that dangerous for most of us. It will only effect the ones with weak imune systems and very old people. IN the west they are trying to strech the Pandemi in becase they do not have sufficient hospital capacity to deal with an extreme spike. Basically if a case goes to the lu...

^^^Some of this panic is being driven by the AHA (American Hospital Association) who are salivating at the prospect of getting more money. Hospitalization charges are a scam in the US.

Coal plants far away from pits should be shut down first

Let's be a bit wise and think about distributing risk first though. For example Chinese telling Bhutanese what to do with hydro potential.

Bhutan and Nepals hydropower plants are not required. India has sufficient hydro dams.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

In Eu there are estimates that some 300 million people will get infected. With 3.5% death rate, we are looking at 10million + deaths

For India the corresponding number is 34 million, UK will have 2 million.

Is this true ?

Some ways to look at Pak's GDP/ Stock market cap etc. There are individual Indian companies worth more than the value of all Pak listed companies (not just Reliance, but even TCS or HDFC ). Individual Indian states will soon have GDP more than Pakistan's (like Gujarat in 2 years). B'desh GDP alread...

Renewable can be combined with Indias massive hydro electric complex, by using pumped storage. If there is an excess of power, then water is pumped back up. It works a kind of a battery. New battery tech will also bring down the (24 hour supply) cost of energy in RES favour. Coal and Gas will rapidl...

There seems to be several sources claiming that the Ruskie missiles are less capable comapred to Amrams (even c-5). I was wondering how the IAF evaluates the missiles. How are the missiles tested?

Time has come to pull the plug on GST and move to a transaction tax system. That way only when a transaction is made there will be tax collected by govt. It will greatly simplify ease of business. That would be very unfair for small traders and Amazon will take over the entire market. Currently the...

[ A lot can be done by simple organization. 90% of the public travel by public transport, yet the cars take up all the place. a simple step like putting a 30K per month toll on driving in Mumbai, would get the cars out of the roads.

I don't understand our desire to prove to the world, that our strike worked. I mean who cares what the world thinks! Our objective was to use airpower. If it hit a empty shed, no one gives a toss.The sole point is: Airpower is now the first responder. It is up to Pak, if it wants to give us another...

This one is for the gurus here.

I think our real folly is the belief that FATF (or international pressure, in general) can get Pak to mend its ways. It can’t. We’ve repeatedly learnt that international pressure comes and goes based on geopolitical events, not moralities. Pak will simply lie low until the current pressure dissipat...

The budget deficit is "only" 3,5%. What if the government pushed this up to 5% by printing money and put an additional tax of 0,5% of GDP. A total of 2% of GDP would translate into some 60 Billion dollars more to spend. If this is spent on roads alone, it would be sufficient to build 300 0...

With the old Hawker Siddeley 748 and AN-32 getting old, I am sure the IAF needs to find replacements for the 160+ AC. In addition civilian demand will probably increase.

The rest of your points sound good, but too utopian. I don't know if any state govt. in India can make any of those work. I have to agree they sound radical.

Sounds like a sure-shot recipe for losing the next election. That "trust factor in the govt." doesn't exist here. Not to mention that just by paying Rs. 25K a month, you are not going to move around that city (or any Indian city) very fast, unless the driving habits of the vast majority o...
