Upfront disclaimer: this is not a defense of Indian business houses Also, a slightly long post Political leaders may not be the sole reasons for NPAs. In fact private sector banks are also not that healthy. The main reason is the inability to do proper credit appraisal and also fear of prosecution i...

I am not sure if the belief of a vegetarian diet lacking in protein is fully founded on fact at least in the India context- some of nuts (e.g. peanut, almonds) and grains (e.g., ramdana/ amaranth) are much more protein dense (gram for gram) than meat.

very informative posts all.......

back to slink mode and waiting for the Grim breapers now

I for one would continue to have faith in the Modi government........ he has performed so far... so let us have patience.. he deserves it

IMHO of course

Ideally each temple should be managed by a "(mostly local) committee of believers", respectful of the temple's traditions and histories (as contained in the relevant sthal puranas), and who also individually have a sensibility of the wider dharma and are connected nationwide as well as glo...

We could have taken PoK in 48 or 71. We didn't because we don't want more people who don't like us. Sorry, but that is simply not a correct statement and the move to electric for surface transport simply shifts the locus of demand upstream more towards electricity generation, not eliminate energy d...

Adrija

Why do we need PoK, where people don't like us anyways? or invade in to a failed state like Pak? Wow... this is a most surprising statement Nam-ji.......... we need POK for linking to the CARs and ensuring an overland and safe route for them being able to evacuate their oil & gas deposits so th...

Bhailog, BRakshaks, why are we even mentioning and hence implicitly accepting Sikh==farm bill agitators? Pls to not fall in such a trap onlee......... Sikhs are dharmics and as much a part of this land as any of us... anybody who is even remotely familiar with the history of Sikhism and also of the ...

China Faces Power Cuts Thanks to Aussie Coal Ban There are power cuts across numerous Chinese cities where local authorities can't keep the street lights on and are forcing factories to close.

"Made in China" might be all over the stores in the US but the average American can't name a single chini brand. This is the real reason Western firms -- except for telecoms and other infra industries companies -- are loathed to give up Cheen. Yes, that is correct... but to add to that- C...

I personally think that Hindu Kush is later Muslim invention to just to rub it on the Indians and glorify Islamic conquests. Koh, Kash are Persian and Dari words for mountain. Kuh is westernized form of Koh. The mountain was always known as Hind-koh or Hind-o-kash. Latter probably meaning the mount...

Never forgive. Never forget

We need to build up dozens of organizations like the Bajrang Dal, Hindu Munnani and Agniveer that exist beyond the political cycle and are mot tied to the exigencies of electoral politics. If one is suppressed two should spring up in its place. For this to happen Hindu society must respect itself, ...

Peninsular Command would (hopefully) be tasked with ensuring that we don't ever become vulnerable to an Iraq style attack from IOR So ensuring that SL, Myanmar, DG, Maldives, Seychelles, East Africa etc etc do not ever host bases of potentially hostile powers Enuf said... don't want to make it any m...

Finally was able to go through the video Not sure why we jingoes at least should continue to speculate as to why China has done this act on the border- China itself has made it clear as to the reason- it is us building our border infrastructure. My sense is that China sees this as upsetting the stat...

Adrija

Flks, please do read Jaishankar's book on The India Way and especially his learnings from the Mahabharat.......... specifically Krushna's conduct w both the Sandhi prastaav as well as Jarasandha vad.... that would be helpful in understanding GoI's actions vs China right now..

Adrija

Chetak ji, not sure if Kra canal would be the "get out of jail" card as much as the Hans hope.... both the entry and exit points are as vulnerable to Khan chokehold as the Malacca Straits ones are. Someone already has commented on this on the board in detail IIRC so will refrain from repea...

What if Taiwan may be willing to do the operative part- redirecting or at the very least encouraging their private sector investments to India rather than say Vietnam or Indonesia or Malaysia, without necessarily wanting to upset the geopolitical applecart of whole India- China equation too much?

the only reason i can think of is that it suited the govt. to have these gaps. Yes, exactly Bharathp garu.... that is exactly how the congress ecosystem worked.... keep laws onerous and ambiguous, so that all the baboo/ neta thugs could continue to engage in extortion and make life miserable for bu...

There is an Ayodhya 80km north of Bangkok too. We need an Ayodhya sister city club.

But what we did not have was sufficient knowledge to develop our warfare tech - simply because if you'll see the eurasian landmass, british isles to Chinese coast. All along that land mass - the war, threat perception and therefore exchange of knowledge (Also due to silk route) was pervasive. Crusa...

YashG ji, may I please beg to differ- firstly Diamond simply ignored India in his analysis... we meet all his conditions of geography and societal progress and yet remain an underdeveloped economy- my read is that he does not want to acknowledge the fact that India was in turmoil and under slavery f...

Panipat III was a bloody and costly and ultimately pyrrhic victory for Abdali... the Marathas took ample revenge and reclaimed their lands under MadhavaRao I ... by 1770s they had taken back control of pretty much all of North India... please do google Maratha Resurrection The Durrani empire pretty ...

Aditya_V garu, Not sure which defeat being avenged which you are referring to? Re reliance on a single leader, agree........... but even till today a single person does make difference..stability at the top is almost a sine qua non for an organization/ country/ empire enduring...... so many examples...

Not sure if I am getting this completely wrong, but I find this whole "China as super smart able to hoodwink the world" a bit exaggerated: 1. Africa: yes of course China has outbought and out-purchased everyone else......... guess what it reminds me of- Japan buying (and then massively hav...

Thanks for the thread Mukkanji If I may, there is a wider implication and also policy of the politics of economics... India is I think the ONLY major country which does not practice economic nationalism.....of course CHina but also US, Korea, Japan, RU, FR and DE are all active in this space of prom...

Wow... I don't count myself as a blind fan but we should be thanking all our gods and ancestors that we have a responsive and effective government right now, otherwise we would have literally seen dead bodies piling up on our streets........and people still criticize....

Sachin, it is correct that the Kesavananda Bharti case laid out the "basic structure which is was beyond legislative review" doctrine. However, the Lordships did not specify exactly what constitutes this "basic structure" except Fundamental Rights e.g., RIght to Habeus Corpus, ju...

MWji, not sure exactly how your response addresses mine....... agree that there has been a conscious agreement between the House of Saud and Us to denominate the Saudi oil trade in USD, which may of course be a contributing factor for global USD dominance. But I would submit that this is a supportin...

As long as energy is traded in dollars, then $ dominance will not decline as fast. Sorry, don't think it has anything to do with energy.......... $$ dominance will remain as long as US remains the largest consuming market on this planet. They make it a point to pay sellers only in $, and that is wh...

Excellent thread- my compliments to BRadmins for allowing this This is a golden opportunity for India – it has received a second chance to attract overseas manufacturing after having lost the first round to Vietnam, Bangladesh; and of course to China. It does require a concerted effort, which hopefu...

+100 to that........ it's almost as if we are ourselves wishing for doomsday. Its started to get a bit irritating

let's just continue to pray to our Gods and ancestors, and wish our best to Modiji, for winning this war- and cooperating in the lockdown!

Adrija

Yeah.............. Treason is unforgivable........... except if you win

Folks, would it be worth proposing to PMO the following: "Complete 15 day curfew to ensure lockdown of the country starting (say) 1 April. Exceptions are essential supplies (home) delivery and Healthcare services. Screening of infections surfacing in that period to be informed to Toll No XXXX i...
