HAs this been critiqued already please? My sincere apologies if a repeat, but was keen to get a perspective from the learned gurujan including Hakim sa'ab et al

TIA

Ah, classic case of trying to obfuscate by tarring with a broad brush ("all sorts of nonsense....") let's try to be specific here: 1. "The world is getting hotter"- Short answer- WE DON"T KNOW. The world has gotten much hotter many times in the past, and there is no clear ev...

RoyG saheb, my apologies upfront, but I do feel constrained to ask if you even absorbed what Sudarshanji shared? :D You wrote "who can afford emission reduction targets...." Pray, WHY does one need to accept any emission reduction targets please? The link of CO2 to increased atmospheric te...

Rudradev garu wrote: In a nutshell: the US views China as an empire that should be dissuaded from challenging the US' own empire, and India as a nation that should be dissuaded from becoming an empire at all. Just one small comment to add to the picture- the US long term obsession is to ensure Russi...

Re the gold deposit scheme- I have a slightly different view The government's thinking is essentially driven by a perception that gold "locks" up capital and hence is a drain on the economy, and hence people "should not "buy gold But gold DOES have value- if nothing then for at l...

Hinduism is also as close as it gets to an "open-source" faith. It changes the environment and is changed by it. It can be rebuilt, redesigned, repeatedly reconceptualized, reorganized, taken apart and put together again etc etc and still retain its intangible soul. Hakim sa'ab, Another d...

^^^ what about English + Sanskrit + third language, being implemented uniformly across India Let each school (rather than the state govt) make its own decision about the third language, in which case people in a non-native state (e.g., Keralites in Delhi can chose to send their children to a Malayal...

So hostels also will face same issue if Mr Achutanandan had sold a lemon. (what a name L O L ... cannot stop thinking about the obvious hindi reference). Maybe there is more to this story. LokeshC Sir, Achyuta is one of the names for Vishnu...........occurs in the Vishnu Sahasranam and means "...

Or a better question will be - has the competitive nature of its population derived any benefit from the 'exorbitant privilege'? A follow up question (which Adrija saar can answer too)- if US population was that competitive then why is it that they are unwilling to manufacture in-house, under cutti...

Adrija

Agree with Theo_Fidel avare..........the US dominance is simply a byproduct of the fact that it is the world's single largest market both in terms of consumption and innovation.....rest is all incidental The day some other country replaces the US on those two (related) fronts will the USD be replace...

Mods, one question- how do students or generally those who are not working (e.g., retired, stay at home) become members- they do not have anything other than free email IDs

Any suggestions/ via media please?

Congis are trying hard to get LOP, otherwise Sonia Jee will have to vacate 10 JP and move in an ordinary apartment meant for MPs. Congis are orchestrating debates in paid media about how LOP is essential for a healthy democracy, blah, blah. SoniaG lives in 10 Janpath as spouse of a previous PM, not...

Gurujan log, Shri Modi has asked for each Ministry to publish a 10 point agenda for 45 days and 100 days.......any thoughts on what these should be for the Railways? A few thoughts from my side Passenger Safety & Convenience 1. White paper & Action plan for Installation of ACD/ similar safet...

Amit ji, a few queries if I may: 1. Why the assumption of walMart== organized retail? Where did I say that predatory pricing in Thailand and Malaysia is by Wal Mart? I have lived in the region for a long time so know very well about Walmart's presence (or lack thereof) well.........its Aeon and Big ...

Adrija

^^^ Amit, why are you assuming that modernization of the retail chain is ONLY through FDI please? FDI in retail- even more so than other areas- is a VERY mixed bag.....there is ample evidence of such players engaging in predatory pricing in micro-markets and driving small business owners to bankrupt...

Current Yadava population is that group.

Err, no...............current yadav have no relation to the yadav clan of Krishna..........they merely renamed themselves in the 1920s IIRC...

Anyway's, off-topic, so unless you want to drop it, we can take it in the Distorted History thread

Adrija

Oh, recommend it highly! For a few reasons: 1. It's generally a very well written book........she had spent two odd years in the early 70s in Benares to write it 2. Very exhaustive- pretty much the only comprehensive guide to all the major temples in the city 3. At least to me, reading it was a bit ...

I found that Kasi Vishwanath temple was - First destroyed by Qutubuddin Aibek - The rebuilt temple was destroyed by Razia Sultana and a masjid built - Maharaja of Jaipur rebuilt the temple that was destroyed by Aurangazeb - Maharani Ahalyabhai Holkar built the current Kasi Vishwanath Temple. I am w...

NaMo is the biggest supporter of greater devolution of power to states. He is the last person to go for an overly centralized, dictatorial model. If he worked Chinese style, people of Gujarat would not have re-elected him. Actually, ironically enough, the Chinese economic revolution was also caused...

Vivek saar, purchased through Pothi and have read it twice already..........my congrats on an awesome read! BTW, have put repeat orders as well- to both spread the jingoism and boost sales...........promise to do the same for the next one.......keep it coming! Also, don't want to do a spoiler here f...

The story of bones is about Sage Dadhichi - he gave up his life so Indra could fashion the trishul (vajrayudha)from his spinal cord to kill Vritasura It is also reflected in the Param Vir Chakra medallion- signifying self-sacrifice for a great cause The medallion was designed by a foreigner IIRC....

Once CHina-made is dominant enough and China cancel the endorsement on US dollar, people can not buy enough industry_products with USD dollar any more and the dominance of USD will collapse overnight. Liu, I think you're going to have a loooooo.............ooooong wait I hope for your own sake you ...

Adrija

....the current paradigm changes from deficits to settlements?

Sorry, Panduranghari ji, not sure I understand?

Deficits and surplus are conjoined twins, so both must exist simultaneously (in different national accounts of course)...........what do you refer to as "settlements" please?

Adrija

2. In a mid run or long run, RMB would inevitablly replace USD as main trade currency in the world. RMB will replace USD as the main trade currency if and ONLY if 1. the Chinese consumer market becomes the largest in the world 2. China becomes the world's largest IMPORTER 3. Other nations have &quo...

The gameplan for CongI is to spark communal riots using BJP as an excuse, so that the "middle class/ economic growth/youth looking for jobs" crowd is alienated and made to vote CongI as "BJP will be too hotheaded and not focus on growth". Had NaMo even as much as mentioned what w...

RM ji, such a law already exists- the government can step in and purchase any property at the declared price. was used by V P Singh when he was FM IIRC

Adrija

We can argue about how it can be made better but to keep haranguing about privatization is silly. A subsidy based power distribution model has been an all-India failure. If you have evidence to the contrary kindly point it out. Kindly don't propagate leftist drivel and test our IQ. Oh well, I see l...

No one knows what the so-called malpractices of the power companies are YET. These are all claims and allegations. Unless CAG indicts the power companies or an independent audit establishes so you are only promoting AAP propaganda That may well be true, so we should wait till the CAG comes out with...

Adrija

I doubt how many "educated" urban voters will side with AAP and even if they do so was the case when congress was being voted to power bythe same "urban educated" voters so more than BJP it will hurt congress wherever AAP decides to stand. Agree with the analysis but not so sure...

Adrija

AAP forming the government in Delhi, and BJP declining to is the right step......now Kejriwal will have to start grappling with the daily mundane issues of governance and he, as well as his supporters, will realize what "making change happen" entails. I think BJP should, and be seen to, si...

Punjabi Brahmins (Sheila Dixit is one too) Small nitpick Munnaji- Sheila Aunty is not a Punjabi Brahmin, she is a Sikh married to a UP brahmin (Vinay Dixit, Uma Shankar Dixit's son who was in the IAS but expired quite some time back. Uma Shankar Dixit was a major Cong (I) leader and one of Indira's...

Well, this has been declared OT, so my last post on this topic It is a matter of great humiliation for many to see their govt being housed in Buildings built by British Hain? These buildings were built by Indian money, and Indian labour........India was under British rule then but that is neither he...

Delhi is not the capital of India because of British and Mughals (who by the way ruled from Agra till Shahjahan shifted to Delhi). The Brits shifted to Delhi and conducted the Darbar there also because of the old association with the" Hindu rule".... This is from the opening of the BJP's D...

Can someone with access to data figure out the BJP bastions lost by narrow margins to AAP that could be turned around in a re-election by getting rid of useless "heavy weights"? Have made a table of the constituencies where BJP came # 2 (unable to past even as a picture; BRadmins, any sol...
