Calvin - you have stated someting on a subject that is difficult IMHO to give a "black and white" - govt vs private opinion on.I would guess that both GOI and pvt enterprise are needed. Let me quote the example of Bangalore. Rich businessmen, industrialists and doctors have access to clubs in ...

I think there is a big difference between just "sports" and modern day competetive sport.Sports for sports sake defines the Indian involvement in sport, but to shine and win one needs a formal system in which:1)It is relatively easy for a young enthusiast to play the sport of his choice2)Co...

Kevin - I see this as an Indian psychological problem - though I have read that some Chinese have some similar hang-ups on some Chinese websites.China is doing things that it wants to and needs to do. India is doing the things that it wants to and needs to do. It irritates me to be told constantl...

I agree with Neshant. In fact I would go further and say that many independant(sic) sources have confirmed to me personally that in fact no nukes were tested at all. It's all a big bluff. Why worry? Why constantly excoriate this topic in the hope that time will rewind itself and someone will actu...

I'll tell you where I would give an arm to watch India catch up with China - even halfway.Sport. China has a lot of hidden rubbish IMO, but you can't dispute the glint of gold medals.

Only one comment for now - and that would put this discussion outside this forum if I continue.Let me put it this way Matthew. Can you check the wetaher outside your window and tell me what the weather is like outside mine? Talking of population is a bit like that - and if you lie about your weat...

Project "Vetrivel". An interesting name - because it is straight from Tamil. I hadn't heard the word until I learned some Tamil. Don't know if it is just a name - "Vetri" means victory I think.

Doyle Baretto - I wouldn't read too much into that picture. The picture itself looks totally different from the "mock up" they had at Aero India 1998 (phot on B-R)I think they have a "concept", and not a design - and they have patented the concept as a pre-emptive measure. I really need to dig in...

I can imagine why an air launched brahmos may be smaller and lighter than the one that was tested. No need for a launch rocket. No need for all those rocket motors to change from vertical to horizontal. No need for a protective nose cap to be blown off the air intake.

Mohan Raju - the quote is in the first post of this thread - although it is qualified by the words "I have read sometimes that" - Israeli snipers suck. Good to have a disclaimer while making any generalization - eg "I have heard that US snipers suck""What?""Yes, I believe they suck Polo min...

What are the requirements for a good sniper rifle? My guesses:1)I would guess that one needs to use materials that do not warp/bend change shape just that wee bit due to temperature changes from use.2)The instrument needs to be finely balanced so that even the movement of a bullet within the b...

Super video grabs of the launch on NDTV. The sequence seems to be:1)Vertical launch 2)Rocket fires to tilt the missile to one side 3)Secondary rockets fire to stop/steady the tilt/rotation probably to prevent somersaulting of the missile. 4)Nose cone blasts off. Something else also blast...

What China probably means is pretty much what Tim Hoyt suggested in his post - i.e the sort of capability the US may acquire with its proposed NMD.However, from the Indian viewpoint, getting reassurancs from the US that its NMD technology will not be used against us in any way is an essential but...

OK folks - why not help Abhijit check out these sites so that we can identify Paki sites looking for popularity as Indian sites - like Puki run "Indian" restaurants in various parts of the world.

Arre Wah!What an effort - an eminently archivable work.
