[Looks like the author has correctly made the conclusion that Godhra was a plan to releive pressure on TSP during the strike window. Indian influence and justification of war was being heard in ME. And I remember getting a lot of flak on the board when I suggested that Godhra was not only a tactica...

YIP, you forgot "rice-eating".

why on earth are they operating from Hindon AFB ? they'd shifted the last fighter squadron from there due to the nuisance of birds. a narrow escape when there was an airshow going on, then imagine how dangerous that place is for basing fighter jets. http://www.teamindia.net/index.php?action=fullnew...

Purely from a strategic point of view, there is absolutely no reason for India to encourage a Nuclear Iran. The geo-political situation in the Middle-East is unstable and there is no guarantee that a WMD will not fall in a not so sane hand. The current Indian policy of constructive engagement within...

Wow, what makes you think so? A bunch of Mullahs with brains and vision? I don't think so. I am curious about how you came up with such an opinion about Iran. It is one of the few functioning democracy in the Muslim world. It may not be perfect but it is there. From a scientific and technichal poin...

George: What I am suggesting is a revamping of the 'no-name' agency. This is an area which, if properly executed, will benefit folks all over the world. We need proper guidelines about the conduct of trials, which are up to date with the times. We need laws which allow the parent company which is de...

I have a small request for folks on BR. I was driving past the Xerox PARC the other day when a thought hit me. All of us are guilty of sullying the good name of Xerox corporation by calling AQKhan "Xerox Khan". I suggest we find a different moniker for Mr. Khan which does not insult Xerox ...

Cross posted from the infrastructure thread. The Health Travellers "A $40-billion-plus market growing at over 20% a year throws up huge opportunities for anyone smart enough to tap into it." If properly harnessed the medical tourism market could be an even bigger bonanza than the IT sector...

In a country where a small minority pay any income taxes it will be almost impossible to fund a National Health Scheme. The quality of primary care provided in the rural parts of the country can be significantly improved, by making sure that the current funding is utilized properly. Another big area...

Originally posted by George J: You are quite right that those with insurence are billed exhorbitantly in India but that will change when there is more uptake of insurence. Once insurance really catches on then things will change coz the main source of revenue for all these hospitals will be insuren...

India as a Health Care Provider to the West The cost of hospitalization for procedures is easily an order of magnitude (10x) less than the costs in the US. Many NRIs aware of this are already taking advantage leading to growth in "Medical Tourism". However, this sector is unorganized. This...

I did not see a thread covering Health Care in India so this one. I recently visited India (Delhi) after a gap of about 18 months. Here are a few observations: Health Insurance is taking off. Many private companies offer them as a benefit. Self Employed individuals are also purchasing it. Typical an...

Originally posted by rupak: VikramS From what I understand, the Jaguar crash into the crash barrier resulted from a mechnical fault with that particular Jag. IIRC, the airbrakes became deployed in error and without the pilots knowledge, making the aircraft stall at a curial juncture. The aircraft c...

The Mig21 in the mid-air with the Heron, the Jaguar crash at Ambala where the plane tangled with the runway barrier during the take-off run, all point to the need for upgradation in the processes followed at IAF bases. In the case of the mid-air collision the Mig pilot and the UAV operator both seem...

Originally posted by Jagan: - There was a technical emergency (Trim override) which converted a normal sortie into a disaster. Can some of the more informed folks tell me what this Trim Override is? Does it mean nose up too soon or at a steeper angle? Is it a result of pilot action or is it a mecha...

I am curious about the nature of BVR tactics employed by the IAF and how they were amended during the excercise. A few observations: 1. It seems on the first day, IAF M2Ks were getting plastered by French M2K via BVR kills. 2. The Indians mentioned that the French had better radars which gave them a...

Regarding electronics: They are typically two main components in such a system, the data gatherer and the data processor. The data gathering technology is a mixture of analog and digital stuff; probably a lot more difficult to master since it requires expertise in a variety of areas (materials, manu...
