Re: Indian Economy - News & Discussion Oct 12 2013
Suzlon did the right thing. They were trying to grow too fast and cutting corners. It will take them sometime to compete globally.

Re: Internal Security Watch
My estimate is Muslim population will be between 14-14.2%, Hindu population between 79.7-79.9%. Rest will be almost same. KL, WB and AS will show 2-3% growth in Muslim percentage. UP 1-2%. However, the leaked data suggests increases in UK and MH as well. The difference in growth rate is going to rem...

Re: A look back at the partition
Gurgaon is already experiencing heavy immigration mostly Hindus. It is Mewat which is in trouble. Apparently fertility is very high if not the highest in India, literacy and education extremely low and very backward.

Re: Understanding Punjab and History
Are you sure Arains are a subset of Kambohs? Many Arains apparently falsely claim to be of Arab descent. They are more likely an agricultural caste of PJ. I read somewhere there are a few Hindu Arains around Delhi region. Not sure how true.

You and I don't decide what Jammu and Ladakh wants. Jammuites and Ladakhis do. There is a long list of grievances against Kashmiris. Use google. Jammu wants separate statehood and Ladakh wants UT status. They are also against Art 370. That is why they voted BJP.
