No need to get upset saar - but the tendency to look inside oneself when the problem is outside is one of the sillliest things I have heard being repeated ad nauseam. It reflects in the stupid solutions I hear - where the US supplies Pakistan with arms and we ignore that using some stupid rationali...

The how, what and where of Nato supply trucks There are two routes into Afghanistan from Pakistan, one across the Khyber Pass to the Afghan border town of Torkham and on to Kabul.

Massaland seems to be in deflation in a way. Most of the food chains have low cost options on the menu. They haven't reduced the prices on the existing menu, but they added new low priced items. The quantity served is less, but the cost is also less. If you do not have a big appetite they could be a...

The question is how long before their one-trick ad pony gets threatened by the likes of Mickeysoft?

Earlier IBM was in the only one stop shop for hardware, application servers(java based) and database. It was hard to beat the combination. The software (app server. database) came cheap if you bouth the hardware (AIX/Linux machines). BEA, SUN and Oracle partnered before to compete with IBM, but I gu...

One estimate is that Congress is planning to spend 10Crs per Assembly elections and 30Crs per Parliament constituency. Another rumor was that YSR offered 1000crs to TSR. At 300 assembly seats and 45 parliament seats that comes out to Rs 4350 cr. I don't believe any party in India has that kind of m...

The compensation given by WB to the farmers is said to be Rs 10 lakh per acre whereas that given by Gujarat is market price(which as per a guess is Rs 1.25 crore per acre). The undercompensation is bound to make farmers unhappy not only in Bengal but anywhere. Latest example is Maharashtra which is...

With SEZs in other states also experiencing problems, Gujarat seems to be the only safe bet. Farmers in AP have been agitating too for more compensation. That might have weighed on Tata's mind when choosing Gujarat. I hope this will be a lesson to other states, that they will have to keep up with Gu...

It is amazing that so many Indians still think that it was the British who rid us of Mughal empire, they did not. Sikhs & Marathas had alread destroyed the Mughal empire. In 1760's or so, Marathas had occupied Delhi, later in 1780's approximately Sikhs had defeated the titular Mughal king and e...

Thanks Suraj for your answers. But the capital expenditure led growth cannot be expected to continue for a long time. Sooner or later, shouldn't consumer spending increase so that the next wave of capital investment occurs? And for that to happens, if I understand correctly, lower interest rates and...

Shouldn't they be comparing the prices of Reliance natural gas with the international price of natural gas and not that of oil? Natural gas is selling at 10-12$ in the international market. So how is 4.2 an 80% discount to 12? The author is also wrong in assuming we will be importing as much less oi...

EJ's are funded from outside India, esp from a particular country, who doesn't give a toss about breaking civic harmony in India.

I think what christians do not understand is that in the Hindu view, evangelism is an irreligious act. What Hindus (the educated ones, at least) pride ourselves on is the freedom of conscience that Hinduism provides. We allow every belief its own space. It is this attitude that allows so many belie...

what is the width difference between indian CVs and usa CVs (8ft) ? The standard dump trucks that you see on the US roads are 8 feet wide. The US buses seem to be of the same size too.

NHAI lanes are 3m wide, compared to the 3.5m-4m width of interstates in the US (with lanes sometimes being even wider). European and Australian expressways are regularly built with 3m wide lanes.
