So now the 123 is the ref point and not the Hyde act. Looks like Hyde Act was a way of catharisis for the US strategic community - all the accumulated bile since 1974 was allowed to come out as part of the Act. I dont consider MMS a babu. A babu is one who has passed the Civil Services(IAS/IFS/IPS)...

Manny

I am not a lawyer but have a few questions. Walker writes that the US Admin found ways to bypass the watertight Hyde Act. What does he mean? As mentioned in the same article, Presidential prerogative and foreign-affairs power can be used to trump that Hyde Act. I think Dick Cheney's touch at the en...

Thus far, the US top brass Bush, Cheney and Rice have conceded the US-India Nuke deal in good faith. The braying NPT Ayatollahs and other nay sayers are stunned by the outcome. They will try to be nuisance for a while but the diminishing returns will bring them to their senses eventually. Indians a...

TSP has asked for safeguard n-power parks from which their electricity board will receive feed. I am not sure if its a H&D issue or they genuinely lack in other resources. perhaps what they are angling for is a US grant under which GOTUS will pay GE for the reactors, GE contractors will run the...

Nuclear fusion BY STEPHEN BLANK http://www.armedforcesjournal.com/2007/02/2131793 The most important fact of America's new strategic partnership with India is not just that it recognizes India as a nuclear power, but that it also represents open American acceptance and acknowledgement of India's am...

Hi to all the members, I've followed BR since 1999 and finally opted on posting my first reply. While the jury is out on the current nuclear deal, I cannot help but feel uncomfortable with it given the opposition posed by the SciCom. Even Kalam himself has called for a need for leaders with more in...

I was just agreeing with Valcan as about the tendency of the middle class Indians impetus for an "engineering/Doctor" profession. No dispute with that. If these "engineering/Doctor" are worried about social sciences and problems discussed here then they should fund the Indian hi...

By recruiting one historian they have changed the history writing of an entire nation and civilization.

So who paid the Indian sociologist and Indian Historians? Well.. Its not like there are no Indian sociologusts or Indian historian. Its about..why do Indian parents in general encourage their kids towards skill sets like "Engineering/doctor" rather than softskils like sociology or history...

I would like to say something about Indian Christians. For the most part.. Indian Christians are anything like the EvangalicalJihdaidists. The vast majority of Indian Christians are lot more like Hindius in their values and culture. There is hardly any difference. A souuth Indian Hindu and a South I...

Let me now make an "emotional statement" without data. How many Hindu parents on this forum say with pride that their son/daughter is (or is going to become) a "sociologist" or "Historian"? Hindus don't like to do these things because their earnings came from the "...

Hindus have been in power for nearly 60 years now, and you claim there is a "lack" of political power ? Strange, indeed! This is news to me. So let's see. In the past 60 years when in your estimation while Hindus have been in power: - Millions of Kashmiri Hindus have been driven from thei...

The reason Hindusim survived in India inspite of the islamic onslought is... the structure of hinduism. it does not rely on an organized institution and head honcho and and hierarch that goes with it. there is no mandate in hinduism to even have a formal temple. You can be a Hindu even if you never ...

Valkan, Enough water has flown down the Ganga to make this issue of horse & cart irrelevant. Why can't affirmative action be means & opportunity based? Why does it have to be "birth" based? Just to get the proper scale of things, how many children attend those gurukulams? What kin...

For starters can we do away with State control of Hindu temples and religious trusts? In mid 1950s all the states in India passed laws (Eg. Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act also called HR&CE Act) taking over control of Hindu temples and religious trusts. Most often IAS officers are...

All in All.. After India, the US/Canada probably have the most religious freedom. I am not sure if I can say that about Europe.

Individual rights are relevant here precisely because the genesis of this particular discussion pertained to Evangelization, and the right to practice and "propagate" one's religion. The contention is that this right to "propagate" one's religion is a concept that doesn't exist ...

I have been about the issue of dharma, religion and inalienable individual rights, and I believe I have been able to narrow my concerns down to a single issue. The path forward can be based on (a) "faith" that dharma will do right by the individual; (b) determination of basic (and perhaps...
