^ Pretty brutal details. Siddiqui, though slanted and sour on the issue of Kashmir, deserves respect for actually going to Afghanistan, and experiencing the reality of the Taliban. Unlike so many of Lutyens and left liberals, who constantly moan about the 'Hindu right' and the supposed loss of freed...

Very well put, Chetak! Dhume and Varadarajan don't seem to realise that the US has never really been thrilled with India, they would have preferred a dictatorship from day one, which would give the US unfettered access to minerals and other assets. To the extent that the relationship has not been 't...

Whether Seema Sirohi and Tanvi Madan share the same outlook or not, the fact is that Tanvi Madan does not engage with people on Twitter who disagree with her and criticise her positions. It can be said, that she rarely praises India on any strategic matter, always hedging it with some problem or oth...

only two seasons, right

Yes, I think the second season has just begun. As surprisingly congenial as the series has been, it would be interesting to see the travails of an Indian American male in high school. The dynamics would be different.

Hindu imagery possessed by NASA interns: There is an interesting Netflix series called "Never Have I ever" about the experiences and travails of an Indian American girl in high school. It seems to be quite Hindu friendly, the opening scene had the girl praying to images like the NASA inter...

That's a very good way of looking at it, Sudarshan! India can derive strength from it, and also obtain a crystal clear view of who is attacking the country and ethos. I suppose after a while, the inordinate, grossly imbalanced attention to India's issues and controversies, becomes annoying and irrit...

Are Brazil, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, South Korea, Saudi, Morocco and Ivory Coast scrutinised and critiqued to anywhere near the extent that India is? They would have their major economic, political, social, historical( including historical controversies) and environmental issues. It needn't...

Wion TV with the anchor Palki has carried two fairly hard hitting programmes covering the story of residential school deaths in Canada. Here is one of them

"who is now teaching anti-India propaganda in schools based on a movement that uses terror against Indian and even Canadian civilians." Well said, I never tire of pointing out that the biggest mass murder in recent Canadian history( Air India flight 182, in the year 1985, many years after ...

" Sure the Canadians will say "sorry, eh" and hold the door open for you but they've just as much hillbilly in them and are just as racist.. I had a little discussion on this with another ethnic( East Asian) Canadian. We both agreed that these day-to-day niceties are very good, and it...

Lest we forget- Ghazi Baba, mastermind of the Indian parliament attack. Wouldn't be surprising if some Indians remember a terror attack in the US, but not this one, or the individual who planned it. BSF sacrificed to capture the terrorist. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-times/how-a-...

^"Most Canadians are decent relatively liberal folk. This will not go down well." Essentially correct, although there is a significant enough section of the Canadian population that will use the argument "It happened a long time ago" or "every country has these things in the...

^ Exactly. The word 'phobia' denotes an irrational fear of something, like black cats or the number 13 or walking under a ladder etc. There is nothing irrational at all, about the heartfelt concern about Islamism and Islamic terrorism. Particularly with India, which has experienced horrific Islamist...

Indian companies, private and public, should also invest in, undertake projects in, train, educate, give technical consultancy, increase imports and exports, to Sri Lanka. Sri Lankans will know that India has a major stake in the island.

Airbus' Indian suppliers- excellent. I wonder if there are other also less known Indian inputs in global manufacture.

Varoon Shekhar

I know this is a false comparison, but I can't resist. After horrific crimes like the 215 children found on the grounds of a residential school, Canada didn't suffer so much as a scratch from any vengeful ,enraged aboriginals. Not a thing. India took action against murderous terrorists in the Golden...

csaurabh, would this be an example of a company that imports and assembles, and also rebrands? Or actual manufacturer. Instrumentation is their product. They've been around for decades, that much I know

"Ban WaPoS, NYT, BBC, CNN etc from India, no on..." It was encouraging to read a few months ago about the departure of the Huffington Post from India. It's time for a dramatic kick out of CNN, NY times, BBC, Washington Post et al. They have been just atrocious on this Covid pandemic in Ind...

Any American media.commentary on this issue at all, for or against the action?

The SSLV delay is so disappointing. At least the GSLV Mk2 missions will not be run of the mill, they involve launching remote sensing satellites into a geosynchronous orbit. Speaking of which, very quiet on that front, considering there is a scheduled launch of GISAT-1 on Sunday!

It was the Bengal famine( together with any other famine deaths throughout India) that has caused India's casualty figure in WW2 to be so high. Without it, India's deaths and injuries in combat, would certainly not have been higher than the US, UK, France et al. The figures are still high, and the u...

Does this count as a private sector manufacturer of industrial lasers? Or do words like 'solution provider' and 'manufacturer and supplier' indicate that they are engineers and installers( though no doubt good ones).

Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice, Ashish Gupta.

Varoon Shekhar

Apart from Churchill's role in the Bengal famine, there is also the little matter of his rant against Indians "I hate Indians, they are a beastly people with a beastly religion" Interestingly, even those woke Indians who do refer to this gratuitously racist remark, fail to acknowledge whic...

Probably stating the obvious here, but...the US in the 20 th century didn't have the handicap of a foreign occupying power retarding it's development for decades on end. The US already had a huge industrial base before WW 2. India wasn't comparable.

Nice article about the brake pads! I think as far back as the 70s, DRDO and Indian industry had made brake pads for the Mig-21, and they gave more landings than the ones that came with the aircraft. The Russians evidently liked the brake pads for the same reason, they may have even imported them fro...

What happened to the Agni-4 test that was scheduled for around this time( Dec 28th, to be precise!) Weather issues?

Varoon Shekhar

I hope any ship with an Indian crew that has even half a brain, refuses to go to China. And will cite the experience of the 41 sailors as a reason. No matter under which flag the carrier travels. Of course, if it's an Indian owned one, there shouldn't be even the slightest hesitation to refuse.
