Surinder, Sw. Dayanand was very critical of Hindu practices too! Besides mocking Islam and Christianity, he also heaped a lot of abuse on Hindus. He was against idol worship and all sorts of non-vedic practices. He was against deification per se, so taling about his deification by Arya Samaj is iron...

An aside, but tigers in India were killed by tens of thousands (not just thousands) during late 19th and early 20th century. Kings used to go on organized hunts and British were often honorary guests. Jim Corbett was only a small part of the whole carnage, and he actually did a good job of killing m...

Remote-sensing satellites usually circle the Earth at a height of a few hundred kilometres. ISRO plans to put a Cartosat-type camera on a satellite that will be placed in geostationary orbit at a distance of about 36,000 km. In this orbit, the satellite matches the Earth’s rotation and therefore ...

AFAIK, it was Arun_S who first made the case for Agni's higher than stated range. He was the one who also first presented the shape of AGNI-3 much before it was launched etc. His style can be abrasive for some, but he does back up his claims with public domain sources providing evidence, either dire...
