Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

Answer RajeshA first - nope - Chaguanas. Trinidad's phone service in pre-independence years (independence was 1962) was very limited in geographic coverage. I don't think we had a telephone at the time (wasn't born then). However, in the 1970s and 1980s while geographic coverage improved, service wa...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

4 days for a phone connection ?

It took me 4 weeks to get one in a supposedly more developed Trinidad !

Anyone want to send this on behalf of every Hindu who is sick and tried of the sickulars and their chelas and their dynasty overlords ?

Re: Indian Army: News and Discussions 15 Apr 2012

thanks rohitvats. much appreciated. question though - other than the strikers, are any of the BRDM-2s with the 14.5mm HMG (and I know some had an ATGM launcher attached) still in service ? I note also that while at "know your army" shows that there are optical and night sights with the rif...

rohitvats, so the BRDM Strikers are a thing of the past ? I wonder if the BMP-2 is ideal for the role assigned it as it has only 1 ATGM launcher ?

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

This is where ground level work would have enabled challenges to these problems early on. In Trinidad it was an old tactic. It is up first of all, to the individual to check for his name and then protest as necessary - and he has a right to see the "master" list of electors. I don't know w...

Re: Statewide and National runup to 2014 General elections

As much as I loathe Sagarika Ghose (and all of her ilk), nobody has the right to physically assault her.

In addition, while everything Ram Jethmalani said was true, I found that he lost his composure far too easily.

With all the talk out there, I just hope Niran is correct in his assessments.

I also hope that all those on BRF who feel passionately about India get out and vote and encourage and aid everyone else to vote.

This muslim "anything but BJP" is to be expected. Muraliravi, combine your calculations with 5forty3 and what seat tally would you suggest ? 37 ?
