It is fascinating how their is constant complains about not having enough defence budget, but the money automatically appears for Rafales, S400, P8I, AH64 for IA, T90 tanks or picking up the last C17.. etc. There doesn't seem to be a problem in money supply when it comes to imports..

Can it be loaded onto our P-15A/B? Barak-8 can be our LR SAM and this the shorter. Right now we are using Barak 8 for both purposes, although it's capable of, but still having a SR SAM is ideal, even Type 45 does so with its Aster missiles.

Muslims should not be excluded from the CAA. Why? Because Muslims are also persecuted in Muslim lands. So Muslims are not safe in Muslim majority lands. And the only way they can be safe is in Hindu majority India. In effect, the only place any minority can be safe, is in a Hindu majority rashtra. ...

BJP going without allies is resulting in falling short of majority by 4-5 seats in many states. BJP is not accepting demand from allies to allocate more seats to them.
