SS Ji, agreed. We can't support pak. But at the same time, we cannot rejoice over Davis incident. Last time one 'David' visited Mumbai and we know what happened. As you have rightly mentioned, existence of davis type figures in the subcontinent is a cause of worry for all countries in the region.

Nice article Philip sir. At $7 million per day, a supercarrier is quite expensive to maintain, even for USN. Have to wait and see how IN manages a three carrier group. Since, amphibious assault ships carry VTOL aircrafts (helos included), what prevents one to reserve some space in the flat top to in...

^ Agreed.These are some lessons for future missions. IMO, they skipped full scale hardware testing using a mock-up probably because the satellite is based on the proven I1-K bus (and also because of time constraints).The IRNSS and some GSATS are based on this configuration. Simultaneous operation of...

I don't understand - if the use case of the primary and secondary solenoid coil being energised together were gamed,then was the fuel flow cut off to the LAM an expected outcome and if so did ISRO not plan for this during orbit raising maneuver? IOW, why the surpise if this was planned? We will hav...

On reading this, I first thought it is a wishful thinking. But I have to appreciate their foresight. At the rate they are building phase 1, it looks like phase 2 will take 10 years to complete.

So what we are saying is BJP should become corrupt by promoting nepotism and corrupt leaders, just like INC so that it can come in power.

Even today if there is an election and Reddys (even from inside jail) + Yeddi would have won KA for BJP. I agree both have significant support-base, but I believe people of KA are not that gullible.

Honestly, how is RTO at fault here? Motorcyclists switching to cars, car-owners shifting to gas-guzzling SUVs, and SUV drivers graduating to more fancy wheels.

While certainly not a news to rejoice, it is not bad news either. LCA/Tejas must see a logical end with the IAF inducting the Mark-ii version as early as possible. Any cutting edge technology developed therein can always be used in the AMCA project later.

Have to commend the mainstream Indian media though. Neither TOI nor The Hindu has given any name to the suspect yet.
