^^ Excellent video as usual.

Bade

Srikumar, Now we should use whatever they have built in the tri-junction area to get down to the valley below if a firing skirmish happens. To some extent it might make our job easier too. One never knows, maybe that is why India observed silently, but took action only when they started to camp perm...

Bade

If you check google maps, there are other areas too where the Chinese have built roads after crossing the valley below at the border areas and edged up to the ridge line. The fact that there are no roads from the ridge tops to the valleys on the Bhutan side is a dead giveaway. If you look at the gen...

Bade

^^^ The area is adjacent to where India has had a long presence being just south to Nathu La, and I am surprised if this was not noticed a long time ago. The roads are not built overnight for sure. Would have taken them at least a year if not more to build up on to the plateau at the tri-junction ar...

Bade

That was a great find, Iyersan. Almost reveals what India needs to do. :-) So a border re-alignment as I said is in the offing, this is what India has been saying regarding the tri-junction settlement, but couched in diplomatic language. We have not seen the end of this crisis as India needs to enci...

Bade

Just because Xi is smiling and shaking hands with Modi, does not mean he is not sharpening the knife. This handshake is the biggest feint, and we have even nationalists here falling for it.

Bade

One way to manage the border in the Sikkim area around the tri-junction is for India to ask Bhutan for a border re-alignment with India so as to be able to encircle the Chinese all the way up to the disputed region by them with Bhutan...almost close to Yadong/Yathung in the valley. This way Bhutan w...

Bade

Is there anywhere on the border where the Chinese have greater troop buildup than us ? Can they take Gangotri/Push further in from Demchok/ take tawang ? Absolutely not without losing heavily in battle. All the way from the border with Assam to Tawang has huge army presence. The buildup there needs...

Bade

When one looks on google earth 3d view, the tri-junction area in the south looks like a real plateau. The disputed area on the China-Bhutan side of the border to the north has valleys and peaks, but it seems to be referred to as the Dokalam plateau. Maybe this is what is causing the confusion ?

Bade

The only way they can reach the tri-junction area is via road that passed through Bhutanese territory on the Dokla plateau/pass. This is always shown as the disputed area even on google maps on the east side of Chumbi valley bordering Bhutan. It is quite possible Indian troops stationed on the Bhuta...

Bade

Maybe, it is time to really grab some Chinese territory as they claim we are doing. Just constrict the entrance in the north to Chumbi Valley in slow burn mode. Put real pressure there. We do have access north of the snow peaks and glaciers in Sikkim to get around to those parts and it is relatively...

Bade

The answer to managing the Chinese at our North east border with them, will be a political solution. Some new states will spring up to take care of that. Sikkim anyone ? The parallels are clear...and this has the Chinese fuming and fretting. The only solution they have to thwart India from doing thi...

Bade

To manage the Chinese threat as this thread title says, may take more than just integrity of the border status quo, it will take some pro-active effort from the Indian side to alter things to its advantage in the long run. Both Nepal and Bhutan are those cards that India will have to not shy away fr...

Bade

Badeji, Maybe you are entirely correct. Didi is to be blamed. But it is the timing. I am also quite sure on the sell-ability of the Gorkhaland leaders. If paid enough they will activate the hungama. I do remember reading a long time ago that before the 1962 conflict, there was a palpable increase i...

Bade

^^ The situation pulled me back...with other demands of life time is a bit less for usual participation.

Bade

Maybe one is reading too much into this. This has been a latent demand for long. She just played her cards wrong by invoking a bit of language chauvinism.

Bade

^^^ Then India be ready for fireworks...as they cannot get vast stretches by just posing along the boundary with a slow creep. The only way for them to get Arunachal again is by taking over the whole of Bhutan or bringing it under their influence. Nepal is also a similar project in the works for the...

Bade

Without taking large parts of the Chumbi valley itself, there is little hope of stopping this creep from their side as evident in the claims lines of google china maps. They have been relentless in their pursuit to create a corridor to the Bay of Bengal since the very beginning as far back as '62. C...

Bade

Coincidentally happened to be in the Gangtok area the week of June 16th and access to Nathu La pass was blocked almost all week for tourists. The weather was perfect till late in the week, when the showers were heavy at least on the west Sikkim side. This issue must have been brewing for some time, ...

Bade

just for the argument's sake, is there a workable route that goes through India?? bypassing all the high risk areas now identified?? Yes. The route currently taken by pilgrims going to Kailash Manasarovar China's Aksai Chin hold on to territory unlike case of Tawang, was exactly for this reason. A ...

Bade

If opportunities are provided within the 6 campuses to work in core areas, then people will stick around going forward. I do not have the numbers for MIT/CalTech to see what their percentages are as to who remain in core technology work following graduation. It could be similar to IITs/NITs.

Bade

Bade

Why does it have to strictly keep the ORR alignment ? If there are no ingress and egress areas possible for stations close to ground level, then such an alignment will not work. Going underground for 30-40km will not be economical too.

Bade

For example, interstate KL(PGT) and TN (CBE) can be fantastic metro project. This will happen in the HSR era. Right now, better connectivity by semi-high speed rail or HSR is the need of the day for TRV-Kollam-Allepey-Kochi-Trichur-Kozhikode-Kannur at least. Maybe those Talgo coaches can be put to ...

Bade

If one goes by pure economics, then perhaps the Chinese can subsidize enough to capture the US launch market. But such co-operation is denied by the US on national security grounds for more than a decade now.

Bade

I believe this is the article that people who know the numbers were referring to. I will post it in full as it is quire relevant to the points made many days earlier.

These five regional remote sensing centers (http://vssc.gov.in/VSSC_V4/index.php/isro-centres-media?id=290 ) would have the human resources to jump-start university level training and collaborative work. Another idea is to create new regional centers within a University setup, rather than as indepen...

As far as ISRO is concerned, it does not do lateral hires at all. In fact so many unemployed ISRO/Univ PhDs do post-docs in the US and never go back at all. The only shortage they have perhaps is engineers since many quit over the past decades to go to IT-Vity as it paid well even in India. So those...

I am not sure of the launch date, as very little information is available on their web-site. We are trying to see how we (our class alumni) can support it financially to get it going...I did not see it mentioned in the forthcoming launch schedule of nano-sats. Can the ground station be re-usable in ...

Bade

Not for PiSAT, but for IIT-M sat...the number thrown around are large...a few $10k...hence the query. Is a general purpose solution possible...I would nudge them to get ISRO folks involved unless they are already doing it.

This is for supporting a Univ project in India as a batch contribution. I see many smaller colleges are doing it. So was curious.
