Congratulations. May your venture grow from strength to strength.

The breakup of Yougoslavia brought about by USA sowed the seeds of latterday disintegration of the EU, which let me say, is still a work in progress that we are seeing today.

The Sterlite plant needs a local strongman to handle the activists led opposition in Tuticorin. He, in all probability would be financially (indirectly of course) and politically supported by the present ruling dispensation in TN. It is advantage VV Minerals- owned by a powerful local entrepreneur.

My question is specific to India. I know Omicron breaks through even among people who have had two doses. I was a victim myself. But what about the new sub variants? The numbers in India are still small although they are a lot higher than they were, a month ago. Any insights? BA5 subvariant is spre...

ks_sachin But from your earlier post I did get the impression that in your view, by implication at least, Gen Rawat was acceptable as CDS because he was regarded as a 'Yes Man' by the current ruling establishment. Either that or the philosophy for the selection (CDS) this time around, has changed. W...

In a tangential note, isn't that being unfair to Gen Rawat? More so when he is no longer alive?

You will never find actual information about exactly what happened. A cursory reading of the topic suggests that this is an attempt to seek exactly the kind of response that you are attempting to draft. These people will use your response as an evidence in support of their contention. I would advis...

Pakistan's road to economic destruction is 70 yrs in the making and entirely their own, the FICN only helps ISI's agenda inside India by running up Indian inflation, causing transactional backlog, making people suspect their own currency etc. but there's no connection to Pakistan's own economic wel...

My understanding is that the original dispute on which the Gujarat High Court was asked to rule was this: Is an importer buying goods on a CIF basis and who is also paying customs duty on the freight element of the goods also liable to pay GST on the freight service cost on behalf of the shipping co...

Given that is now the month of May, for the next few month are Ice breakers required? Can the oil be loaded in conventional tankers till say September? Bulk of the oil from Russia is exported from its ports on the Baltic sea. These don't require ice breaking ship escorts. Ships will traverse the No...

chetak I quote from your last post: "they guy that the protestors actually want is the goat". I suppose you mean the current President Gotabaye Rajapaksa. But he became President only in 2019. The roots of the problems that Sri Lanka is currently facing owe their origins to decisions that ...

Not quite. Even the name of the TN CM is misspelt. The Tamilnadu CM is known as M.K. Stalin. But the letter addresses him as M. Stalin. That is a serious error of etiquette in official communication.

RBI raised repo rates by 40 points catching Nirmalaji and MoF by surprise Frankly, this decision doesn't make any sense. Ostensibly, this is supposed to be a response to the rising trend of inflation. The theory goes that it is supposed to raise the cost of funds in the banking system thus forcing ...

A post by former GM of ICF. http://anindecisiveindian.blogspot.com/ He says there is no reason why cast wheels should not be preferred for passenger coach wheel sets as opposed to forged wheel sets. Of course he doesn't quite explicitly assert that but confines himself to merely criticising that the...

Grain stocks are ultimately perishables. Better export surplus stocks instead of letting it rot and feeding rodents in FCI godowns, and earn some forex to compensate for agri subsidies; after India's needs are well secured. Fertiliser for food deals make sense. Malnutrition is a different problem, ...

I think the Government wants Gen Naravne to hold the post for 3 years and also till he attains 65 years of age. If he joins early he would continue for 3 years but not till 65 years as the terms of appointment clearly mentioned that CDS will hold office till such time one of the two conditions get t...

The GST compensaton is only for 5 years, that is till July 22. That's true.

right; Thats what I was trying to understand, what taxes do non-india HQd IT companies pay in India? Do they pay any?
