How less regressive wrt to income is India’s GST because of the 5 different tax brackets (0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%)? Putting household necessities in the lower slab of 5% would have made it less regressive; however, additional cess on top of 28% tax on tobacco would have made it more regressive, i ...

Separating J&K into Jammu state and Kashmir UT will be good from many angles. The insurgency problem is restricted to the Kashmir valley. The security establishment can now focus on Kashmir and let Jammu, Ladakh become normal states/UT. In any case Jammu and Kashmir are as different as Bihar an...

I think China will actually fight a war with India... For a country to be taken seriously, it needs to fight an actual war... If Xi really wants to prove that China is a military power that means business, they need to fight a war and win it... Fancy parades, polished equipment or propaganda videos...

I am a 100% Baniya and frankly speaking, some time I feel that they have not been given the credit they deserve.

Russians messed up big time this time. Why do they want to supply things to Pakis who can not pay them anything? That too at the cost of angering Bharat. I think it is a way to communicate "If you Indians stop buying our stuff, we will sell it to Pakistan" . Indians of course know, that T...

Yes 7% USD interest rates for 5 year period is pure nuts. Not even junk bonds offer these kinds of returns. So clearly a desperate need to maintain H&D, buy affection and definitely some angle of money laundering where sovereign funds will be used to pay large benami depositors. I wonder what t...

The PAF pilots must have known that the Su-30mki's will probably manage to doge the missiles, that were fired from such a range. They may have fired them with the intention to keep them MKI's away.

What can China do if a BRI country simply refuses to pay ? Unlike the US, they don't have the means to do regime change. Any country defaulting will have a domino effect with the dictator/strongman in neighboring countries also refusing to pay up. Non payment would also greatly improve the populari...

I am closely following the EV scene in India. Tatas have a plan to setup charging stations across the highways and city points. But the rate of charging is a challenge. Still heartening to see the revolution taking place in realtime. This turnover in the industry is similar to IC cars replacing the...

One of my Singaporean friends used to tell me the rule in Singapore. One cannot own a car that is older than five years. Cars were ~$50K. Every car owner had to send their 5 year old car for recycling and shell out $50K. That is $50K every five years. Part of their strategy is to make people use pu...

How hard is it to go from a 500 nanometer to 100 nanometer technology? Very simple, just order the machines. But to make the machines would take years of research. Is is almost like a Photo lab. Anyone with money can purchase the machine, but making the machine is a different ballgame all together.
