If the standard speed would be increased to 150 km per hour, then a 600 km jo...

Is having ICMB am advantage or liability to India? suddenly India will have the capability to hit Europe, Japan and Australia (but not US with only 12 000 km range). The question is if we could make our selves to become a needless threat? No matter how good the current relations are, the EU/Russia/J...

PHD's are good for people whom wan't to persue the teaching line (a prestigious issue). Also some people take PHD becase they like reaserch. In all actuality it is a good way to sponsor reaserch in a cheap way. You can pey less, as the person is persuing a degree. The qustion is more like, how and i...

let's take this to the investment thread ... btw, you are allowed to repatriate the equivalent of what you brought in plus the nominal interest of an NRE account (Form A2, I believe) ... so, out of your 70 lacs, 40+interest is repatriable ... rupee appreciation adds to your gain In theory, yes. How...

The amrikis are going to sell the porkies very advanced weapons (but things they are not avraid will be copied by China). Their next step will be to offer India even more advanced wapons. Now India will be in a fix. If India rejects amriki stuff, it will be technically at disadvantage. If India purc...

I think the Aircrafts have secret location, that they are flown to, when there is a treat. Also there is a warning time (do remember that paki cruise missiles (if they have such acurate ones) will take some time to reach the target. using balistic missiles, is very risky (as it may spark a nuclear c...

The MP's are a very capable lot. Educated or uneducated. Even people like Lalu and Mulayam are exeptinally capable people.
