Ghettos spread out horizontally or concentrated vertically are a bad thing. They become islands where information distortion will invariably breed communalism. There are suburbs of Paris and Brussels which were left to ghettoise like this and law enforcement agencies would no longer date to enter. W...

m_saini, OT posts that fret & speculate over the past add nothing to the present or future dynamics with Nepal. Please take your stuff elsewhere. Coming back to the topic, the raise of a communist party to power in Nepal would have already raised some antennas in MEA and RAW. There have been rep...

Deans, The PLAGF can surely drag the discussions for a couple of months while all the time increasing its buildup and allowing its troops to acclimatise by end August in bases close to LAC or further away in Tibet. That still leaves them a 3 month window to attempt some serious action. India's advan...

Came across an interesting argument somewhere on yootyoob: China or more exactly CCP will never engage in a full scale war and risk body bags coming back because as a nation that has adopted a forced one child policy for long, soldiers dying on the war front will lead to as many families losing the ...

Face saver is simple - both sides agree to revert to status quo ante positions and initiate a series of discussions/negotiations to resolve all pending border disputes with an unspecified timeline. And make statements about multifaceted cooperation to fight pandemics, improve cultural ties, blah bla...

Trump has no deep rooted moral or ideological underpinnings. He reacts on the basis of unfolding events and does what suits him personally, and doesnt really care if it suits the GOP or the country or NATO or anyone else in the world. He doesn't care about any legacy, perhaps he will if he gets a se...

If India's demand is that Chinese Army must withdraw to April's "status quo ante" positions, then we are not imposing any costs for this Chinese misadventure. Makes us look weak to the Chinese. There has to be a punitive element in our demands so that the other side thinks twice before ta...

When the winter is over and ice thaws, they will surely take up these new positions again, nibbling some territory and gaining tactical advantages. But more importantly they will have proved that they can get away with such aggressions if India does not hold its ground, compel them to retreat AND ex...

Thanks, does that mean the air strips on the bases where the Rafale will be operating from, will be equipped with steel wire arresting systems for emergency recovery? If not this feature simply adds weight, cost and some maintenance overhead.

Any new indigenous fighter be it ORCA or TEDBF must incorporate stealth elements, some level of TVC, sensor fusion, network centric capabilities AND associated A2A & A2G missile development to make it a potent package. In hindsight, IAF's tall requirements for LCA 30+ years ago have made it a re...

There is lot of talk about "antiquated labour laws" in India that need to be reformed. I havent been able to find any clear examples of such laws and their impact, or how the recent reforms change the labour conditions.

Any sources forum members can point to would be great.
