Bala, Nehru is deserving of a lot of criticism. But not on this matter. The offer to India of Security council seat in place of Chuna is a fiction. Therefore the question of Nehru turning that down doesn't arise. Nehru did speak in favour of Bejing replacing Tipai. But that was more of a scholarly a...

The approximate cost of the missiles is 90 crores a piece.

I was hoping for the costs to have started coming down as a result of mass production of the system.

The current P5 are the so call allied nations of the WW2. That's why both UK and France have the veto. That's also the reason why India will never gain a veto seat on the security council. The UN is a failure. It's in the Indian interests to ensure that the PRC efforts to completely upend the global...

Don't you think, that this decision should become relevant once the vehicle has been designed by the Indian vendor and is approaching the end of user testing.

WRT, the weight of the tank. The new concept vehicles presented by both the Americans and the Germans are both under 60 tons. One has space for a crew of 4 and the other has a 3 manned crew. So it's possible to do what the Indian army is asking for. But I have no confidence in the Indian Army's abil...

This is an extremely unorthodox approach to solving the MSP issue.

I have a feeling that this will cause a split between the more politically minded section of the farmers and those who are interested in farmers welfare.

IIRC, the ex Dutch F 16s were cleared for export. But the Ukrainian war has created some wrinkles in the transfer of F 16 to Ukraine. That leaves the JF 17, the T50 and the the Tejas as competation.

I have a bad feeling about this election.

What is the opposition doing. The "Farmers", are doing their best to trigger a violent response from the state. But what exactly are the opposition doing?

Do they think that a violence between the farmers and the state will get them Delhi?

The thing with this has deal is that both India and Qatar are now in each other's pocket. They need to honour the deal with us.

This is a long term plan to reduce the white population by compelling / councelling them to seek assisted suicide.

Financial saving, if any, is a net bonus.

We should encourage them to greater radicalisation. The quicker Canada becomes a real Pakistan, the better it will be for us.

No ji for me. Yes, I was implying that. CG is not restricted to EEZ when needed. It's not like the "boats" stop once it crosses the EEZ. The major limitation of the Indian coast guard equipment is that the ships are mostly for operations in India's immediate periphery. They don't have shi...
