Infected migrant workers ‘recover’ fast

An official from the Health Department quoted by the New Indian Express said that the condition in West Bengal is better than the national average where 2.55% of patients were in ICUs, 1.96% on oxygen support, and around 0.48% on ventilators. Reportedly, most of the infected migrant workers aged between 20-55 years had no comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. As such, they recovered from the deadly disease within 7-8 days and required little medical care.

All these years on border the Indian side behaved like it's India's fault but when Chinese dishonour border agreement and kill unsuspecting soldiers and those who lead from front then it is suddenly Indian PM's fault. Chinese broke border agreements like panchsheel, and now this for road connecting to strengthen Siachen and our response , any which way, seems to have pissed off some.

I would rather have political leadership to tighten screws and get back Nepal to Indian side and punish pukes every time Chinese do something apparently on their behalf. Just a short term goal won't do perhaps. The political elite has , over decades, instead of descending on Pakis to rephorm their society, handed over Nepal to communists because they are pals but this country is not Nehru's or his father's property.

Perhaps we should reduce our dealings with the Chinese (and Pakis) to a strict minimum, avoiding all the shows and extravaganza, as we used to do earlier (eg. last year at Mahabalipuram). This is the least we can do to honour those brave hearts who sacrificed their lives to protect our own. Rogue nations do not deserve any civilised treatment.

Looking at China's largest trading partners who run a deficit with China, ignoring EU since it consists of 27 nations, and Hong Kong whose imports from China are for re-exporting, India runs the second largest deficit after US. Begin by imposing tariffs, target to cut the deficit by half in 5 years. Its ridiculous that we've given them close to half a trillion dollars over the last 10 years only to shut our manufacturing and have them hurt us directly or indirectly .
The last column is the deficit. The data is from 2017-18, in the recent fiscal year the deficit has swelled to 56 billion $.

At the very least local MIC build up, medical facilities near borders, etc. need to start moving.

"Local products not meeting requirements" people need to be put on notice.

Politicians sleeping with the enemy need to be dealt with. Same goes for academia, students, news outlets, EJ networks, mosques, etc.

All the Chinese apps should have already been banned within India for the national security purposes. Followed by all the other Chinese trinklets that call home. Not sure why GoI could not have provided student tuition waivers for any student that finds such issues.

What’s happening in Manipur? BJP led gov going to collapse??

Suraj · Post by **Suraj** » 18 Jun 2020 02:41

Continuing from the more sanitized discussion in the economy thread:

Lets say you have a huge factory producing all kinds of things. You have overcapacity, having invested in the factory and needing to sell. Thus you need buyers. Down south you have an enormous buyer. Not as rich as you, but getting bigger. He's seemingly hooked on all the cheap items you produce. Some of the things you sell him are essential or hard to replace, but the bulk of it is just cheap goods he is addicted to. It's partly his fault - he could replace a lot of it himself but doesn't seem to be trying hard enough. You're making lots of money out of him each year - $50 billion or more.

What is the absolutely stupidest thing you can do ? Pick a fight with him and make him resolve to close his markets to you. He may do something you can easily challenge in WTO, but the case will take years, and it's going to cost you tens or billions, if not cumulatively north of $100 billion over a multi year period.

The huge downside of having a huge surplus with someone that's significantly based on non-essential consumer goods that they could themselves replace, is that you need to be careful to keep them hooked to that.

So far , GoI's response has been calculated. Cut off bidding opportunities, and keep cutting more off. Rather than get upset and angry about the conflict, this is an amazing opportunity - identify the biggest and juiciest avenues by which the Chinese are enriching themselves with their exports to us. Demand a cut to that. WTO case against us ? Who cares. It will take years to resolve, and time = opportunity cost.

They run a $60 billion surplus . Per year. That's a very nice surplus they have. Shame if something happened to it.

Identify the biggest Chinese imports to India. Propagate this widely. This is a great opportunity to cut that surplus by anywhere from $20-50 billion. It'll be the costliest war they ever fought. At minimum in the tens of billions, if not more than $100 billion over a multi year period of lost business.

Never a smart idea to pick a fight with a huge buyer. The only question is how motivated is this buyer to harm you back, after you make the mistake of fighting him. So , how motivated are we ? As they say, don't get mad. Get even.

Did you know Congress party had signed a deal with Chinese Communist Party to consult each other on ‘important issues’: Read details
https://www.opindia.com/2020/06/congres ... am-ladakh/
The Congress party’s kid-glove treatment to China and the soft-condemnation against the Communist nation has now raised eyebrows as to know why the principal opposition party has been soft towards the hostile neighbour of the country. It is being said that the close connections between the Congress party and the CPC may be one of the reasons why the principal opposition party has now chosen to remain mute in attacking the Chinese and instead has been unleashing all its attacks against its own government.
Congress had signed a deal with the CCP to consult on ‘important issues’

One of the main reasons for the silence of the Congress party, perhaps, stems from the 7 August, 2008 agreement between the Sonia Gandhi-led Congress party and the Communist Party of China (CPC).

During UPA1 in 2008, the Congress party and the Communist Party of China (CPC) had signed a deal in Beijing for exchanging high-level information and co-operation between them. The memorandum of understanding (MoU) also provided the two parties with the “opportunity to consult each other on important bilateral, regional and international developments”.

Interestingly, the MoU was signed by the then Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi and on the Chinese side, it was signed by none other than Xi Jinping himself, who was then the Chinese vice-president and standing committee member of the CPC’s politburo. The MoU was signed in the presence of his mother and party president Sonia Gandhi.

Before the signing of the MoU, the then Congress president Sonia Gandhi and his son Rahul Gandhi had held a long meeting with Xi and other senior leaders of the Communist Party of China to discuss issues of mutual interest.

In 2008, Sonia Gandhi had visited Beijing along with Rahul, daughter Priyanka, son-in-law Robert Vadra and their two children to attend the opening of the Olympic Games. A year before, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi had also led a delegation of the Congress party to China.

India Decisively Dismantles 47 Years Of State Monopoly In Coal Mining As PM Modi Launches Auction For 41 Coal Blocks
https://swarajyamag.com/insta/india-dec ... oal-blocks
At present, despite being the world's fourth-largest producer (it produced 729 million tonnes in 2019-20) , India is also the second-largest importer of the dry-fuel (estimated imports of around 135 million tonnes)

The auctions follows a series of steps initiated by the Modi government to end the near monopoly of Coal India in the mining. India nationalised its coal industry in 1973 allowing domestic coal to be mined only by public sector companies.

Major global coal mining firms, which were so far forbidden from mining coal in India, can now invest in Indian coal sector. Indian firms too can invest in a commodity business where domestic supply falls short of the demand, opening up an opportunity to substitute 135 MT coal imports

According to rating agency Crisil. the government's move to open up commercial coal mining could halve the annual expenditure incurred on importing non-coking coal to as much as Rs 45,000 crore because of substitution through domestic production. In fiscal 2020, India imported an estimated 180-190 million tonnes (MT) of non-coking coal costing over Rs 90,000 crore.

96 Per Cent Of Rs 4 Lakh Crore Worth AGR Dues Against PSUs To Be Withdrawn: Centre Tells SC
https://swarajyamag.com/insta/96-per-ce ... e-tells-sc
The Centre on Thursday (18 June) informed the Supreme Court (SC) it is willing to withdraw 96 per cent of the Rs 4 Lakh crore dues pending against various Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in the adjusted gross revenue (AGR) matter.

The top court noted that PSUs haven't been in the business of providing telecom services.

Last week the apex court had pulled up the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for raising a demand of Rs 4 lakh crore from various PSUs in the garb of its last year judgement on adjusted gross revenue (AGR) matter and threatened to begin contempt proceedings against the officers concerned.

The apex court had said its judgement was silent on public sector companies, and told the Solicitor General that telecom dues demands against PSUs must be withdrawn.

Mehta argued that PSUs held the telecom spectrum.

xpost from China thread

Here are some hard realities: the Indian people and economic entiies are addicted to cheap Chinese goods, like an opium or crack addiction. It ranges all the way from Ambani level down to the mango man with an Oppo phone. 'Blaming' them is pointless. This is normal human behavior. Even China was one brought to its knees by addicting the entire population literally to opium, and what's more *we* made most of the opium that the British then shipped over to China. In Hong Kong, there's still a derogatory reference to Indians as 'ah san' - British managed Indian sepoys who drove the opium trade into mainland.

A political apparatus has the goal to wean the population off a bad habit. Telling people 'please stop using Oppo etc' does not work. People are selfish. They want to keep using cheap things while demanding someone else do something. You know what works well to get everyone angry and motivated to do something about it ? A war. A small border war that inflames anger.

It's hard to make domestic industrial policy while imports keep pouring in and people simply don't want to change. The smart politician knows that blaming the people who voted for him isn't the right way to tackle this. The smart way is to get them angry at someone else as a result of which they're collectively disgusted about the imports coming in, and they themselves can be compelled to stop doing so.

There's a greater truth to 'war is just politics by other means' than people realize here. This is an opportunity - to stop an incredible amount of Indian wealth being drained each year by an enormous trade deficit we have with China. Each year we pay them the price of 4 MMRCA deals.

Given the above, what would you rather do ? Sit back and contemplate just how much the Indian industrial base was being eroded by the endless flow of cheap imports and now the chance to channel popular anger to end that ? Or just blame the PM ?

One has to realize that when you run a huge trade deficit, and the seller picks a fight with you, you have the power to make him pay a disproportionate cost by shutting your market off to him. And shutting that market can happen down all the way to the individual level - it's exactly what the Indian political leadership would be happy to see, because it would enable their own policies to work more effectively.

NDTV partners with Christian Missionary organisation World Vision, which allegedly helps US Govt to pursue its foreign policy goals

The mission statement of World Vision includes, "Witness to Jesus Christ by life, deed, word and sign that encourages people to respond to the Gospel." It also says, "Public Awareness that leads to informed understanding, giving, involvement and prayer."
https://www.opindia.com/2020/06/world-v ... ree-india/
The mainstream media is known to have a covert understanding with Christian missionaries and other dubious foreign funded NGOs that prevents them from reporting accurately regarding matters involving them. But now, it is not secret anymore. NDTV has partnered with a Christian evangelical organisation, World Vision, for apparently a ‘hunger-free India’.

World Vision India is a branch of World Vision, which is an explicitly evangelical organisation. The website of WV says, “World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.”

TMC supporter Garga Chatterjee slapped with FIR for calling Ahom dynasty’s founder Sukaphaa as a “Chinese invader”

https://www.opindia.com/2020/06/tmc-gar ... ir-lawyer/

Sukhaphaa was the founder and the first ruler of the Ahom dynasty in medieval Assam. He was a Tai prince from Mong Mao whose reign is celebrated as Ahom Diwas or Assam Day on December 2 every year. Chaolung Sukaphaa had established the Ahom kingdom in 1228 which survived for around 600 years and led to the unification of several ethnic groups in the region. In memory of the ruler, he is often referred to as Chaolung, meaning ‘great Lord.’ Sukaphaa’s reign lasted for around 40 years between 1228 AD to 1268 AD.

The report has argued that dismissing the credentials of the founder of the Ahom dynasty is a disservice to his legacy, compounded with a lack of understanding about India’s north-eastern region. Another aspect that has to be highlighted following Chatterjee’s comments to link Sukaphaa to China, is the tendency to racially discriminate north-eastern people on the basis of ‘mongoloid based features’

Garga Chatterjee spreads hate against Non-Bengalis

This is not the first time that the foul-mouthed TMC troll had tried to spread hatred against Non-Bengalis. Earlier, Garga Chatterjee went on to insult the Marwari community by referring to them as ‘dishonest community that indulges in black-marketing’. He had also suggested that all of India’s problems could be solved if Biharis, people from Uttar Pradesh, Marwaris and Gujaratis were restricted to their own states for their livelihood. Chatterjee had also issued veiled threats against non-Bengalis living in West Bengal.

#SCOnLeash

Indian SC which is super busy and kept on the leash by likes of Dua......

I wonder why SC isn't investigating brown lizards, sabotaging of Indian MIC, correlation between Islam and terrorism, mewat etc.

Is the Odisha Govt merely abiding by SC order to stop Ratha Jatra of Shri Jagannatha this year? Here is the truth

After the order, at 7:30 PM in the evening, the state government held a cabinet meeting and decided to "Comply with the Supreme Court directive". While state govt wants to paint a picture that it’s the SC order which stopped the Ratha Jatra, people can see through it. SC took this decision based on state government response which was not affirmative.

https://www.opindia.com/2020/06/odisha- ... the-truth/

A brief background of events may be in order before understanding how the matter reached court. In the first week of May, the Odisha government said that they would seek MHA’s directive on whether Ratha Jatra can be held this year. The first sign of their lack of decisiveness. On a pure state administrative matter, they sought MHA directive. On 7th May, MHA issued a letter to Chief Secretary, Odisha clearly outlining that it’s for the Government of Odisha to decide if they want to celebrate Ratha Jatra or not. However, the construction of chariot and other rituals may begin.

After receiving the order, the Odisha government said that they will make a decision at an opportune time. However, they allowed the chariot construction to begin, 12 days after Akshaya Tritiya, the usual date on which it begins.

As per Shree Jagannatha Temple Administration (SJTA, a government body) order, Swabs of all sevayatas associated with Ratha Jatra rituals were collected and sent for testing. They were quarantined at Bhakta Nivas and advised to stay there and not meet anyone else till the end of Ratha Jatra. With reduced manpower and lost days, they pulled double shifts day and night to finish the work on time.

Other rituals associated with the Jatra were also conducted as per rule. Deva Snana Purnima (Bath Ceremony) was conducted with minimal sevayat presence. Below you can see Deva Snana Purnima during last year and this year.

19-year old girl stabbed multiple times to death in Ghaziabad, two killers Asif and Aamir arrested while prime accused Sheru Rukh remains absconding
https://www.opindia.com/2020/06/19-year ... bsconding/
In Ghaziabad’s Tulsi Niketan, Sheru Khan alias Shah Rukh stabbed a 19-year old woman multiple times and murdered her in the middle of the road along with two of his friends on Wednesday. The victim was taken to the hospital immediately but she succumbed to the injuries on Thursday morning.

As per reports, the deceased, Naina Kaur (19) was a resident of Tulsi Niketan’s Vivek Vihar colony where she lived with her father Baldev Singh (62) and Neelam Kaur (58). Naina had just completed her intermediate last year and was pursuing a course in Nursing. Her wedding was scheduled for June 22 in Indore. Her elder sister is married.

He added, “I had only gone 50 meters away when three men arrived on a bike. One of them, with his face covered in a mask, pulled Naina’s hands and thrashed her, after which she fell. When my wife tried to rescue her, he slapped her and she fell unconscious. One of them stopped me from trying to reach my wife and daughter. When Naina saw her mother lying on the road, she got up and slapped the accused several times. Suddenly, he stabbed her with a knife- first on her neck, abdomen, and other parts. He then fled with two others on the bike.”

Suraj wrote:Continuing from the more sanitized discussion in the economy thread:

Lets say you have a huge factory producing all kinds of things. You have overcapacity, having invested in the factory and needing to sell. Thus you need buyers. Down south you have an enormous buyer. Not as rich as you, but getting bigger. He's seemingly hooked on all the cheap items you produce. Some of the things you sell him are essential or hard to replace, but the bulk of it is just cheap goods he is addicted to. It's partly his fault - he could replace a lot of it himself but doesn't seem to be trying hard enough. You're making lots of money out of him each year - $50 billion or more.

What is the absolutely stupidest thing you can do ? Pick a fight with him and make him resolve to close his markets to you. He may do something you can easily challenge in WTO, but the case will take years, and it's going to cost you tens or billions, if not cumulatively north of $100 billion over a multi year period.

The huge downside of having a huge surplus with someone that's significantly based on non-essential consumer goods that they could themselves replace, is that you need to be careful to keep them hooked to that.

So far , GoI's response has been calculated. Cut off bidding opportunities, and keep cutting more off. Rather than get upset and angry about the conflict, this is an amazing opportunity - identify the biggest and juiciest avenues by which the Chinese are enriching themselves with their exports to us. Demand a cut to that. WTO case against us ? Who cares. It will take years to resolve, and time = opportunity cost.

They run a $60 billion surplus . Per year. That's a very nice surplus they have. Shame if something happened to it.

Identify the biggest Chinese imports to India. Propagate this widely. This is a great opportunity to cut that surplus by anywhere from $20-50 billion. It'll be the costliest war they ever fought. At minimum in the tens of billions, if not more than $100 billion over a multi year period of lost business.

Never a smart idea to pick a fight with a huge buyer. The only question is how motivated is this buyer to harm you back, after you make the mistake of fighting him. So , how motivated are we ? As they say, don't get mad. Get even.

I saw your post after I posted on the Cheeni thread. Glad to see we are on the same page. I wouldn't wait to demand anything from anyone, though. Indians with Tech & business resources can take the initiative and start the war.

We are Indians, we may love our gadgets and trinkets but we are not lost without those things, we know how to do austere tapas and bring down rakshasa-forces. And we are not bleddy Venezuela that we don't know how to make for ourselves things we truly need. Chinese don't know us; what they hear of us, they can't believe because they can't conceive who we are.

Why are India's neighbours stronger than India? There's no India in China. There's no India in Pakistan. No India in Nepal. Contrarily, thanks to democracy, there's a big China in India, a big Pakistan in India. Even a Nepal in India.

This does begs the question though: when everyone is against you, is it really their fault or is it your own?

"Biggest democracy secularism" natak hasn't really worked out for us.

Even during the recent clash with chicoms, noone really came out to support poor ole voting democracy but they sure as hell bend over for the "communist" cheen

There's something to be said about the present state of democracy in India. Would Vietnam have been successful against Chinese invaders if they had democracy?

India's a democracy so everything's to be kept in mind. Loose few elections and everyone's chess moves would come crashing down. There is a binary choice here in terms of leadership. One would get you % of your dreams while the other would get your 100% of your nightmares.

This PM has long ago set the example that he doesn't interfere in the revenge business. So revenge would be there. While the revenge needs to be taken by IA, the PM has a long list of tasks that need to be completed for the long term goals.

Roads and infrastructure need to be continued to be built up.
MIC needs to be continued to be built up.
Traitors within the country need to be kept away so they don't come to power and sabotage.
PoK/GB
Jail all that were involved in delaying weapons and infrastructure projects.
Figure out retired military folks that have agendas and how they came to be.
...... the list goes on.......

The PM's responsibility is to secure the future from jaichands. If for that he's to hold the defensive posture, then one should go with the decision. You don't know which death he's saving you from.

If Chinese could manage to get Modi to loose power by letting go of few kilometers of land because Modi went on full blown offensive, then I'm sure that they will do that in a heartbeat. Chinese would grab that land back as soon as the govt changes. The whole LAC claim business is so murky that they can spin losses to their public in all sort of manners. I rather have all border areas get developed as much as possible in a defensive posture under this PM so the next jaichand in power can't easily hand over land.

One just doesn't know what he may be saving you from.

As Suraj has pointed out multiple times that this PM's power comes from eradicating poverty and there's nothing but poverty on the other side of a war. Especially after the Chinese virus economic setback. A dream come true for all BIFs. Winning a war doesn't guarantee winning election.
