Yes, sub 3k PCI country should be building "libraries" with books in 2025 to show up the Europeans and train more humanities people.

Somnath Mukherjee O2S That may actually attract people than collections of old outdated musty books that need a lot of care and money to maintain and nobody reads them. Even the mit library under their big old dome is now mostly for show i think with its circular galleries

Somnath Mukherjee O2S Architecture wise I agree.. our public spaces and govt architecture is hideous and so too the glass n concrete soul less tech parks. Higher end of teheran has beautiful apartment buildings which we lack here barring some boutique builders. Its all mess hall slop here

Pahalgam? What about the ones in Kishtwar, Doda, Udhampur, Poonch, Rajouri, Kokernag? They have all disappeared. They’re lying low and we seem to be struggling to catch them, another reason why some of those Pahalgam terrorists have been here for more than 2 years.

$55 million USD *PER* Rafale on top of the normal airframe+weapon cost just to customise them for the IAF’s needs The same IAF that cries in public that Indian industry doesn’t invest in domestic capacity

Yep - can say with very high degree of confidence that at least 2 x PAF Erieyes were destroyed between May 7 and May 10. One airborne kill attributed to S-400 somewhere over Dinga, while the second was likely destroyed inside its hangar at Bholari. What's more, it's very likely

Low probability👇. The islamist yahoos have an outlet to India (+ Af). Munir and his flunkeys are not suicide bombers - they value their Clifton bungalows, GC for their kids, apartments in Kensington too much to blow it all up...

Err, no. Nada. Nyet. Rubbish. IG left India @ the worst of worlds - receiving end of sanctions + no usable bomb. When AQ Khan threatened nukes in 1987, we were literally naked w/no qtr-usable bomb in place. Wasnt in place till mid-1990s. IG was the v worst, by a long mile..

No, there cannot be parity between India and China in indigenous military capability, not today, not in forceable future. Chinese economy and R&D output is multiple times that of India, their universities are in another league. We must acknowledge this and factor it in our plans

There is only one truth when it comes to power, and our forefathers said it a very long time ago - "Veer Bhogya Vasundhara" (वीर भोग्य वसुंधरा) "The brave shall inherit the Earth". --- Either be ready to fight for what is yours, or be ready to compromise.

Not even a TD exists for the 4.5 gen fighter that AMCA MK1 is supposed to be. Chinese are flying the J36 today, AMCA in 2036 will not be competitive against the cutting age of that time. We should not order AMCA in large numbers and fund the FUFA (parallel) with the money saved.

They were fortunate that all doors and windows were open, allowing much of the gas to escape outdoors, significantly reducing the explosion's impact.

13 out of 22 survived??!!

In all the excitement about the B-2s and their GBU-57A/B MOPs, people seem to have missed a small detail - a cruise missile submarine (SSGN - most likely Ohio Class) fired 30 x Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles from somewhere in the Gulf of Oman. For India, building a B-2 a pipe

Wow! Interesting that this is now mainstream!

"The veneer"

A sikh is chief of air staff. A dalit is President. An "interfaith kid" is leader of opposition in Parliament. Any # of interfaith "kids" are CXOs in India Inc. Heck, JNU types dont get anythng better than Muzaffarpur college jobs, projection unltd?;)

Scandi/Nordics are post industrial societies. In 1970s/ 80s manufacturing as % of GDP in Sweden/Norway was close to 20%. In Singapore it was 27% in 2004. India has never ever touched 18%. PK is Ingliss Ispeaking Laloo Yadav. Good at elections, zero in all else.
