This is indeed good news. :toast_sign: For a long time moon has been neglected by us on Earth. More such studies need to be done.

Congrats to ISRO. They deserve all the credit. There is no other space agency that could have completed so much in the small budget that ISRO has.

This is indeed a very brave step taken by the very courageous young lady. These terrorists have been forcibly having their way with women in isolated villages and it is high time that they were given a fitting reply.

Guys have you read The Case of the Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif. I found it quite interesting but the ideas were too whacky for me. I believe the Major Kayani mentioned in the book is the present COAS. Please correct me if I am wrong.

On its day if everything clicks then Pakistan are the most deadly team on the pitch. However over a last couple of years the team has been mired in internal politics and this has affected the performance. Pakistan need to show consistency to be able to win all the matches in the tournament.

Almost 90% of the Hawkers selling flowers in Delhi are from Bangladesh. After living in Kolkata for nearly 20yrs one can recognise them by their pronunciation. When spoken in Bangla they will reply theu are from Kolkata and when pressed further they readily admit that they are from Dakha. All...

Its more appropriate for advertising some pan masala kind of stuff rather than missiles. Wonder what the ad agency was thinking when they made this

This is BS. For the armed forces it is a very difficult situation. All the NGO types dissapear when the Terrorists kill people and if something happens by the Army then they are out on full force condemning the Army. they are the easiest targets for these Human rights champions. OTOH it is...

We can beat around the bush, dismiss TOI and all but the fact is that a large quantity of RDX has been found at the Border and also coupled with the recent firing along the IB the security agencies need to be very careful. With the focus tightly on the LOC, there will be attempts from the IB.

Please do not shoot the messenger. Just saying that it is from Times of India does not change the facts. From the BBC link given above for your benefit This report in in itself is nothing to jump about but if you read it along with this

One of the reasons for the Indian reluctance to go ahead with the project could be due to the huge gas finds in the KG Basin by Relaince, GSPC and ONGC. Also there are reports that the Mahanadi blocks that both Relaince and ONGC are prospecting could turn out to be bigger than the KG Block...

It is too early to comment on this. The reports predictably will be vary from one extreme end to the other, depending on the source. The petrol tankers represented legitimate targets of the NATO forces, there is no question of that. The only outcome is that the Taliban guys have got a...

This is amazing and a very distressing news to me. I have stayed in Calcutta for nearly 20 years and never knew about this chain of events. I am in complete agreement with the the article that at least the ethnic Chinese community deserves an apology from us. On the other hand when in...

This is a very good idea which India , Pakistan and Iran should work together to achieve. Afganistan like Switzerland is a land locked country and needs to play a very delicate balancing game while keeping it's own interests at the forefront. This will be a win-win for all concerned.

Apart for many reasons one of the main reasons that the people are overlooking is that Mr.Jaswant Singh has criticized Sardar Patel and with Mr.Advani trying to don the mantel of Sardar Patel, this was not at all acceptable. Loh Purush and Chhote Sardar: Two reasons why BJP can't take...

I don't think Advani was expelled by BJP over his remarks on Jinnah. I would love to read your rejoinder on his book. Please note that this book has been used as an excuse to expel him, during recent elections in Rajasthan Jaswant Singh was supposed to have had a hand in the defeat of the...
