An interesting article about ISRO and it's low budget achievements when compared to other nations expenditure. A feather in the cap for Indian scientists. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/18/business/international/from-india-proof-that-a-trip-to-mars-doesnt-have-to-break-the-bank.html

An eloquent defence of the FGFA but I am inclined to believe the Indian Air Force's version of the aircraft's shortcomings rather than a desk jockey's aspirations as to what it might actually be.

A thoroughly romantic version of what actually did take place during the Anglo Nepali wars but reality is a bitter pill to swallow. The Gurkhas are superb and valiant fighters who offered no quarter but in the battles fought against the British they were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned...

Dr Pillai, considered to be the father of the world’s fastest supersonic BrahMos cruise missile I was under the misconception the the Brahmos' power plant was Russian. Perhaps I am mistaken.

It is about time that India took a firmer stand against Pakistani infiltration. The attack on the parliament building, the aggression in Kargil and numerous other incidents and India's response, always protest, summon the High Commissioner of Pakistan and other such mealy mouthed actions. A...

European diamond and other corporations have ruined African countries into a madhouse with stability of day-to-day life having become a gift rather than what should be obvious. It is time we help them set things right in whatever limited ways we can. While we can reap rich benefits of...

Build the right mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. Unfortunately, HAL has a predilection for talking up its yet to be born products and delivering garbage. Canopies that fly off trainer jets, trainee pilots killed in HAL's machines and experienced air crew also crashing, and...

Your detailed information is very elucidating and I take my hat off to you for that. HAL should not be promising the stars and delivering squat. Tejas is 20 years in the gestation phase and it is about time it became operational and entered service. I find your arguments very informative...

The IAF has its first loyalties to their flight crews, not to buying indigenous aircraft come what may. How many aircrew have died flying HAL's planes, HTT 32 et al. The laughable attempt to fit parachutes to aircraft instead of constructing an aircraft that stays in the air. HAL's crowning...

I completely agree with your assessment of the British Government's dealing with so called extremists. Britain has a long history of providing refuge to dissidents going back centuries or more. From Spanish fighters of the civil war to anti- Nazi intellectuals, communist sympathisers and Sikhs...

Your statement is just as bad as the one referring to UK Muslims as being potential terrorists. If such blanket criticisms are being made, accusations actually, perhaps you could direct me to a study that will vindicate the comments made both about the Muslims in the UK(potential terrorists)...

Do NOT demonize an entire religion; Muslims have as much right to be in the UK as you or anyone else. Hence we have individuals elevated to the House of Lords, in this case Baroness Warsi, a Muslim. Don't let your bigotted views dictate your rants.

The quotation is lifted off the epitaph carved on the memorial of the 2nd British Division in the cemetery and has become world-famous as the Kohima Epitaph in memory of the 1420 Indian and British allies killed in the 2nd World War battle. When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their...

According to a recent defence-ministry audit, only 29% of the products developed by the DRDO in the past 17 years have entered service with the armed forces. The organisation is a byword for late-arriving and expensive flops. The above is an extract from an article in the Economist and...

Don't be so utterly pathetic in your asinine arguments. Residents in Goa would like the navy to reduce its footprint in the state, a not unreasonable expectation as the constant expansion of territory under its control by the navy is downright frightening. It is more like an occupying force...

Then the logical move would be for the navy to pack up its bag and sundry belongings and head to Karwar. Goans do not want the navy occupying large tracts of land in an overcrowded state, especially as the acquisition of the bases was accomplished unilaterally with total disregard of the Goans'...

Once again women are displaying their prowess in an otherwise male dominated sphere. It is about time that they are given the opportunity to show their skills and abilities by piloting jet fighters. The rest of the world can't be wrong, USA, Russia, Pakistan, UK, all have women combat jockeys...

Colonialism was an ugly episode in history. The UK is not unique in lording it over on the indigenous peoples ( The Mongols, the Romans, India's good friend, Russia, in the form of the USSR, Spain et al ). This is a fact of life, get over it. Numerous illegals adding to the overburdened social...

No one is disputing that Indians have made considerable contributions to the UK. British defence industries had a number of engineers designing missiles, torpedoes and other defence related material and Indians figured prominently among the designers. But there have also been numerous illegals...

As it's a bankrupt country it should not bother any Indians. This statement flies in the face of reality as there are numerous people on visitors/students visas, surprise, including Indians who disappear on expiry of their visas. Begs the question, why do you want to stay in a bankrupt country?
