Even if china exported all it's gold production to India .. it would fullfill only one-third of our annual requirement.
Cheap chinese gold is welcome.. (off course, chinese quality is always a concern. Huh !! who wants fake CPC gold !! And CPC's production figures are always "politically...
^^^ Good. Chinese buy gold when it's at it's costliest. :laugh:
There is more than 100% increase in the price of Gold in less than 4 years (i.e. in 2008.. when chinese were buying US treasuries earning less than 1% interest). Great time for chinese to buy gold. :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway, on...
Well, the investors who withdrew dollar, paid more.. and now, if they get in they get less rupees.
Though, NRIs got a golden opportunity in those few vital months.
It's always dicey to bet on the FX rate .... I am myself waiting now for SGDINR to come back to 45-plus. It's a 2 rupee loss...
Why should I defend... but I am willing to accept that some people have a weak ego.
Next, if I say you have a low "IQ", your ego will be hurt. I credit that a dolphin or a chimpanzee will have a better "IQ" than you.
Leave alone the "caste system" and "toilets" stuff. Perhaps you are...
Next you'll feel ashamed when some one calls you a "chinese".
Anyway, I cited the link to show what BBC thinks .... what much of the world thinks.
Anyway, a weak ego makes you paranoid... the less said the better.
Not only the flanker, but even it's engine (AL-31) is made in India.
China still imports AL-31.
It's another matter that MKI is a different generation of aircraft than the chinese crrap. A case of a tiger being compared to a donkey.
The interesting thing is that HongKongers were happy under British .... everyone hated 1997.
And off course the japanese: they didn't treat chinese like slaves, but as rats.
And believe me there is a big difference between a slave and a laboratory rat.
I really love that IAF sticks to it's requirements (contemporary requirements; not the 1993 requirements).
It's the only way to keep ADA / DRDO in the hot seat ... making them stretch their capabilities.
AESA will be a useful upgradation on the Mk-2, as compared to the Mk-1 LCA.
I only came to this thread for amusement ... to see what chinkies were posting about monsoons, rupee rate etc.
Damn.... they wouldn't be seen in this thread for some time now. :(
:laugh: :laugh:
There was a reason why the everybody wanted to come to India .... Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama set out on dangerous exploratory missions to find a route to INDIA (not a non-entity you refer to as china).
So much for your stupid claims about the "importance of china" in the world...
ISRO's outputs are comparable to NASA, in the ratio of their respective budgets.
But, more than needing our own NASA (at it's scale), we need an APPLE.
Private sector R&D pays for itself.
Right now, private sector needs for technology are more economically met by techonology transfer from...
I am surprised, nobody has asked what these percentages mean !!!
What exactly? - India produces 3.5% of the papers published in the world?
Then it means nothing.. Bah.
That said, no country remotely approaches USA in terms of R&D output ..... no.2, 3, 4 are all lumped together.
And the...
China is getting more and more afraid of India... a barometer of that is the number of posts the chinese are posting on Indian monsoons, Indian economy, Indian exchange rates, ..... things which they have nothing to do with.
The concern is heightened because Europe and America are no longer...
Singapore is a close friend of India too .... and there are plenty of other forums where they keep meeting, collaborating, discussing.
And then Singapore is anyways a member of ASEAN and India-ASEAN have close ties itself.
