Wow..exploded in a fireball after takeoff?? That's serious and to be honest unheard of!!

You are right about it being monitored. But those agencies will not go around publicly declaring they traced the movements..the same way that the Indian intelligence agencies won't. What were they supposed to do? Stop him from going to the temple because he is a Pakistani?

Agreed. Blame MoD for putting off purchase of new planes and the Air Chief for agreeing to fly them longer.

They are test flying an LCA everyday on weekdays for the past 2-3 weeks in bangalore despite cloudy skies.

This is ridiculous. If I was in Pakistan and I heard of a mosque with hordes of treasure inside I'd be tempted to go have a look. This whole scenario is making a mountain out of a molehill.

That's a little below the belt, but not entirely untrue either. Anyways, most of the power projects coming up in India are contracted to either Harbin Electric or Shanghai Electric/Turbines. So in a way China is contributing to the electrification of India. India has been able to make a strong...

MOSCOW — Airlines are a cautious lot, slow to trust a new plane maker with multibillion-dollar orders and passenger lives. It took Embraer, a Brazilian maker of regional jets, two decades to become a major supplier to the industry. So Sukhoi, a Russian company best known for supersonic...

Yeah...that seems to be an issue with Indo-US defense deals with US refusing tech transfer of a few technologies. But it's still an impressive bird. I wonder if they will allow India to use other vendors to upgrade it.

I am not defending his skills in politics. I am merely stating that he has written down certain facts about Rahul Gandhi which people find hard to digest. A lot of his article does come across as conspiracy theories and yes the article was written dramatically to gain him enough readership etc...

This is where I differ from you. His subject of study has nothing to do with it. My argument stems from the fact that I expect an intelligent person (from IIT or IIM or a person with no degree) who writes an article based on fact would have done some solid research before penning it down. Your...

You'd be surprised to know how many IITians are into politics right now. A degree is just a piece of paper and tells you what job a person can be trained for. Not what kind of person he is. The thing about intelligence is that you can use it to succeed in any aspect of life. Thats a fact and...

A lot of it is akin to conspiracy theories. But the part about Rahul Gandhi himself is quite true. Right from his period of study to his name on his passport. Rather than criticize him, I'd see it as hope that some people have actually started asking probing questions about our politicians. Even...

I agree with you. A pseudo urban monstrosity with a pretty looking tumorous growth on top is how it looks to me.

New Delhi, Aug 30 (IBNS) The Indian tsunami early warning centre (ITEWC) will start providing the tsunami warning service bulletins to the Indian Ocean Rim Countries on an operational basis after the Indian Ocean Tsunami drill scheduled for 12 October. India has been providing IOC benchmarked...

That would be a conflict point. But to be honest, reports from the last time around suggest that Tawang was the bone of contention between two sides. I take it as an indication that an agreement was reached regarding Aksai Chin.

Every country monitors a hostile country's satellites. Missile tests are conducted when a blind spot in the satellite is identified. Also ships can provide a high resolution of details in terms of missile trajectory, speed and behaviour that could help gauge capabilities and develop counters.

Last time around there had been a consensus between two sides to give up claims on populated areas. But talks were stuck on the issue of Tawang and we have actually gone backwards from there. Hopefully this time around the talks will be more constructive.

Interesting article. It would be interesting to see this analysis with the perspective of the Indian MMRCA.

An average person in either India or China will not be worried about such things. PDF tends to provide a skewed stereotype from both nations. I'm sure both nations have detected spies from either nation before and are keeping tabs on each other.What's surprising is the fact that these details...

Ok.We had concerns in India as investigations had revealed that MiG-29 is structurally flawed in that it has a tendency to develop cracks due to corrosion in the tail fin. Russia has shared this finding with India, which emerged after the crash of a Russian Air Force MiG-29 in December 2008. A...
