    Dominated by Hindus, Ayodhya village elects Muslim man as gram pradhan

    Sigh! It's a puff piece, meant to embolden unitary values between the people of our country. It speaks both to the character of the pachayat head and his constituents that he was elected. Despite the increased friction and fear mongering, this is what India is like for a common man, normal...

    Fire on board INS Vikramaditya, all personnel safe: Navy

    It's always need vs cost, most of the time economic considerations will play a larger role. Our navy is in its transformative stage, teething problems are a given, whether we are learning and adapting is the real issue.

    Fire on board INS Vikramaditya, all personnel safe: Navy

    The entire ship is one big organism, it's functioning dependant on each constituent and its effectiveness as able as its weakest link, human or otherwise. Perfection in everything with zero error might be the characteristics of the CCP but us mortals have to stumble our way to a working solution.

    Fire on board INS Vikramaditya, all personnel safe: Navy

    These accidents are emblamatic of our aging fleet. It's embarassing to read such news with such consistent periodicity. It's understandable to have some teething issues for a transforming navy, but such accidents and that too on a regular basis erode trust. Hopefully, each one should be the...

    The Failed State: India

    The buck stops at the top. There's no denying that lives could have been saved had we acted with premonition and foresight. There's also no denying that the second wave has exposed our faults, admitting otherwise is an exercise in folly. Our polity has failed us, "is hamam me sab nange hai" ...

    Illegal Chinese Logging is destroying Africa's forests

    It's not an excuse, simply an observation. If something exists in a periodic cycle lasting centuries then there exists a much fundamentally deeper issue that needs to be resolved first. If the self is capable then the other cannot hope to corrupt or alter it. Anyone getting exploited is...

    Illegal Chinese Logging is destroying Africa's forests

    You know what's the sad part? Chinese are only the latest, not the first nor the last. Exploitation of Africa by foreign powers is old as history itself.

    India approved by US to buy six more P-8I maritime patrol aircraft for $2.42bn

    When you're right, you're right. Guess we'll disband our entire armed forces cuz our incompetent Govt. Couldn't handle corona. Our neighborhood is the most peacefull one, we don't even need em. Bhaijaan aapko Kharidari aur khairat me fark malum hai?

    India approved by US to buy six more P-8I maritime patrol aircraft for $2.42bn

    How fortunate, that matters of global relations are not in your esteemed hands. Please kind sir, keep the floodgates of charity open, we cannot subsist without our elder brothers say so and it is only you and your donations that keep us going, we bow before the mercy of emperor Xi. I'll...

    China government - US government - India government

    Oh yes, it is quite distinct from the normal collage of poo smells we're grown used to. Funnily enough it smells like bat soup, who would've thunk it.

    China government - US government - India government

    Damn man, stay classy. Also I think the third pic is from from a video game rather than an actual pic. Not that that has any bearing on the logic of this thread, but when you mocking someone else's dead you might wanna hit it home with the real ones rather than the animated ones. Nothing feels...

    Fellow Indian Members

    Thank you. It speaks to the good in men that despite the acrimonious relationship between us there are voices rising up in this tragedy that would offer help even to their enemies. To reject or mock it outright goes against standards of decency. At the very least, in a time of war against a...

    Pakistan may soon face similar situation to India if current trend continues: Imran

    Honestly? We wouldn't wish this on anyone. If anything this virus is the common enemy. Those who do wish Ill of others are either mentally or morally retarded. Sadly the internet seems to be teeming with them. Anonymity brings out the worst in some people.

    Covid-19 in India - Second Wave - World Extends Help and Support - Updates and Discussion

    It was a warm gesture on GoPs and Pakistanis part to offer aid in our time of need. It speaks highly of their moral fibre. It's common sense to thank and reserve that aid for a time when it's needed. Indian citizen lives take priority over any brinksmanship any day. It's regrettable that even...

    Tipu Sultan, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's lives to be turned into world class productions: Fawad Chaudhry

    This brings back so many happy memories of childhood Sunday mornings. Nostalgia hits like a sucker punch sometimes. They should definitely get this theme, hope they do justice to the character and the show.

    The Pacific Ocean is Not Japan's Sewer !

    The safety of dumping radioactive waste and the concerns of the above mentioned nations intersects if the dumping is done in a region which will have a direct effect on exploitation of resources by the aforementioned nations. That's what their concern is essentially stemming from. If dumped in...

    The Pacific Ocean is Not Japan's Sewer !

    The claims seems to be exaggerated. Water is a very good insulator for radiation, keeps it localised to one region. Chinese Govt. Quoting international law on one subject while studiously ignoring it on another is quite ironic.

    India fights Covid: Pictures from the Battlefield

    Exactly! However I might add, self restraint is an active skill poorly practiced by the common man and the elderly. It is infeasable to expect the entire population to constantly practice it and unreasonable to assume that despite all good practices one might not get infected with covid.

    India fights Covid: Pictures from the Battlefield

    Government response and public response are entirely different things. @Dark1 was right, the public has grown lax, self restraint, an important component towards controlling this pandemic is largely absent in public places. The immunization numbers are impressive and encouraging, but due to our...
