    Stanford : 1,494 Indians among Top 2% scientists in World

    The ability and calibre of our top ranked institutions was never in question. It is our secondary and higher secondary education sectors that need attention and calibration. We are woefully weak there. It is heartening to read about achievements of my countrymen being lauded, however the field...

    Thousands of cars form lines to collect food in Texas

    I find the absence of collective responsibility ( my personal opinion coloured by my experiences) in Americans to be strange. Being a part of a nation comes with not only benefits but also responsibilities. I might be wrong though, one reason might be that on average Americans don't trust the...

    Thousands of cars form lines to collect food in Texas

    The poor really struggle in the USA, income disparity must have widened further during this pandemic. Charity is a sign of a state failing its duties. Salutations to those kind souls who help and shame on the richest govt. In the world not being able to take care of its most vulnerable.

    The Laws of Manu and What They Would Mean for Citizens of the Hindu Rashtra

    What a load of hogwash. First off, discussing religion always results in mud being thrown back, something explicitly forbidden in this forum. Secondly, for Hindus, it isn't a monolithic bloc who follow every rule of their divine texts, even with Muslims and a single divine source there are...

    A Former US Army Officer Examines the World View of the Indian Military

    Aptly put. Clearly, my delusions of grandeur compelled me to ask such basic questions or point out common sense. Going by your astute logic and informative artwork I've prepared a suitable counter. I hope it matches the level of relevance and elegance of your ripostes.

    A Former US Army Officer Examines the World View of the Indian Military

    True, it's in the authors interest to appease his audience for greater sales, however criticism can be levelled without it being taken as provocation. Just from the few excerpts provided here, some lessons can be learned and implemented, it would be foolish to ignore them due to delicate...

    A Former US Army Officer Examines the World View of the Indian Military

    Your post pretty much sums up this excerpt from the article succinctly. "This emotive lens was in evidence during in wargames and exercises where both sides typically overestimated their own capabilities while simultaneously underestimating those of their putative enemy."

    The officers are fat and oily, the soldiers are as thin as firewood, and the Indian army“s miserable appearance is the true portrayal

    Where, pray tell, on a medical journal is the article reinforcing your wild claims.

    'He never left me:' Pakistani man in Dubai devoted to care of blind Indian neighbor.

    My salutations to this man for his kind spirit. He surely stands as a testament to the kind and giving nature of the Pakistani awaam.

    US 10 Millions, India eight and half millions, the world reaching 50 millions

    Yup, can attest to that. People have become complacent, lax or most likely fatigued from the constant corona related news bombarding them. Significant majority do continue to observe all precautions, problem is, the minority that don't, probably can outnumber some countries population.

    India set to touch 328 foreign satellite launches on Saturday

    No need to be salty, it's a revenue earning enterprise that feeds into the national GDP. With commercialization comes competitive R&D, which you can surely agree is sorely needed for this region. It's also not as clear cut as simply choosing one over the other, there are funds allocated for...

    US sells oil seized from Iran to Venezuela for $40 million

    You've made all valid points and all are true to some extent. USA, China, Russia and Europe hold enough nuclear armaments to inflict catastrophic damages upon each other, but that's about it. Currently, none possesses the capability to land troops on the others territory in sufficient numbers...

    US sells oil seized from Iran to Venezuela for $40 million

    When they were capable of doing so in a direct confrontational manner, they did. Their federation broke up and now covert means suits them best. USA has been the sole superpower for about 30 years now. It has been free to set the global agenda, unopposed for that period. To give you an idea...

    Might. Might is right. So long as the US follows that creed, it will continue to ring true.

    Featured Free speech has limits, Canada's Trudeau says

    Sadly agree with your last point. Every community has certain red lines which are sensitive in nature and it is up to the state to define the limits of free speech in a manner which balances both. Any aggressive tilt in one direction always leads to mass protests. Might I also remind you that...

    Nuclear Weapons BANNED. Treaty realised!

    It's interesting to note that the treaty has also included the threat to use nuclear arsenal as an offense and has termed it actionable in form of sanctions. This has the potential to be misused for political purposes. So long as the P5 create an exclusionary group regarding nuclear use, the...
