Many countries have concerns about using Chinese parts, especially as China is asserting itself militarily. It will take time, but a US sponsored alliance including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, India and some European countries will ultimately be able to create critical supply chains...
Not a surprise. India has a long-established and successful KPO business model. Wages in tier 1 cities are now so high that accounting firms, which pay lower than investment banks or consulting firms, are now being priced out. So, it is not surprising that they are moving to cities with lower...
Also Tata doesn't report its EV sales separately, so it is not clear where they would rank in that chart. The point is that India is providing large tax incentives for EV compared to other technologies like hybrids and, despite poor infrastructure, I expect that the future market share of EVs...
There are several Indian players in electric two-wheelers and Tata is dominant in cheap electric cars. I am talking about the low-cost EV market. Tata is selling electric cars for as cheap as USD 10k, which is quite low if you consider the fact that India taxes cars very heavily and even the...
History is usually written by victors. Especially in historical times, military defeat often meant extinction of a nation and no one would be around to represent their point of view. There were no neutral academicians in the 4th century BC who had the resources to investigate battles where their...
There is no historical evidence that Alexander was defeated by Porus but there is plenty of evidence to the contrary. Next you will see because there are no surviving Persian accounts of Cyrus's defeat it means that Alexander didn't defeat the Persian Empire. Also, just because Pakistani sources...
China and India seem to be the major countries in the low-end EV game. Other countries are also looking at other technologies like hybrids plugin hybrids hydrogen etc to replace fossil fuels. So, it is not a surprise that China is dominant in this market, but it is not clear if EVs will emerge...
What is the big deal about this ? Many global companies, including the Chinese Lenovo, already manufacture laptops in India. This step is meant to encourage the likes of Apple and Samsung to do the same. If they don't want to do that they can always import under a licence.
All countries...
The geographical extent of the area associated with a name keeps changing over time. For example, the Russian state was first established in Kiev, but even many ardent Russian nationalists wouldn't claim Kiev to be part of Russia today.
The extent of "India" has varied over time and depends on...
Personal attacks
Do not attack any individual nor use any abusive language towards their ethnic / national / religious identity for any purpose.
Profanity
Please, try to be courteous as you would be in public. This is a public forum and there are real people behind the keyboard. Therefore...
The corps are there to defend the LoC. How many times have Iran and Afghanistan invaded Balochistan? How many nuclear armed hostile neighbours does Pakistan have in the east ? Most of Pakistani corps are in Kashmir and Punjab. Does that mean they are suppressing insurgenies there ?
What has that got to do with the level of atrocities committed?
Pakistan has openly supported militancy in Kashmir since its inception. Funds were openly raised from the Pakistani public and Pakistan operated militant training camps right across the border. Because the Kashmir cause had broad...
