Lol. This is the kind of fun I am talking about.

I am sorry what does his name say?

Why do you give your religion. This is an anonymous forum. Have fun with them.

What if I ask you :)

It is not speculation. Simple arithmetic and logic. No profit seeking entity will build and run the project by itself. GoI will be guarantor for the finances. That much is clear. The Japanese companies will only be responsible for the goods and technology they deliver for the project, not for...

You seriously want to compare Indian economy with Pakistan now? Read my posts above for why not or why to be careful in assessing it.

I wonder what they teach in the two year course?

Japanese won't build it. See the news report, they are limited to selling stuff and consultancy. The builder who takes up the project will be in waters soon unless the government does them some real good out of the line favors. The liability will be with GoI either directly or through...

Read my earlier posts. Discussed to death already.

How many of the millions travel between Mumbai and Ahmedabad? The cost mentioned is for one line. Via trickle down effect may be. This can be argued upon. There is a fundamental difference between telecommunication and HSR. Prior to mobile there was no alternative for real time mobile...

Then it sounds like you are asking India to build a pyramid to provide employment to workers and business to hotels. We are not in depression or even recession to resort to such measures. You also seem to agree that it is not a public infrastructure project, at least not in a normal sense where...

No you were trying to victimize Tamilnadu after the floods. I just said that is not the case. Our politicians are magicians of numbers when it comes to elections. It no way indicates a discrimination against TN. At least he made an honest announcement instead of the Bihar jumla package.

Population distribution matters only for urban and suburban transport. Bullet trains operate between two population centres. Same whether in US or in India. And if you consider that the US cost recovery would be in dollars as opposed to rupees in India, both have similar economics as well. Look...

Small correction. I will inject 15bil$ over 10 years. and we have to pay it back over 50 years, starting from 10th year as per usual terms. I hope the pilot succeeds. But I am skeptical given the skewed cost-benefit ratio especially given that this is not going to be used by common man at least...

We will see if any Japanese company will agree to BOT on the project. Then we can believe if it is profitable and that it is not our money. Besides the money will also be used for land acquisition, new rails and on-route infrastructure. I the existing railway lines are going to be used, then I...

Yeah sure buddy.

No public temples are not owned by the government. Same with mosques. The endowments department is just a trustee to the temples. You should read about why government took control of temples in the first place.

Here 'they' means we. If this thing is going to cost what a flight will cost, then we should also not expect a lakh people to travel on it. I am fine with public infrastructure projects getting constructed at breakeven or even a little less than break even, if millions are going to use it. But...

That means 7-10 years less of revenue collection! What does it matter India will be a 5 trillion economy by then. The loans are given in dollars not in rupees. The project does not pay for itself. It cannot, by a large margin. May be even more than 50% without any radical new ways to generate...

Your comparison has no principle behind it. No History does not demand justice. History just asks us to take lessons and not commit them again. I don't know whether I am being patriotic while saying what I said, but that was just making sense. All I hear is your dreams. You just have to...
