You do realise that all narratives on this page (including the one coming from the news article) are speculative? There aren't enough facts for either narrative, so believe what you have to, but don't bring sense and logic into this.

Maybe I haven't spent enough time, but all the Aussies I work with are very warm and friendly. However the Aussie hicks, the 'Bogans' are difficult to deal with. Most Australians are quite welcoming. Other Indians that I know of in Melbourne, also seem to have a favourable opinion of Australia...

What's wrong with the 'soil' in Oz?

I never said that, nevermind

Even if that were true, you are focusing on the outcome with an ever shifting goal post, I am talking about the hardships involved in the process. It is nice to be passionate as long as you can afford to. The highest cost is borne by the weakest in our nations, sadly they would never be here to...

Rape is a torture/domination instrument as well. It's despicable, that's the reason why it is easy to convert people in India, it opens up an escape route. The first people to convert to islam and christianity are often the so-called "low-castes". Your christian population is made up a lot of...

Good move! Treat a rising BD as a regional partner and increase cooperation. Will lead to a better management of issues relating to political mistrust.

We are so deep into our respective narratives as two nations that it is hard to specify what lead to what. All I know is that there are no evil/peaceful countries, there are just upswings and down turns in a nation's path to prosperity. Smart choices/compromises are a necessity to eventually...

So there are two narratives that come out of India as far as I know, the first one is that of the idiot Tik-tok masses, far removed from a realistic assessment of our own capabilities as a nation vis-a-vis the rest of the world, claiming to force a reshaping of India's boundaries to undo what...

That's what I have been wondering as well. Regardless of how well you plan inter-service coordination through tech, process and training, it will always be between two services and hence sub-optimally managed, when you compare it to the scenario where the actual beneficiaries of helos being...

It doesn't work the same way. Muslims can't eat pork but wouldn't mind others eating the animal, they wouldn't mind a pig getting slaughtered. Hindus love the animal (cow) and can't fathom the fact that they animal dies to satiate the appetite of other people. I would go with the muslims on this...

Yeah well I like reading your posts so take them seriously. Fair point, we all have our metrics and there are ebbs and flows in the growth trajectory of nations. Regards

Mate, it is a reputed competition. Promotion of STEM is a big challenge all over the world and the Chinese are killing it. We should give credit where it is due. In spite of the behaviour of the Chinese on this forum, I don't mind considering China a good benchmark to follow. So the Chinese...

He showed that NZ, Indian and Oz batsmen were plagued by nerves and not a bad batting surface. Positive attitude is such a huge determinant in sports! England deserve to win this cup more than anyone else.

I am aware of the content of your post here, but disagree on Sapta-Sindhavas being in Pakistan. In fact I haven't come across a single article that can accurately quote the extent of what Sapta-Sindhavas Not sure about what change you are referring to but my schooling covered the impact of...

Himachal Pradesh shows the effect of the influence of both Tibet and Punjab. Culturally as well as in ethnicity of the population. The hill tribes and the people in the northern parts are closer to Tibetans while the people of the plains are closer to Punjabis. I will try and find a percentage...

Pot calling the kettle black?

It is all about degrees. We can quantify the extent of overlap at some level, and then compare how much of an overlap we are looking at. The state of Punjab before being split up in the 60s had Himachal and Haryana as well. You are not taking West UP (Awadh/Oudh) and Delhi (which were mughal...

Pray tell where was Sanskrit 'formed'? See this is why it is so disingenuous of Pakistanis of wanting to claim selective heritage, do you claim that most Pakistanis have Hindu/vedic heritage? Plus the fact that there is no evidence that vedic sanskrit was written/spoken only in Pakistan...

Desh/Deshi is the pure form, Bengali people don't have 's' sound in their phonetics. So Sourav is called Shourav. All others in India use Desi instead. You are confused, the word when used as adjective or as a noun, has the same usage in India
