Nope, shipping desalined water across to Rajasthan would be way too costly. Reclaiming the arid desert lands is a very costly and time consuming affair but there are many other things that India can do - starting with coastal mangrove restoration projects and reforestation in places which...

Exactly. Although she meant it as a compliment, I don't particularly like bracketing Modi with Trump together. And for multiple reasons.

Yup, they already did and lost their leverage over India for nothing in return. China used all their might to cockblock resolutions against terrorists just based on some very flimsy technical grounds. India expected that China, as a responsible state, would fight terror and support us in our...

And what exactly did China gain by Veto-ing resolutions against known Pakistani terrorists like HS and MA in the UN? Mind you - it was NOT as if India dragged HH Dalai Lama to Tawang in chains just to provoke China. If China wants to take umbrage at every thing an Indian guest (HH Dalai Lama)...

Wonder if it is just a face saving measure to help keep the AAP flock together or they seriously believe the sh*t that comes out of their leader's mouth. Either way, I think it will only help Modi in the next elections - since these parties are busy blaming the EVM's instead of introspecting...

Such a welcome change in BJP's attitude from the days of meek AB Vajpayee. Not only did they steal the government in Goa but also thumb their noses at Congress.

Agreed, but it is one thing to have a clean personal integrity or to have no material interests. It is quite another to perform well. People like Manmohan Singh and AK Antony were personally (allegedly) incorruptible and clean. But look at the mess they presided over and MMS even turned blind...

First #AwardWapsi, now #FoodWapsi? Lol. Does it mean that the zoos were purchasing meat from illegal slaughterhouses earlier? India must be the only country where enforcing existing rules for illegal slaughterhouses gets the seculars (including the Pakistani 'secular' Islamists) so riled up...

I so desperately want him to perform above par and prove his critics and detractors (which includes myself) wrong. If he indeed performs well in UP, not only will the UP return 70+ seats for BJP in 2019, but also destroy the whole stigma attached to appointing Sadhus as heads of states/governments!

Calling a community with MORE THAN 20% (I think the numbers are actually much higher) of the population a minority is a joke - especially when there are real minorities like Parsis, Jains and Sikhs. Even bigger joke is when they claim minority benefits even in states where they have more than...

There goes Congress foot-soldiers' paycheck!

Besides, Reservation for Dalits is constitutionally mandated for historical reasons whereas the sops being offered to Muslims now is purely appeasement politics.

NOBODY claimed that EVM as a machine is unhackable! Lack of Physical Access and sheer numbers of machines to tamper with. Aren't these the very reasons that render the EVM's unhackable in any effective manner? If there is one thing that India does much better work than anywhere in the...

I am also all for rewarding Advani but I think he is going to be difficult to deal with if he is made President. He has been bitter and expressing dissent time and again, but atleast he could be ignored without much fuss. Also, the latest SC ruling on his role in Babri will only make it awkward...

Actually that aunty's video is an old one from Pakistan and those were the words for their PM. But very apt for AK as well.

You forgot to add AAP to the mix. Unless you intended to include them in the "others" list - based on their performance in these elections LOL.

Did he actually say that?!

I am actually not very optimistic of any further fall since I think the religious considerations might be playing their part in keeping the TFR high. This may well be the best they could do, if not any worse. One silver lining though is Waste Bengal - assuming the numbers to be accurate.

The statistics look good on paper but it means nothing as long as the most populous states of UP/Bihar/MP continue to outbreed the rest of India. We will keep going backwards. BTW, Bihar at 3.4 and UP at 3.1!!! Are you fcuking kidding me? What's wrong with these people? Even the rabid islamists...

Exactly my question! What is this "liberal" bs when we know we are talking about ultra-conservative Islamists and their apologists in the garb of saving 'secular ethos' of the country?
