Mate, I really love your contributions, but don't you think you are sometimes simply flooding an important thread for India's economic new update thread with some really trivial stuff like this? How critical is this piece of news for India's economy?
I know I can ignore you and carry on but I...
I know, but I am just frustrated at the choice Biharis have made for themselves. Anywhere else, it would have been a no-brainer. That's why I find it hard to muster my sympathy for poverty and lawlessness in Bihar even though not all of them voted for it.
I want Biharis to enjoy full term of an...
All in all, essentially he is a thorough opportunist!
Then why do I see many of us here eagerly waiting for his ghar-wapsi? So that he can gain back door entry and stab NDA in the back?
Any person who chooses to side with a convicted corrupt and criminal like Lalu over his coalition partners...
This, here! :tup:
This move has all the signatures of Pakistan's own tried-and-tested MO, whereby they arrested a couple of inconsequential AQ leaders just before a fund collection charm-offensive in the Capitol Hill - a throwback to Musharraf's era. Only this is intended to get in the good...
"Outstanding example of conflict resolution" my foot!
The only reason that IWT has held up despite gravest provocations and wars is because the ENTIRE ONUS of abiding by the treaty lies with India while Pakistan is a mere beneficiary of the treaty.
The true test of this treaty would have been...
Yep, I am. But I have problem when you exclude him from the "thousand opportunists".
He is as much an opportunist as the politician next to him. He was also a coward who just kept his mouth shut when the nation was being plundered right under his nose and right under his supervision and right...
I guess the damage has already been done. The MSM/Kejriwal/RG have all tom-tommed about how Modi not only allowed Mallya to escape with money but also wrote off his loans.
What bothers me is the total silence on part of Modi who hasn't done anything significant to silence them.
Besides, why...
The "learned man" oversaw the biggest plunder of national wealth in India's history including in HIS OWN ministry. He didn't open his mouth condemning it, let alone taking responsibility for his own incompetence and lack of oversight combined with lack of capability to lead.
Now that there are...
I so wish for these buses to replace all the gas-guzzlers and smoke spewers in all our cities!
Would make for much cleaner air and also for smoother rides.
I only corrected you on the facts. Overworked doctors, which is what the whole discussion is about, is nothing specific to China or Japan. I bet our doctors, knowing somebody from very close quarters, are equally overworked if not worse.
I agree that our people need to work on their work...
Exactly. I have close relatives that are studying to be neurosurgeons that don't come home for days at end, all the time running from one surgery to another. I wouldn't have believed that somebody can work for days without sleep if I hadn't seen it for myself.
Although the doctor here needs to...
Aren't you guys, both Pakistanis and Indians, reading too much into what's essentially a mere symbolic event?
India has been inviting heads of states from world over. And the UAE reciprocated the honor by illuminating Indian flag for an evening. I would believe it all only once there is...
Reading too much from a phone call. Too early to predict Trump's overtures towards India based on just a phone call.
But I think all of us stand to benefit if US and Russia decide to work together on important issues.
I don't follow UP that closely, but I think this might be true.
Can't help but think that BJP have squandered their chances. They had 2.5 years to devise a strategy to win the biggest state of them all, one that could have helped bring them back to power in 2019. Well, its too late for that...
I see no such need to compare ourselves with Chinese growth rate. Not only is it not necessary, our system doesn't allow for such a rapid growth. I would be happy if India can take care of its population comfortably in terms of education and other Human Development Indicators - especially the...
Exactly! China will happily proliferate the technology, the 'material', the delivery vehicles including the fcuking all-terrain vehicles to carry the missiles around, but India shouldn't even have friendly relations with countries like Mongolia or sell missiles to countries like Vietnam...
Same answer to both. It isn't and hasn't been India's choice for a long time.
With China, it is China that doesn't want to settle the borders. You know the status quo suiting the bigger power and no urgency to settle a border that is MAINLY going to benefit India more than Chinese themselves...
