I think one important aspect would be to ensure that battle preparedness is ensured at all times. One of the most disturbing aspects in UPA 2 tenure was government dragging its feet on almost all issues. Some of critical inventories for the forces have dwindles to dangerously low levels and new...
Modi has come to power with a promise of growth and stability. & remember back in 1999, AB Vajpayee (from BJP) was the first PM to come to pakistan with Lahore Delhi Bus. BJP in center doesn't necessarily mean rise in tension, on the contrary the relations may improve between the nations.
IMHO congress lost much before general elections when arrogance of power and an crazy ambition to project its VP as its face disconnected the party from ground realities. I don't have data right now, but a poll on NDTV yesterday indicated more youth have voted for Modi that a certain 40+ year...
A popular slogan of the BJP campaign was AB KI BAAR MODI SARKAAR translated THIS TIME MODI GOVERNMENT. arp2014 has used a MODIfied (no puns intended :p:) to use the slogan BAN GAYI MODI SARKAR translated MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Now is the moment to savor. As Amit Shah remarked, Congress couldn't open its account in 7 states. The best part of this victory (which makes it even sweeter) is the fact that that the composition laves little room for allies or opposition to blackmail/ arm twist government. With this...
IAF has been voicing its concern for so long now.
Isn't it a shame that a demand which was raised way back in 2000-01 (for Mirage 2000), even after seeing 2 govt changes (& 3rd one soon) is till to be fulfilled. Agreed that big bucks are involved & such decisions take a while, but why can't GoI...

Friends here are some diagrams to understand the various loco classes being used in India. All these are drawn by me and i'll post more if you ask for.
Further you can get more info from this facebook link
That actually is the trend through out the world. As far as electric locos are concerned two giants Siemens and Alsthom are the ones who have developed next generation machines and these owing to the fact that they have quite a bit of flexibility in terms of adaptation to supply voltages (OHE)...
WDG 5 as per my info is still under RDSO trials. The loco is essentially SD80MAC and hence should be successful. however as of now we will keep on seeing 4,500 HP versions of WDG 4 and WDP 4Ds only.
MMS at best was a smoke screen used by UPA (particularly UPA 2) to hide what was going on in the name of stable government and appeasement of coalition partners. Don't know if we will ever get to know the true scale of corruption and the damage it caused to nation, but rest assured this govt...
