Useless one liners again.

Re-writing history has its limits. It's a disease in India nowadays in Shivsena and Baj-rangi circles. All achievements in history are now 'Indian achievements'. Whole teams of Indians go to Wikipedia and change facts en-masse. It is bordering on the ridiculous.

I have no reason to believe that scientists in the US would lie...

Unless you have strong proof and sources - you are the one pushing lies.

@Nilgiri Just as I expected,he is in denial...

World bank data on Bangladesh is not updated.There is no way that there is still 43 percent people in Bangladesh live on below 1.25 dollar ppp per day. Even Nepal which have only 700 usd per capita have only 23 percent poverty rate at 1.25 usd ppp. I don't know why World Bank didn't update Bangladesh's figure. This institution are slow on Bangladesh on many indicators, not only in this case.

They are generally slow with India too. Generally when a country is bigger than 100 million people they are somewhat slow.

Do you have any faster (but international/neutral) sources?

Interestingly this institution also showing Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reduced the poverty rate most among the south Asian countries.

The differences are marginal and the periods are from different ranges.

It is definitely concerning that Bangladesh hunger reduction (in world hunger index) is showing some disturbing signs of stalling especially at under 5 year old undernourishment.

I find IMF and UN data comparatively more reliable than World Bank. World Bank and CIA Factbook are untrustworthy relative to IMF and UN data. Although not in 100 percent cases.

Let us look at the author of the American article:

Gary Milhollin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You telling me this guy has no vested interests and is completely neutral?

He's a law professor for god's sake and seems to make connections with glee without paying attention to some serious discrepancies between the two systems.

Mind you it might not be totally his fault since at the time of publishing (1989), little was known to the outside world about the SLV other than its basic outline....which may have been why he is saying its a purely Scout clone.

The other author of the article that GSLVmk3 posted was by "DR MATT THUNDYIL"

Gastech Centres of Technical Excellence (CoTEs) Seminars I assume.

He certainly has a much better working technical knowledge of the engineering involved and why even visually minor differences amount to something significant.

Besides if you are telling us that you would rather believe the US scientists...

here ya go:

Werner Von Braun: "If you want to do anything in rocketry, do it by yourself. SLV is a genuine Indian design."

You have any reason to believe that US transferred the blueprints of a potential ICBM to its cold war foe & soviet ally - India ?

IMF doesn't measure poverty directly. They are more concerned with GDP and growth and other macro-economic indicators. Check for yourself at:

World Economic Outlook Database April 2015

As for UN poverty rate figures, it seems World Bank just uses the UN figures:

unstats | Millennium Indicators

Under $1.25 PPP

India: 23.6%

Bangladesh: 43.3%

In UN figure it is shown that in 2009, poverty rate in India is 32.7 percent and in 2011 only 23.6 percent.Do you think it is possible to reduce poverty on that scale in only 2 years period?

Laser ring gyros are really not that hard to develop. India has developed an implosion plutonium device in the 70s, the alignment and fabrication of which are much higher difficulty than that of a basic ring laser gyro. The only difficult part is miniaturising the gyro especially the laser source (during the time period we are talking about)....which is why India opted for a proven American system for a compact version for LCA use given space and weight are at a much higher premium compared to a large rocket which is launched once.

In UN figure it is shown that in 2009, poverty rate in India is 32.7 percent and in 2011 only 23.6 percent.Do you think it is possible to reduce poverty on that scale in only 2 years period?

It comes to about 4.6% drop per year.

China between 1993 and 1996 similarly had about 5.8% drop per year.

Certainly not impossible.

At that rate India should have 0 poverty by now.

 

[Nilgiri]

At that rate India should have 0 poverty by now.

Continuing the rate in perpetuity is another question. It is like a 1/x or inverse zeta cdf (or zipf).

You will notice that China slowed off almost immediately after this peak drop rate. Vietnam is another example between 2002 - 2006...and then after it slows.

Basically these large drops happen and then slow down as it becomes more difficult....like a plane might do a sudden drop but it has to always land gently.

How long India keeps it going we will see as the data is updated in future. My estimate is it might only drop 2 or 3 percent at most from here on out for a few years and then 1 percent drop per year.

You guys were practically the same country few decades back, dont see a reason of fighting and arguing like kids specially on development when both of your countries are doing great.

 

[gslv mk3]

. I remember the fuel especially was optimized regarding what was available in India at the time.

SLV 3 program benefited from ISRO's sounding rocket program.What's particularly interesting is the development of new binders to substitute HTPB - to make Indian Space program sanction-proof .ISRO polyol,is a testimony to all that R&D .

All Bangladeshi brothers ignore this Indians even if they comment on something good or bad
Just don't argue with them anymore!
Let this wild animals run around,let them argue no matter how much they want....

You see only what your controlled media show in your country? See what happens when Freedom is given to media. Real news come out in public.

You may never eat street food in China again after watching this video - The Washington Post
