Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
For over three decades, AR Rahman has been a cultural ambassador of Indian pluralism. And yet, in today’s climate, that legacy seems disturbingly fragile.
Instead of buying more Mirages outright in early 2000s, the requirement was tweaked in favour of a medium-weight, multi-role fighter with Mirage-like performance.
Pakistan not only has zero chance of catching up with India in most areas, but will inevitably see the gap rising. Its leaders will offer its people the same snake oil in different bottles.
Deep state is really deep. Its so deep and intertwined in knots and so long, no one in US administration nor the CIA has a clue who or how it is run. Or even why a certain agenda. No one knows where the head is, not its tail. If India has understood how Pakistan foreign policy has been dictated by the ISI, it has no idea of the US deep state. Even NATO countries and allies of US are perturbed about the depth and reach of the deep state. USAID, UN WHO, UNESCO, REDCROSS, WB, UNHRC, you name it and they have all been penetrated and manipulated to do their bidding. Regime change is the ultimate goal and every nasty trick is at the finger tips of this deep state. Almost all of the tricks executed have had negative consequences to USA. But there is no stopping this gigantic machine.. Today’s USA would have probably been more developed domestically with its people more happier if the deep state hadn’t manipulated and altered this world. Indian policy makers to should listen to men like Geoffrey Sachs. He clearly explains how the US’s Russia and China policy is controlled and dictated by the deep state. He has discussed how they manipulated the US and British govt, media to beleive the WMD theory in Iraq, how simple it is for them to regime change and completely alter the course of a nations future. Its all there in the open today. India need a necessary ‘Evil’. This ‘Evil’ is its own version of the deep sate This is necessary not just for India to be a superpower, but to to protect and self preserve. Its all fine to call ourselves ‘Natural allies’ but let us verify before we trust. France and Germany have learnt it. India needs to. as well.
BJP is doing right..I hope Congress also need to join BJP. Relationship or biggest partner of century is one thing but india has others concern too. They are constantly targeting modi and indian investment in foreign see Adani case. They are supporting pannu a terrorist.. so it’s time for india to speak in there own language. Trade ties millitary tries or whatever is one thing and if you want to damage india reputation now india will not wait for response
BJP Is right to hit back at the US. And the Govt played it smart, getting the party to hit out and they can safely claim that there is nothing official about.
It is quite clear that the US govt is complicit and their actions are deliberate to pin modi down. There are perhaps rogue loony left elements in State Dept which act on their own and there is enough precedence of this.
Remember during Obamas time, the CIA has bugged Angela Merkels phone. If they can do then there act against india is also possible
We seem to be placing a bet that being abrasive with an outgoing administration will win us brownie points with the Trump administration. America’s abiding interests do not flip so much every four years, even granted President Trump’s personality. What does one make of his invitation to President Xi to attend his inauguration function. Earlier, the request to China to help resolve the Ukraine crisis. There should be a sense of realism about how much we matter in America’s scheme of things and how much it should matter in ours. Finally, it is becoming very difficult now to untangle India’s domestic politics from our foreign policy.
BJP lives in a state of perpetual confusion when it comes to foreign policy. They are the fence sitters who talk of dharma in politics but forget all dharma in foreign policy.
News trader couptaji , as usual is afraid to stop polishing the shoes of his gora masters with his tongue. If william clark was furious on Indian PM in yor presence, you should have objected, there and then. But you chose to lick his shoes. Shame on you

No wonder indians spit on news traders
SG seems to get pain in all the wrong places.
