The crisis also puts DGCA’s vacancies in the eye of the storm. Naidu told the Rajya Sabha in July this year that 190 out of 410 DGCA vacancies would be filled this year.
Donald Trump, who has nurtured the MAGA movement for the last decade, has been perceived to have lost control over the movement, particularly with the release of Epstein’s records.
The stage is set for the Democrats’ internal reckoning as the Republican Party, led by Trump, processes its losses and turns its eyes toward the midterms next year.
Rahul’s prolonged absence from Bihar, along with the bloc’s delayed decision to name Tejashwi as CM candidate, finally gave the RJD leader the space to step onto the electoral turf with confidence.
In recent years, Tejashwi has worked to broaden his social base by giving more tickets and organisational posts to non-Yadav communities such as Kurmis, Kushwahas, and Koeris.
Visually, there is no difference between green crackers and normal crackers. The police or any agency will not be able to tell the difference making regulation a difficult task.
India’s pharmaceutical sector is valued at $50 billion. It has built its reputation on affordability and accessibility. The deaths in Chhindwara tell a different story.
After exuberance, India must now not only take difficult and costly steps toward industrialisation, but also convert growth into geo-economic leverage and military modernisation.
WEF report flags growing erosion of multilateralism, long considered stabilising force. 'Declining trust, heightened protectionism are threatening trade, investment.'
Pakistan lacks capacity to deliver aircraft at pace suggested by its claimed contracts as it depends on China for avionics, electronic warfare, weapons, and on Russia for engines.
UK, EFTA already in the bag and EU on the way, many members of RCEP except China signed up, and even restrictions on China being lifted, India has changed its mind on trade.
My understanding, as a lay person, is that this satellite broadband will be delivered to remote areas, where optic fibre or normal wireless broadband do not reach. Not a lucrative market in the conventional sense. Our broadband prices, also reflected in the Average Revenue per User, are amongst the lowest in the world. 2. As a principle, one welcomes the world’s top firms being invited in. That is good for both the economy and ordinary consumers.
Letting Starlink in is a security threat. But under the current circumstances this has to be managed. But the question I have for the Indian telecom companies. Why are you happy doing business and competing only in India. Go to Europe and America and take on the local players there???
What happened to Airtel’s Oneweb program?
Oneweb was pitched as a competitor to Starlink. In fact, Oneweb predates Starlink and was initially being promoted by Softbank.
These Indian companies are just not interested in investing in research and development. All they do is sign agreements with foreign companies. Indigenous development of technology is an alien concept for them.
The telecom 2G spectrum scam raised by CAG of that time was the major cause why the UPA-II government was ousted. But note that auction was diligently followed then. Now the current BJP stopped using auction and can give the spectrum to anybody they feel right. Our sold-out media kept mum. Now that GOI decided to give it Star Link, spineless media has nothing to do except seeing a big news in India’s top two telecom companies playing slaves to Star Link. The PM has made everything about as his personal ego. So for his “dear friend Trump” Modi is hell bent to be on his good side. So Modi finds no issue in selling India’s communications to Star Link without thinking about National Security. Ukraine is completely dependent on Star Link and when Trump got angry with Zelensky, Musk stopped Star Link services which disabled Ukrainian military to a large extent. God help India.
