Greatly enjoyed reading a lot of the last few pages. I would like to add an additional possibility of aural transmission of various significant rivers (esp if they pertained to later battles, large ritual sacrifices or some other notable event) as part of an earlier bunch of compositions...

Hope you read Joe's reply above. It gives lot of useful context to the larger picture. I will add a few specific answers from my end to try comes at it from another angle. How representative this group of people is? ...well 50/50 but that is a catch 22 situation at some point you need to...

Pity the video calls itself that title in somewhat clickbait way (the "gains" from covid etc), because actually most of the content is larger contextual topic than that. The survey can be found here: https://www.indiabudget.gov.in/economicsurvey/ The HF indicator summary at the start...

Folks need to consider just how deficit (and stretched) IAF will be this decade in combat airframes. Neither will IAF have anywhere close to an adequate number of AWACS either. Hence there is need to optimise every single airframe (that we have and will have) with diverse swing roles as...

Yup swift as the scaled testbed will have to be fully proven till they start on Ghatak I would imagine.

@Jackdaws @Paro @Indos @crixus @Rajaraja Chola et al. When you have some time these 30 minutes are well spent watching this..... as Indian economy context, current and future are summarised quite eloquently (with strong evidence) by this gentleman. It summarises many hours and days of reading...

You have fairly good read on Pakistan's history. However Zia's admin did not happen overnight, there was a ticking time bomb effect prior to it. Some salient parts chronologically: 1) Objective resolution (w.r.t constitution) that was passed in the way it was (against much dissent by...

Avoid starting new thread for twitter based unofficial content etc. Use existing archive. New threads need an official news article etc.

Archiving completed to Early January 2022. February greetings to all members.

Yes the lyric that stands out most to me is "is liye suno ye kahani". More than any other descriptor....India is a story...of many stories. It is with heavy heart we say farewell to Lataji who has accompanied us for her part in it...in that indescribable way she did with her voice.

Seems we have talked about this before heh.... Indeed the "why" almost singularly originates from their patrician class being unable to directly deal any defeat+revenge to Japan and IJA/IJN. The whole resolution of that came only by the foreigner's action on Japan. Specifically how they...

@HTurk any follow up or further questions you have? Before I bring old friend here to give his 2 cents on it maybe.

Yes one look at world map of US bases locations and also other countries between them that can be asked/pressured to allow onshored US logistical chain says the story easily. This is massive significant strategic advantage US enjoys on world theatre.

You have mentioned this before, have you got a source for this?

Issue is the cost of mobilisation...the mobilisation economic cost might be what Russia is trying to do. Ukraine with its allies must try plan an optimal long term strategy of maximum damage on any Russian attack and also Russian economy. It might not involve a counter-mobilisation at this...

loans* Pakistan has added PRC as big part of its circular loan issue. They are not able to increase their savings (and thus investment) level.

Good move. Kudos to govt on this front. Pranab dada did damage to IN economy under UPA by that silly stunt. If you look at the prospective revenue amounts involved (compared to investment choking that would arise), it didnt make sense even with basic CBA....unless you really wanted to claw...
