ISRO recently released (for world space week) a whole bunch of videos that may be of interest to some (can pick and choose what interests you)...regarding the space technology domain and some of the Indian context for it:

sub brief's personal take on it starts around the 9.45 mark: sub brief largely goes on same hunch I first had, its collision with underwater topgraphical feature at low speed (5 - 15 kts)...rather than any kind of other surface or submerged vessel. Combined with something in the submarines...

They are symptom of a larger problem. Crash and burn is not the solution as another one like it will pop up just the same. There is a whole elitist group in the west that live in ivory towers thinking their shit smells like flowers. They have convinced themselves of a lot of immoral...

Yah I am talking more about the larger society rather than economy. Every large country is pretty different case to another on it. GDP is overrated to me to begin with. Standard of living (and transparency and full accountability of that) matters much more....and that is a deeper society thing...

Well its in their hands now. It wont be some babu rubbing his hands at taxpayer money calling such shots.

https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/india-japan-maritime-exercise-arabian-sea-jimex-1862541-2021-10-08 India and Japan held its fifth edition of JIMEX (India-Japan Maritime Bilateral Exercise), that was conducted in the Arabian Sea from October 6 to 8 with focus on maritime security...

Is there any hint/source etc as to when a decision will be taken on this matter. i.e by year-end 2021....or it will stretch into 2022?

Missing just MKI:

Long overdue!: https://www.reuters.com/world/india/tata-wins-bid-take-over-troubled-state-run-air-india-2021-10-08/ Tata regains control of troubled Air India with $2.4 bln bid NEW DELHI, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Tata Sons will resume control of Air India after bidding $2.4 billion, including equity...

I partially agree and disagree. China is a very different case in many respects. The transition is not inevitable or guaranteed...and it will not take on the same hue and form as it has done in other parts of the world (these countries are far younger nation states than China, which is...

We tend to learn about details of provisions in these things much later. Yep I agree. There is also lot on the shipyard process side they can help with modernising and improving (especially in something so niche like submarines)...with eye on achieving next tier level of economy of scale. The...

Issue is soft power needs govt to be less of a monolith....since soft power inevitably needs a lot of "A vs B" stuff at deep level in society's debate to generate, sustain and capture people's attention truly. Will have to see how PRC manages that.

It is looking fairly robust as well....kumata post shows how as % of total production, it has doubled from 5 to 10% in 6 years or so recently etc. So another doubling to 20% (for production) in this decade should be feasible, we shall see. The %'s are even higher in installed capacity (since...

Maybe you overrated what the "sanctions" regime actually is. It very rarely can permeate to corporate arena (where profits are involved all around) especially in the non-high tech sector. Just ask China. They bulked up on all this stuff in 90s and 2000s....while tianenmen square sanctions (and...

I think this is just the early design phase so far, looking into Serco's activities. They have probably assembled a team of consultants and naval designers etc. If they prove their mettle in subsequent phases, i.e get an order somewhere (and work out all the production side etc with the...

Sure whatever.... Your words, not ours. Maybe PMIK can send a tweet with this song while he waiting for the call: Maybe wait till 2022?...or? @VCheng

Will be interesting to follow @Vergennes @Gessler @Gautam et al. Overall I feel the AUKUS-SSN development will help augment the Franco-Indian strategic partnership, and both sides should look to expand and develop it more...
