    India Coffee House

    Will have to read your posts (and everyone elses) in more measured way when I have bit more time. But this one strikes close to me...I am reminded of a dear (long departed and much missed) elder family member of mine who faced quite some shocking treatment from some Christian...

    India Coffee House

    No permission needed from my end haha....and dont worry about the absences we all need and take as required. This is a coffee house....it is meant to be that way....we come and go and have a chat....long or short as required.

    India Coffee House

    w.r.t developing the China arc I plan... In addition to real life time pressures.....this endeavour (during the last 3 times I tried to make real headway) takes on some specially poignant contours that I need to be in somewhat better frame of mind for (the world just can't catch a break...

    India Coffee House

    I am very atypical as I spent most of my formative childhood and youth growing up in Hong Kong and then Singapore. It has played some high degree in making me quite aware of minority issues more broadly....as I was quite an extremely visible but rare minority in Hong Kong especially (at that...

    Historical Indus Valley Civilization Research papers and Theories.

    Yes, somewhat subconciously derived omission on my end....as I consider them more or less the most direct conveyors/descendants (at the time) of the yamnaya themselves. The Germanics, Celts, Greeks, Italics and so on....are more indicative of the effect of more distant seeding Though things...

    India HAL Tejas Program

    Combat Squadron strength needs to double from current level before we have good core of dedicated a/c like that. Its make-do approach while we get there. Russians and Chinese also make-do with their airframes though they have larger squadron numbers. I really don't put flanker EW variants as...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    India Coffee House

    It is quite different nature and scope...at least that is what I have been told by lot of North Indians. The legacy of stuff weighs down lot of minds that is true....especially idle and not-well occupied minds. UP and Bihar sorely needed someone like Kamaraj to get their education basis at...

    Historical Indus Valley Civilization Research papers and Theories.

    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...

    India HAL Tejas Program

    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...
