Collective demonisation is bad. I have gotten leered at (and worse) as Tamil....on the faulty basis that LTTE = all Tamils. Both by fellow Indians and by foreigners....sometimes by accident, but other times purposefully. So doing such for anyone else rankles me quickly than it otherwise...

Npte: Haridwar hate speech threads merged. Please keep all further news and discussion about it here. With proper context of (esp Haugen's testimony in capitol hill), these "whistleblowers" are part of the problem (and an especially rotten one), not the solution. They are fundamentally...

RIP, Om Shanti to our perished sailors.

India Army Tuesday rescued 30 civilians stuck in heavy snow after twin avalanches hit Tanghdar in north Kashmir. According to a tweet posted by the Chinar Corps, avalanche rescue teams along with GREF had also retrieved 12 vehicles stuck on Chowkibal-Tangdhar road on the night of 17-18 Jan 2022...

History is to study and understand. It is not to live and try recreate to re-experience or re-visit on whomever you feel it should around you. Sins of the father die with him....in each and every instance. Every benefit of doubt + good faith to his descendants should be given by default...

Recently, The despicable shithead (in the OP post) got arrested and awaiting prosecution in jail: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/hindu-monk-jailed-calling-genocide-muslims-82304783

It won't turn into anything like a civil war. Some cretins (and their underlings) are getting emboldened and pushing buttons that were denied them before....because of overton window shift by current political administration (and large part of its formative emotional basis). It is most...

Well indian assemblers generally dont do 100% end-end all inhouse etc....its not cost effective for complex systems (which still have "easier" stuff to do within them that is best given to smaller guy who can focus on that). i.e Things are divvied out into more optimised ecosystem and contacts...

Some details from the organisation investigating this particular matter:

Yah but from what I;ve seen so far AMCA is somewhat physically smaller than TFX in the dev so far. AMCA if it proceeds along this dev trajectory to when its frozen....clearly will have main bay space for 4 BVR, no doubt. I like AMCA approach for Indian specific theatre needs....anything which...

It not surprising as India has persevered with the strategic cooperation with Israel. This means as time progresses, things branch out more laterally (past just vertical) to all kind of supplier and "mini"-development collaboration. In this case the initiation point was harpy drone acquisition...

Yah that article is why I tagged you here to show what I mean about the PLI....i.e incentives to scale the ecosystem past the final assembly stage. https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/apple-samsung-give-5-bn-thrust-to-india-s-local-manufacturing-scheme-122011801205_1.html The...

They actually called it "sky net" too? @Paro @Jackdaws @AlphaMike et al. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-19/china-operations-to-force-fugitives-back/100747234 A human rights organisation says China is abducting and intimidating political dissidents and their families living overseas in...

Staggering incentive relative to value addition @Saithan : https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-products/electronics/apple-samsung-may-make-handsets-worth-5-billion-in-fy22/articleshow/88962202.cms

J-20 has 4 (main bay) + another 2 (one on each side in the rotation dolley thing they have there in that side volume) = 6 "internal" The extra 2 in side are IIRC shorter range AAM. But there is talk that J-20 can stagger 6 in the main bay if they incorporate another mechanism for it. so 6 + 2...

India is one of only a handful of nations that have sent probes to the moon and Mars. But the most impressive part of its space program is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike other government space organizations, India's agency is extremely efficient, with the lowest cost-per-kilogram in the...

Any updates on this visit? Some defence deal announcements were made as expected in any case.

TR govt should rationalise tariffs and incentives relative to the value-addition. Right now lot of assembly-heavy investments have just about 10% value addition done (at best).... So 90% of the value (IP, PCB, component fab, battery etc) is offshored and thats a big deal (you end up becoming...

I hope to see the PLI + MSME (and other support to MSME finally being given by govt esp after 2020 covid wrecking ball) channel some degree to address this now. Its long overdue.....the use of india's market cap to leverage into better investment for the bulk of labour at hand.
