    School lunch at a Japanese elementary school

    I remember binge watching Japanology series some years back (as I was doing some personal due diligence for upcoming visit to Japan I had back then)....and they also had one episode focused on Japan school lunch and the whole ethos/context behind it. Let me see if I can find it....here it is...

    Masterful Morgan leads England to victory in record chase against Pakistan

    I wouldn't bother too much, its T-20. But then again Pakistan Test performance was not good either. It starts in the deteoriation in Pakistan system for producing the talent at young age and select the best from those later. It was not worked upon sufficiently to maintain its earlier calibre...

    Indian Muslims and (Indian) Liberals are trapped in a toxic relationship

    Like I get where you are coming from.... ...but receiving (and asserting identity upon past ones) these enlightened folk didnt stop this intelligentsia from imparting some basic common sense to yahya, tikka, bhutto and all their types....who's own enlightened actions saw a permanent loss of...

    Indian Muslims and (Indian) Liberals are trapped in a toxic relationship

    Morarji, VP and Atal have something to say about this. I agree with you, the author has made a good consumption piece by neatly doing the old black/white contrast for everything....whereas grey nuance is really a defining feature of India. I'd have to agree that a lot more honesty is required...

    India Navy SSK Submarines

    OK I dug up to find out what I was confusing....the DRDO AIP will be the one retrofitting the scorpenes when they are overhauled supposedly. Don't know if any French cooperation/consultancy was involved in that etc.

    India Navy SSK Submarines

    Disappointing DRDO AIP didn't make the grade for this project as originally intended, but at least they stopped that program early rather than linger it as usual to soak up and create paper volumes and noise. The 6 scorpenes will also be retrofitted by the French AIP offered for it, during...

    Another Perspective to The Battle of Karbala

    This is interesting, is this part of reason there was a switch from Sunni to Shia in Persia during Safavids?...because it more easily aligned with say Persian political goals and maybe ambitions....to have this basis of bulwarkism concept to solidify a nationalist character more easily within...

    Another Perspective to The Battle of Karbala

    All I know is this the set of events (incl Ali's end, father of Husayn) that caused the schism between Sunni and Shia in Islam. I have not read much past that...other than knowing it holds a great significance in the religion....since these events of the Rashidun + ummayad + 2 strifes/fitnas...

    India India - China Relations

    Modi got it in his head that China (Xi) could be addressed with peace/cooperation to improve the relationship etc...and over time the border issue and other issues of contention solved like some kind of domino chain over time etc. Joining SCO was natural extension of the summits Xi and Modi...
