    India Economy + Infra Archive

    India Economy + Infra Archive

    So how are we supposed to fix that without increasing public spending? How do we increase public spending without increasing tax base? How do we increase tax base if the goods & services produced in country don't increase?

    India Quad Archive

    In my opinion, he's the one who scuttled the first Quad and chose to stand with China, But more recently, he has made a 180-degree turn on his policy and has quickly become one of Australia's most prominent 'China hawks'. Just saying...I think this is a guy who loves to sail with the wind.

    India Navy Aircraft Carriers

    3rd carrier is required, but they haven't frozen the requirements for that ship yet. *and then stop* - its not possible to stop because Vikramaditya will retire by 2040, only a few years after IAC-2 is commissioned, and IN still requires a 3-carrier fleet. Something like IAC-3 will have to be...

    Offer aid, of course. We have everything to gain & little to lose, regardless of whether they take it or not.

    India India - Pakistan Relations

    Providing aid (either side) is more about appearing to 3rd parties as the innocent victim who never instigates conflict and as being ever ready for peaceful cooperation and that the other side is solely responsible for the aggressive designs & transgressions that are creating the rift.

    India Navy Aircraft Carriers

    The one on right is most probably the P75A/SSN but the one on left appears to be just Arihant, not S-5.
