India Coffee House

This is more suited for Indian Coffee House. Maybe @Nilgiri could move it there.

Chandrababu Naidu, while a part of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), may also be considered, though his lack of RSS backing could be a disadvantage.

Zero chance of that happening. These are different parties in the end. CB Naidu and TDP will never merge with BJP....much less make it anywhere close to BJP hierarchy to be promoted next. BJP will also never be junior partner in seats in NDA to another party for forseeable future at federal level....they dictate what NDA even is.

Additionally, leaders like M.K. Stalin of Tamil Nadu and Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal are potential candidates for national leadership roles, though Banerjee’s numerous political obstacles may hinder her chances.

Same thing, they are fundamentally different parties now. Especially DMK which has a strong anti-congress formation story to begin with if you know history of TN. Both DMK and ADMK have played coalition politics with both INC and BJP (once BJP became a sizeable federal force in the 90s) for a reason as they simply have no presence beyond TN and also no firm ideology (for rest of India) past what they exert within TN.

Mamata salted things heavily with INC when she split off (and has salted things since at various times, even recently) to form TMC, those wont be patched over. It needs deep look into West Bengal politics with its long communist govt tenure (and after effects of those cadres and vote captures/propensities and Mamata tactics with that compared to "larger" INC).

These two are regional parties unlike INC, so they will be junior alliance partners reliant on INC getting enough seats federally in larger Indian bulk in the first place.

Namaste. Which are the most active English language Indian defence forums out there? I checked out Defence Forum Bharat. It was OKish, but it wasn't active as the Turkish Defence Forum in here.

What are the best, HIGH QUALITY, I mean real high quality, not Alpha Defense level, Indian defense YouTube channels that produce videos in English? They should provide real depth on the topics, not just Wikipedia-level knowledge, and feature videos produced by real experts, not 20-year-olds.

Bharat rakshak is a good forum for checking out indian defence related stuff.

@Nilgiri did you notice this trend of ThePrint increasingly toeing the mainstream godi media narrative? It is not just about BD matter, I notice a broader trend for a year or so. This is sad.

Only TheWire is left now.
