Veg/non-veg kerfuffle is inverse Hanlon at play. Guys w/bees in their bonnets abt "pure" are the type who dont discern between Makaibari first flush and Taj Mahal tea mixes😎.

Pure veg means, no meat. What's so difficult to comprehend? If you exclude onion and garlic that becomes Satvik. one above pure wool to pure lambswool, or indeed pure Cashmere. Or if you prefer the difference between Salmon Roe and Caspian Beluga.

The ans is but obviously no. Difference is 4tr vs 30tr. But the good news is, only a few can realistically emigrate, the number going down w/anti-immigration sentiments everywhere. .

Myth👇. India's per-capita, in the 1700s, was half of European levels. Aggregate GDP was higher becoz of higher population. Enduring can on mughals is how India stagnated while Europe shot up thks to industrial revolution. .

India’s opposition will talk how India was isolated during OP Sindoor and will ask for proof of attacks , But will not talk about how isolated Pakistan is and how much damage was inflicted by Indian armed forces on Pakistan. Opposition cry about failed diplomacy but stay silent.

6 more Rafale + 3 F35 = $70-80bn = 60-70% of IAF's capex budget over the next 10 yrs, assuming 10% growth. Mungeri Lal dreams were less audacious.

Even if this👇 is true (vv doubtful Xavi will come down to India's level), its good to have not broken the bank. Indian footballers are pathetic quality, no elite coach can mould them into World Cup level. Need better quality raw material first. .

All those who speak Bengali are not Bangladeshi. You cannot detain all Bengali speakers on suspicion of being Bangladeshi. To detain someone on suspicion of being a foreigner, you need an order from a tribunal. You cannot just round up people like cattle, just because the home.

During the Cold War, the western mainstream + Right made common cause w/islamists, esp in Af. Perhaps as a make-whole for its support to Israel. The western Left chafed at that. Today, the Left is a useful idiot footsoldier for global islamism;) Serves them right!.

Zohran Mamdani is obviously NOT a jihadist, and using such a charged term to describe him is both inaccurate and counterproductive. But the NYC mayoral candidate does represent a worrying de facto “red-green” alliance between socialists and Islamists. I wrote about it here:.

IAF all set to acquire 3 squadrons of stealth fighters to maintain edge over adversaries. US F-35A Block 4 is the frontrunner. Only issue is IAF is demanding AIM-260 JATM to maintain edge against J-35 and PL-17/21 combo.

The Mig21 crash beancount is the stupidest stat trotted out. IAF inducted 1200+ Mig21 - 400 crashed. IAF inducted 50-60 M2k - 13 have crashed till now. Similar ballpark? Yes - lots of other variables shd come in too (flying hrs, MTBF etc) - precisely why the beancount is stupid. .

As this article by @manupubby and many other eulogies get written for the #mig21 let us in tribute to this legendary aircraft also do some soul searching. As the @iafmcc finally retires the MiG-21 in September 2025, after 62 years in service, we must ask: why did it stay so.
