    What do you think about our Foreign Minister

    Trying to get favorable coverage in western media is a tall order. All EAMs will fail this test. For me, it was good enough when Vance said that they are not interested in intervention. It was a tacit acknowledgement of the fact that south asia is India's backyard. I couldn't have asked for...

    What do you think about our Foreign Minister

    You are going to get a push back (esp from the west) whenever you change the status quo. The real question is, how things end up in the long run. 1971 was quite bad, but everyone accepted India's position in the end. Same for the nuclear explosions. Will everyone accept India's position on JK...

    What do you think about our Foreign Minister

    Internal was the easy part. The fact that pakistan's friends didn't make it a big deal indicates some very sophisticated back end diplomacy.

    What do you think about our Foreign Minister

    How do you rate his handling of 370 revocation? Was it not big enough a problem? Why do you think so? Tharoor lives in the colonial Anglo-centric world. He still wastes time litigating stale grievances. Besides, we don't know what dirt his party bosses (i.e. secret services) have on him. His...

    Pakistan propaganda, lies. Please be active on social media

    Some leisure reading (mostly grudging acknowledgement of India's ability): From Small Wars Journal https://smallwarsjournal.com/2025/05/22/indias-wake-up-call-why-us-defense-reform-must-match-the-speed-of-modern-war/ From The Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies...

    Pakistan propaganda, lies. Please be active on social media

    Chances are she was an unwitting s.x worker. In her head she was a Mata Hari but in reality she was a Pamela Bordes being sent as a bribe to officials in different countries.

    Pakistan propaganda, lies. Please be active on social media

    They needn't be. I will not give my enemy the satisfaction of a confirmed kill. It is quite possible we lost some equipment, so be it. Let the pakis keep guessing. They couldn't even agree on a number. And now they have to deal with news about IAF using decoys.

    Amul Protein Buttermilk - Have you tried it?

    Why not start experimenting with animal protein? I grew up a vegetarian but switched when I was about 30. Will definitely recommend. Start with eggs/kfc before moving on to the real things.

    Pakistan propaganda, lies. Please be active on social media

    Don't follow social media so not sure what pakis are doing. I am more annoyed by what our people are doing. 1. Please stop fighting about who won or lost. It was a special operation, not a war. 2. Please stop crying about IMF lending money to Pak. It is our fight. If the rest of the world...

    India-Pakistan current war like situation discussion (Pahalgham)

    BTW, did we hear anything from Gen ALM Fazlur Rahman last week :) From a messaging POV, this operation was 24 carat gold.

    India-Pakistan current war like situation discussion (Pahalgham)

    Where are you guys getting your news/analysis from? Could you rate the sources. Here is mine: The good ones: Col Raina - No nonsense. He lives in JK so has first hand experience. Gen Ravi Shankar (Gunner's shot) Sri Iyer (PGurus) Gen Rajeev Narayanan - Good but sometimes I feel he is imagining...

    Is AI Making Us Dumber? Study Reveals Critical Thinking Decline

    Did the invention of calculators affect our ability do calculations in the head? Did the invention of automobiles weaken the leg muscles? Did the invention of air-conditioner reduce our tolerance to temperature/humidity changes? Have they run out of real things to research on? Or are dumber...

    Navigating the Ethics of Conscious AI: A Call for Responsible Development

    We are far far away from conscious AI. This is just some good old attention wh*ring.

    Indians Being Deported from USA are treated so inhumanely.

    Exactly as it should be. If your moral code does not favor your material interests, you are preparing yourself for a Darwin award. The key is to tilt the moral landscape without raising eyebrows. Something Europeans are quite good at. We still have some way to go.

    Indians Being Deported from USA are treated so inhumanely.

    Why do you expect them to do otherwise? Just be grateful they weren't 'disappeared' or sent to gitmo. If our well-being depends on kindness of other people, we still have some distance to travel. Think of it as a reality check and get to work.

    News DeepSeek.com making waves!

    Glad someone burst the bubble. I am hoping the Chinese parade a 20 year old intern as the inventor. Markov chain on steroids is still a Markov chain. Calling it AI and selling it as a solution to every problem in the world is FTX level stuff. Silicon valley scammers losing money is a good thing.

    Work toxicity on the rise

    You know whats funny. There is no mention of Marathi in his complaint. So Tamil Telugu Malayalam and Hindi speaking guys are quarreling about language in a Marathi dominated town :) India is a complex place.
