I agree, it looked a bit filmi & ajay devgun'nish

Uniformed troops should not be utilized for drama ( nautanki)

This act should have been left to bikers club or some such group

What ran away with the baker was the hideous peacock & garish lotus formation on bullet MC's

the best part was the portrayal of NAARI SHAKTI as a theme among various themes. the credit must be given to Mr. Modi for suggesting it.

Yup. And it also helps a lot in dispelling the 'India as a country very unsafe for women" message that is been covered for quite a while in Western media.

These motorcycle stunts are the best. Why buy expensive APCs when you can use this formidable formation. Reminds a little bit war elephants. Great work! Suitable also for countries that struggle with defense budgets like we do.

One of the things I was tracking is for the mention of Obama's intent to move away from Chinese economy. He had mentioned in his state of Union speech . Emphasis was on bringing out the difference between Chinese and indian trade with the Americans. From an american perspective it does not make sense to finance their own rival grow.

Beauty of american politics is that their long term plans start in a very subtle way. I am now confident Obama is sold on this idea, the question is whether democrats and republicans are sold on the concept.

All our desi babus and politicians have to do is not screw this up again.

US trade with China is about 560 Billion and with India just reached 100 Billion.

After so much trade and business China still threatens US. What a great ROI !!! :lol:
