It seems communists steal land within their country also. A-grade thieves

Chinese are land stealers. In the oceans they are fish stealers. Chinese have always been intellectual property stealers. Now it emerges they are also data stealers.

Chinese products are low margin and China requires lots of scale. Also because the Chinese steal intellectual property, no American company locates cutting edge software companies in China. For example, Google or Oracle wont let their software code be shipped to China. Indian companies are more...

There have been 10 meetings and some have stretched to 15 hours or so. That is 125 hours of discussions. After that we are still getting the "Both sides agreed to maintain peace and tranquillity" kind of press releases. Maybe progress is being made but it seems very very slow. Which means the...

In an IPL match that went to superover, Shreyas Iyer asked Rabada what he was going to bowl. Rabada's reply was first ball - yorker, second ball - yorker, third ball - yorker. Shreyas told him he knew the last three balls he was going to bowl. Similarly, any of us on this forum can write the...

This is a good analysis. Our economy will keep growing and will always be large enough to hold the interest of Russia. Also Russia has given us lot of critical tech which others have not. We should not play the non-aligned game. We should align with everyone who benefits us and upholds our...

What is heavy about the concept of Dharma ? It has been around the Indian continent for 6000-7000 years and lots of people understand it. If you dont find a single Hindu terrorist in the world today or Hindus taking up guns and randomly shooting at others, it is because of Dharma and the belief...

The US is upping the game

Yes survival cannot be the sole objective, it can only be the first objective. Yes Sanatana Dharma is the key. As Nassim Taleb points out in his book "Anti-fragile", the longer something has been around, the more robust it is. In a way Hinduism is quite robust. But the systems that sustained it...

This strategy of defense is quite recent and a consequence of M.K. Gandhi's non-violence approach. Both the Marathas and Sikhs had a active forward policy. In fact it was the Dogra Gulab Singh's annexation of Kashmir that secured it for India. You are right in that the vulnerability of Hindus...

The main requisite is the willingness to play the infinite game. Of course resources are needed but resources are of no use if the ideology and will to play the game are not there. Hindus have been playing it over 1000 years. Islamic rule had been pushed back by the Maratha and Sikh empires...

Many of India's problems seem to be that we believe in playing finite games while our opponents play infinite games. Islamic fundamentalism is an infinite game, it cannot be solved with any kinds of appeasements in any country. Also appeasement fails the value filter the above TED video mentions...

Am sure US has wargamed the situation extensively (as they did the Kargil war) and concluded that India can confront China.

Shukla and the Congress was daring Modi to go to war from day 1. As if the government has to take advice from these guys. There are many ways to skin the Chinese cat. One way is to keep them in the Ladakh cold for winter and let the weather do the job. Air conditioned tents and drone noodles can...

Taiwan had a fairly active nuclear weapons program till the 1980's. Am sure they would have resumed it or atleast assembled a few nukes and kept it in their basement. If they havent, then this is a good time to do it and complete the final turns of the screwdriver. About 20-30 nukes facing China...
