No evidence of Pakistan dismantling terror infrastructure, says ex-envoy Haqqani
Washington, Apr 13 : Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent statement promising an end of support to terror groups does not reflect a change of policy and is motivated by the fear of getting blacklisted by the global terror-financing watchdog FATF, the country’s former envoy to the US Husain Haqqani has said.

Just read another pathetic article by The Hindu and it keeps churning out sh#t like this. Apparently as per The Hindu PAF not only has Mirage 2000 but they were deployed by PAF on the 27 Feb. I have written a very stinging reply coz they have written a judgemental article regarding"the claims of IAF shooting down a F-16"


Did India shoot down an F-16 of the Pakistan Air Force?

Pakistan says no, U.S. weighs in. Where does the truth lie?




The story so far: In the early hours of February 26, the Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted precision air strikes on a Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) training camp at Balakot in Pakistan. In response the next day, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets targeted Indian military installations across the Line of Control (LoC), but the attack was thwarted by IAF jets. In the engagement that followed, a MiG-21 of the IAF, piloted by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, was shot. India claimed that Wing Commander Varthaman, before he came down across the LoC, had brought down an F-16. Pakistan denied that an F-16 was targeted, and early this month a report in Foreign Policy, a prominent American magazine, said a U.S. count of the F-16s with Pakistan had found that none of them was “missing” and all the fighter planes were “accounted for.” Following this, the IAF released two radar images to support its claim that the F-16 was, indeed, shot down.

What happened on February 27?
On February 27, PAF fighter jets, comprising F-16s, JF-11s, Mirage-2000s and Mirage III/Vs, tried to drop precision munitions on Indian military installations in the Naushera sector along the LoC. IAF officers claimed 24 PAF planes were involved, of which 11 were F-16s. However, they were intercepted and engaged by the IAF’s Su-30MKIs, Mirage-2000s and MiG-21 Bison fighters guided by ground radars and the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. This resulted in an engagement between the IAF and PAF jets. The IAF had stated that a PAF F-16 was shot down by a MiG-21. The Army managed to recover the tail units of the H4 glide bombs and pieces of the AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile) fired by the F-16s. Among the PAF fighter fleet, only the F-16s can fire AMRAAMs.

The solar proliferation that we see in india today is result of 15 years of hard work done by NGO's in villages.
there is a whole range of on the ground data collection and awareness programs that happened in india.
Actually i brought up the rural solar mini-grids to counter his claims about it being expensive.

While truth is that levelized cost of solar PV electricity in India fell below ₹1.5 per kWh in November 2017, cheaper than fuel cost of any pit head coal-based power plants in India.

And credit for proliferation of solar energy use in village areas goes equally to the govt...
The Indian government has reduced the solar PV power purchase price from the maximum allowed ₹4.43 (per KWh to ₹4.00 per KWh. Solar panel prices are lower than those of mirrors by unit area. India govt offer huge incentives & tariffs are record low for those govt. solar parks (eg: ₹1.24 per kWh for 50 MW capacity Pavagada Solar Park).

Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is pushing its schemes hard too. National Solar Mission increased India's solar power generation capacity by nearly 6 times between 2014 (2.X GW) & 2017 (12GW).
Added 5GW in 2016-17 fiscal alone, more than twice of 2014... And Khangress govt. started the other in 2011! We're adding 14GW in 2019-20 fiscal & 60GW in next one.


Whole of central-western India receiving rain/clouds for a few weeks of the year & scorching sunny sky for the rest, could go solar efficiently.

My barber's lights & fans are solar powered...

Mini-grids are useful for schools or clinics, in rural & remote areas, which are hard to reach with conventional power supply and/or with load-shedding & power-cut problems.
Panels can power singular devices like streets lights or farm pumps effectively;

IMG_20190414_080808_357.jpg

Other than that you need too much area to effectively meet power consumption of an urban household (on top of that, our flat is shadowed by a huge building most of the day)... unless you're talking farmhouse or bungalow with space for enough panels to power itself, installing them to run only a desktop don't make sense.

India's orginal target of 100GW solar by 2022, is to be reached by 2020 at this pace & GOI has changed goalposts to 175GW solar power by 2022... To put that into perspective; the total installed power generating capacity is 350 GW as of February 2019.
Over the last year, wind and solar power tariffs have fallen to a record low of around ₹2.4 per unit, much lower than the average of ₹3.7 per unit at which analysts saycoal-based power is currently being sold on India’s power exchanges.


Just keep voting for Modi, & you'll do more than enough. We're on the right track, just gotta keep pushing through the hurdles

Azam Khan pelted stones on Army troops, dug up road to prevent troops from reaching border during 1965 war, claims journalist
In a shocking revelation, senior journalist and political commentator Pushpendra Kulshreshtha has alleged that senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, Azam Khan was involved in attacking the Army troops leaving for border areas from Rampur cantonment during the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Kulshreshtha said this while speaking at an event organised in Amity Law School in Lucknow in February this year.

Kulshreshtha who is an alumnus of Aligarh Muslim University like Azam Khan, said that during the 1965 Indo-Pak War, troops of Army were leaving from Rampur cantonment to join the forces on the border areas. He added that Azam Khan, who was a college student in Rampur at that time, made a group of around 50 people and attacked the troops leaving for the frontline with stones and dug pits in the roads to hinder the movement of the troops.

He further said that Azam Khan was beaten up because of his involvement in the attack on the Army troops and was admitted to a hospital after his arrest. In the hospital, Azam Khan was ordered by the then IB officer in the area to leave the city, after which he went to Aligarh and got himself admitted in the Aligarh Muslim University. And later he even went on to become a Minister, Kulshreshtha added.

A nation desperately wishing to fail

"As Balakot surgical strike is going to be alive, at least till elections are around", I am unable to escape from reading social media posts about it from some of the smartest people of my nation.Though I am not in a position to accept or deny existence or success/failure of surgical strike with cent percent certainty, this episode has made me sure about something else.

I am absolutely sure that no nation on the planet is as keen or desperate to fail as the country called India.

The amount of intellectual energy that Indian intelligentsia has invested in looking for evidences to prove failure of surgical strike is so incredible that their failure-hunger needs to be explored to look for an explanation for this undoubtedly unique Indian talent.

Let us differentiate this quest of desperation from our standard hatred for the state that stems from systemic inefficiencies and corruption that are in front of us.

Balakot is not here for us to see to be sure of its failure by any stretch.

Unfortunately, for some mysterious reason, Imran Khan has also not invited our 150 plus scientists, 600 plus theatre artists, 200 plus academicians and various other experts for a tea to Balakot to help them confirm and celebrate failure of the strike. And yet, the social media is filled to the brim with Indian Sherlock Holms offering conclusions about its failure.

If we look honestly at Balakot, with the level of information available, it offers convenience of choosing either of the option of success and failure, and yet India has enough countrymen not only opting for failure but are so desperate that they are ready to go to any extreme in looking for evidence from anywhere, even from Pakistan to proclaim failure of their nation in an act of aggression.

From psychological perspective, this desire to look for failure really needs exploration as, when there is reasonable opportunity available, people should be choosing the option that makes them feel good and not the one that makes them feel bad. So, there is only one possibility that can explain the choice, i.e. failure feels good to a given set of Indians.

If it sounds weird, in reality it is not, as loving failure is a lot common than what it seems. If one needs to make one's life simple, accepting failure is a path of least resistance. It is a state of mind that offers a great comfort, especially if one can assign the cause of failure to someone or something else.

All the Indians trying really hard to prove that their nation has failed are comfortably satiating their failure-hunger because they have delinked themselves from the state. Working hard to prove failure of their own nation is not a source of discomfort for them because they see that failure as a success of their ideology.

As an intellectual musing, this is a great subject to explore, but there is something more real here, and that needs urgent cognisance by the entire nation if it wants to remain a nation.

Failed or successful, surgical strike meant that some really young Indians had to fly across a hostile border and face death. Such acts of valour are possible only when these young men know that there is a nation rooting for their success.

No solider can lay down his life for a nation that is desperately looking to prove that he has failed. And lot worse is when he sees a nation looking at him as a potential liar.

So, to all my extremely intelligent friends out there looking at international media and even Pakistan with hope that Balakot has failed, I have a simple prayer.

A nation can survive only when guarded fiercely by its soldiers. India needs its armed forces and wants them to be confident that there is a nation standing behind them praying for their success and not for their failure.

International Monetary Fund asks Pakistan to share details of loans from China
International Monetary Fund (IMF), who is currently considering a bailout package for Pakistan, has asked the latter to share details of loans that it has received from China.

According to the Express Tribune, IMF, during a recent meeting, voiced concern about Beijing's financial assistance to Islamabad.
.....
......

Pakistan, however, has sought help from several countries including Saudi Arabia and China as its economy has been in limbo for a long time.

It secured loans up to $6 billion from Saudi Arabia on the sidelines of the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh in October.


Islamabad has been seeking commercial loans of $2 billion from Beijing.


China has already refused to provide a balance of payment (BoP) support to Pakistan.
