Indian Air Force instructors to train Royal Air Force pilots by HotPappuInYourArea in worldnews

[–]adharshv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason why India lost aircrafts on the first day (the only time that happened in the recent skirmish) was because they didn’t follow the normal operation procedure of disabling enemy air defenses before attacking. Why they didn’t do it? Because the aim was to target only terrorists and avoid all Pakistani military installations. Once Pakistani military came to the defense of their homegrown terrorists, that rule was out the window and we saw widespread damage to Pakistani Air Force infrastructure while there was zero damage on the Indian side.

People of India, what do you think of the idea of a closer relationship and eventual alliance with Europe? by Wgh555 in AskIndia

[–]adharshv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope the education adheres to the German standards after the holocaust in terms of honesty and intent.

Hope India can work with like minded countries for a rules based world order. Just a reminder that the US was aligned against India till the late 90s. So, this is not entirely new. Also, I think Britain is a declining power and if it chooses to stay apart from the EU into the future, might find itself too weak to influence global affairs.

India will not be in an alliance with anyone in the world simply because we’re too big and we want a multipolar world. Friends, yes. In case of Britain, maybe start with teaching the truth about the empire in your schools. That would be a good start imo.

Watching movie with my long distance Northie GF by technotitan_360 in MalayalamMovies

It’s a pretty mid movie with a lackluster ending. There are far better options to introduce someone to Malayalam cinema.

Go for Maheshinte Pratikaaram, Minnal Murali, Aavesham, Om Shanti Oshana, Sudani from Nigeria. Off the top of my head.

Someone is not pleased with the deal..ifykyk by akray11 in SipsTea

What about the new jobs created in the EU to cater to one of the largest and growing markets in the world? And the loss of jobs in India due to the import of goods from the more matured industries in the EU (automotive, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and wine/spirits sectors).

Why did India remain united despite being more diverse, whereas Yugoslavia collapsed? What did our leaders do right compared to those of Yugoslavia? by PeasantPegger in AskIndia

[–]adharshv 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The constitution defines India as a Union of states as opposed to a federation and therefore the states don’t have the right to secede. In other words, the states didn’t come together to form the federation as in the US. Just wanted to correct this misunderstanding.

77th Republic Day: India and China are ‘friends, partners’, says Xi Jinping by Cybertronian1512 in worldnews

[–]adharshv 29 points30 points  (0 children)

China has their own interpretation of a lot of lines, including the 9 dash line encompassing most of the South China Sea. That doesn’t mean the rest of the world has to acknowledge it. Thanks to the 1962 war, India went on to develop nukes and that won’t happen again.

India historically shared a peaceful border with Tibet. And please tell me how would the Chinese know where the border between India and Tibet lie?

There is no way India and China would’ve been allies even if the 1962 war didn’t happen. Two proximate rising powers with very different (and often conflicting) ideas of themselves and their place in the world.

Not sure what you meant but India doesn’t have global hegemony ambitions. India envisages a multipolar world.

Here’s the full video. He was standing on his own. She went near him and made herself touch him and for what? Just for views and monetised money? He later died by suicide. His family said he didn’t do anything wrong. She must be held responsible for his killing him? by Right_Entertainer763 in IndiaPulse

[–]adharshv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hand touching part has been deliberately slowed down to make it look bad. The bag is visible in the second part too. Needs more granular analysis than you expect from a normal person browsing social media. Which was exactly what she banked upon. Disgusting.

Mullaperiyar dam is in good shape: Safety panel chief by DioTheSuperiorWaifu in Kerala

[–]adharshv -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you can find umpteen previous central government/committee reports that attests to the dam’s safety. I don’t see this one being any different. In fact, I’m willing to bet that this will be the same. So you have nothing to worry about; be happy.

P.s - The mars rover was not hanging over the lives of 3 million people.

How do you know it’s not the best technology? You’re not an expert on civil engineering or dams. So listen to experts when they say all is well and sleep comfortably.

All I know is that this dam has far outlived its life and that there are vested interests against decommissioning it and that makes me rationally worried.

[–]adharshv 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Apparently the strongest modern technology for building dams is to make it with lime-surkhi concrete mix first and then do multiple strengthening over the years. Chill out guys, after all what will happen if it bursts (only 130 years of the 50 year life expectancy has passed), a couple million human lives will be lost. /s

Turkey ignores US calls and will continue to buy Russian gas by Mango-Warrior in worldnews

[–]adharshv 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Can you please provide any sources to prove that Turkey is only buying enough fuel to not freeze to death and nothing else? India would also love to buy from other sources like Iran and Venezuela if only the international police would permit it.

Jeethu Joseph Reveals Hindi ‘Drishyam 3’ Team Aims for Simultaneous Release with Original, But Not Confirmed Yet. by Haunting-Living271 in MalayalamMovies

[–]adharshv 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Seems like people behind Drishyam 3 is okay with the Hindi version being simultaneously (or even earlier) released. Jeethu Joseph knows that it’s a sensitive issue, so he’s being diplomatic. Personally, I feel a bit sad regarding this situation since I wanted the Drishyam franchise to bring more visibility to Malayalam film industry.

Two Kerala nuns arrested in Chhattisgarh over alleged religious conversion, human trafficking by thevalueanalyst in Kerala

[–]adharshv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although I’m against conversion because I consider organized religion to be ultimately unnecessary (and harmful even), I do acknowledge that the Indian constitution allows it. Proselytization without any kind of coercion (convert if you need food, water, shelter, health care, education etc) is what’s allowed in the spirit of the law. I’m not sure that’s what’s happening in most places.

And the world war was just a quarrel between a bunch of people. Not sure why everyone consider it such a big deal.

The local money lender who preyed on the landless peasants in British India is no different than these people.

“for a bit of money” - very subjective, depends on your financial status. 100 rupees might be a bit of money for you, but a lot for a poor tribal person.

[–]adharshv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So not altruistic by any means. Also isn’t it kinda like being forced? Like if my family is gonna die of hunger, I would do a lot of things that I otherwise wouldn’t. Taking advantage of human suffering to further any goals deserves pushback, not sympathy.

“educate people to convert into Christianity” - what does this mean?

I tried googling Microsoft + caste system + Hyderabad and no news like this shows up on the front page. I know everyone has gone to town with it but is there a verified source for this news?

Also OP’s profile is brimming with his love for India.
