I have always wondered why we have never had widebody for domestic. When AI got the new widebody they operated it on DEL-BLR, BOM-DEL and had decent occupancy I thought.

@Jairam_Ramesh You have become a buffoon like your mate Khera. Hopefully, you will be careful of what you say with great confidence but is falsehood.

Why is the PM of India - who claims very special friendship with the US, Israel, Iran, and the Gulf countries and who also holds the BRICS+ Presidency this year - not in the picture at all during the ceasefire negotiations? How and why was India not pivotal during the ceasefire negotiations?

@Dig_raw21 As in more advanced States like Tamilnadu where liquor revenue is 2nd highest to fuel excise duty.Ruling party makes money on that & before elections gives freebies like fridge etc to women to pacify them and succeed. Drunken men beat up their wives and steal latter's earnings.

Women of Uttarakhand destroying liquor shops. State has been sadly sold to Liquor mafias .
Sadly women and families have to face the consequences of liquor and drugs abuse.

Whichever way you slice it, this is a huge diplomatic win for Pakistan. Islamabad comes across as a responsible actor with enough trust in key world capitals to help avert a potential global catastrophe.

@mjavinod @narendramodi He won't nuke! If he does, Israel will be affected. That's exactly why Israel was determined to flatten Iran's nuke weapons capabilities. However, they will flatten Iran viz. Persia, an ancient civilisation. They did that to Iraq another ancient civilisation and to Vietnam.

Of course Pakistan will be cooked first

@smitadeshmukh Feel sorry for his disfigurement of his face but ideally he should step away from politics because he cannot speak a word clearly. It's the power and money he still wants. Sad state of affairs in Indian politics.

@aravind @thehawkeyex Anti farm laws were staged only by the wealthy farmers of Punjab, mainly the money lenders/touts! It is clear where this originated from. A good law was scuttled and poor small holdings farmers suffered.

imo, Delhi will release him one day soon not because of some pressure but because of backroom deals we will never hear about. We have to understand this and inform the public too as it will be made into Modi is US agent, India is weak etc.
Also, I would like to iterate this again - Bangladesh or Myanmar or NE insurgency are being run by the USDS compromised by the GLISCO network influenced by China.
This is something most people aren't getting and associate any such actions against India directly to Trump, Canada PM, UK govt etc.
For example, the attacks on Adani from the US and the DS were against US long term interests and in the interests of China. Anti-Farm reforms protests organized from US/Canada were anti-US/Canada interests (who have long been crying for India to open up the farm sector) and in favor of China (with whom India would directly compete worldwide if reforms were done.)

Latest visuals of Matthew VanDyke.
He has directly participated in the worst conflict zones across the world. Then he took on the assignment of imparting arms training to the North East militant group.
Now NIA is taking good care of him.
Many ppl who claiming that Delhi will release him in 48hrs of a call from WDC. Well!

@ArunKrishnan_ Me too. Actually, Subhash Chandra Bose's formation of INA, the Naval mutiny in Bombay, WW II which depleted the British military and the rising Hindu Muslim tensions in India were the actual causes that made the Brits turn tail and run away from India.

What exactly did the Salt Match achieve? And how did it contribute to India gaining freedom? Are we saying that without the salt match, we wouldn't have achieved freedom?
I never understood this even in school. We were taught a set of disjointed events -- Rowlat Act, Salt March, Morley Minto reforms, Chauri Chaura, Quit India movement which died out quickly and then, hey presto, INDEPENDENCE. Er. Actually, dominion status!

On April 6th 1930, after a 241 mile march over 24 days, Mahatma Gandhi walked into the Arabian sea and picked up a handful of salty mud. “With this,” he announced, “I am shaking the foundations of the British Empire.” And he did! The Dandi Salt March culminated on this day 96 years ago, after commencing from the Sabarmati ashram at 6.30 a.m. on March 12, 1930. A 61 year old Gandhiji, staff in hand, led 78 satyagrahis who represented a cross-section from the entire nation. The march had commenced even after a brutal crackdown by British authorities. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who had been preparing the villagers all along the route had been arrested at Ras on March 7. Undeterred, 75,000 people attended a mammoth meeting on March 9th the sands of the Sabarmati. Here, they passed a resolution in the form of a vow in Gandhiji's presence to tread the same path Sardar Vallabhbhai had trod. The British were quick to react. Nehru was arrested on April 14th, and then in early May they arrested Mahatma Gandhi at Darsana, picking him up at the dead of the night to avoid being gheraoed by his devoted followers. But the British knew that the wheels that had been set into motion would only now stop with India's independence.

@sneheshphilip Worse case years ago in Chennai where a boy from nearby slum climbed over wall of an Army Residential area to pluck mangoes and a retired Col staying there shot dead the boy and threw his gun into a nearby canal.Shekhar Gupta put nets around his mango trees to prevent parrots.

Only because the child was that of a migrant. Had it been any other child of his social status or higher, he would have laughed it off and probably plucked himself and given her

Indian poverty is a legacy of British colonial rule. In 1650 Indian per capita income was broadly similar to per capita income in Europe. In 1947, at independence, India’s per capita income was a fraction of Europe’s. During 190 years of British rule Indian GDP grew <0.25% a year

@ProudIdolator @MakrandParanspe Partially true.Germans& Japs are great innovators.Mercedes,BMW etc in Germany,Honda/Datsun/Suzuki/Bullet trains are some examples in Japan. US had nothing to do with these;infact they imported.Germans and Japanese are hardworking and disciplined. Yes, US gave military protection.
English
@19sunay @MakrandParanspe Germany & Japan are small nations which have developed themselves at the mercy of Americans. India jumped from one dustbin(colonialism) to another dustbin(socialism). The growth of Japan & Germany is aided. India's growth is self made. We are here for the long game.

@keepwatchin89 @MakrandParanspe Ridiculous! Many Engineers (Vishwesherayya), Scientists (CV Raman, Bose), Mathematicians (Ramanujam) remained in India. After IITs started, all their under graduates went to US & still doing so. Socialism knocked out innovation and industrial and economic growth. Period!
English
@19sunay @MakrandParanspe Colonialism wiped out our engineers, scientists, designers, architects etc due to the policies of the occupiers.
English
@keepwatchin89 @MakrandParanspe Wrong! Many German Engineers/Scientists migrated to US; quite a many would've been part of Nazi regime & wiped out.They started from scratch.Japan's most important cities were the two nuked; surely their top rung Engineers/Scientists would've been wiped out and many in war!
English
@19sunay @MakrandParanspe Wrong comparison.
🇩🇪 & 🇯🇵 case is not similar to 🇮🇳.
Bombing of infrastructure vs a systematic deindustrialization over 200 years.
War wiped out their soldiers and leadership but not their engineers, scientists, designers, architects etc.
For us it was opposite See more…

@RadhikaSpeak @MakrandParanspe @gitaprian Seriously!!Prof thought Gen SHFJ Manekshaw,then COAS,would himself go into trenches in East Pakistan like Maj Gen Jacob supposedly did! Doubt latter ever won a gallantry medal which former won in battle. SHFJM led his Army into war and won it for the country! Unlike Gen Thapar!
English
@MakrandParanspe @gitaprian “Sam took the credit”
That is to mean a barb directed at a man whose credentials were impeccable
Not expected from you Professor.
English
Not only that: Sam Manekshaw had ordered Jacob NOT to attack Dhaka because Indira Gandhi had not sanctioned it.
But Jacob proceeded, at great risk to his own career, because he saw the chance & decided to decapitate the head of the serpent.
When asked why he had disobeyed, he said the coms had broken down & therefore he had not received orders.
After India won, Mrs Gandhi was compared to Kali; she had partitioned Pakistan, the partitioner.
Sam also took the credit; his legend survives after his death.
Jacob was recognized only 20 yrs later, when @BJP4India came to power. They made him governor first of Goa, then Punjab.

@ArunKrishnan_ Pathetic! This is exactly what SoniaG did to the legendary Field Marshal when he passed away in Coonoor. She showed contempt by not sending a single senior Minister to attend his funeral. He was a soldier's man and a fantastic General of the Indian Army!Deserves the Bharat Ratna!

Been noticing this unseemly X apar, trying to demean Sam Maneckshaw by showing other Generals up.
I don't get it. They were all great sons of India. Yes, Sagar Singh was the man in the ground who defied orders, I agree. But to demean FM Maneckshaw, and that too on his birth anniversary, what do we achieve?
