โ€œconvent school background. Such schools donโ€™t proselytise but subconsciously colonise Indian mindsโ€

I studied in a Christian school. One that has produced 2 services chiefs and 2 vice chiefs - one of whom is an incumbent. A Kargil Vir Chakra and many more. RW loved

Europeโ€™s gas imports from Russia overtook supplies from the US for the first time in almost two years in May, despite the regionโ€™s efforts to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels since the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

While one-off factors drove the reversal, it highlights

In the last war India fought in 1999 , it was artillery which helped win the war. 25 years ago May-July, our boys slugged it out in difficult and hostile environment. But 25 years on, we have added very little of the over 3000 155mm guns the army needs.

Apart from 155mm guns, India must expand its ammunition production - 155mm shells, Pinaka rockets, ATGMSs, drones. Some of those like the 155mm shells must be sold to the world to fund our capacity expansion. If war comes and itโ€™s protracted, we must have a large domestic

While the world scrambles for artillery, Indiaโ€™s defence planners are quite chilled. Jaldi kya hai?

Thanks to Parrikar we got 145 M777. There was a piecemeal order of 100 for Vajra which was delivered before time despite Covid. The production line is dead, while orders are

Almost all Nato countries have too little artillery. And most of them are scrambling to grow their artillery holdings as fast as they can โ€“ just to match Russiaโ€™s current firepower.
The Russian army deployed around 4,000 howitzers โ€“ both towed and self-propelled โ€“ and rocket

Today is a fun day. Those opposing the BJP today find resonance with Musk who is Right leaning and โ€œTrumpishโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

It will be fun to see them tweet against Musk for supporting a white supremacist authoritarian.

The EC ONLY job is to hold free and fair elections. It is their work. No matter how many times it takes, let them throw the challenges.

Coz BJP won in 2014 ๐Ÿ˜Š

BJP questioned EVMs after being out of power for just 5 years. Congress is now out of power for 10 years and will be out for 15 years.

Let there be repeated pariksha. To make the system better the EC can regularly hold hackathons. There should be no problem with that as it will help with transparency and integrity of the system and not invite accusations that induce doubts in the mind of the people of India.

*Iโ€™ll let go of your snide remarks

* Coz I will address the issue - itโ€™s about hackability of a system. Driverless cars can be hacked into. Or made to go bonkers by systems similar to take out drones using electromagnetic emissions. If you think that can be taken care of or the

Itโ€™s the case for every sector - financial, electricity, railway etc etc. We are dependent on linked systems which can and are being hacked. But steps are taken to secure them.

The question is how do we make EVMs safer. Indian machines are different as they arenโ€™t connected.
