This.

Feku is so desperate to show his face in media that he won't hesitate in going for inaugurating even a lamp post if that means showing his face non stop for few moments. Hope everyone remembers his propensity for flashbulbs when he met Zuckerberg....The latter was embarrassed to say the least.

Hmm i also dnt think credit should be given to modi for this.
But let us play a game. Let us suppose if tomorrow I go to market and beat an innocent Muslim. So blame will go to modi Or not???

So if my nalayki credit goes to some one then some one intelligence credit will also go to that person. Isn't it?
[MENTION=132715]Varun[/MENTION] may also answer this or anyone.

If you as a Hindu beat a Muslim, it is not something new. Muslims have been beating Hindus too for years before the BJP. Let's get that fact right.

The difference with Modi is, now even some keyboard warriors are stepping out of their basement. They feel empowered that the law will not really take them down. Since he has changed the way people have begun to express the resentment they earlier used to limit to mere words, he deserves all the abuse he can get.

Regarding Mars mission or other spacey things, scientific institutions are outside of the government and have nothing do with some political clown who thinks we were doing plastic surgery thousands of years ago and also flying in the skies.

A country with 1.3b people will always have poverty. It is unfortunate, but the fact is that massively populated countries like India and Pakistan cannot eliminate poverty.

Yes efforts should be made to tackle it to a certain extent, but you also have to be realistic. It should not deter you from making progress in other aspects.

This is where Indian have done very well. They have been able to boost their economy by developing modern industries (IT, pharma, auto, consultancy etc.) as well as a very ambitious Space program.

Pakistan also needs to follow their example. As long as our main emphasis is on our rhetoric against corruption, we will not make any progress and neither will we be able to eliminate corruption, which along with poverty, is also a reality.

Apart from terrorism, Pakistan and India have common problems. Poverty, corruption, communial violence etc., but India has been able to distinguish itself by developing modern industries which Pakistan have not been able to because of the stronghold of the military.

China's poverty rate is 6 percent compared to india's 23%. Still i see Indians comparing india to china.

LOL WHAT?

Do you understand what bankruptcy is? It's when debt obligations cannot be met.

You could try insolvency, but then USA and UK are in the same boat, meaning the government's income does not cover the liabilities/cost - this is why debt in countries expands, as governments have to borrow each month which is called the deficit, India included.

'India attains the capability to target, destroy space satellites in orbit'

April 28, 2012
ISSUE DATE: May 7, 2012
india now has the capability to target and destroy space satellites in orbit. "Today, we have developed all the building blocks for an anti-satellite (ASAT) capability," scientific adviser to the defence minister and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chief Vijay Saraswat told India Today. This capability has given India a deterrent against China. In January 2007, a Chinese asat missile destroyed an unused weather satellite.

Indian economy is amomg top 5 in the world and the fastest growing trillion dollar economy, with foreign reserves in excess of $400bn. So yes Indian economy is among top countries.

Pakistan is negotating a bailout with IMF and right now its forex reserves are heavily dependent on short term bailout money from Saudi,UAE and China. If you are not bankrupt why the need for a bailout?

And what is the poverty rate of India compared to Pakistan? How much percent of the wealth is hoarded by the top 1% in your country? A big economy is useless if the extreme rich hoard vast majority of the wealth.

As for bankruptcy, as someone asked before, do you know what bankruptcy means?

Yaar, didn't you know? The satellite shot down was launched in 1000 BC during the Vedic period in India. As for Indian economy, well it's nothing to brag about to be honest, I mean you only have to look a the list of Indian companies that have filed for bankruptcy - Reliance Communications, multiple Indian airlines, IT and services, levels of poverty, disparity, homelessness, etc. I just tend to ignore most of the bragging because the reality is that for 1000s of years, Indians have complained about being victims one way or another, and now with a leader who sanctions saffron terrorism at the helm, the message is one of superiority based on a false sense of security. I say good luck to them, they really do need it. We all need a good laugh once a while!

Poverty rates can be compared once Pakistan publishes its verified census results. Right now all figures for Pakistan are based on a census that was done before 2000.

Brookings institute in its study estimated the Below poverty line population to be around 50mn in India in 2019. Thats 5%.

The thing is, the BJP die hards would have voted for Modi anyway. They didn't need this candyfloss satellite mumbo-jumbo to sway them - that is if it didn't fly over their heads in the first place (quite likely, and pun intended).

So basically, a waste of time for everybody concerned.

India is a country with a rich state and poor people, while Pakistan is the opposite (to an extent) - people are much less poor than India but the state is quite poor. The top 1% hoard a highly disproportionate amount of wealth India. Some people are unhappy at the fact that there are so few billionaires in Pakistan while India has a lot. I always tell them that this is a good thing, since it means society is much more equal compared to India.

They have shot down Frieza's spaceship, wow, Pakistan Air Force will be no match for them now..
 
In other news, Indian Investigators have found that they themselves shot down their own Mi17 V5 Chopper on 27th Feb :)) :))

Budgam: Indian missile fired before Mi17 V5 chopper crash

NEW DELHI: Investigators have found that an Indian air defence missile was fired shortly before the crash of a Mi17 V5 helicopter at Budgam, near Srinagar on February 27, which resulted in the deaths of six air force personnel and a citizen on ground. The investigators are examining the sequence of events which preceded the crash.

The final moments preceding the crash, including if the IFF (Identity, Friend or Foe) systems were switched on or not, are being carefully looked at to determine what went wrong. The air force brass, highly placed sources told ET, has made it clear that it would not shy away from initiating court martial proceedings against personnel if they are found blameworthy in the inquiry.

ET has learnt that the focus of the investigation now is to determine if multiple layers of safeguards meant to protect assets from friendly fire failed and how systems need to be improved to prevent any such incident in the future. Sources said that the missile – believed to be of Israeli origin – was activated after an air defence alert was sounded over Jammu and Kashmir, besides other parts of the border, after a over 25 Pakistani air force jets were detected along the border on the morning of February 27.

The alert, sources said, indicated that Pakistani jets may be trying to breach the border for a strike on Indian military targets and there were concerns that armed UAVs available with that country may also have been deployed. A slow moving target like the Mi 17 V 5 helicopter could potentially be mistaken for a low flying armed UAV homing into an air base, according to these sources.

“When an air defence alert is sounded, several things take place. There are a set of rules that transport aircraft and helicopters need to follow and there are set entry and egress routes demarcated for aircraft flying. Also, aircraft are to switch on their IFF (Identify, Friend or Foe) systems,” sources told ET.

They added that all angles are being probed to determine if lapses took place and where. A senior officer is conducting the court of inquiry into the crash and has been given access to all inputs available with ground controllers as well as the actions of the helicopter in the ten minutes that it was in the air. As reported by ET, the chopper crashed in the 10-minute span when IAF jets were engaged in an aerial battle with the Pakistan Air Force fighters, along the Line of Control in the Nowshera sector, and air defence systems were on operational alert. Command and control systems were under immense pressure as reports of attempted intrusions were sounded along the border.

The Indian side officially acknowledged the crash but has not mentioned it in official statements on the aerial battle and the current conflict with Pakistan. In its official statement, the Pakistani military acknowledged the aerial battle over Nowshera but said its fighters were not involved in the chopper incident.

Mi17V5 is one of the sturdiest choppers in service across the world and is not usually prone to technical faults of catastrophic nature. Eyewitness reported that a loud explosion was heard in the air before the chopper crashed in a trail of smoke, indicating a possible catastrophic external event contributed to the incident.

Please re-read my post and notice that I didn't make any point condemning any satellite / anti-satellite launch. I was merely referring to the needless marketing by the Prime Minister, who brought time to a standstill to make the announcement, with some gullible sections of the media and populace lapping it up without spotting any ulterior motives politically.

I don't want to pick a fight with you (or anybody else) on the basis of some stupid politician anyway. They're all scums, and I'm the biggest one of them all - I don't even have a voter ID and have never voted in any election in my life.

By that logic, lets wait for the Pakistan economy to be rebased. Because it's expected to grow to 400-500 billion just from that.
 
Surprised by the reaction, the real reason by India is not clubbed with African nations is its military might. The same applies to Pakistan and many other Asian countries.

A country needs hard power, not just soft power. It's plain western propaganda and hegemony otherwise.

oho.....From polluting own environment in Earth, to doing same in space -both US and India.

========


The head of NASA has branded India's destruction of one of its satellites — that created 400 pieces of orbital debris and led to new dangers for astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) — a “terrible thing”.

Jim Bridenstine was addressing employees of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on Monday, five days after India shot down a low-orbiting satellite in a missile test to prove it was among the world's advanced space powers.

Not all of the pieces were big enough to track, Bridenstine explained.

“What we are tracking right now, objects big enough to track — we're talking about 10 centimeters [six inches] or bigger — about 60 pieces have been tracked.”

The Indian satellite was destroyed at a relatively low altitude of 180 miles [300 kilometers], well below the ISS and most satellites in orbit. But 24 of the pieces “are going above the apogee of the International Space Station”, said Bridenstine.

“That is a terrible, terrible thing to create an event that sends debris at an apogee that goes above the International Space Station,” he continued, adding: “That kind of activity is not compatible with the future of human spaceflight.”

“It's unacceptable and Nasa needs to be very clear about what its impact to us is.”

The US military tracks objects in space to predict the collision risk for the ISS and for satellites. They are currently tracking 23,000 objects larger than 10 centimeters. That includes about 10,000 pieces of space debris, of which nearly 3,000 were created by a single event: a Chinese anti-satellite test in 2007 at 530 miles from the surface.

As a result of the Indian test, the risk of collision with the ISS has increased by 44 percent over 10 days, Bridenstine said. The risk, however, will dissipate over time as much of the debris will burn up as it enters the atmosphere.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi last week announced that the country had destroyed a low-orbiting satellite in a missile test, becoming the fourth country in the world to have carried out the feat.

"This is a proud moment for India," the prime minister had said in his first televised national address since late 2016.

"India has registered its name in the list of space superpowers. Until now, only three countries had achieved this feat," he said, just weeks before the country goes to the polls.

Pakistan, in a statement through the Foreign Office, had stated it "has been a strong proponent of the prevention of arms race in outer space".

The statement asserted that space is a "common heritage of mankind" and as such responsibility falls on every nation "to avoid actions which can lead to the militarisation of this arena".

Boo hoo!! Third world countries are not allowed to have new age weapons. Should only be with the Uncles, so they can sell it to us at over inflated prices
 
Nasa: India's satellite destruction could endanger ISS

Nasa has called India's destruction of a satellite a "terrible thing" that could threaten the International Space Station (ISS).

The space agency's chief, Jim Bridenstine, said that the risk of debris colliding with the ISS had risen by 44% over 10 days due to the test.

However he said: "The international space station is still safe. If we need to manoeuvre it we will."

India is the fourth country to have carried out such a test.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the test - Mission Shakti - with great fanfare on 27 March, saying it had established India as a "space power".

In an address to employees, Mr Bridenstine sharply criticised the testing of such anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons.

He said that Nasa had identified 400 pieces of orbital debris and was tracking 60 pieces larger than 10cm in diameter. Twenty-four of those pieces pose a potential risk to the ISS, he said.

Mission Shakti: Space debris warning after India destroys satellite
US to set up new military 'space force'
"That is a terrible, terrible thing to create an event that sends debris in an apogee that goes above the International Space Station. And that kind of activity is not compatible with the future of human spaceflight that we need to see have happen."

A day after India successfully carried out its ASAT test, acting US defence secretary Patrick Shanahan warned that the event could create a "mess" in space but said Washington was still studying the impact.

Delhi has insisted it carried out the test in low-earth orbit, at an altitude of 300km (186 miles), to not leave space debris that could collide with the ISS or satellites.


Media captionIs India's prime minister right when he calls his country a space superpower?
"That's why we did it at lower altitude, it will vanish in no time," G Satheesh Reddy, the chief of India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, told Reuters in an interview last week.

Mr Bridenstine said that it was true that this would eventually happen. "The good thing is, it's low enough in Earth orbit that over time this will all dissipate," he said.

China provoked international alarm with a similar test in 2007. The Nasa chief said "a lot" of the debris created by that test remained in orbit. The US military is in total tracking about 10,000 pieces of space debris, nearly a third of which is said to have been created by the Chinese test.

Arms control advocates have expressed concern about the increasing militarisation of space. ASAT technology would allow India to take out the satellites of enemy powers in any conflict, and the test is likely to fuel the growing regional rivalry between India and China.

The announcement also angered opposition parties in India, who have accused Mr Modi of using the test as a political stunt ahead of a general election. Indians will begin voting in national elections on 11 April.

China created 1/3rd of the 10000 debris. NASA gave same statement then.

lol, so now a ***** is saying that 99% of Indian electorate as illiterate. Had being literate been stronger suit of bhakts, India won't have been down in dumps as it is today.

Fiscal deficit, lol, farmer suicides and unemployment are at an all time high and this ***** will tell me that fiscal deficit is the most important issue for India! No wonder you've been brainwashed to the core by sanghis.

Bhakts never cease to amaze me!

Abey stop with your insults , do you see me calling you names ?

illiterate may be not , but a large section which cannot understand the only way you can solve core issues is by fiscal prudence , increased tax base , investments in the long run

Did you seriously expect a Govt to solve these problems which where inherited cos of years of mess up by previous govts in 5 years . How about tell us the real reason rather than hide behind Farmer suicides and unemployment etc ?

Will that all time high Sensex give employment to unemployed and stop farmers' committing suicides on daily basis? If it does, I'm all for it to scale newer heights.

Can you enlighten us with the solution for these problems ? Am sure there is a instant fix you are aware of all these economists in the country are missing
 
Why would I hide behind farmer suicides and unemployment? Just because ruling dispensation conveniently ignores these core issues, means that everyone else too?

Do not forget, these issues cost BJP big time in assembly elections last December and may not be as small issues as you may pretend them to be.

Yeah, same old convenient excuse that all previous govts did nothing since independence and India came into being on 26-May-2014....I guess all these institutions, technology etc also came into being when Modi took over.

Thats why it is so futile to argue with people of your ilk.

See what did you just call me! There isn't a bigger hypocrite than you, can't practice what you preach. Now calling one ***** is an abuse. Point taken.

Fiscal prudence? That doesn't seem to be the case how Modi splurges on his useless foreign jaunts! India's foreign relations are at their all time low...We spent way beyond on printing new notes due to old notes being demonetized. Rafale is another glaring example.

That's fiscal prudence, a la Modi/Jaitley style.

Investments, do you even know how much FDI has Gujarat got despite all those glitzy Vibrant Gujarat summits happening every year?

I wonder who was the biggest opponent of GST and FDI in retail if he was so economy friendly....

One GREAT economist implemented an instant fix which entailed sudden demonetization of 87% of total currency notes in circulation which is the only mode of financial transaction in this largely unorganized sector, a sector which neither have means to get into electronic mode of payments/receipts nor do they have necessary technological infrastructure/know-how at their disposal.

Another would be to haphazardly introduce GST, by calling a midnight session of parliament, no less.

I'm just kidding bro, these western countries pretend that only India or China using these weapons caused debris while their satellites evaporated instead :)))

Do you know that, or is it just an assumption? I would be surprised if western countries were ignorant of debris fallout after missile tests, but if they are, then China and India are both welcome to point out the hypocrisy.

I almost dont want to respond to this . your knowledge is clearly from all the stupid watsapp forwards which get circulated .
To even bring a PMs travel expenses as an argument is a joke , but ok if thats your concern the expenditure is not more than 300-500 crore per year in comparison our total expenditure is in the range of 24 lack crores .
Secondly our relationship with most countries has improved , stop making up stuff .
Demonetisation ? Rafale ? FDI in retail ? Gujrat ?
you have no clue do you ?
