Stop confusing disloyalty with dissent!! No this isn't misquoting Edward R Murrow's iconic “Good night and good luck "speech. And god knows, on our side of the aisle, I am amongst the least trigger happy people to use words like traitors/anti-national/ gaddar etc, but a line was crossed, twice, in last two days and that must not go unchallenged. First, yesterday, the entire mainstream media contingent went completely cuckoo when the puppet pm of our rogue neighbor announced that the captured Indian pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan will be released tomorrow. The Indian elite msm was hailing the puppet PM for his statesmanship and peacefulness like a terrorist organization harbored by his government didn't murder 44 of our brave CRPF men two weeks ago! Praising Pak in this context es...

In desperation to remain relevant so as to engineer a proletarian utopia, Indian intellectuals go beyond interpreting the world for the people; they prescribe the world and construct a reality which has no material foundation.  Jyotirmaya Tripathy Indian intellectuals are acutely aware of their growing irrelevance in contemporary times, not just because the present political dispensation does not recognize their birth-right of representing others, but also due to their own sinking realization that ordinary folks no longer believe in them. In desperation to remain relevant so as to engineer a proletarian utopia, they go beyond interpreting the world for the people; they prescribe the world and construct a reality which has no material foundation.

It refers to senior BJP leader in Madhya Pradesh Satyanarainan (Sattan) opposing candidature of Lok Sabha Speaker Sunitra Mahajan from Indore Lok Sabha constituency alleging she has not been in touch with party-workers even though she represents Indore ever since the year 1989.

IDBI Bank to be considered as private bank after LIC of India gets 51-percent stake?

IDBI Bank to be considered as private bank after LIC of India gets 51-percent stake?

It refers to media-reports that public-sector IDBI Bank will be considered as a private-sector bank after public-sector LIC of India gets 51-perecent controlling stake in IDBI Bank. Undoubtedly IDBI Bank till now was not listed amongst other public-sector banks because earlier it was a government-owned Financial Institution and thus a public-authority. Also LIC of India as public-sector autonomous body has its own style of professional functioning. There are also reports that the bank will be named as LIC IDBI Bank. Confusion must not be created about IDBI Bank under control of LIC of India to be a private bank. The bank should be categorised as premium public-sector bank which may provide fancy banking on lines of private-sector banks with higher service-charges but with five-starred f...
Standardize consumables in car-industry

Standardize consumables in car-industry

addtop, BREAKING NEWS, TOP STORIES, आर्थिक
Union government should induce standardization of common accessories like tyres and batteries so that same parts may be used in different models of cars produced by various car-manufacturers. It will heavily bring down cost of consumables through their bumper production in extra large numbers in some limited sizes and specifications. It can be achieved by merging some nearing sizes and specifications. Such guidelines though also mentioned in auto-policy of Union government, are never followed in actual practice. Too many variants of any car-model confuse customers. There may be just two variants apart from the third with automatic gears, one basic Lx for economy customers and the other Vx with all company-fitted extra accessories and luxuries for affording customers. There is no sense in ...

Union Ministry of Road Transport permitted each manufacturer of cars and motor-bikes to import upto 2500 units of imported ones and also permitting upto 500 buses and trucks separately by each manufacturing company irrespective of price and engine-capacity. But there should be a pre-condition that foreign companies may help setting up of plants by concerned Indian companies to manufacture such vehicles in India too if so desired. To discourage use of economical diesel, cars and motor-bikes should be allowed only with petrol-engines. Import-duty on imported vehicles should be quite high because only affording ones can purchase these. At the same time, central government should take steps to discourage costly vehicles by having double GST may be in form of cess on costlier cars and motor-...

Palm fossils suggest Tibet had high mountains and deep valleys

Palm fossils suggest Tibet had high mountains and deep valleys

BREAKING NEWS, विश्लेषण
Tibetan plateau is believed to have been formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates 50 million years ago. But a new study has now suggested that Tibet may not have been a plateau all the time and perhaps had high mountains and deep valleys – topography and climate good enough for subtropical plants to grow. The conclusion is based on discovery of fossils of palm leaves estimated to be 25 million years old. The palm fossils were found from the sediments of the Lunpola basin by Professor Tao Su of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2016. The fossils have prominent spine-like structures at the base of the leaf blades, differentiating them from palm fossils found before. By studying the fossil and combining the knowledge ...
