Truth-sayer Thapar exposes Indian subterfuge in talks

Share

I want to ask a controversial question this Sunday morning: how much of the blame for last week’s Indo-Pakistan denouement lies with India? Could it be the case that there was a gap between our public pronouncements and our actual position? As a result, did we lead Pakistan up the garden path only to disappoint [...]

'$35' tablet joke: Makes India a laughing stock of the world

Share

You don’t launch products until you have a product to launch. Else it’s vapourware.
You also don’t re-invent the wheel. We already have $35 computing devices. We call them mobile phones.
They’re capable, connected, always on, personal, and every second Indian has one. They’re an ideal front-end to information, communications and entertainment, served over voice, SMS or data.
It isn’t the government’s job to create and sell cheap PCs.
The government is wasting its efforts and making Indian technology a laughing stock of the world.

Talking to India is insane

Share

Both sides have come to the same conclusion. There is no point in talking. The Indian National Congress is under extreme pressure from the BJP and other Hindu Mahasabah parties for talking to Pakistan. Progress in negotiations with Pakistan are usually sabotaged by a small cabal of bigots who hold the reins of power in Dlehi. This is exactly what happened in Agra. An agreed upon document was withdrawn and the Pakistani delegation returned without any signatures–sending the peace process a decade behind. Uttara Choudhury in a vituperative diatribe (Talking to Pakistan is a fools errand) that accentuates the authors usual Pakhsitanphobia, and various authors in the Hindustan Times and the Times of India have excoriated their government for talking peace with Pakistan.

Can India get Taiwan to make $35 Tablet?

Share

In typical media hyperbole which send the entire population into a tizzy fit, some Bharatis (aka Indian) have announced a $35 Tablet. When one reads the details, the real story comes out. Mr. Mamta Varma has not found a local backer of his project and there is only lukewarm news about the possibility of a manufacturer in Taiwan that can possibly make the tablet and keep the price at $35.

PC world for one is not impressed by the news and is skeptical that the price can be kept so low. If the tablet is going to be manufactured in China (Taiwan), then can it really be called an “Indian” tablet.

India's Quixotic hulla balloo at NSG

Share

India’s suicidal Charge of the Light Brigade is as futile as Don Quixote’s useless attack on the windmills. “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury–signifying nothing.” It is pedagogical to note the Chinese response to the Bharati noise. “I think we should abolish the NSG,” “Every country whether an [...]
