Hollywood, comics, video games made them super popular. Same with the Japanese regarding samurais/ninjas etc. When India becomes rich enough to have equal capabilities to produce art at that scale for global consumption (not talking about cringe Bollywood stuff) it will all become very popular. I would expect a huge wave sometime in the 2040s onwards. RRR is an example. Slight cheese (but not to the level of most Indian films) but really well made and made a splash. There should be movies, games of Indians in WWI (beating Turkish ass), WWII, chola, ahom, sikh, maratha etc empires. There is nothing like USA. The Americans are the only people who truly live in reality. Every other nation tries to cope and fabricate spiritual, philosophical bullshit to cope with their existence. The Americans believe themselves to be made in the image of God and think that everything is their right . America isn't just a country. It's a physical manifestation of greatness in all spheres of life. Spirituality, nature, materialism, politics, intellect, knowledge, war, love, hate etc. In a way it's truly a country that is alive and in touch with all human emotions and sensations. Their hegemony won't ever be over. Indians can never be them. We need massive mindset shift almost close to altering our DNA. A revolution of some sorts. Vicks57 and randomGuy 1 1
cowboysfan Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 whatever we do we should not expect any help from the US with Trump as President,they are happy to burn down their own country to own the liberals and they will not help any other country.we should be very wary of Chinese misadventures along LOC too .

straighttalk Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 6 hours ago, MechEng said: @deathmonger as much as I respect film making art from Southern India, RRR is a horrible movie and we will be seen as a laughing stock rather than being respected if this movie represents us on global stage. Edit: India will not achieve the soft power hegemony like the US did, let's be real. US gained prominence due to heavy backing from the Allied powers, South Korean and Japanese entertainment too gets a lot of backing from the US. India doesn't enjoy that kind of privilege, plus not being a first world country too plays a role here. Bollywood is extremely popular in Africa China and Russia

rangeelaraja Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 (edited) Question for airforce enthusiasts : @Gollum @Lone Wolf @Muloghonto Can S400 for the most part not make most of PAF impotent ? It can pick up and track jets 300-400 Kms deep into their territory and take it down if airborne - I believe this is the reason why Ukraine was forced to use drones and their jets were rendered useless against Ruskies ( I could be wrong here ) If this is not the case - what edge does s400 exactly bring ?

S-400 is a high altitude missile tracker radar. Missiles usually have 10% the radar cross section of a fighter jet ( not stealth) and usually flies 3x faster. Asking a missile tracker radar if it can track a jet is like asking Tendulkar if he can handle Hardik Pandya after he beats the **** outta Dale Steyn. rangeelaraja 1

Then it means that all PAF jets that are airborne within 300 kms of the border are easy pickings. Correct ?
bharathh Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 Waterflow in Chenab stopped and Jhelum to be stopped as well. Will this force Pak to take the aggressive step? Pak riverbanks are already drying up. rangeelaraja and ravishingravi 2
bharathh Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 Anticipating terror cells being given the greenlight to cause mayhem in India. Would avoid public places here in India if you have the option.

S400 is highly vulnerable against MLRS rocket barrages as we saw in various other conflicts. Fatah 1, Fatah 2 and Chinese made A100 MBRL pose a threat. S400 brings a sizeable edge against PAF make no mistake. I think Two units are still delayed coz of Russia Ukraine War. rangeelaraja 1
bharathh Posted May 5, 2025 Posted May 5, 2025 Apparently all the dams are going to be de-silted and maintenance work to be started. I hope they have AA missiles set up for a warm welcome. rangeelaraja and ravishingravi 2

That I dunno. How well a radar tracks you doesn't automatically translate to how well the missile guided by that radar can find you and kill you. On paper they should be the same thing but I am not radar expert but I do have technical background and I know book theorem rarely work out perfectly in real life. But to be honest, all aircraft pilots are like Frodo Baggins : they **** themselves when they put on the ring and get spotted IMMEDIATELY by the eye of sauron- they don't stick around till the nazgul show up to do something about it. They immediately gtfo if they get unmasked by ground radar. rangeelaraja 1

That's not just s-400. Every anti missile AD system is deadmeat to mrls. Our pinaka can absolutely crush the latest patriot battery as well. Because anti missile AD is a very specific thing and it's like Virat Kohli batting against pacers in Australia. The mrls vs missile AD is basically now asking Kohli to bat against Muralitharan in galle. No Bueno. Edited May 5, 2025 by Muloghonto rangeelaraja and Lone Wolf 1 1

Yeah American HIMARS system is top notch to destroy any AD Systems I wish we had 150 km range Indigenous MLRS in like 500+... Pinaka units are too few and lesser range.
