Not the last word, but the clarity.

 

Even in this thread many people are trying to explain what happened. Why does it has to be so difficult?

 

Where is simple message for the country? Some of the SM geniuses coming up theory and trying to say "you must understand this" "you must understand that". All this means you're not sure.

 

Actually in most wars / conflicts, it is better to fester ambiguity than give clarity. It doesn't allow your enemy to position. 

 

In my view, people are expecting one pagers are missing the point. Put it simply, nothing has changed. There is a pause. Wait and watch. But nothing has changed.

Online Hindutva trolls have damaged India more than anyone else in recent few years. 

 

 

How come you name Hindutva now? And why not say Trolling has no religion?  So some online Falana trolls caused more damage than the Islamist Trolls who killed 26 Hindus and caused India to retaliate. I’d say Kohli fans caused more damage with rape threats to all who takes his wicket!

Because the BJP SM handlers (not worried about country but their party) are active on social media, it tells me that the feeling in the party is that this has gone South

 

  at the multiple laughable theories being propagated! Though it shows they are clutching at the straws.

Just random opinions used by BJP probably.

 

If anyone is posting such misleading info as if truth, you have to assume political motivations.

 

There are no truth. There are only perspectives in fog of war. This is one. Probably doesn't suit you and understandably so. 

 

India's current defence export to africa is circa 3bn growing at 12%. Good showing of weapons in live war scenario increases demand and prices. Same happened in Ukraine.

But then why post inaccurate fog of war tweets here?

 

Countries look for a variety of weapons in a variety of price bands - unless we know in what category the arms compete, it is relatively pointless. Also African countries likely seek value than advance tech, etc.

They literally swept panchayat elections in Assam today.

 

 

Your grip of indian politics is poor. Best you not comment.

You're assuming the operation is still on. Hope you are right

I have no issues with who wins elections as I don’t support any political party in general - the “all crows are black” stance. Many times we are picking the least worst option.

 

I have never voted in any election despite people urging me to. So you are right that I don’t necessarily follow election results. I can work with whoever is in power. 

 

I am more concerned with the manipulations by politicians, policies, corruption, government strategies and tactics of the GOI (irrespective of the party in power).

Your charts didn't make any sense in this context. What has world's biggest exporters data got to do with that tweet ? Seems like you are the one misleading.

 

The original tweet simply said that perfomance of indigenous weapons would give Indian companies am edge in African market. No rocket science. Wars are used to test weapons and bargain contracts. Now by edge, the tweet didn't imply that it will make India biggest exporter in the world. But every weapon mfg observes perfomance and takes notes. 

 

Not sure why you had feel insecure by that statement. Defence sector is massive opportunity for growth in india because it's at a low base. Edge is not technology but cost.  Already grown 50x in 3 years. People can make money including so called global citizens.

Ok.

 

But the reading that things have politically gone south for the bjp is far from the case.

 

Iaf will release key details just before assembly elections in bihar or wb.

Its not just india. South korea is offering very good products at a fraction of the price of europe or usa.

 

Blunt truth. Western products dont make sense for the money.

See re the authenticity. Pak are claiming and indian female pilot is in custody. Now thats is so easy to verify as bs.

That is the kind of manipulation that I am against, using GOI for party benefits.

 

A few months ago when some elections in India were on, I was at an airport. People in my seating area were discussing elections. Ram Mandir was in news and everyone in that group was like - “see elections are here so Ram Mandir is back - as if the temple issue progresses in phases aligned with elections”.
