The year is 2059. China's economy is in trouble. Years of reckless spending and debt, is causing massive Unrest in the countryside. The hold of the Communist party is becoming tenous, by the day. They need to do something to sort it out.
Under the Guise of a Naval Exercise a huge Fleet sails from Yulin Base in China towards the Arabian Sea.

As India is in the middle of some protest against the Govt for not allowing the Farmers to trade in USD, the Fleet is ignored.

Then suddenly the Fleet turns towards Mumbai
Chinese launch a full fledged invasion of Mumbai, hoping to curtail the financial muscle of India and divert attention from the domestic problems.

Initial invasion is successful, though Chinese incur some casualties by accidentally consuming Mumbai's Chinese food.
But overall the invasion is going well. They March inland towards the other side of the city.

And then they reach Saki Naka.

Where they get bogged down, badly.

They have no idea how to get out.

Which is when the Indian army launches a Counterattack and annihilates them.
Saki Naka.. The first line of Indian Defence, against an invasion from the west..

India's first railway coach, the ICF coach, was imported in 1955

The next coach we imported, the LHB, was in 2000

For 55 years we ran with a coach that was made before Ben Hur

After running the first LHB train in 2003, in the next 10 years, we made 2000 of these new coaches
You know how many we LHB coaches we have made from 2014 to 2021.

11200.
In the last five years, the average LHB coaches manufactured per year, exceeds the total number manufactured in previous decade.

Something has defintely changed in IR.
What do these LHB coaches do?

Higher speed, more stability, more comfort, more safety, de coaches don't topple or climb over one another in an accident. They Kill less people

And Despite having de capability to make the new Coach, the previous govt refused to do it for 10 years

Different Categories of Two Wheeler Riders in India

1. The Carrier : The person the thinks the 2 in Two wheeler is just a suggestion. Be it rain or shine there are never less than 4 people on his bike

When you see from behind there are only 2. But 2 more are squeezed in between
The Kamikaze : The people in this category are reincarnations of Japanese Kamikaze pilots from WW2. They will dive at your vehicle, from all directions, mostly at the last minute.

The Kamikaze Pilots used to have a siren. These guys have horns.
The Gap Finder : These guys are experts in finding gaps where none exist. If even one cm of edge of their tire fits in a gap, they usually drive the bike thru it. A few broken side mirrors or bruises to Pedestrians, is just collateral damage in their quest to conquer the gap.

South Seas Trading company was a joint stock company, was formed in 1711 at the peak of the war of the Spanish Succession.

South Seas, at that time referred to the continent of South America, which was majorly controlled by Spain and Portugal.
But the fun part was, when the company was formed, the company had no business. Yes, the British Govt gave it the sole trading rights for slaves in the South Seas, but, as the area was controlled by Spain, no trade was possible.
The War ended but nothing happened.

Then the Brits and Spanish fought another war. That war ended in 1720.

Now that peace came, South Seas went to town saying they had sole rights for all the gold booty that was there in the South Seas.

Jarasandha, the ruler of Magadha, was one of the most powerful rulers in that era. He was also the Father in Law of Kansa.

Now when Kansa was killed by Krishna, a side effect was to anger Jarasandha. He vowed to kill the guy who widowed his daughter.
As Kauravas later found out later, it was not an easy task.

But Jarasandha didn't give up. Some say, he attacked 23 times. He was defeated every single time.

Yet didn't give up.

He formed an alliance and decided to attack Mathura again from all directions.
By This time Lord Krishna realized the suffering his people were going thru

So he decided enough was enough and retreated to Dwarka

Some people called him a coward. They named him "Ranchod", means a guy who runs away from the battlefield

Some pointed this out to Lord Krishna
