- Best way to tell whether a movie will do well or bomb at the box office?
- Get it reviewed by 'journalist' and film reviewer Anna Vetticad.
- She's an amazing record of giving high ratings to films that bomb at the box office! 😂
BTW, this 'journalist' who has issue with stereotype of Kshatriyas shown as rulers in #Bahubali but applauds villain being shown as a Brahmin in #Shamshera, takes offence when a lady of supposedly lose character in a movie (as per her) is named as Veronica!
- And it does not end here. She even has issue with 'reformed' Veronica praying to Hindu god/goddess!
- Funny bit here is that movie does not say that Veronica is a Christian but madam has taken offense at a mere name.
- Any wonder her 'reviews' are so jaundiced and Hinduphobic?

@elmihiro @arzandc This is the ground reality, one can slice & dice it anyway one wants:
1. In the 90s and before 2014, the Chinese managed to claim & occupy 100s of sq.km of Indian territory with only a couple of Border Defense Regiments (BDR).
2. The Chinese literally fingered +
@elmihiro @arzandc + India so much that the Indian Army started a process of bringing existing formations back to their original strength (diluted earlier as troops were moved into Kashmir for CI Ops) and adding new formations.
3. This happened in Eastern Ladakh, Himachal-Tibet border, and +
@elmihiro @arzandc + Uttarakhand-Tibet border. Plus, Sikkim-Tibet sector.
4. Has anyone tried to understand why the Chinese went to such a great length to induct troops from outside Tibet this time as they tried to grab more territory?
5. Answer lies in what happened in September 2014 in Chumur +

Honestly, haven't read a more pedestrian article on India's defense R&D. There is a lack of understanding about Indian defense set-up at a fundamental level amongst out IR community. One could write a small book pointing out the errors in this piece. Quite pathetic.
Let me take one example from this - NAG ATGM.
- If the authors had done their research, they would not have lamented on its timeline.
- Why?
- Because if you compare the timeline for induction of other 3rd Generation, Fire & Forget ATGMs, NAG is more or less on time + Image
+
- Not only that, it had to meet extreme user (Indian Army) expectations, which no other 3rd Gen, F&F ATGM has been able to meet.
- And except for Israel's Spike LR, there is no other 3rd Gen, F&F missile in same range class as NAG ATGM.
- Plus, look at the benefits + Image

- In spite of how much I hate the casualness towards abortion reflected in this story, I think we've a bigger issue at hand, recourse to, and availability of abortion facility might be the only solution.
- Read on.
- Look around yourself. Casual sex is an society wide phenomenon+
+ which is not restricted to South Bombay or South Delhi.
- Its happening everywhere from cities to villages.
- The average age of boys and girls having intercourse has gone down drastically.
- All you've to do is go to any porn aggregator website and you'll see 000s of videos +
+ shot by youngsters themselves. You can make out their age and the fact that these videos are coming from all over the country.
- What happens when a girl becomes pregnant as a teenager or even older?
- The lady in the story from Instagram comes from a family where she can post+

[Tour of Duty]
- Discussion and analysis on this important change int he manpower policy of the armed forces.
I'll hold my tongue on this TOD for now but I'll say this -
- Move towards creation of All India, All Class Infantry Regiments is a welcome development.
- While the Regiment system will remain, the composition of troops will be change to reflect all India character of the Army + Image
+
- This change is important because (a) you want to draw amongst the best talent available (b) It helps to mitigate against fissiparous tendencies.
- You don't want repeat of 1984 when some Battalions of Sikh Regiment and recruits at its training center mutinied and had to +

#RussianUkrainianWar - Tank in modern warfare & Indian context.
- Pictures of destroyed Russian T-series tanks in Ukraine have raised questions about the viability of tanks in modern warfare. Again.
- And people are questioning their relevance in Indian context as well.
+
- 1st, I don't take the no about Russian tanks loses in Ukraine at face value.
- There is a 'famous' blog which has been documenting these loses, and to be honest, its far less than convincing.
- There is just too much western propaganda out there on the subject.
+
+
[Tanks versus missiles]
- ATGM vs Tank debate has existed even since the Egyptians surprised Israeli armor during Yom Kippur War using the Russian AT-3 'Swagger (9M14 'Malyutka')
- Israelis lost ~800 tanks during the war and the ATGM accounted for 20%-25% of these loses.

(A) Phalodi Air Force Base
- Someone time back my friend @orbatnoob_3 had highlighted how the IAF Base in Phalodi was nicely coming-up.
- In this thread 🧵, I'll show how this base fills a critical gap in IAF's infrastructure in Western Sector.
+
+
- As the map below shows, IAF's bases form a chain with each base separated by 130-150km.
- These are India's first line of air-defense against intruding Pakistan Air Force fighters, base for conducting strike inside Pakistan and to provide ground support in their sector.
+
+
- These bases are so sited so as to deny PAF access to India's hinterland.
- But as the map shows, there are two geographical gaps in this chain.
- 1st: Jaisalmer(1)-Bikaner(2) (265km)
- 2nd: Bhuj-Barmer (360km if I trace a path inside India territory - curved red arrow).
