@BishtLokinder @hemantsarin @kamlesm @DalrympleWill @calijignasa @lndica02 Egypt was the trade center between India and Rome during Kushan and Gupta periods. Infact, one reason Rome put extra effort to conquer Red Sea ports in Egypt was to control trade with India and duties it produced.

3000 years before Islamic religion was even born, Indians played chess. A complete chess board dating back to 2400 BC has been found at Lothal(IVC) Chess is NOT Islamic invention. Islamic prophet said playing Chess was like eating Pork. STOP stealing every invention of others

@GabbbarSingh Many fallacies : 1. Russian nation state is much older than India, so discontent is much more. Also more centralized and hierarchical. 2. Indian army is a continuation of British Indian army which was optimized to not be rebellious after 1857. {150 years of social engineering}

@cvkrishnan Looks like an excuse. 10-20 k people migrating to high risk zones doesn't effect HR pool that much in India. Their HR department seems to be bad {as others who complain about lack of people}. Companies need to figure out how to build HR pipeline if they aren't getting readily.

@IndianTechGuide It looks like a method to induce more nepotism. Very few self made leaders are visible at 18. Not a lot are even visible at 25, and thus, although 25 is the contesting age, hardly anyone gets elected. What we need is an upper cap on age, say 75.
