    Laptop for office use ~20K

    1) What is your budget? (INR or USD) 20K max 2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer? Any size would do.. 3) What are the primary tasks you will be performing with this notebook? It is needed for presentations, so must have that projector port...

    Redmi Mi Note Pro - language problem..

    I recently got a new Mi Note Pro for my dad from China.. The phone is just awesome, the feel, build and camera quality are just perfect but the thing that i did not know is that since it has not been out for global release, many of the internal (pre-loaded apps) are in Chinese.. I tried changing...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    You are making an assumption of 'either or or', either Gandhi or Bose but the fact that Bose had announced that the INA would not attack in India untill Gandhi did not ask them to is enough to see that post independence, there would not just be 'Bose + 500 more violent revolutionary' but Bose +...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    Britain attacking India once the independence was won and the WWII was over was not a possibility and the fact that they had to take a loan of 400 million USD just to keep their domestic economy going is the proof of it.. Secondly, USA would not have dared to bomb India just on the context that...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    Edited.. No idea about Nathuram Godse, will have to go through his book of reasons for assassinating Gandhi.. And British could not use any more of violence as half of its British official in India had already deserted their posts and gone back (eg: for 65 ICS posts in Bengal, there were...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    I'l have to watch the movie but i guess that scene was of the Dharasana Salt factory that was being raided by Sarojinin Naidu and Gandhi's son plus some 2000 more agitators.. - - - Updated - - - What i'm pointing out in my discussion here is that had Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    What i wanted to put light on was that Gandhi sometimes choose means which were not understood by anyone including his close ones such as Nehru.. Like Gandhi's statement during the Tripuri session that Bose's win as Congress president was not Pattabhi Sitaramayya's defeat (Bose's rival in the...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    I wouldnt bet my money on that because post every big movement that happened, the common people or the masses were let down by Gandhi in some way or the other.. Eg: When after the Chauri Chaura incident, Gandhi called off the Non Cooperation Movement the whole nation was in shock and disbelief...

    Jawahar Lal Nehru referred to Subhas Chandra Bose as a 'war criminal'

    I'm not trying to belittle Gandhi but the truth is that B.G.Tilak had introduced the same revolutionary ideas (Civil Disobedience, Non-Cooperation & Congress Working Committees) as early as in the late 1890's but was rebuked for the same.. Gandhi might have had a little bit of luck on his hand...

    discuss Indian Modern History (20th Century)

    We have it easy now (besides the anti-nationalist debates and the sporadic terrorist attacks which i believe can be handled with a strict national defense policy). Back then we fought 4 wars ('48 -Tribal invasion, '62, '65, '71) plus the acute food shortage (PL - 480) and the Indira Gandhi...

    discuss Indian Modern History (20th Century)

    Bose would have not mattered at all.. India was suffering from poverty from the mid-18th century.. Getting the poverty stricken people to a normal livable state and then arming them with mobiles/p.c that too with good broadband is still a herculean task today (we have meager 15-20% broadband to...
