What makes you believe that 1.75 trillion (the highest figure)is the right figure? <br />2G spectrum was not auctioned in 2008 and 3G spectrum was auctioned last year.<br />If a 2G auction is held today it would NOT raise the Rs.700 billion that the 3G auction did! <br /><br />3G is technically much more superior to 2G. Contrary to belief 3G is not just for the rich. 3G can be used as a substitute for 2G - to sustain their normal services like voice calls without call drops.<br />Hence, telcos were liable to bid much more to acquire 3G spectrum than what they did for 2G. <br /><br />If we go by your explanation then shouldnt Maruti 800s be more valuable than a Mercedes because the not many Indians can buy a Merc?<br /><br />Shouldnt gold be more valuable than platinum because Indians have huge demand for gold? Yet platinum is more expensive.<br />Yes Raja screwed up and he should be shot in the back of his head.<br /><br />I suggest you not believe everything that is fed to you through overzealous news channels. <br />Get your own perspective man!ArkAngelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-56336269113264022632011-01-24T06:12:07.460+05:302011-01-24T06:12:07.460+05:30@anon 10:25 pm

Regarding defending antony, I am not defending him because he is from my state but because I admire him during his tenure as Chief minister of Kerala. His looks are not great, neither he speaks great but he performed his role as a minister very well and commanded respect even from the rival communists.<br />Another thing is Dhoti is still worn by a significant population in south india. We have schools who makes it mandatory to wear traditional dress on some days. White shirt and dhoti is the marriage attire for south indian hindus.<br />It is high time the north indians show some respect to their fellow citizens from south.

Take the case of Ghori who had faught and lost many times against indian rulers.<br />Soldier and ruler are different. You can take the example of Pakistan, Burma etc where Soldier becomes ruler.

I don't mind your defense of the dhoti, but here's some simple education for you.<br /><br />The trouble is that before the British, India DID NOT have a good army: that is why they were beaten badly by the Afghans, and Afghans ended up ruling most of India, albeit as different countries as vassals to Delhi and Kabul.<br /><br />Modern warfare does not encourage dhotis in battle: if that was the case, the Israelis and Japanese and Americans and all would have switched to it. Dhotis are an INEFFICIENT way of dressing in modern warfare. Are you going to ask the entire Indian military to switch to the dhoti? Get real!<br /><br />You can perform martial arts in Kerala in a gymnasium wearing the dhoti. Very good! But, that's for the gymnasium, not on the real battlefield in snowy mountains or hot deserts, or jungles of Assam and Burma.<br /><br />Listen, anon at 11:40. Get real! Wear your dhoti at home! Wear smart trousers at a formal military parade. And, if you can, increase your height, as well! This dhotiwala in the picture would never be accepted as a soldier owing to his short height!<br /><br />As for policy making without knowing the subject matter, it is a disaster when the minister of health isn't a medical person; when the minister of education has never taught in the classroom; when the minister of transportation has never worked at a construction site; OR when the minister of defense has never got his butt kicked on the battlefield.<br /><br />So, as I said before, time to kick this one's butt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050542.post-26925900699437834932011-01-23T02:14:28.354+05:302011-01-23T02:14:28.354+05:30@ ArkAngel...
