Re: Nukkad
Amazing pic of recently updated Hollongi-Itanagar Highway. (from SSC forum)... Looks like that was tweeted by Kiren Rijiju himself, so must be authentic. Looks awesome for sure - such roads will do wonders for the local economy, especially tourism. Any idea if the Guwahati-Shillong 4-lane upgrade g...

^^ Sure, that works. Or why not simply stick to the parent forum's system? As Dileep saar says, we are a branch of the tharavaad and all that.

Re: Forum Technical Issues
I just noticed we are assigning mil ranks to posters instead of BGR newbie, BGRite, BGR Oldie, etc. I always felt those mil ranked forums were childish and serious forums should not go down that path. Plus, mil ranks are earned by real warriors who work in the field, so should we use them for keyboa...

I have kept the older theme on BRF, so I can tell the difference. I actually wanted to ask if we can get the older BRF theme here as well

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
Didn't Modi famously say he was a "Hindu nationalist", and proudly? Where did that go when Harsh Vardhan tweeted in support of the Deepavali ban? Like it or not, Modi did play the Hindu card in the run up to 2014, and folks now justifying his keeping quiet 'cos he didn't sign anything about these th...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
It's very simple. Had the govt argued for not banning firecrackers in the SC, and still lost, no one here will be blaming Modi or the govt. But the govt through the CPCB actually supported the ban, which was confirmed publicly by a top minister on Twitter. That he deleted the tweet shows the backlas...

since morning Anupam Kher has gone berserk thanking any T,D& H who congratulates him for being appointed chief of FTII. FTII is another JNU. Catering to idiots in Filmistan.

Some more mil-oriented films: - Forces spéciales (French movie called Spl. Forces, abt an op in Afghanistan that goes awry. Good production and realistic. Different from the usual hollywood fare) - Dr Strangelove (1964) - a black comedy about a cold war exercise gone wrong - Crimson Tide (a bit too ...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017
This is the beginning folks. All our metros are polluted, who wants to bet next year Deepavali will be banned in all cities next year? (and yes, a ban on firecrackers during Deepavali is a ban on Deepavali itself). If the Modi govt policy (by collective responsibility principle, one union minister p...

shiv sir, Das Boot is a great war movie. Gritty and realistic WW2 submarine ops. The audio is in German only, but Netflix I recall has it with subtitles. One of my all time favourites.

^^ Just to be technically correct, she is not an NRI, but a PIO. As the latter, she is entitled to call her consulate/embassy if she needs to. It's a poor reflection on Sidhu's govt in KA (incl.

Re: Indian Movies Thread
I saw "Toilet.." in the theatre. I liked it. Generally, if you agree with Modi's priority of "Pahele shauchalay, Phir devalaya" (First build toilets, then temples), you'd like it. Otherwise, I can see some folks taking offence at a few things in the film (they'll most likely not agree with Modi's st...
