Yeah, they need to be wary they don't completely alienate their new friends on the big stage. India hates Pakistan which is an ally of China. India is wary of China and has been trying to join the anti-China alliance in the Indo Pacific region. India has Russian legacy weapons systems. India is a member of the Commonwealth and has family ties to the UK, Canada, Australia because of the Indian diaspora. They are engaged in many business relationships now with UK companies that have them taking on the senior role in partnerships. They should start acting more responsibly. That Modi is a hindu nationalist jerk is also a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy concentration here in Jersey and New York, I would guess California as well... Lots of business relationships, call centers, software, pharmaceuticals, etc...

Immediately after the election, with his legislative majority gone, there was talk he would pivot away from Hindu Nationalism. Be nice if that turns out to be true, but how often does a guy change his spots? And of course if he's hanging out with Putin that's another whole movement in a bad direction.

The Loudon county cricket scene is fire. The town of Ashburn is often called Ashburndesh which i giggle at. Edited July 24 by romad1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) The Indian community in Detroit is growing rapidly. Drive around Novi, Farmington Hills, and West Bloomfield on Sunday and take a look at the community baseball fields. Cricket matches all day long.

My softball program has a lot of Indian girls who have dads who know cricket but not baseball/softball. They go on to be some excellent athletes.

romad1 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-t-90m-nato-poland-1932013 Well, moving pre-positioned supplies to Poland from Germany for a rapid deployment is a good step. I understand that most of our stuff is in Romania and Poland and Germany is sort of the second/third echelon stuff that's just cheaper to keep there like the Landsthul/Ramstein hospital that many Iraq and Afghanistan wounded were treated.
