> RIP a good tech killed by committees overembellishing it and engineers failing to recognise what they already had over the high of building something else.

> was Pakistan that shot 3 to 5 Indian jets. Pakistan says three Rafale jets, a MiG-29, and an Su-30, along with one Heron drone. NY Times confirms at least 3. This was a huge win for Pakistan by all military expert accounts. This was all using Chinese technology.
Can not comment anything on this as it is not confirmed or denied from Indian side.It is only said that no pilot has been lost.
> Trump said today that it was India that went to the US to solve the situation. CNN also reported this.
You can see Trump's change of wording on the recent tweets as well as India clearly denying role of Trump as mediator.India said the discussions took place directly between the two neighbours-in-conflict.
> India isn't innocent either; they meddle a lot with Balochistani separatist groups in Pakistan. This is no hidden secret. These terrorists have killed Chinese engineers.
Is there any proof for this?I have not seen any.From what I have heard, they are supported by Afgans.Still no proof.
> There has been a lot of false information out there, particularly from Indian media (many accounts said a pilot was also captured, and other cities such as Karachi were hit).It was very alarming to see such blatantly wrong accounts by mainstream Indian media.
Yes, the examples given are fake news,peddled by Indian media.They do not care anything besides high TRP.
> I grew up in late 20th century India, in a deracinated household.
> A cultural and linguistic break had occurred, and between my grandparents’ and my parents’ generation, there lay an imporous layer of English education that prevented both my father in Pakistan, and my mother, in India, from being able to reach their roots.
Blaming "only on a single generation of English education" is shortsightedness.Before implementation of english education(1835), art and literature of India was already on the path of destruction. At the time of its implementation, a large portion of India was illeiterate.
Anyway, I agree on the linguistic break.It has started many times ago.People want secure future for their children and preparing them to become Engineers or doctors.We as a society, have prioritised students to find the biggest sum of money and a secure future/career.In this country(or at least the place I belong now), after 10th people send the top students to Science, next to commerece and then the rest to arts.After science, people ask you "What do you want to become?"Unadmittedly, they have 2 options for you,Engineering or Doctor.
And today,the condition is worsening.Many toddlers and preschoolers today are glued to never-ending collection of youtube videos.Digital addiction at such a small age gives me no hope that they will be able to rediscover their true roots through their lifetime.
For my case though, they refused to give smartphone access to me(despite multiple requests).They instead encouraged me to use laptop, while my friends were buying new smartphone while joining college.
