The plan to boycott Chinese imports is neither practical nor is it in the Indian national interest. There has been many nationalist calls for boycotting Chinese goods as a retaliation against China for blocking India’s bid at the UN to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a terrorist, following the Uri attacks and the subsequent surgical strikes carried out by the Indian army. Presumably, India is tired and frustrated of China tacitly supporting Pakistan and thus, the clarion call is for consumers to boycott all Chinese products en masse, so as to hurt the Chinese economy, especially at a time when it is reeling. This has obtained mass support from not only the ordinary citizens, but is being backed by influential MPs and others from the political class. Such a move is neither practically feasible in order to obtain the desired result, nor will it be in our national interest to do so. Let us examine the feasibility angle first. India is the biggest importer of Chinese consu...

For the first time since the Kargil intrusions of 1999, Indian territory is in the hands of foreign soldiers. Starting in the third week of April, more than 5,000 Chinese soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have intruded into five points in Ladakh – four along the Galwan River, and one near the Pangong Lake. While patrol intrusions from both sides are routine in areas where the Line of Actual Control (LAC) – the de facto border between India and China – is disputed, the LAC in the Galwan Valley corresponds to China’s official claim line. That means that, in sending thousands of PLA troops three-to-four kilometres into the Galwan Valley, China has violated its own claim line and occupied territory that Beijing itself has traditionally acknowledged to be Indian. This is not shaping up like a routing patrol confrontation, or even a temporary occupation of disputed territory of the kind that took place in Depsang in 2013, or in Chumar in 2014. This time the PLA soldiers are digg...

Quantity-driven China beats India in the technology knowhow race China is nipping at the heels of the US, the world leader in science and technology. It has already caught up in quantity, though it is still some way behind in quality. If you had compared India and  China  in the late 1980s, there would not have been much difference in their  science and technology  capabilities. In the early 1990s, China had started moving ahead, but the two countries were not too far apart in their preparations for the 21st century industries. But in the 1990s, China invested heavily in  education  and research and started moving ahead very quickly. It has continued this thrust ever since. Now the two are poles apart in science and technology infrastructure. China is nipping at the heels of the US, the world leader in science and technology. It has already caught up in quantity, though it is still some way behind in quality. India and China have brought differe...

Apple's new iPhone SE is $300 or 22874 rupees cheaper than the baseline iPhone 11. Here's exactly what you get by spending almost double. As the sequel to Apple's 2016  sleeper-hit  iPhone  of the same name , the new  iPhone SE  starts at $399, £419 or AU$749. With that price tag, the phone aims to court budget-minded users who may not be able to splurge on $1,000 handsets like the  iPhone 11 Pro  or  Galaxy S20 . While that does mean some cuts in hardware (the phone has a smaller 4.7-inch display and a single rear camera, for example) the iPhone SE does include some modern fixings, such as the same A13 processor as the iPhone 11 phones.   iPhone SE 2020 The new budget iPhone champ With a four-year gap between the new iPhone SE and the older one, Apple brought many upgrades. That includes wireless charging, better camera specs and water resistance. (Unfortunately, for wired headphone users, the new iPhone SE doesn't ha...
