1. Indian renaissance
2. The easiest question....... French revolution wala
3. Transport wala question

In the end I was left with 5 mins, could have written transport wala question, but by then I had surrendered.

@noobdevices15031He (DKT) sounds very childish and immature when he writes "My answers are best...", I will surely get this much marks and shady stuffs and stories to bolster his stupid points! His comments obviously have a negative vibe to them that exudes arrogance and overconfidence which speaks a lot about his personality. He appears to be too full of himself and its best to ignore him.

@CaesarGreat article. Thanks for this.
I believe that nonconformity is the best way to decipher the truth in the present era. The truth is layered with lies. The crowd takes the lies and makes it a metanarrative. Nonconformists taste the truth, but it is of no avail (for society) as they're marginalized.

Meanwhile, Iran has acknowledged the downing of the Ukranian passenger plane. A major! Possible implications?

@AzadHindFauzHard to predict.May be mere condemnations. But much to India's relief, Iran has "absolutely" replaced India's name in foreign press like NYT, New yorker, guardian etc. The recent spate of incidents in India had the attention of foreign press. Peace prevails, hope so.

@BehemothYup. Modi Ji is very lucky.

@Behemothforeign press did cover incidents in India but the attention they got was nothing compared to what Iran is getting. We tend to think of our coverage being significant which wasn't the case.

@AzadHindFauz2 days ago, TheHindu had headlines,"No signs of foul play" even though the seeker was found nearby.

@AzadHindFauzJust when we thought that the situation has de-escalated!
UN sanctions, possibly. What other actions could be taken against a nation? Apart from war.

@kochikaameIt's obvious that Iran would get significant foreign coverage because it impacts America's interests directly. But this time the coverage of India was very much at the detriment of India's diplomat clout. The same point was also mentioned by our ex- foreign sec. Shiv Shankar Menon. In his words, “Global public opinion on India has shifted if you see the international press. It’s a self-inflicted goal,” he said.
Moreover we as a country are very much sensitive to our foreign coverage. Remember a mere cartoon of ISRO published by NYT in 2013 created an uproar in India. The press feeds people. A French guy opined last month that India's CAA violated the rights of trangenders. How ignorant.

@Behemothcorrect. We still look up and see what the West would be thinking. Mahatma Gandhi, in a way, have been our most prominent Ambassador carrying message of peace and non-violence. It sells, when you show violence taking place in the land of Buddha & Mahatma.

@CaesarAgree. As long as capital and life saver innovations come from west, we would care about the opinions of them either deliberately or ignorantly.

@dancingminionprivacy is just a myth!!

If someone is getting interview question like is Ayodhya judgment victory of the faith over the fact ?

What will be the diplomatic safe answer

Someone throw some light on the question.
