Tata Electronics will partner Taiwan's Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp and will focus on 28-nanometer technology.
<br />
<br />
Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Test Pvt Ltd will set up the second plant in Morigaon, Assam with focus on packaging technologies.
<br />
<br />
CG Power, in partnership with Japan's Renesas Electronics Corporation and Thailand's Stars Microelectronics will set up the third factory in Sanand, Gujarat. All three factories will start construction within next 100 days.

<br />
Both Tower and Tata’s facilities would produce so-called mature chips — using 40-nanometer or older technology — that are very widely used in consumer electronics, automobiles, defense systems and aircrafts, the people said.
<br />
<br />
The Tata Group is also planning to build a 250-billion-rupee (US$3 billion) chip-packaging plant in eastern India that would assemble and export chips.

<li style="background-color: #fdfaf2;"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><a href="https://qr.ae/pKBT8v" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chinese guy compares China and India</a>: I'm Chinese, I've worked in India for a while, I've been to some of the cities and villages in India. Personally, I think the gap between India and China will only get bigger, not smaller, in the next 10 to 20 years.
<br />
<br />
Foreign investment in India is aimed at capturing the domestic demand of India. Foreign investment in China, the purpose is not only to occupy the Chinese market, but to meet the needs of the world!
<br />
<br />
Second, India may miss out on a fourth industrial revolution Many people call breakthroughs in high-speed communications, new energy, new materials, life sciences, artificial intelligence and other fields the fourth industrial revolution. But <u>Indians are still keen on IT</u> and have invested little in the fourth industrial revolution.
<br />
<br />
Third, India's environmental crisis. As a Chinese, I have witnessed the destruction of China's environment by industrialization. It is easy to destroy the environment, but difficult to repair it. Today, the annual investment in environmental protection in China far exceeds the sum of education and military expenditure. But it will take generations to repair the environment, and some will never be. Unfortunately, I saw similar environmental damage in India, which has a higher population density and a lower environmental carrying capacity than China. India must solve its environmental problems, which may cause social instability and unrest.
<br />
<br />
Fourth, India's education crisis. In particular, inequality in education. Personally, 20% of people in India get a good education, but the quality and environment of education for the other 80% is really bad. Inequality in education leads to inequality in life development.

This stirred a hornet's nest among the NeoCons, who had been counting on riding Jeb's coattails back to power in the Whitehouse, having pumped billions into his presidential campaign for this purpose.</p><p>In a possible repeat of history, in the latest Republican primary debate, upstart challenger Vivek Ramaswamy similarly blasted NeoCon opponent Nikki Haley of South Carolina as "Dick Cheney in heels", calling her a corrupt Bush-Cheney warmonger and servant of the military-industrial complex. This looks to have again stirred a hornet's nest among the NeoCons, who've been backing Nikki 's run for the Whitehouse, hoping to ride her coattails back into power, and use her as a vehicle for a new war against Iran.</p><p>The sudden unexpected outbreak of war between Israel vs Hamas & Hezbollah, has produced sudden shifts in the dynamics of the US presidential race. Suddenly multiple large billionaire donors are switching away from backing Ron DeSantis (who'd been the 2nd-highest polling candidate and rival to Trump), to instead backing Nikki Haley. This is happening because the wealthy elites in America are now suddenly feeling a strong imperative for war on Iran, and NeoCon Nikki is seen as the best route to making this happen. (As we know, Iran is the main source of funding/support for both Hamas and Hezbollah.) Even Zelensky, the previous darling of US establishment for carrying out their war on Russia, is now being told to bide his time and perhaps even seek talks with Putin. American warmongers are now quietly running away from war with Russia, and towards their newer preferred war with Iran -- much as they'd quickly ran away from Afghanistan so that they could quickly start their newer preferred war on Russia.</p><p>What does this have to do with India? "Oppo Research" (aka. dirt-digging) done by the contestants in this current US presidential race has unearthed instances of Vivek Ramaswamy praising Modi, and has been used to claim Vivek is "right-wing Modi hindutva fascist". (Note that in contrast to Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy does not attempt to hide his Indian roots and faith) Therefore any opportunity to vilify Modi can be used as an attack vector against troublemaker Vivek Ramaswamy. Showing India's ruling govt as a rogue regime engaged in assassinations and other nasty stuff is then useful and timely. In a similar vein, Lefty bastion BBC deliberately ran their hit-piece against Modi ("The Modi Question") because they were hoping to use it to cast aspersions against the non-Lefty brown guy who'd just moved into 10 Downing Street.</p><p>The prime concern of America's warmongering elites right now is to get their war-horse Nikki into the Whitehouse, so that they can get their war on Iran. Joe Biden's Dhritarashtra presidency has now run its course, having served its purpose in bringing war against Russia. He'll be discarded in due course, with a seamless switchover to NeoCon Nikki as the next president from the Republican side - just like surefootedly shifting from one foot to the other.</p><p>Their main obstacle has been Donald Trump, who of course has been bogged down with every kind of legal case being filed against him. But Vivek Ramaswamy has increasingly emerged as a new thorn in the side, with his spirited defense of Trump, and his recent raining of fire on NeoCon Nikki, the preferred new war-horse candidate of the war lobby.</p><p>Skeptics will claim "But we India! We so big! We so impressive! No foreigners will mess with us just because of their own silly election politics! Don't be ridiculous paranoid!" The fact is that foreigners are not as in awe of India as we imagine them to be. Even lightweight Trudeau in lightweight Canada is easily willing to sacrifice relations with us for the sake of domestic political fortunes. In the case of US politics, their big money lobbies are very powerful and are playing for very high stakes. They strongly intend to get their war on Iran, and anyone even vaguely seen as standing in their way will be swept aside, howsoever crudely and regardless of the collateral damage to others. </p>sanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-7582544359615737272023-12-05T07:07:00.005+05:302023-12-05T09:29:26.043+05:30Chandrayaan-3 Brought Back from Moon<p>Chandrayaan-3's propulsion module, which carried itself and the attached Vikram lander from the Earth to the Moon, has now been flown from the Moon back into Earth's orbit - a distance of a quarter of a million miles:</p><p><a href="https://www.isro.gov.in/Ch3_Propulsion_Module_moved_from_Lunar_orbit_to_Earth_orbit.html">https://www.isro.gov.in/Ch3_Propulsion_Module_moved_from_Lunar_orbit_to_Earth_orbit.html</a></p><p><a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/isro-brings-back-chandrayaan-3-propulsion-module-to-earth-orbit-shows-off-tech-to-return-from-moon/articleshow/105735162.cms">https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/isro-brings-back-chandrayaan-3-propulsion-module-to-earth-orbit-shows-off-tech-to-return-from-moon/articleshow/105735162.cms</a></p>sanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-9255724299285077952023-11-19T05:04:00.002+05:302023-11-19T05:04:37.072+05:30Quick notes: Nvidia | Resistant starch...<ul style="text-align: left;">

US is now suddenly sharply trying to meddle in Bangladesh internal politics/elections in order to get rid of Sheikh Hasina / Awami League, who are seen as too close to India. US would like to have Khaleda Zia / BNP in power in Bangladesh, because this will result in more Indo-Bangladesh frictions, which US can exploit. Khaleda Zia / BNP would work closely with China to destabilize India's Northeast, which US could again exploit to gain more leverage with India. The Americans feel that we're behaving too cockily because we have it too good, and want to see us cut down to size.</span></p>sanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-51373575197041796882023-11-04T23:08:00.000+05:302023-11-04T23:08:20.507+05:30Ontario Govt Announces Policy On "Caste Discrimination"<p><a href="https://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/news_centre/ohrc%E2%80%99s-policy-position-caste-based-discrimination">https://www.ohrc.on.ca/en/news_centre/ohrc%E2%80%99s-policy-position-caste-based-discrimination</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://i.imgur.com/HXDmlt3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="712" height="800" src="https://i.imgur.com/HXDmlt3.png" width="712" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>sanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-80622255000704326822023-11-03T04:13:00.009+05:302023-11-14T00:02:34.848+05:30Quick notes: Donor revolt | Search engine...<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/02/wall-street-titans-help-to-fuel-ivy-league-donor-revolt-.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Put a billion-dollar hole in the University’s books</a>: <span style="color: #121212;">Wall Street titans help to fuel <u>Ivy League donor revolt</u>.

LOL. Thomas Friedman praises P.M Manmohan Singh for *"NOT retaliating militarily to 26/11”*.
That’s exactly how they would like Hindus to be - emasculated and anatomically deficient like Shikhandi Maulana Mumble Singh! That is in line with a broader principle of demonizing Sanatana Dharma while promoting supposedly pacifist Buddhism.
There is a deliberate effort by charlatans like DeeQuack Chopra, et al to ascribe to Buddhism - everything that is universally acknowledged as good and invented by Hinduism - things like Yoga, Pranayama, etc. while denigrating Hinduism as mere superstition, if not an evil, oppressive cult.
HHM (Hindu Holy Men) are also culpable in the project of Hindu emasculation by teaching exclusively about Raas Leela, Makhan Chori, Baal Kreeda, etc. and NOT depicting armed, ferocious “Roudra Roop” of our deities complete with their Shastras and the true reason why they are worshipped - the Vadh of demoniac Rakshasas like Ravana, et al.
An insidious message is being propagated that only “Pet Pooja” aka “Langar” is good for Hindus, i.e. NOT “Shastra Pooja” whereas “Kirpan” is OK for Sikhs because it is an “integral article of their faith”.
During the recent NavaRatri festival, many Pandals in W. Bengal depicted Maa Durga - the fierce manifestation of the Mother Goddess Shakti WITH many arms and WITHOUT any of her Shastras!
This is the “good Hindu” that they want - disarmed both physically and intellectually, pacifist, vulnerable and accomplices to their own civilizational extinction.
Hindus are not “allowed” to protect their families, their religion, culture, their nation and anything else they hold sacred.
Hindus can be humiliated, raped and massacred by anyone wantonly at their pleasure - but “good Hindus” are NOT “allowed” to retaliate. They MUST always turn the other cheek.
Basically, for the establishment - a “good Hindu” is a dead Hindu OR a practically dead/lifeless Hijda like Ghandy!
With this carrot and stick approach of: eulogizing emasculated HINO pacifists, massaging the egos of egotistical megalomaniacs - Ghandy like Hijdas (conforming to their official prescribed version of a “Hindu”) singing “Ishwar Allah Teri Naam” and spinning away the “Charkha” on their way to extinction like Dodos -
while simultaneously demonizing traditional, assertive Sanatani Hindutva - Hindus are kept caged like lapdogs craving for approval from the Tom Friedmans, Fareed Zakarias of this world.
Ghandy was a British, Church stooge - a vegetarian Christist planted in India at the right time to emasculate Hindus and subjugate the nascent struggle for Freedom from Christist colonial rule.
If the Hindu nation - the last civilizational entity of its kind in the world is to survive - then Ghandy needs to be repudiated and his perverted, sadomasochistic ideology needs to be incinerated!
Start by rejecting Tom Friedman’s laughable comparison/ praise of Shikhandi Manmohan
with the extreme malice, derision and utter contempt that it deserves.
Tom Friedman’s postulation could be the subject of a joke - but, should NOT be internalized by Hindus, especially not to deify Shikhandi Mumble Singh as the new “Mahatma” Ghandy!karyakarta92http://www.blogger.com/profile/12848906033912207523noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-44082748791072588372023-10-30T23:29:00.011+05:302023-10-31T07:00:39.225+05:30Quick notes: Mohammedan brothers | Paki reputation...<ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/un-urges-pakistan-to-suspend-forcible-deportation-of-afghan-nationals-/7331800.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mohammedan Brothers</a>: <span style="color: #121212;">Pakistan forcibly deporting <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/afghan-refugees-in-pakistan-concerned-as-deportation-deadline-looms/7330286.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Afghan</a> nationals.

What was interesting was that there were a lot of Indian Restaurants in this small town, with names such as Rajasthan, Gandhi, Maharaja, Delhi, Namaste, etc. Each of these restaurants had a lot of symbols of India, Indian tradition & culture and things related to India.
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #121212;">What was surprising was that all of these restaurants were <u>owned by people from Pakistan</u>. Every staff working there were also from Pakistan. And all of these restaurant owners received me & my team very warmly. On asking why do they have Indian names, it was a common answer - Restaurants with names or references to Pakistan don’t really work. Hence, they bank on Indian names.

He just conveniently comes forth to blandly say he was behind blasts. He specifically says: "I don't know exactly what happened. But I know the blasts happened for sure."</div><div><br /></div><div>Uhhh - that sounds like something a <b>volunteer fall-guy</b> would say. (ie. I don't know how many bombs were planted, I don't know where they were planted, I don't know what they were made from - I just know I saw news on TV that said some people were killed in an explosion, and I'm here to take blame for it)</div><div><br /></div><div>This guy isn't even trying hard to embellish his lie. He's "just phoning it in" with minimum effort.</div><div><br /></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/cBz1eJpDiDY?si=BpvMTiKaGUskk1rf" width="480"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><div>Allow me to give my own theory of what's likely happening here:</div><div><br /></div><div>Hamas leader held virtual teleconference with Kerala Muslim gathering on Israel-Gaza conflict, with full blessings of Kerala govt, and Muslims were stoked up by it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Islamists then bombed Christian Jehovah Witness gathering, which had gathered specifically to <b>pray for victims of Hamas 10/7 attack on Israel.</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Kerala govt, fearing implosion and collapse of their precious Vote Bank alliance that keeps them in power, quickly undertook an emergency action by despatching one of their loyalists to become a sacrificial pawn by falsely claiming responsibility for the blasts, under false pretenses.</div><div>Kerala govt cannot afford Christian-Muslim infighting due to West-vs-Palestine conflict, because that could wreck the electoral calculus they depend upon as their bread-and-butter.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Notice the exact way in which Dominic then heaps scorn on Jehovah's Witness sect -- as if to say, "Dear Christian Vote Bank, don't get too upset about bombing of these Jehovah Witnesses, because they're just kaffirs anyway, and not real true Christians. They don't even participate in our Vote Bank scheme by voting! Don't shed any tears for these traitors! Just ignore them and move on. Keep our Vote Bank Alliance with Muslims alive."</div><div><br /></div><div>What kind of "angry ex-cultist" specifically mentions the group's voting patterns of all things? No, that sounds more like something a political operative would be keeping aware of. And political operative is exactly what Fall-Guy Dominic Martin looks to be. Dominic Martin needs to be given an MRI Brain Mapping examination by NIA to confirm whether he's lying. Because it looks to me like he is.</div>sanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11939342428337531046noreply@blogger.com0
