they could have won the war in 2 years instead of losing the war in 20. all they had to do was target the taliban leadership in pakistan instead of their foot soldiers in the vast mountains of afghanistan.
This. I think the best way for you to ensure funding is to have revenue traction. One thing that trumps ageism (and all --isms) is greed. If you show revenue growth and traction, these greedy VCs will swallow all their…
Being downvoted. Let me correct myself, HN: all discoveries have been made by white people. These discoveries have been made in the last 6000 years, the only time that this universe has existed (according to the white…

True. HN isn't the right place for this flame war.
'Indian' is the same as 'Bharatiya'[1], which is as old as human civilization gets. And I agree with OP that Sanskrit should be revived in India like the Jews did for Hebrew in Israel. [1]…
