If Trump Offered Zero Tariffs on Indian Products, Would India Buy Russian Oil?

rohan_shah — Wed, 03 Sep 2025 20:55:20 +0000

I don't think India will have any incentive to buy Russian oil if Trump makes favourable trade deals with India, it is known that USA can't manufacture a lot many goods because of lack of cheap labour which India has in abundance along with democracy and a rule of law.

Why is USA being so hostile to India, I simply don't understand!

I run a accountancy business in India for local customers and we are a team of more than ~10 CPA Indian equivalents. A few CFAs as well.

Let me know if anyone requires our services for Bookkeeping/Accounting.

Hey! I'm the author and here's the clarification:

That was the official response I got from the district administration so had to post it. Also was being pressured by the government (indirectly) to take it down. So that was all bs. Next update I'll give is when I will have solved the problem.

This statement makes no sense. You're putting out political opinions on the lives of people without any idea of the reality.

The caste system was a part of India but every Government since independence has made attempts and continues to make everything possible to make the lives of the historically lower castes better off.

Not to mention India was forced to become a USSR ally because the USA had sent their aircraft carrier in a India Pakistan war to support the Pakistan side. And then the USSR sent their aircraft carrier in India's defence.

Hi Wincy, Sorry to drop my comment here without any scientific evidence or any such certification of experience.

But I had a similar condition in my childhood. Many doctors thought it was some form of complicated asthama or something but couldn't figure out what exactly was it.

Then my parents put me in an breathing camp (yoga retreat kind of thing). I was there for six months and we were convinced there that breathing is life. Breathing is the most important thing in and for life. And slowly, the condition disappeared.

The condition was more of an impediment in the brain blocking the breathing command when I got upset unlike some incurable damage to the lungs. Just teaching and reminding us to breath every second for six months made things a lot better.

If there's no such camp/retreat in your country, you could try India.

Robots who could replace some manual labour work within a specified area (say: factories), don't need to rely on batteries. We could attach them with a huge wire and plug it into power supply.

So if they want to a class where a teacher was general present but everyone learned through KA while doing interactive activities in between - how about that?

rohan_shah — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 21:31:43 +0000

How about a general tutor + KA? So the tutor will take of queries and keep a class full of children interactive - but children will learn maths through KA?

Ask HN: Will you send your child to Khanacademy instead of a physical school?

rohan_shah — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 19:01:16 +0000

Khanacademy has maths and science for K to 12. Harari's free and open YT course on Sepians is enough for world history.

So except for local geography, local history and local civics and polity and the art of making real life friends, there's nothing a physical school offers that Khanacademy + YT doesn't. So would you send your kids to the internet for school?

Ask HN: Will the gas burner continue to work if it is turned upside down?

rohan_shah — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 13:54:31 +0000

If I hold a gas stove upside down, will it continue to work normally? Because the gases will want to go "up" but they'll have to come "down" to burn and produce fire.

Wow! That's a lot of stuff.

And I agree that these things need to be done. And I am not against it if the people there follow the procedure and do the things that are needed to be done.

But what if one of the people from the government doing the survey/inspection just refuses to sign the paper! It's just crap. You can't complain to anyone nor can you do anything else. You're just stuck.

That's where my problem lies.

Almost all land in India is agricultural land.

There's very little industrial land. And all of that is used.

Great. Hadn't heard of this concept before. But seems perfect to describe the situation.

Thanks.

Wow! Thanks for mentioning the work of Hernando de Soto. I had never heard of the work before but will surely read the book now.
