This completely wrong. There is nothing purely for pleasure as a category; everything is utility based.

In India, the law requires the manufacturers to provide mounts for standard plates. You require plates when you drive out of the dealers.

What, exactly, do you think “hubris” means?

Seriously, why is it ‘totaled ‘. Surely there is enough value left to repair it? It is damaged but is it really irreparably damaged?

I am willing to bet real money that that car was driven by a person of Indian (the country) origin. (Would have doubled the bet if it had been a Honda or Toyota).

Isn’t it a bit ... boxy?

Dnot know about the bikes (the article is fairly thin on etails) but the line drawings are sweet!

India handled better when a large IT company, Satyam, melted down. At the time, Satyam was the 4th largest IT service provider in India, behind TCS, Infosys & Wipro. Had about 60,000 people, if I remember right. The point is it was a big company, “too big to fail” size.

So cute!

This was also manufactured in India under license as the Badal, I think (meaning I am not sure about the 'licensed' part). A truly godawful looking car but still different enough that 1 year old me wanted one! The alternatives were the Hindustan Ambassador & Premier Padmini.

I find this article in bad taste

The key point that is being missed in the discussion is that Mahindra was a licensed manufacturer commissioned by Jeep to make the cars in India. IIRC, they own the rights to the design in India. They are not knock off artists 

It is a good solution but the researchers could have a much bigger sample size and more valid data by conducting it in India.

This is perfect for India! Nobody cares about namby-pamby right-of-way nonsense here. “If you hesitate, it is my right of way , you loser” is the only real rule.

In India, in the state of Karnataka, already Uber’s surge pricing cannot exceed the rate specified by the government for regular taxis ( not the ride share ones). Uber can, of course, charge lower if it wants.

I saw the image and thought “yeah. Those tear tracks alongside the headlights do look like the car is forced into doing something it did not want to do. And that is wrong”

Doing anything the way it is supposed to be done does not make you tough. It is doing stuff anyway after it stops doing what it should do that makes you tough.

I am from India. And I am going “Tunnels are cleaned?!!! How quaint!”. And here you are talking about cleaning the tunnel ceilings, which no one ever notices!

Which is in turn derived from Kesar from Sanskrit 

I think they are talking about an inline 2-3 seater where people sit fighter cockpit style
