At Commonwealth Games, the World's Largest Aerostat
GillBates0 writes "Last weekend saw the world's largest aerostat of its kind featured at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The helium balloon or aerostat measures 40x80x12 meters, contains 20,000 cubic meters of helium and features lights, mirrors, cameras, a 360 degree projection screen, projectors and a reflective underbelly. During the show, it was raised 25 meters off the ground and transformed into a giant Bodhi Tree and a meditating Buddha, with giant puppets to complement the cultural performances beneath. These slideshows tell the story."
Try telling that to the people of the Akbar era. Akbar was a scheming mozzie, just as bad. He was responsible for demolition of temples just like all his glorious predecessors.
Indian "official" history books taught in school are neutered shit. If we had real history taught in India, we would be like israel and the mozzies will be like the palestiniens. There are advantages to neutered shit; a more inclusive culture but the disadvantage is forgetting the past by hiding it from the "tender" young generation will help us repeat the past.
India is a joke; Mozzies get to marry four wives in India (LOL) and in Islamic pakistan they can have just one ! Really India is the worst country full of minority appeasers and mozzie lovers, stay away from that place!
