कल तक आप सभी उनकी शान में ऐसे ही कसीदे पढ़ रहे थे। फिर आज उनकी समझ और निर्णय पर सवाल क्यों? एक बुद्धिमान विचारक ने फैसला लिया है, तो कुछ सोच-समझकर ही लिया होगा, नहीं? फिर खुद ही महान बनाए गए व्यक्ति के निर्णय पर संदेह क्यों कर रहे हैं?

@Som07189600@AgniVesa_07 What kind of brain ded gandu are you, to bitch cry at the fact that we are trying to keep our interest first?
Librand sepoys like you are incompetent, not our scientists.
If we need help we'll take it from whoever offers us the best deal
Being a part of this project, I can tell that it's not simply about the Signaling system, but Japan would provide the Shinkansen Trains only by 2032. India wouldn't let it's completed tracks unused till '32, so India got it's own Bullet Trains made at Bengaluru, & would run them from '27. Also, Japan had put a clause that 99% of critical fittings would have to be procured from Japanese firms, often at 10x the cost. India wriggled out of this clause & my company itself has supplied a few fittings by developing them indigeniously at 10% of the cost, as compared to what the Japs were charging at the begining of the project. That's what is hurting them

Let me explain what this whole fight is about, because it is very different from what the tweet by the Japanese official makes it sound like.
Back in 2015, India and Japan signed the Mumbai to Ahmedabad bullet train deal. 508 km.
India would use Japan's Shinkansen trains and Shinkansen technology. Japan put up a massive soft loan, covering most of the cost, at almost no interest, 0.1 percent, to be repaid over 50 years.
On paper it sounded amazing. Cheap money, world class trains.
But every such loan has a catch. Cheap Japanese money came tied to buying Japanese things.
Their trains. Their coaches. Their signal system. Their price, largely on their terms. That is normal. No country lends billions out of pure love. They lend to sell their own industry.
Then two things went wrong, and this is where his anger comes from.
One, the price.
The Japanese Shinkansen trainsets turned out to be extremely expensive. India felt it was being overcharged for the rolling stock. So, talks hit a wall.
Two, the timeline.
The newest Japanese trains, the E10 series, would reportedly only be ready for India around 2032. India did not want to sit on a finished 1.08 lakh crore track with no trains to run on it.
So India made a call. And this is the part I am proud of.
Instead of waiting and overpaying, India decided to run its own trains first. BEML in Bengaluru got an order to build indigenous high speed trainsets at about 866 crore each, designed to run at 280 kmph.
India will open the line with Indian made trains on the Surat to Vapi stretch around 2027, and bring in the Japanese Shinkansen later.
And the signal system, the thing he is bitter about, India switched from Japan's DS-ATC to the European ETCS Level 2 system.
The same family already used on the Delhi Meerut rapid rail. That is what he means by Japan being excluded from the signal system. India looked at the Japanese option, found it too costly and too slow, and picked a different one.
Now let me be fair, because I cannot be blind just because I am pro India.
He is not lying about everything.
India is genuinely a tough, frustrating negotiator. We change our mind. We push for our own interest till the last minute. We renegotiate things others thought were settled.
To a Japanese official raised on politeness and fixed agreements, this feels like betrayal.
But flip it around and look at it from our seat.
Our job is not to protect Japanese honour. Our job is to get India a bullet train at a fair price, that runs soon, and that builds Indian factories in the process.
On all three, changing course was the right call. Waiting till 2032 and overpaying for imported trains would have been the polite choice. It would also have been the stupid choice.
There is a bigger thing hiding under his frustration, and I think it is the real reason for the anger.
For decades, the deal was simple. Rich countries gave loans and technology, and poorer countries said thank you and bought whatever came bundled with it.
You took the money, you took their trains, you did not argue.
India argued. India took the loan, then insisted on its own trains, its own signal system, its own factories getting the work. We used their money to build our capability instead of just renting theirs.
That is what stings them. Not that we were reckless. That we refused to stay the junior partner in our own project.
I will give the Japanese side genuine credit.
Their engineering is world class. In 60 years, the Shinkansen has never had a passenger death from a derailment or collision.
That safety record is worth respecting. Their frustration with our chaos is also probably fair on a human level. Working with India can be maddening. Anyone who has managed an Indian project knows this.
For me, the real issue is what’s in it for our country.
India has the track. India is building its own trains for it. India picked its own signal system.
India got a 50 year loan at almost zero interest. And India will still get the Shinkansen later, on better terms than the original bundle.
If that is what Indian recklessness produces, I will take it every single time.
Be tough. Be a nightmare to negotiate with. Just make sure the country wins at the end of it. :)
