Actually Krishna and Fanne, IMO, BR used to be very good at quite a few things ie multiple areas of core competancy. They got so by quite an accident. Originally, BR was created to cater solely to the people interested in the Indian military.
Over time, eventhough, these guys love the military stuff, they had to create other sections only to keep their military forum pure and free of unwanted material. This happened quite a few years ago over multiple times in incremental stages.
These changes brought enormous popularity to the BR but also a lot of headaches. Therefore, the BRadmins decided to jettison some of these areas and concentrate solely on Military matters which is their original and primary mission.
IMO, people who are posting in BR's strategic and technology sections are wasting their time. I say this because the BRteam has taken a decision to concentrate on what they love the best but rest of the gang just doesn't seem to get the message. People in tech and strategic forums have been told repeatedly by the BRteam that they have no interest in supporting those forums, but people are persisting, maybe because of habit or maybe because of a lack of choices or plain ignorance.
So, its not a case of duplication of effort, but it is a case of picking up the areas in which BRadmins have repeatedly showed a distinct lack of interest. I bet if they can, the BRadmins will be more than glad to close down both the Tech and Strategic forums. They just have no interest in maintaining these forums for which they get quite a lot of grief. Just keep in mind that BR is for military and not for other subjects.
