I totally agree with the comments of fellow Bhpians.

At first too was intrigued by this post and video. Its makes a good video to view and know to Never Never Try this on your own types.

Its definitely a risky and careless maneuver to try something like just, just in case the car comes off the jack. There are enough helpful people on the roads of India at any point of the day or night to assist with the push start.

Quoting Anshuman, if you are prepared and have a rope in your trunk, you might as well keep a jumper cable / kit in the car.

Sorry to say it is not correct for modern cars.

As I mentioned before, a dead battery means ECU is dead and sensors won't feed data either. Unless sensors (oxygen, throte position, crank position etc) work, injectors won't fire. Now for injectors to work, power is needed. What is also needed is uninterrupted fuel supply. Two pumps need to work to keep the fuel supplied--one to feed the lines and second for high pressure build up.

What you mentioned might be somewhat true for carburetor models, as they have a chamber which acummulates fuel.

Again, easy way to check the situation is to switch on the key and listen to fuel pump sound. You would hear a whirring sound for 5 sec which then stops. If that is there and your starter relay is getting cut off, you can easily push star the vehicle. If you don't hear the pump, and none of the electricals work, use jumper cable.

Did I understand wrong or does the open differential scenario only come into picture when the clutch is decoupled?

The best example of how our differential works that I ever found was this.
