Not to challenge, but supplement or provide an alternate route to Suez canal. As the India and ASEAN grows in future, the traffic for Suez will increase and touch its capacity, hence an alternative can be a financially viable solution & definitely geo-economically viable !!

I seriously disagree with this assessment. Pakistan is infact in my view one of the most vulnerable countries in the world. You have only 2.3 Lakh KM2 of agricultural land with 240 million population. In comparison Ukraine has (3.5Lakh Km2, 3.6cr), Bangladesh(1lakh,17cr), Nigeria(4lakh,22cr)...

The more the economic hardship of Pakistan happens, the more the Kashmir issue could lose its relevance. Or, it could be the other way around. As people gets pushed into poverty, they get more hardliner, which will push Pakistani establishment into being more aggressive on Kashmir. Lets see what...

It wasn't because of USA's reluctance to build the nuclear plants, but the Indian governments did not wanted to invest so much on the nuclear power. Add on the too many nuclear projects made the project hanging in middle for too long. But even today the deal for the 10k MW Jaitapur deal with...

We should have went all out on A319/320/320 series, rater than having so many types!!

Depends on the the time vs cost equation. If the goods transported quicker can be more profitable than a cheaper sea route but time consuming via Suez, then the trade would make sense. Also, it provides an alternate route bypassing the Suez, which can come in handy if the Canal is blocked...
