Totally wrong...this is a very old Indian joke about mallus (people from southern state of Kerala) who are known to have their tea shop's all over India. There are a lot of mallu jokes just like sardar jokes in India.

A common misunderstanding...you cannot just decide one day that your NFU policy is now a nuclear weapon fighting strategy. It does not work like that. A first strike policy requires a no of steps including adding delivery systems and dedicated nuclear warfare divisions.India has no capability to...
