Sir had the post been a little brief would have read it.
Anyway welcome to the world of Geopolitical reality. All nations carry out acts what they perceive to be in their interest, eg. Pkaistan support for various Jihadi elements, Indian support for LTTE, Iran with Hamas and Hezbollah. US...
I really admire the perseverance of some of our friends. They keep on posting outdated articles non stop and do not even reply to the points raised by other members.
Does Mr.Idune realise that with the Title of the thread what he is implying on the character of hie fellow country men...
Sir you can do better than posting an article from 1997, 12 years old.
Nothing new in this report. It was news at that time, now it is known fact of the past.
This is indeed very fast work from our bureaucracy. they realised the emergency and quickly granted all the clearances.
There have been many parents from Pakistan who have been coming to India for emergency surgery for their infants, especially those with Heart problems.
There was no other option but for the cabinet to accept the Aid from the US.

Sir, I am in agreement with you on this first part. The operations have just begun and the reporter has written the final chapter of the book. This is going to be a long haul for the PA and in many places they will have to take a strategic retreat, it could be due to overwhelming opposition...
The cops got lucky. When you have a person who is prepared to die for his mission then stopping him is very difficult. Remember the cops have to be lucky every time while these bastards have to get lucky only once for their mission to succeed.
China needs to show pragmatism towards such issues. Every time they react sharply to either Dalai Lama or on Arunachal Pradesh they are only giving publicity to them. This kind of shrill reaction will always be counterproductive.
These babus were handled very well by the earlier Defense Minister George Fernandes.
On his various trips to Siachen he was appraised over the long delays in procurement of essential items, he gave a warning to the babus and even after that things did not improve he immediately transferred a...
I remember the time when I was a kid travelling by train for long distances one had to carry their bedding roll as the berth was just a wooden plank. Also we had to carry those surahis for cold water.
By 80s the situation had changed and IR switched over to padded berths and carrying the...
