This is the part of Modi' s speech that i would ask John MC Cain to read twice.
"As we deepen our partnership, there would be times when we would have differing perspectives. But, since our interests and concerns converge, the autonomy in decision making and diversity in our perspectives can...
China wants to be isolated and then finally agree for Indian member ship to NSG, so that Pakistan feels china tried its best (Remember NSG Waiver). China has lot to gain from India and cannot stop India's growth. Membership to associations reflect the relations between nations and not other way...
My gut feel says that India will be part of NSG group soon. If China is able to counter US and stop India from entering the NSG, then there is no incentive for India to align closely with US, a "Super Power" who cannot get its way. If 1.2 billion of India is not part of any group, i seriously...
Hollywood movies are watched in India and the West has lot of influence on Indians. But India is able to develop its own Bollywood, etc. Similarly, Bangladesh has to start and develop local film industry. Have an open mind. BTW i like Bangladesh. Its a progressive nation with a future.

I too would take a peaceful and friendly neighbourhood any day. But my concern is during peaceful times, Indian establishment becomes lethargic in defence matters. Pakistan and China are forcing India to become a strong military power. In this world Hard Power is always respected and now we have...
1) Based on what @PARIKRAMA said...India is going to use Rafale for Navy too... So Rafale is going to dominate Indian Airforce.
2) France seems to be rewarded for their neutral stance during Indian Nuclear tests.
3) With the strengthening of Indian Air Force, India position will become very...
Indians historically trust Russia. However, India and US are natural partners in this New World. There is no reason to keep looking at the world through History. India should have the courage to be friends with USA as equals. A US and China conflict is not a certainty and India US China...
Tejas will play an important role in Indian Air force History. If you are thinking about nose wheel vibrations then you are getting into too much detail..which is fine. Tejas has / will give a lot of confidence / experience to Indian Aircraft manufacturing and fill in the gap of a single engine...
