The next thing you are going to say is that the Pushpak Viman was for real.

Source? The article seems to be talking about Indira Gandhi and teh first nuclear test. It seems to be 30 years old. And lets keep our feet on the ground.

Ok. The I guess the work on the frigates is in full swing. I regularly bump into Chinese employees of a Chinese telecom major in my office's lift lobby. We share the same floor. I must say, their way of conversation seems very animated to me. As if they are always in an excited state. Dont...

Is it very uncommon for foreigners to be seen in Karachi? I am sure a few Chinese companies would have their offices in Karachi as its the main business centre of Pakistan.

I was afraid the thread was going to head into this direction. The radioactivity could have been due to a lot of sources. And if well surveyed I am sure a lot of regions in India would come up as high in radioactivity. Not sure if ancient battles would explain it all.

Interesting. We could use some examples from the Greek and Roman mythological world as well.

I think we can safely say that much of its does get into the wrong pockets. But some of it spent by NGOs like DFID is well spent helping rural people.

I think we can do without the aid. We have enough resources and funds to tackle our problems but just need to manage them well. Take out the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians and the desired govt. aid can reach the needy.

Absolutely. Also, India would never do a Pakistan. We would never ethnically cleanse more than a million people under Operation Searchlight. Thats just what you guys do to your Bengali countrymen.

While I understand that the border runs through homes and market places, its still after all a border. And with the illegal immigrants crossing into India, we do need a border fence. What could be a better way of doing it? Maybe the homes and the villages have to be shifted or given a choice to...

You make statements like you are a world nominated authority on international relations. 'Not considered a regional power by any sensible country'? Really? Dont crack jokes. Why do you have to bring your new-found historical enlightenment into every thread? History aside, India needs to make...

India has a legitimate stake in the peaceful development of its neighborhood, hence Afghan involvement is warranted. And if the Afghans agree with our presence then I dont see the reason why Pakistan is crying.

I discovered another English word derived from hindi today - Shampoo. It comes from the Hindu Champu as in the oil head massage (champi). Dont know if this word's covered in the wiki-links above.

Politics, mitra. Traders and transporters associations have strong political linkages. My guess is that some opposition party guy might have tried to gain political mileage through this stunt for the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab.

I can see below that I wasn't wrong.

Where did you check? Is there a source of reference where I too could get such confirmed information. I dont want to get into an immature debate with you. I will count Israel and Russia as friends and you will point out Pakistan, BD etc. as enemies. No point in that. Just remember that nothing...

In this stupid tit for tat process, nobody is thinking about the Indian traders who probably would now have to offload their veggies in the local mandi at a loss to save them from r0tting. Not to say the advances that would have to be returned to the Pakistani buyers. Stupid version of...

We dont need brothers. Friends will do. And we have plenty of the latter.

Kind of silly. As these are perishable items, it might end up hurting our exporters more than the Pakistanis.

I have seen a few Hindi dubbed ones. And I know he's a good actor. My Mallu friends cant stop raving about his hits in the 80s.
