Wait a minute...a country that hosted the world cup faces debt because of the capital expenditure incurred? That's really really bad management!

Commie sympathizer? I suppose you dont use the ipod, ipad and all the electronics and garments that are made in China and sold in the USA a since they are commie made? The UNSC goes beyond USA. Since you seem to be an expert in this matter, I'd like to get your brilliant inputs on why there is...

Really irrelevant question. Limited war means limited to a particular geography or a kind of opponent. Given the presence of our ACC this could also mean a limited military confrontation at sea. You have to be really specific in your question to get any sort of reasonable response. Else it will...

Thats just plain sad to hear. Should ask some Indian journalists about their experience in India. I doubt there will be intelligence agents around, but to know the process here would be interesting.

True..but I'll go one step further. After your upbringing it finally boils down to the lifestyle choice you make and what you believe in.

I'm surprised you find this surprising. Has to do a lot with faith than anything else. We all need something to believe in. I'm a hardcore non-veg eater. But I try not to belittle people who are vegetarians. Each one to his own I say.

India and China have traditionally used Soviet weaponss. The difference between the paths India and China are taking are as follows. China: Copy technology and build a local version of the same. Use this as a base to develop further models. Pros: Short turnaround time. Cons: Will restrict...

Wow..off late the Indian foreign policy has been more and more bold and there is a clear theme to India's stand on a number of issues! Fits seamlessly with our history of being the first non Arab state to recognize Palestine. Wonder what the Zionist conspiracy theorists we see around here...

Looks like the "2 boondh.." campaign is paying dividends. Sometimes the Indian govt. does surprise you with well planned public awareness campaigns.

Let me see.

Two things come out of this: 1) Australia is sticking it's ground morally (not that bad) to it's policy of no uranium sales to Non NPT, CTBT signatories. But given the fact that the whole world has decided that they can do so to reactors in India which will be under the purview of the IAEA makes...

Still very speculative. But as we know LCA at present barely makes it to a 4th gen category. The Mk II is expected to bring it closer to gen 4.5 specs using modifications on the existing airframe and bringing in advanced radar and weapon systems. While again, it's not meant to be a strike/air...

Ships are cheaper than air travel. Plus there is a facility to take your car with you on the ferry. Tourist spots from both sides will be the beneficiary.

well...It doesn't happen in my universe. Can I get an invite into yours?

Would love to visit Sri Lanka. Funny thing is, I was trying to book Sri Lanka for my honey moon later this year, but it's so accessible, my fiance thinks it's not a "foreign destination" :)).

I disagree...Indian fast bowlers tend to be really fragile and injury prone. What I see (as an optimist) is a pool of fast bowlers allowing India to pick and choose and this list definitely includes Ishant Sharma. Frankly, for Indian cricket this is unprecedented and it'll be interesting to see...

SUch theories do keep coming up. People who believe refer to the Bhagwad Gita quote by Robert Oppenheimer. But no rational explanation or evidence backing such claims. For the time being, we can just take them as they aremeant to be...mythology.

Unlikely. Aircrafts are not the only defence items India is buying. There is a whole gamut of areas where they can come in. There is hype behind this deal because of the sheer numbers involved.

For once, I agree with you. But it's unlikely that South Korea will purchase outside the US-NATO supplier list.

COngrats to SL for this. We South Asian countries are known to be painfully bureaucratic for entrepreneurs to flamboyantly carry out an enterprise. But perhaps that has shielded this region from the brunt of the global economic crisis and allowed growth when the world was fearing recession. The...
