As the four decade old Libyan autocracy led by Muammar Gaddafi began to dissolve rapidly over the weekend, China is adapting quickly. With India in the middle of a long weekend and its political focus riveted on Anna Hazare, Delhi might take a little longer in responding to the unfolding...

I believe this thread is asking for opinions. State yours. Nobody is going to question you if you rank Pakistan first and India last (They might if you do it the other way round). That's your opinion and everyone else is entitled to theirs. If you can't understand this simple logic god help you...

Relax dude. Was a good idea until the discussion went off course.

Interesting you say this. I had read an article sometime back which you might like reading. Google China strategic pork reserves (I'm not kidding!) ---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ---------- To be honest, it looks to be investors who are...

?? That's news to me.

The reserves will not include the gold openly available in the country in the form of jewellery or any other form of private ownership. China from what I know exports a lot of the gold and makes a clean buck out of it. The only reason it resorts to buying IMF gold is perhaps to indicate it's...

There was a time when world markets were run on bullion. The economic powers of the time amassed reserves only in gold bullions while the rest of us(China, India,Brazil) did not have the capabilities to have such reserves. That's the legacy. Even today when IMF keeps gold reserves up for sale...

With global markets on a downward spiral and gold prices touching record highs I decided to check for gold reserves held across the globe. Gold reserves are seen as safe forms of reserves,protected from market fluctuations and changes in exchange rates. Here's what I found. WORLD OFFICIAL GOLD...

The MMRCA deal is taking care of that. This deal is to upgrade existing models as well.

China has been identified in a number of other cases where dangerous additives were found in food like melamine in milk, Toothpaste made with diethylene glycol as a thickener and lead paint in kid's toys. Guess we can add one more to the list. It's sad when a greed for margins costs human lives.

Yeah..but their economy (even if it is only tourist) and stability as well as standard of living is miles ahead of nepal or bhutan.

I'm surprised you haven't included Maldives.

If you are looking for stability and economic growth, India and SriLanka. If you don't give a damn about material things and just want to enjoy a laid back but happy life,Bhutan.

A public failure is always embarassing. But a technical glitch is acceptable as compared to a crash as you pointed out. It's still a prototype. These things are expected and that's why there were safety procedures to be followed as followed by the pilot.

Point is, he isn't really a leader. Just a wannabe.

It is the era of short messages, and in keeping with the times we kick off a new feature where our writers tell it like it is, in just a few words. Today, Faisal Kidwai tells us why Imam Bukhari is wrong in calling on Muslims to boycott Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement The Imam Bukhari of...

Umm...oook....the Sadhvi who joined him just happened to be passing by? Besides, Baba Ramdev has his own poilitical party doesn't he?

Dude..you picked up the original poem in Bengali. Not the version that was taken as the national song. The Vande Mataram we sing only consists of the parts I translated, nothing more. The original piece is much longer and yes that version will contain references to Durga.
