France and England who were sworn enemies of each other and even fought the 100 year war are today part of the Schengen and Euro with trade worth billions of dollars between them. Neither of these countries has access to the natural resources India or Pakistan have. Not to mention access to oil...

Don't completely agree with her except for the fact that India's foreign policy seems reactionary as opposed to being pro-active and assertive. But frankly, given the current scenario where US is trying to extend its influence in Asia-Pacific, it makes sense for India to be inert rather than get...

You've hit the nail on the head. France, China, Israel and I should add South Africa and Germany to the mix are usually the countries which try to go in for independent policies. India and Brazil are the late entrants to this club.

You're right NAM as a concept died with the Cold war. These days its more about multi-polarization. India seems to go with every bloc, NAM, SCO, BRIC, IBSA etc to ensure it is not clubbed into the so called "lackey" club.

Thats a common reaction to Hafizz's posts :P.

US, China woo India for control over Asia-Pacific – Latest News Updates Chinese vice premier Li Keqiang told foreign minister SM Krishna that Sino-Indian ties would be the most important bilateral relationship in the 21st Century. Looks like your next premier let down his country men in...

Multiband does not mean it will be used for other communications. It means the navy can shift between bands to reduce the likely hood of the transmissions being intercepted. Claiming it can be used for other purposes is like claiming than a Naval Warship can be used for ferrying passengers. It...

It's heartening to read about India's growing capabilities in this field.

Firstly your comments are uncalled for. Secondly the title of this thread is definitely misleading. A drone attack is always a sign of war and thats precisely the reason why your politicians have been crying hoarse all this while. Incase you've missed it, your own army is at war with the...

Not sure if you've read the article or understand what a military satellite means. A dedicated military communication satellite allow units as well as command centre to communicate securely as well as get a real time information and location relay to enable better co-ordination and rapid...

Politicians, especially Janata Party politicians are not the best source to quote buddy :P

Indian scenario for women is actually quiet confusing. Its the land of Kama Sutra but people do not like to openly talk or discuss about sex. Outside the cities, dating is usually taboo and any romantic affair is usually looked down upon. The sex ratio is heavily skewed. Illiteracy in certain...

Well the journals do show ground truth but its the interpretation that matters. As in every densely populated region, even if there are 500 non poor people to 100 poor people on the street, the 100 tend to stand out like a sore thumb. That's exactly what you see in Indian cities and towns. Try...

Please stop creating such threads. The Ramayana and Mahabharata as epics are a part of the Indonesian culture due to the ancient cultural exchange that had happened. They are merely highlighting the same in their currency. As far as its valuation goes 1 Indian Rupee=173 Indonesian Rupiah so that...

ROFL!!! Hahahahaaha. Incredible! Next they will tell us it is bad Vastu to have Himalayas in the North or Oceans on 3 sides which is causing downfall of wealth in the house!!!! I cannot believe someone actually went ahead and reported this story. The journalist should have his/her head examined!

Wonder why people assume Indonesia's inclusion would come only at the cost on India's exclusion? If Indonesia is included it would make BRIC's stronger but exclusion of India or any other member would make it weaker.

Not sure where your argument of economic prosperity comes in? The bloc and single currency would be effective only if they command 10-20% stake in global trade and banks and countries are willing to trade in it. Given the current scenario, such a move would be an economical hara kiri, especially...

Not going into comparisons, but literacy levels in both countries are way below what they should be. In India the Right to Education Act was recently brought to the fore to address this need. Also we need to take such numbers with a pinch of salt. They try to calculate using formal system of...

Single European currency came in years after the implementation of the Schengen zone and charter for free movement of goods and people. Infact, it is this free movement which laid the basis to a single currency. I dont foresee in the near future a similar situation occurring in South Asia...

Wow..Cannot believe the number of Indian and Pakistani trolls in this thread. Agreed there has been a religious divide in India but honestly it's dating back to the time of partition in India and given that even a century hasn't passed yet it still simmers under the surface. But it's no...
