What logic did she offer for her opinion?

To what extent the U.S. and the U.K. are acting in concert with Pakistan to sabotage Hamid Karzai's initiative is difficult to judge but all three protagonists seem to be on the same side. With just a fortnight left for the “jirga” or tribal council to be held in Kabul, the prospects do not...

Actually, during the final moments of the passage of the India-specific nuclear deal at the IAEA some countries like Austria expressed reservations. But the US ensured the passage of the deal. It is debatable whether non-proliferation has been strengthened or weakened by this deal. What had...

Hi, I am not sure where to put this article. If mods feel that this is a good one then i request them to put this article in its correct place. Thanks. http://www.hindu.com/2010/04/10/stories/2010041067011200.htm Working quietly and even stealthily, Pakistani politicians have pulled a...

It means that India's soft power is quite effective. I am sure that if this article is even half-true then the Sri Lankans will appreciate Indian efforts. Supplying military equipment and training is not the beginning and end.

All countries have internal problems. If that be the reason to avoid war then Pakistan and India would never have gone to war. Our war of words supports the hardliners within and outside the establishment. If Pakistan had been capable of carrying out offensive operations against India, then the...

Yes, not using MKIs might be a better option. No wonder there has been feverish activity going on over the Brahmos block-II. But Pakistan may send a few Baburs as well. I hope that our missile defenses can intercept them. But thinking this way means that we are forever closing the surgical...

If India does decide to carry out surgical strikes, there is little chance conflict will remain limited to surgical strikes only. No doubt Pakistan will choose to retaliate in good measure. The only question is how much will be the escalation of conflict. I sometimes wonder that if India...

Oh Stealthji, apko kya hota rahta hai beech-beech mein ki aise comment dete ho?

Hi, In the forum rules it is mentioned that 15 posts are required to become a full member. But i have become a full member with 7 posts. On the other hand i have seen members with 50+ posts still being labeled as 'fresh'. Could the management clarify? I brought the topic up as i thought...

Hi, During the time that the Indo-US nuclear deal was getting finalised, there was considerable opposition on the grounds that nuclear power is a costly option unless it is used in significant amounts. What will the cost of electricity of such a plant in Bangladesh? Will it be economically...

Hi, The fight between the Bangladeshi and Indian members aside, the main gist of the article should be taken in the right spirit. It is calling on the Indian government to take adequate steps to ensure that the recent bonhomie between the two neighbours continues irrespective of whichever...

Hi, A few weeks back think tank MastanKhan strongly advocated the purchase of older Mirages from UAE or Saudi Arabia. Perhaps these F-16 acquisitions will ease his worries to some extent.

Hi, These positive sentiments from India seem to be related to Sheikh Hasina's regime. In order for India to be convinced that Bangladesh is not unfriendly one needs to wait longer and see what paths the successive administrations take. Currently how popular is the Sheikh Hasina...

Hi, It remains to be seen whether this will increase any pressure on Pakistan. US is right now treating Pakistan in a much better way. US too is dicey about allowing Indian intel agencies access to Headley. By the way, has this news been confirmed by other sources, like American media houses?

@Mahakaya, I think that Araz meant that inducting the Israeli AWACS would be a faster option. Even though it is costlier, babus getting their pockets filled, etc, the past record of DRDO does make one feel doubtful about the delivery times. Though of late DRDO is getting the job done in a much...
