I get two papers - TOI and Hindustan times. I think I read it in the TOI. Will confirm later though. EDIT: Ok. Check this out Teething troubles dog Bengaluru airport-Bangalore-Cities-The Times of India BANGALORE/NEW DELHI: It was a nightmare in daylight. Passengers, senior airline officials...

Not surprising. Few people in South India can speak good Hindi. So the moment they suspect that you are not from the south they immediately switch to English. A helmet is a really curious choice for a souvenir. :what: Yeah right! Nice joke. :rofl: Don't you want to include the Taj Mahal...

shrivatsa, acc. to today's newspaper BIAL made a royal mess of everything on the first day of functioning though when there was a glitch in the ATC system and caused long delays. The usual blame game followed ofcourse with the airlines blaming the airport and the airport blaming the Airports...

It would have definitely paid off for Pakistan in the short term. The only question is would the US have then started pestering Pak to give up its nuke program like they are pestering Iran today?

Maybe, but its hot as hell in India in April-May :flame: , so you would have been a lot more comfortable in Manali or Darjeeling :cool: EDIT: My slow head just realised :hitwall: that there are hill-stations in the South too. Did you visit any of them?

IceCold, After our 1974 test we were not stupid enough to believe that Pakistan would sit tight and do nothing on the nuclear front. By the 1990s both countries were pretty much sure of the other one possessing atleast some nuclear weapons. And so did the US. The tests made the...

I did not understand this reply to my post. I did not advocate the existence or non-existence of anything. :what:

Excellent point vish! I'm sure deep down the Vajpayee govt. must have been scared that, that might happen. If Pakistan hadn't tested, India would have been in much greater trouble post Pokhran.

If God was all powerful as most religions suggest he wouldn't need the Big Bang or Evolution.

... and what we can't fathom we attribute to the supernatural! That is how religions were created in the first place, because human beings couldn't fathom what was happening around them. Why did the Incas worship the sun? Because they felt it was fantastic and couldn't figure out what it was...

India and Pakistan both had nuclear weapons before 1998. What was the point in hiding it? It actually serves as a deterrent against future wars.

Neither do I!

Ok. I missed the line saying that the german's were building it under license.

How can the Germans let the US order German companies around? Don't they have any self esteem? :tsk:

You are not a moderator. So stop acting like one. Even legitimate moderators do not order people to stay out of threads.

Great! India should definitely buy these choppers if economically feasible. My only concern is the choppers being operated by the IAF. Shouldn't they be in the hands of the army? Their main functions would be close air-support and anti-tank ops. Its better if the army strike corps have direct...

Buying a catapult and integrating it with a relatively small 37000 tonne carrier which is not configured for CATOBAR ops are two different ball-games. Atleast the first indigenous A/C will definitely be a STOBAR carrier with ski-jump. We can only speculate about the next ones if and when they...

Muradk, Starting a war between shias and sunnis would be totally counter-productive to american interests. Why would they want to have a new insurgency on their hands just when they had finished defeating the iraqi army? One opinion is that americans invaded iraq for the oil and I'm...

I was trying to say that the "justification for suicide bombings" which you wrote in your post does not apply everywhere.

To what extent is the army supposed to withdraw? Swat is a part of pakistan and the pak army has the right to station as many troops as it wants in any region of pakistan.Why should they listen to these terrorists?
