Please point that out to 'The Economist', i am sure they will be happy to correct it. Usually they do proper research before printing facts & figures like that.

No offence mate, but thats what 'The Economist' says. Do ask them to update it. I will myself be happy to note that Islamabad's all wether friend had given it (or offered) more money than it's arch rival India.

What surprises me is that China just offered $ 18m for flood relief. Heck!! we had offerd Pakistan $ 25m.

Pakistan and China: Sweet as can be? PAKISTAN’S ambassador to Beijing, Masood Kahn, was this week fully armed with metaphors to describe the robust friendship between the two countries. “We say it is higher than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, stronger than steel, dearer than...

What makes you think that the Americans will only limit the action to Afghanistan. If push comes to shove I am pretty sure they will have no qualms about crossing the Durand line. Then Pakistan might just become another Afghanistan.

The US-Pak relationship is already bad & this when they are supposed to be allies in the same war. The important question is what happens when the leverage enjoyed by Pakistan in the form of Afghanistan disappears? This will simply spell doom for Pakistan. I was under the impression that...

Dude don't make it a flame thread, now that all the people here have worked so hard, not to make it one. China is a much better than us in many aspects, we should be sincere and recognize that.

The Bangladeshis equally fought well for it, lest not forget their contribution to the struggle either. After all they were the ones who payed a very high price in terms of life.

The US has shown in the past that they are a very unreliable supplier. This should be kept in mind by GoI before going in for US equipment.

Indeed this is more pragmatic. Talking to the real center of power makes sense, for there is no point talking to the civilian government in Pakistan as they can't deliver.

What nonsense!! Can you provide a credible link for your nonsensical claims? I bet you cant!! This statement is reason enough not to bother reading the rest of the drivel that you have written. Go ahead keep day dreaming. The fact remains that India has had a plan for using Thorium & used it...

India's Kakrapar-1 was the first reactor in the world to use thorium rather than depleted uranium to achieve power flattening across the reactor core. Here is the link : Thorium: Cleaner Nuclear Power? - Power Technology India, which has about 25% of the world's thorium reserves, is...

Mate, you should be bestowed the tile, "The Creator of Legendary Threads". Thanks for keeping us indulged with such a potent combination of, awe & inspiration!!

The last example was made in 1979 & we all know who got kicked in the crotch. Nice attitude. Shows that you have a lot of growing up to do. Nevertheless, the West says the same thing about your products & labor. And you don't reign in the North because you chaps want to play politics...

So when do you think that the balance of power will shift enough for countries like Japan to shift alliances? As for your second point i agree that no non-US allied power has any credible allies, but again no non-US power is placed in such a precarious position as China is at the moment...

Watched too many 'Godfather' movies have you lately!! You are welcome to try though.

The whole concept of Article 370 & partial autonomy was to accommodate the immediate concerns of the people of J&K, to make the transition into the Indian Union a smooth process. It was never meant to be a permanent solution. So going back on designations like 'wazir-e-azm' & 'sardar-e-riyasat'...

Good going!! Indian ship building & design has really reached a certain level of maturity.

Well, Pakistan tried it out & look where they are today. It will be imprudent to forget these valuable lessons in a hurry.

Yes alliances do shift when the balance of power shifts, but surprisingly it has not happened in the case of China (soft power yes, to certain extent but military power certainly not). China has gone to become the 2nd largest economy from nearly nothing a few decades back, but seems to lack any...
