The funds will be used to build a...
The satellite imagery obtained in September show Pakistan racing to complete the reactor. This simply means that construction has been on & money spent during the floods, while Pakistan was appealing for international aid.
Look at the irony of it all. Pakistan has scant resources and you...

A dispatch from Beijing: After the Peace Prize, China's democracy activists remain wary and watched
By ZHANG ZUHUA
It has been a busy two weeks in China. Last week, my friend, the imprisoned dissident Liu Xiaobo, won the Nobel Peace Prize for his...
Just checked. Nearly everyone is reporting that the Khushab-3 is not yet operational. Here is a link from the Telegraph for your benefit.
Pakistan's nuclear arms push angers America - Telegraph
This article clearly says that the cooling towers have just been completed & the reactor can begin...
Spending on the nuclear programme is an on going process. Even with the commissioning of the reactor huge amount of money is being spent on the nuclear programme. Had the large amount of money spent on the reactor earlier been used to build a few dams or even maintain properly the existing water...
What about the huge amount of money spent on the nuke programme? People are amazed at the size of the nuclear programme, in relation to its size.
Yes India has its humanitarian problems. But we spend a huge amount of money on these as well. If you have heard about the NREGS, subsidy,PDS and...
Even if what you say is true, this simply just does not justify the huge amount of money that Pakistan spends on its nuclear weapons programme, especially when you have such pressing humanitarian issues.
I remember the article that you are referring to. The reporter in that article was...

Pakistan officials say they...
Things are not that simple. The US might need Pakistan now but they clearly have long term plans with India in mind. Bush shared the biggest "laddu" with India in the form of the Indo-US Nuclear Deal when Musharraf was fighting the WoT for them in Pakistan. & Musharraf who had much more...
From what i know form talking to a couple of infantry officer, the INSAS is a good gun it does its job pretty well. There are no concerns with the rifle as the article seems to suggest. The Army is satisfied with its performance and is not unduly worried.
Secondly for anti-terrorist...
I seriously doubt that there is an Indian angle to it. For, India has very limited or virtually no influence in the Middle East. Both Israel and Russia came together for mutual benefit - the Russians wanted Israeli drone technology & the Israelis did not want Russia to sell the S-300 to Iran...

To be able to answer i should know what you are asking. Do rephrase.
Just follow the recent India-China news & discussion on the forum and you would know. I cant go on repeating it for the benefit of every newbie who pleads ignorance on the topic. Its gets monotonous.
So do please read up and then if you any specific question then i will be happy to answer them.
Don't be too sure about that. Manmohan Singh is pacifist by nature & does not what to join issues. But China's assertiveness has lead to lot of rethink in New Delhi. Prior to this assertive attitude it was only the military (and right fully so) that was concerned about the threat, now the...
If by strong military ties he means India should buy more military equipment from the US, then we should be very cautious. American equipment is neither sanction proof nor does it comes with no strings attached.
We should only get that equipment that gives a decisive edge & not end up buying...
