Sale of prime land in Lutyens Delhi or even the parts of Cantonment areas and Railways land, or even Disinvestment in PSEs to finance the small and sustainable ventures in these areas is what is required.

@nitesh28 - Quite a few people consider the history of people as the true perspective. Emperors are just a product of the population. Only time Emperors matter is when they are alive and have a +ve/-ve contribution to history of the general populace (ie. you and me) Just my opinion that it is...

Here's my perspective and I am sure there would hardly be any Indian who would disagree. Living in India does not mean one is an Indian, only working for India does. You can surely choose your perspective for your country but I am afraid doesnt work for my country.

The whole premise of 65 was that Indians are weak and can be taken advantage of. The expectation of chinese to join in during 71. The insurgencies that Pakistanis have partnered with the Chinese till at least till 70 if not thereafter. Its ok though if you have a different assessment...

Brits have there reasons to live or die. I am sure your country has its own ideals. I want my fighting class to fight to uphold the ideals of the Indian state not of others. Tribals cannot be equated with Taliban. Only and only the naxals are a problem in fact the real problem are, the...

You are right. In fact even if the numbers were reversed I would still maintain that we are dealing with the Naxals well. Huge loss will be the day even a single innocent tribal gets killed. See Naxals are amidst the tribals. While naxals have quirky ideas, the tribals are only angry and...

Yes and it is high time we avoid putting our Army into police roles. Indian state can afford to take on the Naxals with police action and that is what is needed of course with exponentially higher investments in Intel. Whatever investments are needed can be easily mobilised for this police...

Thank god the Army refused. What we need against the naxals is some Rapid Action Force (RAF) like force for policing naxal infested localities. Cobra is also ok for quasi military operations. But Army should be used only in the rarest of rare cases (rare by the standards of Indian judiciary and...

Man we seem to be heading for some rough times. Uptill now all that man has done is to think and do in an anthropocentric way. The relationship with the non-human world is simply not in the mindspace. I have been laughed at when I mentioned my reservation at using Car and preference for 4-stroke...

Yes i agree about the meager accomplishments of all the groups you mentioned. But since a focus on the exception is what provides one with inspiration/competition..... that is why I am always in envy of these Jews. In fact if we Indians could enjoy even half of what the OEDC Jews do, my god I...

What about those who are not your immidiate relatives? If Nukes are not usable then what is the purpose of having them and holding on to them. IMO Indian NFU will hold against even China in a conventional war. See Indians wont attack any one of the Chi-Pak combination, if Pakistan...

Suspicion between Russians and Chinese did not start from the ANDREI CHANG's articles. In fact this tiff over J-10/J-11 designs started because of suspicions that Russians harboured since even earlier times. I think the seeds were laid at the time of the nuke tech cooperation. After Nuke coop...

And what makes you think BJP could not have handled it. The problem that we face in India is not the one that others do in the subcontinent or even the continent. The Small and Marginal Farmers that constitute the bulk of our underutilized and most important resource are facing a business...

Copying is ok. Everybody does that. Zombie copying is not. If you learned something new by all means copy.........or I guess I am telling this to the wrong set of guys (no pun intended).

Nope last time I read your country (think 138) is actually less corrupt then BD (think 162) and we tie with Chinese at 72. But that was only the perception index. Since you guys are ground zero for Big T and since you guys usually cry more so it could well be that perceptions about you are more...

Did anyone beat me to the post.

Buddy, if a snake come near you, you avoid it till you can and if you cannot avoid it YOU SQUASH ITS HEAD. that sorry _ _ _ gave you enough reason to _ _ _ _ him, and your softy softy heart is something you need to toughen up while dealing with these guys.

Yup and so is Zardari :azn: Oh I forgot Mush, Zia, TTP, Nawaz, Altaf, Beg and Gul. After all they did what.....

You have no real idea about the strength of these communities with rest of the Indians (It was only Pakistanis that discarded the ways of their fore-fathers - of course your choice is to be respected) Here you go. Tamils - Sir Tambis are the guys that gave us Panchyatna/Shanmat still being...

6 tril is mostly bakwaas. But as some members are saying, IMO it is rather hard to digest that there is no Oil there. Also most Pakistanis have a habbit of seeing a ghost in everything. The people who are there in Balouchland are there for political reasons. Arabs have oil and almost...
