Pardon the comparison with India again, but the literacy level in India is similar to Pakistan, yet democracy is the one true solid stone upon which India rests. So where exactly does education come in the picture?

True, but I did read that if the stalemate had continued, then in the war of attrition India would have won because they had more munition & supplies (being larger of course), but their intelligence goofed up & reported that Pakistan had the longer fuse.:P

In Pakistan, It seems more like 10 years of democracy followed by 10 years of dictatorship. It's as if military rule is a given if things don't work out in 1 decade's time & the dictator is thrown out approximately after 10 years. What seems to be holding Pakistan from moving forward with true...

Those who claim to "predict" the future always indulge in so called riddles, riddles that after the occurance of certain events can be reshaped by their "followers" or "believers" so as to give the impression that the prediction was correct, when it could have meant a multitude of things. If...

The Alize was also used previously during the '61 Op. vijay in driving out portuguese from Goa. Interestingly the Alize was involved in a rare dogfight with the PAF. This is rare in the subcontinent's history as this was the first & perhaps the last time (i believe) that a Naval carrier based...

It's not a contest but a comparison with ur neigbouring cities. Why should it be taken as a contest always? Can't one just compare and give an observation? just like u compare bombay with karachi.

Delhi & bombay better than karachi? hmmm. not bad, however slim the margin is. But Chennai & Hyderabad much better than delhi or bombay.

I don't think we are working overtime to starve bangladesh, it is just a case of bad planning on part of the politicos in India who seem unable to solve even the internal problems on water sharing, the cauvery water problem is one such example. More than sinister motives, I blame apathy of the...

Pakistan have to win by a margin of 24 runs if batting first or chase down the dutch total in 17 overs. This is if there is no rain. But Pak don't deserve to go through to the next stage, cuz for their captain this is "fun"!!! Let's have some fun watching the dutch who really WANT to be in...

He's got 4 holes to take shots at. Lucky guy. :D

For long, the achilles heel of the Pakistan Military was their Navy and it still continues to be so, probably because they feel they only have a small coastline to defend which is ludicrous.

They're highlighting it for the dimwit politicos, but they're choosing the media, probably cuz they're not listening enough in defence briefings.

Nobody cried cuz nobody died. UN permanent seat is important but it's value is only because of its veto, so that UN is made even more powerless by joining the stooges who veto everything, either good or bad. If u can't beat them, join them. Its not as if the pakistani-aided militants in...

That's true. China is indeed a bigger threat than Pakistan. But do they need to state the obvious & invite unwanted attention? Yes. Becaus our netas are often sleeping to this fact. Many only indulge in Pak bashing & come from semi-literate backgrounds at best so their mentality is only...

What can u do about someone who willingngly wants to be poor? I can only think about my own uncle who has acres of land worth crores & still lives in a ramshackle hut which miraculously survives every year. Each year he says once the hut falls down he'll sell off the lands and build a small...

Like the congress of Muslim League? That's the most 'oblivious to the ground realty' statement I've heard. So all the reports over the last 2 decades of terrorism in Kashmir is a figment of the my imagination? :crazy:

Pl. see previous post. And I have first hand information & experience as to how even non-muslims are treated & asked to behave like Muslims in the middle east, which is supposed to be a developed area of the islamic world. So don't even get started about how the treatment can be "better" than...
