Firstly, the Indians cannot buy whatever they want presently. You guys do not have an infinite pot of gold to afford everything. That distinction is only for the Arabs. Maybe in 10-15 years, if you manage to grow at this rate, you might be able to buy whatever you need. Not now. This misguided...

5 minutes of my life wasted on this crap.

7 foot, 3 inch...kuch aur khidmat chaidi hai :P

the answer maybe just massaging the ego. Too much time, money and resources have been put into this program and to see it go to dust will definitely be a hard thing to witness for many involved in this project. Imagine all that sunk costs. They also need present some achievement to the Indian...

Stephen Hawking was one of the great minds produced during the last century. He commanded respect in the scientific community. That being said, his disbelief in God is something that is personal. Did he speak ill of God openly? yeah, he did. Does that mean we have to take cheap shots at him on a...

Thanks for the guidance. It helped a lot in streamlining my thoughts.

better throw in a bottle with the famous "Honey" from the farms Gandapur. IK will catch it himself :P

My post was not directed at you. I am talking about the current generation of from years 20-28. Apologies for any misunderstanding.

IMO this is related change in society's perception about one's worth. Now you have to boast about yourself to get more respect. No one really likes the mild mannered decent man anymore. Everyone wants to the macho man and look cool. Hence, these things get leaked in the open.

Nothing new in services presenting their case to get a bigger chunk of the budget. That sorta inter services rivalry is common. It is amusing though that IA used the same tactic as GOI. GOI(whichever party) blames Pak for everything to get votes and IA is doing the same to get a bigger...

At this rate I wonder whose gonna be next. Tillerson's performance was not exemplary but IMO anyone would have hard time doing any productive policy formulation with Trump as President. Let's see if this new guy can bring something new on the table and stop Trump from making foreign policy...

Historically all fights in the Kashmir sector has spilled over to mainland Pakistan except Kargil. IA has used that to stretch the resources of PA. Kargil was different as at the time the military and political leadership were not even on the same book what to say of the same page. But...

Thanks for the reply and good to have you back. How about if I change my methodology and go for a qualitative analysis instead of quantitative? I had a discussion on the matter with my professor and he was also inclined towards the qualitative one.

Because you need a long term vision and then formulate policies that help you reach that vision. Finally, those policies need to implemented. In our case, we rely on ad-hoc behavior with no consistent policies. But we must also note that defense deals and collaboration takes a lot of time. Also...

I remember in your earlier threads you mentioned that pulling off Corps or maybe division sized maneuver is probably beyond the capabilities of both IA and PA. But, don't you think the WOT might have improved the abilities of PA to at least conduct such a maneuver in mountainous regions? So...

1. Yes, it is for a research paper 2. I am looking for evaluation. 3 & 4. I think I can get relevant data for 5-10 years. Would definitely appreciate your help on this matter.

How do we characterize light infantry division?

Oh bhaiyo. Koi Khuda ka khauf khao yaar. I was hoping for an answer like this:

Iran's annual budget is approximately 104 billion dollars. Ours is a paltry 45 billion dollars. It is a miracle that we have achieved so many milestone with this modest spending.

Bro that is not how the legal system of the world works. You would not be getting any inflated billions from abroad. Better to write them down off. And just for the sake of argument, even if we do get them, I doubt they will change the course of our nation. We have now developed a very unhealthy...
