Then I think by the time the AMCA gets done, America would be flying 7th generation fighter jets :lol: I think with the LCA program, India is now capable of manufacturing Mig 21 kind of 3rd generation jets, with some 4th generation avionics. That is my evaluation of DRDO's capabilities. A 4.5...

Of course the breakfast part was in 1967. It happened!! They picked a time when they would go for breakfast, am not kidding. In the 1973 war, the Israelis were praying when the Egyptians attacked in tandem with the Syrians :D

No, technologically even in 1967 the Arabs were almost equal or in some instances, better. Israel did lots of preparation. They had taken a Sherman or a Patton tank, fit it with a new french gun, devised new strategy to repair tanks extremely fast and return them to the battlefield (because they...

Its wrong comparison. You cannot compare the British Empire etc vs any other country TODAY. For instance, if you take the British Empire of old times, and pit them against India of TODAY, India will crush them. Because there is a difference in technology, war tactics etc., Even if they have more...

Its excessive and needless nationalism and chest thumping. The end of world war I saw the peak of the Turkish Ottoman Empire come to an end. The Ottoman Empire, and present day Turkey was occupied by Greece, France and UK if I am right. Then after a 3 year independence war, they won and they...

Religion is an ideology. So what it actually IS is not the issue. Its how it is interpreted by the majority. But you are right, eradicating one dogmatic concept will only create another. The right way to go about it is education yada yada yada like I said before.

Someone started a thread the other day to discuss about the ways to root out Islamic extremism from society. Now this is exactly what you call extremism, that is rooted in the very culture of the religion. Unless and until these clerics are silenced, the Muslim societies adopt liberal thought...

Hyperboles and strawmen are not logical arguments and as such do not logically counter an argument. Your statement still doenst mean anything. Please quote me again and tell me where I have said that "women are special" and should be given "privilege" ? I am not sure if you even read my post...

The bigotry amongst Bangladeshis was the most surprising indeed, atleast for me. Except for Zabaniya and a couple more.

China's engagement of Pakistan is solely geo-political and commercial in nature. It has nothing to do with "friendship". China has never been that kind of a friend. They use Pakistan in order to balance out India and at the same time dominate trade in that nation. Thats all it is. But most...

This is a strawman argument. Women that want to kill will kill, no one allows them. Similarly men who want to kill will kill, no one allows them. So that kind of an argument is stupid to say the least. However in my view its backward to tell a woman what she can/cannot do. Women should be able...

Nag is not a manpad launched version. Its a Helicopter launched or a vehicle launched version if I am right. The manpad version is still in development to the best of my knowledge.

Yeah, now dont go crazy on the "zionists" and start complaining if Israel retaliates with airstrikes. They will definitely want to take out these guys.

No my view of modernity is not to get women naked. It is to allow women to get naked if they WANT to, without losing my mind. I believe its their choice. Liberal thought will bring modernity. Conservative religious thought, will bring extremism. Whether you have schools, hospitals etc wont...

I personally feel the same way, which is neutral. But I think there is far more hatred and paranoia on Pakistan's side, when compared to India. But I have also come to understand some sane voices from the Pakistan side, and I have also seen some extremist voices from India. I have also...

What? 1973, Israel was caught by surprise. But they fought back and ended up a few miles outside Cairo and Damascus in Egypt and Syria respectively. Secondly, they didnt lose Sinai. It was given back to Egypt in a peace deal. Since then Egypt has ceased being Israel's enemy. As for US helping...

Its a 1.3 million strong force, that needs to protect itself from a force of about 3 million (strategically and militarily speaking). Given the fact that most Tanks today come with very good armor, we might need more missiles than necessary, to account for losses, damages, inaccurate firing etc...

Already replied to this lengthy piece of Pakistani propaganda on that history thread. TheFalseHistorian (Ticker) at work again!! :fie: :lol:

Sports is just not in our culture. In the US Indians make up less than 1% of the population, yet they make up 13% of all college going students. So our culture mandates that we concentrate more on studies and such. Back in India we do the same, plus our govt doesnt allocate proper funds for...

Pffft. You are boring. :blah: :blah: Aha! Never knew that! Thanks for the info :) And yes now I get it. Thats why people go to the gym take these creatine supplements. Is it a protein? Maybe because steak is full of protein it helps?
