    India's conventional military superiority over Pakistan is exaggerated.

    compare that with what the good general Patton said " No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making some other poor dumb bastard die for his country".

    Pakistan seeks Russia, South Korea and New Zealand's support for Nuclear Suppliers Group membership

    I think it has less to do with Pakistan and it's past follies (of which there are many). India's entry into NSG, is a culmination of demographic, geopolitical and economic factors all of which Pakistan and to an extent even "Indian State" does not have influence on. Infact if it would have...

    The New York Times Trips Up on India and the NSG

    Impossible is the word much abused but apt in case of this generous offering. India should not be granted full membership to NSG as the article correctly argues because it's not a signatory to NPT but if India is offered membership then one should not compound this folly by offering the same to...

    Aggressive China triggers Asia arms race

    Hmmm.. Sadly not worrying is a luxury which only the public has, administrators have to cover all angles. Joie de Vivre!

    Aggressive China triggers Asia arms race

    The other important and perhaps the more important question is "Who looses?" Wars are often started not out of notion of presumptive gain but presumptive losses and mitigation strategies. An entity might bear another's gain but will not bear losses to itself. Sadly in this case it is quickly...

    Is life a video game? Elon Musk

    It is rooted in quantum physics after all. If you extrapolate schrodinger's cat conundrum then you will come to realize that the whole life is in a way a simulation where we play a game of possibilities and if else. I haven't read Indian philosophy outside of few lectures during my religious...

    Aggressive China triggers Asia arms race

    Depends on how far and and what pace China will push. The on/off strategy where China lets things cool off for a few years before starting again is low risk, these days we are seeing a aggressive continuous push which is alarming and may result in confrontation. Xi is perhaps constrained by...

    Aggressive China triggers Asia arms race

    It's lovely! in fact I often visit just to clear my head. Way better than a stroll in the neighborhood parks with all pesky children, couples, joggers and what not. Though I am afraid the residents don't see it that way or do they :D I think he means that if China continues in it's merry ways...

    Aggressive China triggers Asia arms race

    I got bullied so now that i can, I ll bully others :o: Well to be fair as far as justifications go, it ain't a bad one and probably one of the more honest ones :cheers:

    The New York Times Trips Up on India and the NSG

    This is a time when important concessions can be extracted from India as it readies itself for what may be a final push. One can't fault the Ed Board of NYT for framing a slightly stilted narrative and subsequently making demands on India to stream line itself with Global Nuclear Commerce...

    Children of the Indus

    Both India and Pakistan are ancient societies and inheritors of proud traditions and culture with warts and all. It is important to preserve this heritage instead of morphing and revising records to suit the current political dispositions. If it were me, I wouldn't marvel at "more of me" in...

    Children of the Indus

    Interesting article if flawed. Nation states are formed due to variety of reasons and geographical uniformity though one of them is not the only one. I can give numerous examples from every corner of the globe evidencing that the geographical positioning such as river basins, mountain ranges etc...

    India is taking our jobs. It is not going to happen anymore, folks!” - Trump

    Trump is the sum of all our fears. However much of his boorishness is an act, I expect President Trump (Lord Forbid!) to be much more rationale and measured. Before voting for him though (Yes! I am a republican - sue me!) I would like to know more about his cabinet and advisers.
