Wake up. The world is very different from what the Hindustani state has fed you.

Spare me this BS. You can believe what you want to believe. Keeping your eyes shut and day dreaming will neither change history nor change blunders into successes and vice versa.

Keep living in a fool's paradise.

Actually there is no guarantee on that black money remaining white for long. As the tax reforms have lagged, the money will be processed and then tax evasion will go back to the previous level. The thing is that no strong arm tactic can solve this. Nothing can beat Human intelligence. It is like...

No the growth in the past 25 years were the result of economic reforms. I think it stemmed from the opening up of the Indian economy to international trade and investments. Before that period, the Indian economy was severely restricted by the license raj. However, those reforms can only give so...

Of course the culture of tax evasion has to end, but all economists, including the respected RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, were vehemently opposed to demonetization as a tool to enforce that. It had a great cost and it had very little effect. I will give you an example. The Modi government...

I fully agree with you here, but as a very involved investor myself, I would also say that betting on Modi is not the same as betting on India's economy itself. The performance of the Indian economy right now is a mix of exuberant international investing and speculation, which is known to be...

No I meant it in a different sense. As a business environment, the country must ensure consistency and avoid surprises. India already has a reputation for aggressive tax collectors and policy reversals.

The problem is that this seasoned electorate is facing an even more seasoned political machine of the BJP, which has even managed to turn the disaster of demonetization into a political victory. There is no guarantee that Modi will not be able to turn the dissatisfaction of the economy into...

Businesses don't like surprises. And confidence once lost is very difficult to regain.

We hear this a lot, but what has Modi really achieved? This is a great big marketing campaign which is a lot of hot air, but no real substance. There is no doubt that if Modi is not able to deliver, the Congress will return. But what will be the cost of his misgovernance? As the congress is in...

Lame. Firstly, muslims consider the pig as unclean and so try to avoid it as much as possible. Even non practicing Muslims who openly drink alcohol prefer to avoid pork. Indians on the other hand are making new products out of gao mutra. There is even a rising conglomerate by the name of...

This is just politics. There are universal rights for both upstream and downstream nations. No one can claim a whole river just because it originates from our land. In any case, the budget of AJK is mostly financed from Pakistan as AJK is not financially strong enough to do it themselves, AJK...

I don't get it. Who takes away whose water?

I have explained previously that size is a distinct disadvantage and air forces only use larger planes if they have to make long range sorties. Otherwise, smaller planes are much better. If a larger plane can carry a heavier war load, it also costs much more to operate. It is much better to have...

The territory of Azad Kashmir has had an autonomous status since 1948. When the area was liberated, it was kept separate so that it could be merged with the rest of Kashmir once it got its independence from India. It has its own parliament and executive, but the LOC is guarded by the Pakistan...

Operating costs are major considerations. An F-15 costs USD 40000 per hour, while an OV-10 costs USD 1000 per hour, although both have been used for coin operations. The difference between operating an SU-34 and a jf-17 would also be great. The SU-34's main benefits are range and deep strike...

The JF-17 itself is a good enough platform for most of the top air forces. The success of this deal will depend solely on politics and of the big powers don't intervene, it might go through.

I had realized I was talking to a chimpanzee.
