I wasn't creating any definition. I was trying to explain how a democratic country with a functioning parliament operates. I know now, that explaining democratic process to a Pakistani fauji is like milking a bull. Yes, the context is clear provocation from Pakistan. D!ck, I have been...

I was wrong. India did purchase it, while Canada financed the exchange difference. EDIT: The total cost of the project was $ 17 mil, of which Canada provided a foreign aid of $ 9.5 mil. India paid the rest and that included labour/material cost, cost of freight, insurance etc.

So far so good.. And we are back. What safeguards did India by-pass?

Mr Joe is currently busy due to some personal reasons. In case you haven't noticed, people do have a life outside of intertwebs.

Also, China got several chances to get it right. We got one shot at it. Just one.

Just for the record, the 'material' was all Indian. Came from Jaduguda mines.

Unless we are talking about high school bullies brawling over a chick, nations with strong democratic institutions don't and can't change intent overnight, on a whim, in a vacuum, without a context. Capability must be matched adequately by a well thought out policy to use that capability in the...

One could argue that it is the intent that is everything. It is intent that drives one to acquire capability, formulate policy and act accordingly. India hasn't acted in any way that would be indicative of a policy of unprovoked preemptive strike against Pakistan. India's capability only matches...

Quit pretending that you know anything about Indian Bengalis, particularly the ones from West Bengal. You don't. You are making assumptions that are not waded in reality. And no, there is no 'cultural invasion', no matter how you wish it was. And if Bollywood is the index for measuring 'cultural...

I was expecting this bloviation. As usual, you have sidestepped the context, and gone into a pretty long winded rant that doesn't come close to addressing the issue of why IA is Pak oriented. That IA is Pak oriented is an accepted fact and is the very basis of this whole argument. How...

Now I have heard everything that there is to hear.

Your desperation to raise a strawman is reaching new heights of absurdity. 'ORBATs, disposititioning of forces and their capabilities' or 'the difference between a RAPID and a standard infantry division' are just as relevant to the topic at hand as is the colour of Santa Clause's underwear...

Doing a good job at missing the point. Anyone else and I would have assumed that it is an honest mistake. You, well, are just incapable. Now go learn some 'logic' and then come back.

If UN agreement doesn't matter why do you bring it up every now and then. But your sense of obligation to signed agreement - no less than a UN agreement - is appalling. Kind of establishes what we Indian's are saying - that Pakistan is a psychotic, irrational and reckless nation, which has no...

Don't you know the difference between 'being deployed' and 'being in the barracks'. And yes, I know it. That is not your original thought. Musharraf was the one who started peddling this flawed line of logic and you, like many others, have swallowed it hook, line and sinker without sparing thought.

You are forgetting that previously, a UN agreement was signed where both the countries agreed to a ceasefire. By attacking Kashmir, Pakistan unilaterally broke that ceasefire agreement. Same with Sir Creek. Maybe once in a while instead of being a typical Pavlov, try to use some brains. Also...

Now provide documented evidence that 80% of IA are deployed at Pak border. We will talk after that.

Where propaganda is school curriculum, what more can one expect. '71 didn't happen in vacuum. There was a precursor to it. 1965. Remember how you attacked India, first at Sir Creek and then in Kashmir, unprovoked, at one of our weakest moments, and how you followed it up giving refuge to Naga...

All of IA is not deployed along the Indo-Pak border. They are in their barracks far away from the borders. What else do you expect GoI to do? Dismantle it's war machine just because PA is temporarily busy shoveling it's own $hit. What happens when PA is done fighting it's Frankensteins? Unless...

Hitchens is pissed. Really, really, really pissed.
