what amazes me is that no matter how much of a mess pakistan is in, some still find some pleasure bringing up Kashmir! Trust me, Indian controlled Kashmir is in a better state than most of Pakistan now. And as for international pressure, so far no one, not even Pakistan's Arab friends, have...

May the brave commander rest in peace. It is truly tragic how soldiers die even during peace time.

It is a humanitarian mission, but it also has other objectives. read my post again, i said its not just a humanitarian mission. Bhai, this is politics. Lets face it, we are not a rich country. so if we spend a billion dollars in afghanistan, it is also to win over local support, and to use...

Not to mention the Indians! :D i think Malayalis spoil their kids too much! Many a times i have heard this, "ithiri kude kazhikeda monu. midukan avande?" (eat a little more son, u want to be smart?) in a very pampering voice. Btw, this happens when we are in our late teens even! I have seen...

Stupid suggestion. Where have you seen a military rule go well? The army has only one purpose, and that is to guard the state against threats. Our civilian government, despite their weaknesses and incompetence and ineptitude regarding certain issues, have managed to make India a rising economic...

Areesh, ask yourself if you would want anyone you love, or yourself, to live under the Taliban for even a few days. If the answer is no, then think of the people who have to bear them while negotiations are going on. think of the people who have to bear them if the Taliban reaches a consensus...

very good achievement :tup: Congrats on a job well done :cheers::china: there is a lot of untapped potential under the sea, like minerals. This can help study and utilize those. I hope India also achieves this soon

Excellent post :tup: I have always been surprised how Pakistan was amongst the few US allies who didnt benefit from America's alliance. If you look at some others, like Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Turkey you will see that thy benefited vastly. Post world war 2 all these countries were...

Its not just a humanitarian mission. The idea is to increase our economic reach and 'soft power'. Having influence in Afghanistan is a gateway to the mineral riches of central Asia. thats our main goal of increasing influence in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. We need to win the hearts and minds of...

Its called selective acceptance. Accept Islamic identity and shun Bengali culture and Bengali legends like Tagore when necessary. But when an opportunity to make some money or bash India arises, accept Bengali heritage and Bengali identity. NOTE: This applies only to a few Bangladeshis. I am...

bhai we also offered $5m with no strings attached. Wasn't that acceptable? It took a rap across the knuckles from USA before you accepted that. As far as i know, Israel's offer for help has been completely ignored. So its not like anybody asked for special invitation to help. Everyone responded...

Did u see the reluctance with which the $5m was accepted? It needed persuasion from the US. and when we offered to send doctors, who are desperately needed, the offer was refused indirectly, by a reluctance to issue visas to these doctors. Those were all offers at a civilian and governmental...

My god, what a pathetic article! I am Indian and it still gets me pretty riled up at how offensive the author is. Introspection and self-criticism is good, but to insult an entire nation is just sick. I think this guy needs to take a look at himself before he judges others

A truly effective ABM defence will have to have multiple 'layers'. Below is a pic of a minuteman III ICBM launch Minuteman-III MIRV launch sequence: 1. The missile launches out of its silo by firing its 1st stage boost motor (A). 2. About 60 seconds after launch, the 1st stage drops off and...

After those 2 knocks in Dambulla Sehwag has shown why he is world class. No other batsmen managed get 1 century, much less 2 centuries (that 99 was a century to me) on that nightmare of a pitch. If you see the games he scored in, the ball was swinging quite wildly. all the bowlers were bowling...

They came too late in the cold war to be symbols of cold war, like the B-52 and Tu-95. And since they are not a completely new concept like B-2 they are usually overlooked But a lancer or blackjack can still fly at supersonic speeds and deliver over 30 or 40 tonnes of destruction anywhere. and...

I think some people here are being a little too quick to laugh off this potential threat. After-all the statement was made by the Home Minister, who would know better than us internet warriors. Fact remains that there are hardliner Hindus who will resort to terrorism. The Gujarat massacres...

The biggest threat to India for now is Maoism. I think Prime Minister Singh knows a little better than fanboys online who says Pakistan or China is the threat. And one of the biggest reason Naxalites are a threat is because ignorant people still dont consider them a threat. I have heard some...

and yet he had no problem sucking up to the Japanese. All people who preach this racial superiority bull crap are those who have an innate inferiority complex, and try to make themselves superior. A genuinely self-motivated person with absolute confidence in himself/herself doesn't need a...
