not as per Bhutan's side. And that is exactly why its called "disputed" and not "encroachment" by China into Bhutan. the land might as well belong to China, but as of now, its claimed by Bhutan as well. this needs to be resolved and demarcated BEFORE you do anything permanent with it (like...

buffer zone from what? the Ocean? If India cannot hold on to its land, how can Bangladesh hope to hold on to it? please look at Chinese way of dealing with a disputed border in SCS, India etc - they unilaterally build up structures and change the status quo. replace that with any other two...

why would a country do all the heavy work, capture another province and hand it over to another country?

it will also have an effect on economies dependent on China - a la CPEC. you (Pakistan) should be figuring out diplomatic ways to stop a war from starting as Chinese economy - if affected by war in a big way - will also effect Pakistan's future through CPEC.

winter is coming India. sorry couldnt let the moment go :P

why is it good for SL? at best its neither positive nor negative. China is not SL's enemy, it wont bother SL if China berths its naval assets there.

best role for tejas: tech demonstrator for every local made subsytem.

this rhetoric of war seems to be a case of "who blinks first". India's side of narrative says it is defending Bhutan, Chinese narrative says It is Chinese territory. while the neutral narrative seems to be that this is "disputed territory". whichever way, when 2 countries claim the same area...

my two cents: had China chosen India over Pakistan, the resulting Asian union would have ruled the world. Pakistan eventually being either pushed towards more islamism (arab influence - joining the arab sphere of influence) or towards more secular development and join the Asian Union. would have...

OBOR = we want to you to build a road by taking loans from us, so we can sell you goods that we made, at dirt cheap prices, rendering your local industries useless and taking in all your money. its a clever ploy actually. got to give it to the chinese ingenuity. I truly admire them

any links to substantiate this? or is this just what you feel like the numbers should be?

wasn't interest for f-16 (or other single engined fighters) was shown "despite" the home grown fighter?

pretty sure since a lot of pre-islamic religions have flourished in the place, there would be people of importance visiting or living there. Isnt the budhist university in Pakistan? just go to the world heritage sites in pakistan list - taxila (budhist university). pretty sure there were some...

I dont like that idea. mass transit coming right into a crowded mall. the arianna grande bombings are a reminder of what can happen.

any specific items MM is eyeing from India? I ask because this would probably break the ice for India (not really known for export worthy def equipment - at least not enough capacity to take care of own needs and also export)

@dani191 israel seems to think they got a good deal. I mean - they need not sign the deal if they dont like it? thing is - Israel gets $ to research more advanced versions - and also cheaper manufacturing from India (for future production in big numbers). Israel is also setting up a sort of...

that should be the simla agreement. It was talked about in length in this forum many times over. from wiki (does any Indian member have official source of the Simla agreement so I can go over the content?) " Both countries will "settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral...

I thought the Pakistan- China closeness pre-dates Indo-Israel relations. and also, India had to find support once it realized Pakistan and China were in it together. so - maybe they got it the other way round.

lets not call it "phobia". there is nothing to be "afraid of" here. but, many people do not like sharia or islam or some of its practices. and thats perfectly fine and allowed. having a different view does not make someone an islamophobe. it makes him/her a human.
