India cannot keep on spending 70 b usd annually on defense, while the major part of 70 b goes towards salaries and pensions of both armed and civilian employees. A leaner army with better firepower (one time purchase) is needed. Defense is a necessary but unproductive activity. You get no...

how is Pakistan able to keep petrol prices so low as compared to other countries ? pkr 150 is just 64 inr. In India its around 105 to 110 inr per liter. Pakistan is in the top 30 cheapest petrol price countries in the world. https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/

democracy is messy. why get so worked up over it ? India has had 27 no confidence motions since 1963 , the first against Nehru in 1963. So in 60 odd years 27 motions. 1 motion every 2 years. Vajpayee famously lost by 1 vote in 1999. Personally i feel mqm is a better party for Pakistan because...

Pressley amendment was waived for 7 straight years and enabled Pakistan to get the bomb. FATF - Is it undeserved ? hawala is a fact of life in Pakistan. Arms embargo - I frankly doubt their is a embargo. The free stuff has been stopped from US. Europeans have supplied and are supplying high...

As the PM he doesn't have to react personally to every perceived slight. Leave the reactions to the juniors. That ensures deniability and preserves relations between the various heads of states.

see the whole speech. He even compared the Russians to the Zardaris , calling them crooks. He managed to piss off the EU , Russians and the Americans.

my 1st cousin worked in Malaysia for a few years and called it the best country he has worked in. He didn't have a single bad thing to say about it. He actually encouraged me to explore it . I though skipped it and had a extended holiday in Singapore. Is the racism directed at south Indians due...

EU didn't ask India because we are a upright and upstanding nation of the world. And what's this obsession with India when you want to have no relations with us but can't stop talking about us. Not healthy. He could have given the example of Bangladesh for a change. EU didn't try to bully BD...

why under the radar ? Is China afraid of someone ?

Also this new skywalk in new Delhi station is such a nice addition, which cannot be appreciated by outsiders. New Delhi station has 16 platforms and the metro which goes to the whole city and airport is adjoining platform 16 on ajmeri gate side. Trains from the north terminate at platform 1...

nice but so many Indian cities with metros now that it isn't news. What I am looking forward to is the RRTS from delhi to adjoining areas , by next year I believe. 180 kmph modern trains for short distances is a new concept. And the train looks nice.

inspite of more than 70 % voters saying not in the next 20 years. I am more optimistic as seen by the totally cold LOC for the last 2 years. The present COAS is a pragmatist and seems to want no unnecessary hostilities with India. And this is so unexpected as the common wisdom was that with the...

800 km range is overkill for Pakistan. It's a China specific missile. For reference- Karachi to Mumbai is 880 km straighline distance.

Wow, do you even realize how you come across to mon muslims with what you have written ? And I can see from your posts that you are quite a moderate type of guy. And you are just stating it factually. A kaffir is just above the worst of hell. Nice.

is not being a muslim such a bad thing ? You have said he was a kaffir and not muslim a few times now, as if that makes a non Muslim a lesser person. you have 1.4 b Chinese as your current iron friends .

when even educated people here, many of them exposed to multicultural societies , cannot give solutions to ending the stalemate, why expect the unlettered in our countries to follow a more enlightened path. BJP is a convenient bogey here but the foundation for the rise of bjp was laid in the 80s...

With Russia it's a emotional response for most Indians. USSR was good for India, while usa has been good for Indians... Even the Modi government's tilt towards usa cannot remove the liking average Indians have for Russia. USSR stood with India when the whole of west was against us. Not...

agree with all your points. Out of 148 odd aircrafts involved in the exercise, 108 were fighter jets, rest were transport. So I just deduced that with the transport crew and the ground teams busy with Ukraine, its pointless to have a exercise with one third of the aircrafts busy. point 2 - the...

vayu shakti postponed due to the ongoing evacuation of the students from Ukraine. Many of the heavy lifters were to take part in this exercise. They have been diverted to the evacuation effort. Are these exercises useful though ? I guess coordinating a lot of aircrafts during wartime is a...
