    Modi's 'Mad Dog Posture' - Credible threat or a populist farce?

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/ericrmeyer/2014/09/23/who-sabotaged-xi-jinpings-india-visit/ The reason for this derailing was the intrusion, on the 18th of September, of 1000 PLA soldiers in Southern Ladakh, one of the two contested regions along the Sino-Indian border. The troops were bringing...

    External sovereign defaults since the 19 century

    Thanks. Curious though - if the banks become defunct, the debt of the banks is then carried forward to the bank's creditors. During liquidation, won't the government still be responsible for the bank's loans?

    'I've been raped 30 times and it's not even lunchtime'

    Why do you have to personalize this to India? This thread has nothing to do with India.

    Modi's 'Mad Dog Posture' - Credible threat or a populist farce?

    Modi is an easy target because of his nationalistic background, his belief in Hindutva (a common cultural identity for Indians) and of course, the Gujarat riots. On the flip side, he comes with a proven track record of development and ability to act more like a CEO than a prime minister in...

    China/Pakistan/India - Was Nehru smarter than Modi?

    Well you pretty much answered the topic yourself! Nehru was an egghead who tested Mao in spite of having quite an untrained military force and zero intelligence forces. China had other strategic objectives in trying to humiliate Nikita Kruschev and invading India was most likely a by-product of...

    Putin Could Soon Bring The U.S. Economy To Its Knees With One Simple Action Read more at h

    Thanks - this was insightful. One question about the Yuan undervaluation - wouldn't that cause rapid inflation in China? I'm surprised their inflation hovers around 6% in spite of this. I'm guessing this could have to do with excess supply of good their domestic market cannot sustain. It's...

    Every country with the comparitive economic and military might of the US will play the cards to their advantage and rightly so. Russia did it with Crimea - China did it with Tibet - India with Goa etc etc. Russia is trying to show its influence too. Coming few months will be interesting from a...

    Putin Could Soon Bring The U.S. Economy To Its Knees With One Simple Action Read more at h

    India will neither ally with the US or Russia militarily. Both countries are on friendly terms with us - Russia definitely more than the US, it has always been that way and we hope to keep it that way. Economic co-operation is a different story. As far as the part with India being pissed off...

    Which language should i learn ?

    A Soldier Reviews ‘Haider’ movie

    So are you afraid Indians will see it and immediately believe it? People have brains and they can decide for themselves. The ones who are against this movie are the insecure ones who do not believe Indians will support India. Additionally, by creating this racket, you are instigating a...
