I know about the geographical confusion that caused Native Americans to be labelled as "Indians ", but I am confused about how Indonesians are refered to as Indians in a derogatory way?

I don’t think they were/are. Are you talking about native Americans? I am trying to curb my shock at what you have written by asking for more clarity.

The Indian public will tear the govt. to shreds if this is true. I don't think a democratically elected govt. indulges in cross-border terrorism. I have two questions here: Is there any tangible proof linking this attack to GoI? How's it in India's interest to support Islamist terror groups in...

Not true. Please share a source for this claim of yours.

Having multiple platforms that have completely different SoPs and support structures is a huge drain on resources and dilutes the operational effectiveness. The world is moving aways from having sepcialist combat aircrafts to multi-role fighters for this reason. In my opinion, the smart thing...

This part right here: Not grouned on facts and hence an opinion. There isn't a "model" here per se, just an evidence-based opinion that I mentioned, which puts things from the perspective of education and literacy. You sound like a racist person who deals in absolutes (the white race is...

Atheism zindabad! Remove anything manmade that can be used as a political tool to sink the ship of humanity.

Most of your post is basically your opinion so there’s no discussion to be had. The Che DP was because I wanted to flame-bait a few left leaning forum members in 2008. Have been too lazy to change it. We are in the woowoo land of speculation now, all I am interested in discussing is an...

Look mate, the Danes were freakin barbarians in the distant past - look at Denmark now. German tribes across the Danube were the definition of uncivilised people for the Romans. Japan is another example. Now all these "cultures" were called various names and were thought to be irredemable at...

I think the question can be answere by having an ecosystem view - Has Pakistan's GDP grown better in relation to India's GDP? Has Pakistan's Heavy Industry sector performance improved relative to India's? Are Pakistani Tech. and engineering institutes producing more research papers than their...

Paritally agree with what you wrote. Education, in the fullness of time, is the only true enabler here. The idea is to focus on imbibing an entrepreneurial spirit in the population as well as a pursuit for perfection. China and Japan and the Asian tigers are the best examples of keeping your...

Not true mate. We have had very good metal bands with front women.

I have no idea what that meant. Dont get fixated on labels, look at the merit of the arguments. Name companies, let's talk case-by-case. Most humans are employed in the primary sector does that mean that you aspire to become a farmer? (not that there is anything wrong with that). You are...

It 100% is. Inputs and outputs have monetary value, a balance sheet attributes auditable value to assets, which are paid for (in INR or USD) by the customers (IA,IAF, Sri Lanka, etc.) I don't care if it's one cadre that's more at fault than the other, the whole system of not working to make a...

Yes that is my exact argument. Security of the state has to be overseen by the state in a democracy and hence the army has to be managed by the state. The armed forces don't operate as a business, they are not expected to make monetary returns for capital invested, I don't know what the...

If the objective of the organisation is to add value (produce cutting-edge weapons that provide value to the armed forces and give them a combat edge against other technologically advanced armies) then the focus has to be effectiveness, efficiency and research as organisational principles. These...

I was trying to move away from the topic till your buddy wrote another condescending post referring to me as a kid. The level of obnoxiousness is of epic proportions with this one, which is the reason why I 'jumped' into this thread. My point has been his throwing his imaginary weight around on...

My comprehension skills are working fine. India has more people than Pakistan, doesn’t mean that Pakistanis don’t pick up IT jobs. Your country’s IT services exports are growing rapidly. 70% is because of base effect. Look man, I am not here to change your mind. In terms of who eats meat and who...

Yeah well the guy is not a reliable source if you are looking for facts. I have tried to look at his tweets objectively, but the process quite frankly exhausts my neutrality reserves. Mr. Swain to his credit is Gandhian but like many who put ideology ahead of facts (as noble as the ideology may...

Definitely Kashmir then. Only Chinese manufactured grenades are pelted in the Naxal belt.
