I love the irony in your post on not generalising a nation’s population. Yes we are all dark skinned yindoos. Anyway, given the glowing example of your education your post is, i am not going to waste my time in explaining the difference between acquired and innate traits.

We didn’t have a specialised mountain corp back then. One key difference between India and Pakistan is how India, being a democracy for most part of her existence has learnt more from set-backs. A lot of lessons were learnt from the 1962 debacle.

I think evolution takes more time than the time it took for CCP to influence internal population adjustment over the last 70 years.

Even if we forget the fact that India has one of biggest mountain warfare corps in the world, the issue is not temperature alone but the altitude involved. The best suited beings for that climate are the men and the beasts that have acclimatised over thousands of years through evolution. The...

You seemed to have calmed down.

Fun fact - a long time ago, the person whose tweet has been quoted in this thread, was a defence.pk member. Some of the older members may remember him.

There is no doubt that the Chinese have a much higher standard of living. It shows everywhere, even here in Melbourne, the city is practically owned by the Chinese. Melbourne is an education hub and hence has a lot students from all parts of the world. Chinese kids have the flashiest cars here...

A nice objective assessment devoid of any jingoism. Thanks for sharing. Hope the IAF can narrow down the millions of platforms it currently depends on, to one single-engined and a double-engined one. Since most modern aircrafts are multi-role capable, the soviet-era doctrine of...

If you were to assume that the reported "heights" (Helmet, blacktom, etc.) are within Indian control and overlay the map that Nitin Gokhale shared (image stolen from an Indian army command room), then you'd see that this image is not accurate. It seems that the heights are with the IA.

Truly shocking! Those areas are definitely within the Chinese side of the LAC, even as per our maps.

Don’t lose faith so easily in the world mate. Your attitude on the forum has been a source of positivity for me personally, there are as it is very few people who seemed to rise above the various tactical ebbs and flows of our complicated story, and see the stupidity in our narratives. Regards

Yes that’s why we have sent our ministers to Iran, to “demand” funds. After seeing our ministers come to their doorstep, the Iranians would not be able to resist our powers of in-person persuasion!

Yeah man, that’s actually what we need. Wish we could focus more on solving real problems.

I am not surprised that you quoted that show as some sort of a benchmark. It’s a terrible tv show.

Well said, PA exhibited fine soldiery when they prevented our pilot from getting lynched. No point paying any attention to a twitter trash feed. Regardless of how the idiots feel, armed forces respect soldiery. Naik and his coy exercised discipline on a day passions were running high.

I don’t claim to speak on the behalf of an entire country. If you think that my post describing a threat escalation matrix that plots the relevant parameters involved in decision making - the perception of threat vs the room to manoeuvre/negotiate, is gibberish then I can’t help but give you an...

Yeah well, there is a lot of evidence around the overall social impact that education has on an ecosystem. Hence it’s a cause close to the heart

You should ask your surgeon to use a scimitar instead of scalpel when you get operated, to keep things ‘simple’.

Mate your %figure is not clear to me. The quoted finding clearly states the conclusion.

Mate, education - access and quality improvement is what we need. All of the patriotism goes out of the window when people like myself move out to greener pastures. My goal is to start an edtech company in india to improve the quality of education. That’s the only true solution to all the ills.
