Ye border to abhi recently bana hai sir, is se pehle it was the same region. AApke ghar mein aur ludhiana ke gharon mein chittar se bacho ki pitai same tareeke se hoti hai, for example. Even if there is any incremental benefits in the state of our poorest vs your poorest, it would still not...

Sir, that is an astute observation. Fact is that, India and Pakistan have secessionist movement, India has more because of the mere fact that we are more diverse. With diversity, the probability of finding conservative extremists wanting uniformity and conformity will be high. It's just a matter...

Sir, the thing that separates abrahmic religions such as what you follow (I am assuming that you are a practising muslim here) from dharmic religions, such as the one Sikhs follow is that dharmic religions do not put religion in front of the nations they live and die in. In fact they are no...

Have people not noticed 100s of sikhs wearing Indian jerseys during matches? Why do we even map political affiliations with religion? Sikhs can and should support the nation that feeds them whether it's india, pakistan or canada. We south asians need to grow up, lecturing on patriotism while we...

"Kamboj" is a rajput surname in India as well, apart from the variants that you mentioned in your post.

Mate, I don't think it's 'curable'. You may have to grow a thicker skin

It is symbolic and stupid. As if Indian goods will surpass the Chinese ones overnight in quality and affordability. India along with Pakistan and BD will always be a lucrative market for Chinese companies with the price sensitive masses we have. Any regulatory change to inhibit trade will...

I don't think it was a CAP. Was the mig airborne around the time the intrusion happened? I think in an interceptor role, the fuel tanks for added range would be counter-productive. Maybe Windjammer can confirm if the above hypothesis is correct or not.

I agree. Ignoring the hullabaloo of social media, nations dont stop a war when they suffer casualties. I am not a big fan of the current govt. or the way the episode was handled, but when you go on a war footing, you commit and dont look/hold back and reflect back only when the dust settles. As...

Why is Pakistan returning the pilot without securing any assurances from India? I am obviously not complaining being an Indian, but curious as to what this would achieve. How would the armed forces reconcile with this move? The Indian govt. seems to be quite serious about escalating IMO. I dont...

I think (this is purely speculative) that it was a rescue attempt while the shot down wing commander was about to crash land or had just crashed, and the eagerness of the rescue team might have caused the rusty Mi 17 to stress out and fail. IAF has its own commandos and SAR teams. This is a...

Nothing unites a nation like war, any conflict would result in incumbency being promoted over everything else. It's beyond being only about election specific optics now

I am quite certain that the response from our side would not entailing suing for peace right now. The dogs of war have been unleashed unfortunately

Can't deny that we have capabilities on both sides but there is not point in claiming victory over anything. The next few days will be tense, we might be staring at the first proper war in more than 40 years. Smart people on both the sides will be busy creating set-pieces and battle strategies...

Coming from an official handle, it must have some truth attached to it. The entire forum is going crazy right now, difficult to establish real news from fake news

I have been wondering the same. Why would the BD govt. get the impression that def.pk is run by GoP? Unless there is more to our lovely forum than meets the eye... Not saying that the member you quoted is uneducated, but the colloquial version (most often spoken by semi-literate folk) of urdu...

did you file a report?

I don't think they were after arabia, it was Jerusalem and strategic forts around it to keep their supply chain oiled. Jerusalem had a tremendous case for it, it had trade and religious importance. Arabia was a desert with no strategic/economic value Dolls=idols? I am not religious but I am a...

I think conquest needs a case for it. If you look at the northern extremes of India, the 'conquered' lands went up till it became economically nonviable to go any further (himalayas). Towards the west, beyond the Punjab and it's fertile plans, there was no real incentive to get into the arid...

The name came from the Sanskrit word for the river Indus - Sindhu which also is the reason the area around the river was called Sindh. The Greeks picked up Sindhu and dropped the "S" and the "h". https://www.ancient.eu/article/203/etymology-of-the-name-india/
