Depends entirely on the time frame. If it is in the 2016-2025 period, then definitely No. We would have only 1 CBG. That is going to be put to use in Malacca to choke PLAN in the straits. A Carrier adds zero incremental gain against Pakistan as it is a neighbouring country and we have countless...

It will be super easy in India. A simple rule change and All phones and electronics will mandatorily have to carry the chip for IRNSS. Even China and Russia did the same thing. So that is 1.3 billion people captive market using the new system in one go. Secondly, we can always persuade our...

Ofcourse you don't. Because being an Islamic country allows for unabated violence against all non-Muslims in your country. You don't have to justify any violence because it is 'not a secular country'.

The Saudis must think we are like Pakistanis, who will adore & worship them and take whatever they say as Truth. :lol:

Why?

We should and will be pragmatic and not dogmatic. When circumstances change, so would we. If our land dispute with China takes an ugly turn, we should start going for alliances with the West. If our land dispute with China is resolved, we should remain neutral. Because as China starts...

Interesting titbit Sir. What was the mentality of the 80's ? It would be informative for the relatively younger board members like me.

Yeah, but unfortunately you can see a clear trend line. A couple of decades back the common man's Hindustani included much more Urdu/Persian words than it does now. Same for Bollywood. A decade back, movies and songs included a LOT more Urdu words than they do nowadays. Over the decades, use...

I'm sorry, I don't remember. I was reading about the discussions @Joe Shearer was having with some Pakistani members, @Oscar I think. And he posted these details - conversations and what was said by Pakistani leaders of old. The gist was that Pakistani leaders said that they prefer Urdu to...

I believe one of your leaders/founders stated that they preferred Urdu to Persian because they wanted strong cultural ties with India to continue. This was when there was debate going on, on which language should Pakistan choose. Language makes for cultural ties. If Pakistan had chosen...

No. It was not unnecessary. It was thanks to Kargil that Indian Army was able to stop Manmohan Singh from unilateral withdrawal of Indian Army from Siachen. The GoI under Manmohan was hell bent on removing the Army from Siachen. The Indian Army in its official report cited Kargil as the example...

I am against downsizing. But I am against any new force raising either - after raising the MSC. Instead as our economy/budget grows, I'd like the additional money to be spent on modernization instead of any force raising. The Army is also very very guilty. They don't want any change in their...

That is not an accurate statement to make. India is expanding its steel output year on year despite Chinese dumping of steel. Yes, the Chinese dumping has caused massive pain in the steel industry in India and led to losses, but even then the domestic steel companies are expanding their...

Is there any legal impediment for the Act to function now? Or Can it be rolled back for any reason (other than your State Assembly repealing it) ? I am not well versed with Pakistani legal systems therefore I ask these questions.

Is it still a bill or has it been passed and signed in to a law?

Your wish is my command! Say Goodbye To GPS! India's All Set To Switch To The Desi Navigation System Called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) Indian GPS system will be fully functioning this year itself. It covers not just the entire South Asia but Central Asia, Middle East...

Well, the thing that conspiracy nuts(generally the BJP/Jamaat kinds) miss or rather dismiss is that there is bi-partisan view in India that Bangladesh's prosperity is in Indian interest. Therefore regardless of Congress or BJP in power in India, we would ensure that Bangladesh's economic...

No. However Bangladesh, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Thailand are forming a loose economic grouping. The groundwork is being done now - visa free access between our people, open access trucking between our countries, open ports, roads, free motor vehicle movement , etc, etc. Between India...

Nope. Most Indians do not dislike RSS. RSS is not the extremist organization. VHP, Bajrang Dal, etc organizations are Hindu extremist. Congress just likes to paint them all with one brush for political reasons to discredit RSS as it poses a challenge for them. Not really. Its because BD is...

Extremely surprised Pakistan did this. But considering Pakistan Army directly is jihad terrorism sponsor number 1 for decades now, it should be taken with a bucket full of salt. That said, maybe a leopard can change its spots. Maybe they are tired of using jihadis now as even after decades it...
