We don't have a Mountain Strike Corps till now. A regular corps won't do. We have plains based corps. The needs of a MSC are very different from the ones we have. A MSC needs to be very air mobile and mechanized. A very high number of organic transport choppers, attack choppers (light and...

Stop feeding other gullible Pakistanis. Pakistan has not made any compromise on any issue. Even where it says it has compromised (read: statements like 'we will not let Pakistani territory be used for anti-India purposes regarding terrorism), they have been half truths or outright lies.

What? They JUST signed treaties with Myanmar for travel and trade, Japan is financing what will probably be their largest port. They are mulling submarine purchases from Russia. Problem is that you don't follow Bangladeshi developments and henceforth think of them as they were about a decade...

You clearly don't understand what a Court is. The matter is sub-judice. The Court is on the job. The Government of India can not interfere in this. Where infact US did not actually submit an 'apology'. All they did submit was 'regret'. Good for you if you're happy with that. Perhaps next time...

Nothing, we realized we had much to lose in a direct confrontation being an economically higher power while Pakistan had much less to lose because it has much less. Ergo we retaliated to Pakistan using indirect means, the kind that Pakistan uses. The case is in Court. The judicial process is...

If those Hindus were Indians, they (Indians whether Hindus, Buddhists or Muslims or anyone else) will almost always find it easier to travel and faced with relatively lesser scrutiny - compared to a Pakistani or an Afghan. Not that Indians have it easy in absolute terms, but compared to you...

Does being a Pakistani make you inherently low witted? It has nothing to do with India being secular or religious. As a sovereign country we do not accept or invite any other country to pass judgements on our country. Who gives US the authority to do this? And what locus standi do they have...

You are mistaken. BD's advantage is its geography. It sits astride one of the most economically prolific areas. It has access to India, China and ASEAN! It can easily plug itself into Indian markets and ASEAN supply chain setups! In fact, it is already doing this. BD has cut some amazing deals...

India ofcourse. Bangladeshis trying too hard for otherwise ;)

Of all the countries you could have chosen, you chose the worst example. US has gone all out to aid Pakistan. To the extent that they even sent their 7th Fleet against India in 1971 war. That India outmaneuvered US by involving USSR among other things is a separate issue. On its part US did...

Indeed, whether or not this results in something, the fact that this can be discussed rationally and legally instead of howling and bombs that you'd expect in a different South Asian Muslim country is a testament to Bangladesh. It is this attitude which will ensure that Bangladesh continues to...

Gentlemen, your concern for the poor and downtrodden is appreciated but unneeded. Why? You may ask. 1. India is a democracy, not a Kingdom. What this means that we don't have a King who lords over us and dictates his will over the people. It is the people who choose the Government rather...

Bangladesh. Just won my respect. :tup: If all of South Asia became secular, we would all be a happy area instead of fighting meaninglessly. BD going back to its original Constitution is the key! BD becoming secular would have a very powerful impact on Myanmar actually becoming secular as well.

This is BNP and Jamaatis getting desperate and trying to pin things on Awami League. Just like they did the BDR revolt and tried to blame it on the Awami League. Satyamev Jayate!

Wow! That's a long time back. Why hasn't your Government conducted a new census since then?

Indeed. But there are counter examples of successful goodwill missions from other countries. Something to be learned for China. Well, India is certainly a much poorer economy than China. India's economy is roughly around $2 trillion. If Japan can fund investment to such extent that they earn...

It can - though only if you consider the context. If money is given to political leaders - then its influence that is being bought, not goodwill of the masses. and it changes as leaders change, ergo its temporary. OTOH, investment in a country means a sizeable number of people know the source...

Indeed. But it also means that India can potentially act against Chinese interests without worrying much of cessation of investment in India(the most powerful deterrent). Investment buys influence and goodwill.

Not really. Chinese investment in India is pitiable compared to how much other countries are investing in India.

Banzai!
