    China protests over South Korea's plan for US missile defences

    There is a difference between your and my line of thoughts. I agree with Nihonjin that US seeks its own interest above all and is not a self less power. US actions have led to instability. This is contrary to your view that US is a benevolent power seeking rule of law. On the other hand, I...

    Confirmed: Iran and Russia to Co-Produce Su-30 Fighter Jet

    Incorrect assessment. Sir, Racism implies any kind of hatred based on race. I have nothing against Arabs. We have limited interactions with them. And the majority of Pakistanis(over 50%) are of my own race(though of different ethnicity). So try not to bandy about words that bear no semblance...

    Confirmed: Iran and Russia to Co-Produce Su-30 Fighter Jet

    Nobody is taking it the other way. Iran's goal of being self sufficient is one that we Indians can readily identify with for we strive for the same goal. And Iran becoming another producer is also good news for India as well. As I said, it is good to have an alternate supply chain, not only...

    Confirmed: Iran and Russia to Co-Produce Su-30 Fighter Jet

    This is fantastic news! It is all but certain now that India and Iran will deepen their engagement to wholly different level. 1. India has practically written the book on advanced air combat on the new generation Su-30's. Our pilots have trained the Indonesian AF as well. Assisting the Iranian...

    Stronger Pakistan means Stable India

    You're probably young. Which is why you think that what a leader says is important. It is not words but actions that determine a nation's true wish. Nations - Great nations or nations that aspire to become one of the great nations often play with words. They are hypocritical. They will often...

    China protests over South Korea's plan for US missile defences

    You realize that what you are advocating - is basically China taking on the role of the proverbial 'big brother' in East Asia from the US now. Which would by definition mean that Chinese actions in East Asia would be for their own gain and interests over all else....just like US actions in East...

    Stronger Pakistan means Stable India

    Empirical evidence suggests otherwise. Each time Pakistan has had economic stability coupled with generous donation of offensive military weapons by US, Pakistan has sought to wage war (declared or undeclared) on India. This happened in 1965 - when Pakistan was given massive military aid and...

    What If India Attacks Pakistan?

    Pakistan's spending on defense is over 3% of its GDP, whereas India spends about 1.8% of its GDP on defense. The difference in the percentage is the reason why each year India is pulling ahead of Pakistan in economy. We spend on development. Pakistan is a security state held hostage by its...

    Why India Suffers from the Panipat Syndrome

    The land needs to be taken back, not the people. The era of open conquest is over, but there are different means available now to achieve the same ends. I see no wrong.We need to be calculative and cold. We are far too magnanimous, its a weakness.

    UAE's Adnoc to store crude in India's strategic facility; to give two-third of oil for free

    Pakistan Govt is given the money, how GoP choses to use that money is upto them - whether taken to private pockets or public good is upto Pakistan and its elected officials or loved dictators. For example, when Pakistan was 'gifted' over a billion dollars by KSA to shore up its forex -...

    UK newspaper 'The Independent' to use 'Bombay' instead of Mumbai as stand against 'Hindu nationalism

    It will. I still call it Bombay. I can't help it. But the younger generation, I've noticed calls it Mumbai. These changes take a generation to come to effect.

    Pakistan approves Hindu Marriage Bill after decades of inaction

    And what about atheists? Who would they be allowed to marry. This is such a slippery slope you are on. A human being should be allowed to marry any other human being by the law. Its laughable that Pakistan by law limits marriage.

    Pakistan pitches for mutual demilitarisation of Siachen after Lance Naik Koppad's death

    We have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as "International help". International help is as useful as giving Ice to man trapped in Antarctica when a country is using military power. As happened in Kargil - there was a Cease Fire Line that was accepted between India and...

    UAE's Adnoc to store crude in India's strategic facility; to give two-third of oil for free

    UAE does not 'give' India billions of dollars. It invests them - and makes a profit. Its a commercial decision - just like how a large number of countries across the globe invest tens of billions of dollars in India each year. The reason is that India offers a balance between a stability(of...

    Pakistan pitches for mutual demilitarisation of Siachen after Lance Naik Koppad's death

    Asking India to demilitarize Siachen is like asking Pakistan to demilitarize P o K. Pakistan won't do it fearing India's military action. Similarly, India won't leave Siachen open to Pakistani hostile action. Like Kargil. A mistake can only be made once. India has already paid for it when it...

    Dhaka University cuts off all educational ties with Pakistan

    With the literally "scorched earth" policy used by UPA on country and country finances when it knew it would not get elected, the country is in no shape to undergo dramatic changes. It would take uptill 2017 just to bring it back to normal functioning order with respect to financial situations...

    Dhaka University cuts off all educational ties with Pakistan

    You do mention that we have recieved aid. You are correct. Do you know we have recieved slightly more/marginally more aid than Pakistan from the US. Yet - we are 4 times their geographical size and 7-8 times their population. And yet the aid we have both recieved has roughly been the same...

    Pakistan pitches for mutual demilitarisation of Siachen after Lance Naik Koppad's death

    The part where Pakistan Army needs to first be 'present' on the Siachen glacier for it to be a 'mutual demilitarization'. In this case, since Pakistan Army is literally not present on even one feet of the Siachen, it is called unilateral demilitarization of the Siachen. Lastly, India is no...
