The last thing India will do is attack a country like China when they're busy aiming for double digit growth. Tackling China is well beyond India's capabilities. Defense might be another matter but an offensive against China is firmly out of the question. Likewise, the Chinese have no...

Quite the contrary, but we all have our biases don't we? ;) Also, take it down a notch. I can hardly understand why you're so passionate about this issue. Actually I can, but you'll just give me the whole 'not religion its humanity angle' so I'll spare myself that nonsense. Ahh yes, I...

Oh god damn it. I spent all this time coming up with a reply only to find that he's some Indian american kid who'd already come around by the time I was done. Weak.

LOL! Wow, two major lol's in one thread, who would've thought? Since we're all so concerned about our American friend, do you think he should also be concerned about Pakistanis? Since, you know, the Dept. of Homeland Security thinks so... US maintains extra airport checks for countries...

How come India isn't on the list? I'm sure there are plenty of terrorists, murderers and rapists in overcrowded Indian jails. Don't tell me there's red tape even when it comes to executions.

Agreed. It wouldn't have been so bad if they actually went ahead and procured something. Its been a mere 22 years and still no artillery. :tup:

LOL! :rofl::rofl: Best retort ever! I'm gonna bookmark your comment. :rofl:

Taunts may be uncalled for, but as I mentioned earlier they aren't invalid simply because India receives aid too. 'facts about our aid getting'---> WHAT?

Sure India is a net recipient of aid, but you need to make an important distinction when it comes to comparing India and Pakistan. For starters, the Indian economy wouldn't collapse without foreign assistance. India has been growing steadily for the last decade and is all set to overtake China...

If a 500 pound bomb had gone off in the middle of Tel Aviv instead, plenty of people on here would've rationalized it as a natural response to 'oppression', regardless of how many innocent civilians were lost. Of course there would've been the occasional, superficial 'condemnation' but its all...

Five simultaneous projects? How many fighters can India produce/assemble locally anyway? LCA, SU30, MRCA, PAKFA and now AMCA? Not to mention all the other projects like Saras, AWACS etc!! Sorry for being so cynical, but I really think they need to maintain focus on the LCA and PAK-FA. India...

I agree, the title is pathetic.

From what I understand, you're wondering why they're so eager to cooperate with ISRO. Well, budget constraints have grounded all their plans for at least the next decade if I'm not mistaken. If anything they'd like to use this opportunity to come along for the ride and make the most of it (like...

Sorry, perhaps that didn't come across right. All I was saying was that it doesn't matter where the bulk of the tech. comes from as long as India gets a hold of it at the end of the day.

(I'd edit that post if I were you) We're digressing, but consider Pakistan's options at the time. The last thing they needed was India on one side and the Soviet Union on the other. America didn't want the Soviets to succeed, Pakistan couldn't afford it and thus a strategic partnership was...

Don't let emotions blind you. Even if it isn't desi, it will be from there on in wouldn't it? At the end of the day India will leap frog at least a decade of research and development so how does it matter?

There are always mutual interests, but I sincerely doubt America needs India more than India needs the states. For starters, they sent men to the moon over 4 decades ago while India hasn't even managed to build a cryogenic engine yet, let alone carry out a space walk. Budget constraints are just...

Actually almost everyone I've met from India brags about how they flout the laws with impunity. This one guy I know complains about how he has to live in 'fear of the law' here in the states simply because he got a DUI a month ago. From what I've seen, Indians simply aren't used to functioning...

I think that's a brilliant plan, absolutely brilliant. Only... Furthermore, India "Bangladeshi immigrants also cross the border to find jobs in India. India's BSF maintains a shoot-at-sight policy for any illegal entrants. Each year hundreds of Bangladeshis lose their lives at the...

^^ Don't worry, as long as we have Texas and West Virginia on our side, this sort of thing will NEVER happen in the states. :D
