I don't believe the Shaurya has Anti-Ship Capability. I was just talking in the context of Anti-Ship role of the subs.

This seems to be the case. There is a submarine launched variant of the Harpoon (UGM-84A) which has a similar role. Obviously undersea launched version of the Brahmos would be similar. This would definitely widen the strategic options available to the Navy greatly. Instead of sending an...

Yeah, This is probably the best documentary made about India As far as I know. It covers Indian history from its earliest to the current day. If possible, people should check out the HD version. It is also available online as 1000VA stated. This is probably the best medium for anyone who is...

She was a good actress in the Potter series.

:tup: An interesting point to note is that the Chola Empire was the only South Asian Empire to have expanded into the South East Asian island nations. Its influence(as well as the Indian influence of SEA which started from around 3rd century BC) can be still seen today in those islands and the...

Actually history/archeology provides a very good case aginst the existence of a man called Noah. The story of Noah is (no offence intended) an almost word-to word copy of Earlier Sumerian/Babylonian epics. Particularly the story of the Immortal man Utnapishtim(babylonian) from the Epic of...

Why is the Brahmos not fitted to this one? Furthermore, is there a possibility of fitting the Shaurya on the Indian Corvettes/Frigates/Destroyers? Would give them a potent long reach against stationary targets. (~1900km)..and the missile is pretty compact..only 10 meters long and .75 wide in...

Thank you.:) but you are being too kind, my knowledge regarding china is surely very limited. I'm more interested in Ancient history than recent one(even though i try to keep abreast of the new developments) and Needless to say, both India and China have no shortage of ancient history! I've...

This is kinda hard to answer, As both the Republicans and democrats are equally part of the pro India-caucus in the Us congress. The republicans are more "gung ho" and "lets invade(iran etc etc)" type...which would only bring more misery to the rest of the world. democrats are more pacifists...

Palin has no chance, but as a democrat, I wish she runs for the republican party primaries(where they choose their presidential candidate to represent their party, based on votes). If she runs, then chances are that she might get elected to represent to republican party...ergo the opposition for...

I see your point regarding Obama's nod/bow to the Chinese heads of state. He should be more aware. As for the tea-party...well lets just say that they are a bunch of nuts comprising of members from the far-right, the religious-fundies, and ultra-capitalist camps. Their claim is that the...

And you just proved my point

sure, but my reply was in response to the video the poster I replied to posted. It had a picture of Obama bowing to the Japanese emperor, and it reminded me of the huge brouhaha it generated here. I really didn't think of Obama bowing to the Chinese when I made that post. Btw, to be honest...

Well I didn't know he bowed to Hu Jintao, but my post was in the context of the Tea-Party's argument...That bowing to a foreign leader signifies "weakness" on Obama's part. What would a bunch of rednecks who have placards saying "No Communist Tsars" (little did they know that the Communists...

I share your pessimism in this regard CD. Looking at the way the things are going (even the recent back and forth's here in the forum) I doubt there is going to be any groundbreaking improvement in relations. At the same time; I don't think there will be a shooting war anytime in the near...

Dude, you sound like one of those tea-party rednecks when you say this.I mean really...whats wrong with him bowing like that? Is it "not cool" to adhere to the culture of the host country when one visits? I for one do not think that chalking one up for the "culturally clueless" score is a good...

good one.:tup:

Dude Chill, Im pretty sure that no one is looking at this as China Vs India. However, I believe the Chinese girl should not have converted to the religion of the Groom( no offense meant to my Muslim friends; but its my personal belief that religious conversion should NOT be a requirement for...

lol yeah. Its funny how we south Asians always have the same figure of speech, even though we have diff languages :)

If a single 47 was indeed found, as you mentioned; then its not hard to apply Occam's Razor and arrive at the obvious conclusion. The other guns were deep sixed. The first thing culprits on the seas do(pirates...drug smugglers...etc etc); when they see law enforcement closing in, is to dump...
