This may apply to India and China. No point being unnecessarily belligerent towards a country that can do both good and harm in equal measure. As for Pakistan, it will either prosper or collapse. Either case India will cease to have a problem on its hands if it handles the endgame right. No...

IMO, China has its hands full right now with all the projects it is implementing. There is no need to rush into signing new projects right now. As for roads and rail, things will sort themselves out through a process of competitive bidding as they should. However, what specifically interests me...

Yes I understand now. As long as we have Kashmir and BPO you will not be bother about grammar and afterwards you will write in impeccable language that you don't know. And also if we don't SOLVE (code word for GIVE) Kashmir you will kill yourself and everyone else. I ANGRY! I KILL!!! Excellent...

Yes it's not right that so few Chinese infrastructure projects are there in India. A certain level of distrust is there, but it is for both sides to resolve. It is not that only the Indian government and media are needlessly sentimental over useless things. But there is time, as India's...

Yes you are absolutely right. 70 years is just a blink of an eye in the cosmic scale of Pakistan's history and strategic planning, you have a nuclear bomb and can use it at any time, and knowing English is highly overrated and all of us who bothered learning it just wasted our time because Urdu...

There is another member who periodically posts on this thread trying to sound like the voice of reason, except that his agenda is quite clear. I am not specifically pointing him out because I usually have polite exchanges with him on other threads.:p: The sane part of me is, of course...

Look, we are not the ones who are in this unique situation of border tensions with three different countries. If there is any trust issues, then it is on Pakistan's part to resolve. It seems everyone in the neighborhood dislikes you. Now you would obviously have us believe that everyone else is...

Maulana Maududi, and the Jamaat-e-Islami opposed the two-nation theory. Here are extracts from his “Muslims and the Present Political Turmoil” (Vol.III) First Edition published from Delhi. Maududi described the idea of Muslim Nationalism as unlikely as a “chaste prostitute”. Here he wrote: ”...

You are talking about a culture where all self-knowledge is based in stories passed on from one generation to another. Stories of conquest and glory by some martial race in the distant past, and then another story linking their ancestry to these races. Having repeated these tales ad nauseum...

The Mamluks, Khiljis and Sayyids were Turkic, the Lodis were Afghan, and the Mughals were Turko-Mongol. The Afshar and Najafi dynasties in Bengal were Arab, the Asif Jahi dynasty in Hyderabad were Turkic and Hyder Ali was either Turkic, Afghan or Qureshi, depending upon which account one...

You are the one whining about Indian treachery. Fact is, the claim over Kashmir has been the defining feature of Pakistan's existence. And if all I had to show for 70 years of fighting was a bunch of college kids pelting stones, I would be extremely ashamed and re-assess my approach. But what...

Okay I get it. Pakistan had grievances, so Pakistanis fight, which makes India backstabber. Makes complete sense. Keep supporting secessionist movements in neighbouring countries and then blaming them of treachery. Just do me a favor, if it is not too much of an effort. Look at the mirror and...

Your claims are an inversion of history. It might have not occurred to you that "Bharati" itself did not cook up even one of the reasons for which all the wars have been found between the two countries. If you are at war with Iran, all you have to do is stop creating trouble in Kashmir or...

Despite the zero trust, can you outline even ONE scenario where India would exploit the situation (militarily) if Pakistan and Iran came to blows?

True that. But it would be interesting nonetheless because at least on paper they are well matched. IMO the Iranians are severely constrained by the fact that they are so engaged in Syria/Iraq that they wouldn't want a fight. Without that on their hands it would be a different matter...

Yeah. Also, Pakistan and Iran should sort out their differences amicably without resorting to war. Okay maybe it could be fun but then again it is usually best avoided.

One of the first things boys learn in school is not to hit the face but the body so that when the cry-baby goes running to the teacher he has little evidence to show. We don't know for how long Jadhav had been in custody and interrogated before the tape was recorded. Enough time to inflict...

Chinese efforts at poverty alleviation are impressive, to say the least. After the work is done in China, it would be nice if the Chinese government offered to build large scale cities in India. I don't see India being able to handle its poverty challenge on our own. Need all the help we can get.

Okay. I get it. There is no religious chauvinism in BD. Bangladeshi migrants don't live in India (illegally) by the millions and your resentment against India is based on genuine grievances and not because you see it as a Hindu nation. Any other story that you would like endorsed when we are at...

Whoa! You sure have a way with assumptions. Did I say that you offended me? Why respond to something that has not even been said? As for who is a Sanghi, why don't you ask the BD posters here. At least you will then know why you are supposed to hate India.
