Couldn't have put it better. :tup:

It doesn't matter if its a private yard. In fact, better that the private yard gets it. They will take western foreign design support. With this one order it will bring the selected private yard up to speed in modern naval vessels in design and construction. From there on out, next time, they...

Believe it or not. Most people in India don't care about what happens in Kashmir as long as it is still called India. Its the Pakistani public that thinks about Kashmir, not the Indian one. And probability is that Modi will get reelected in 2019.

It is now inevitable that this will happen. I presume that Pakistan military will support Taliban's even more now to destabilize Afghan to pre-empt it. That a port very close to Afghanistan is being built (Chahbahar) and Iran has committed to India that it will provide rail connectivity from...

And Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan might also be Afghan one day ;)

Pakistanis have a habbit of being "more loyal to the King than the King himself". They do it with the Arabs. More Muslim and thekedars of Muslims than the originators - Arabs. (Burning their own streets in the name of Palestinians :D) Now with the Chinese. The Chinese themselves are trying to...

Forget Bihar villages, Jharkhand villages are worse than Bihar villages. But then again, those two are the tragedy states of India. Very very high population and chronic poverty.

Food trucks of contractors....and of 2012. :lol:

I said relative to India, not to the world. Please read what is written carefully. There are world leading economists in India who study this for a living and aid the Government in making better policies. A variety of reasons that I could only explain to someone -forgive me- more knowledgeable...

Because a large number of Bangladeshis on this forum are jamaati razakars. That term describes those Bangladeshis who sided with Pakistan and killed their own people(other Bangladeshis) during the freedom struggle of Bangladesh for Pakistan. They are all Islamists and are a heavily persecuted...

You seem to be a decent poster and not a troll. So I will just say that GDP per capita income in dollars is not calculated the way you have. You can refer to absolutely any international developmental agency's stats to understand why it is so.

It doesn't work that way. It is because of 7% + growth rate sustained over a decade that we managed to put a dent in our poverty. We have been reducing our poverty quite steadily. Though it was not visible as unlike China where population birth rates were very low, our birth rates were quite...

They are being prosecuted. Though it is pointless. There is no punishment the law can give them which compete with what they are already suffering.

You are joking right? Are you suggesting that Govt. of India is unaware of what India imports from China? The Heavy machinery and also capital goods do not harm Indian industry at the moment. When the time comes that Indian industry produces enough of these and they need protection, GoI will...

Why is simple logic difficult. Why will Iran need Gwadar? Any good that can be shipped to Gwadar can also be shipped to Chabahar. Chabahar has the requisite draught for the biggest ship size. That is all that matters to us. Our biggest ships will be able to offload goods at the port there. So...

That is the logical economic move.

Good enough. We can disagree on the future of jamaat. We can work with BNP and that will not be a problem.

It might cost us marginally more (remember sea transportation is the cheapest form of transportation) in terms of cross platform movement of goods at Chabahar i.e from dock to rail. But that is par for the course. Particularly as India is a big country that goods will be exported to Chabahar...

Considering that India has slapped 16 anti-dumping duties against China that Chinese govt. mouthpiece was railing against a couple of days back. It'd be pretty sure reciprocated. After all, because of our moves, Chinese electronics manufacturer's have moved massively to set up shops in India.

India already has access to Central Asia. A rail road and highway connecting all of Central Asia right from the dock - Chabahar.
