Well, how will Asian get rid of it when we happen to use it for Whiskey and stuff. Although i don't but a lot of my friends use Cola with whiskey? What about the PDF members here?

Dr Subramaniam Swamy has repeatedly urged Indians to avoid Coca Cola and the likes. Excessive waste of water resources in addition to health consequences were his main reasons. I would definitely try to bring down my consumption and go for Amul products. I urge Indians to do the same.

That's true. India developed its nuclear weapons because of China and also India signed the No first use given the both conventional as well as nuclear superiority of the Chinese. The same is not true in case of Pakistan.

Okay, I give you that Pakistan is capable of holding Indian offensive and i don't have doubts in my mind about the Pakistani capability. You have the wherewithal to hold Indian forces. But the important question is for how long? A blockade would be in place choking Pakistan for oil and...

What action are we talking of? And just because Pakistan doesn't sign it because of its insecurities it does not make an International document some worthless paper.

Yes. They talk of nuking us for launching strikes in Azad Kashmir. It's a hard fact that Pakistan looses its shine in terms of conventional strength and the non signing of the No first use is an indirect acceptance of the fact.

India signed the no first use. You can start by signing that first what is stopping you?

I am talking about 52+. RSAF bases its fighters at West Bengal all the year round. Besides IAF has sized out the more advanced Block 70 during MMRCA evaluation. So IAF knows what it wants to know about F-16. Still while we have evaluated Block 52 and above you are stuck at the K not the I which...

Good for PAF. Every country measures its foe's equipment out. We too had our share in the game by flying the BLK-52 of Singapore Air Force. Normal practice. We have tested the exact variant the PAF has while you can only measure out the 'K' not the 'I'.

Creative Analogy. In addition to the points you have made i would just like to add that we should not be overjoyed by our small achievements purely because of the mammoth task of nation and relation building. Bhutan is just a part of the tip of the iceberg. We need to appreciate the step but...

Haha, certainly some Chinese members leave no stone unturned in giving us that impression. On topic, a clever move by PM. Secure our interest in our region first then look towards ASEAN.

Good for BD. Textile is one area where Bangladesh has performed exceptionally well.

Do you claim just about everything that has a border with you?

Comes from a man whose nation is known to have Nuclear terrorists like AQ Khan.

Agreed. The first step in solving any problem is to accept that the problem exists and to clearly define it. The added threat of China has/was ignored by the previous Govt for far too long. Critical equipments like M777 need to be cleared ASAP in addition to faster implementation of the Mountain...

Well, what are the options for replacing the INSAS? Do we have any indigenous rifle that can fit the needs of the armed forces?

You are right. I just wish good for Iran and its people. You have every right to be strong and develop what you think is necessary for your safety. But geopolitics is a very complex game my friend. I hope in future on most occasions you would see India standing by your side.

I have tremendous respect for Iran and its people for how they have managed in sanctions no country has ever faced. I also recall the tough decision India had to make to cut its import of Iranian oil due to US pressure. I now believe with a strong Govt now in place, India would not buckle under...

How are you guys viewing this increase in defence spending? Can any Pakistani member here tell me the bifurcation between Capital expenditure and revenue expenditure?
