What can Rajan do? He is a prima dona bought to India as a PR coup for Global investors. He will not play disruptive role and cause leadership crisis upending govts which would have happened had he spilled the beans on how screwed India really is. Academics have luxury of theorycrafting. Rajan...

If you have met him officially then you must know which watch he wears? It is quite noticeable and there is a story behind it. And as for interest rates, I don't know what's the big deal? Consumer rates in India is very high and can be bought down as they are very secure and backed by quality...

There is no merit in arguments when devil talks of scripture. The gentleman accuses Pakistan of menagerie of crimes but all of it is moot because quite simply Pakistan does what it thinks is best to preserve and advance it's own interest. Put simply there is no place for morality in statecraft...

Circus Freak gathers attention, A Zoo animal too and so does Donal J Trump but that doesn't mean people take their opinion credible. Do not confuse attention for credibility.

Why blame US for your own petty weaknesses? US can do nothing if there is no local support. Pakistanis have always loved their messianic dictators so much so that even today you will find more than half the people in this forum advocating for military rule. US just understand what the power...

Your concern for India is indeed touching:cheesy: Behold the big bad wolf harassing the innocent Pakistani sheep

:laughcry:So much money being wasted by SAAB

Everyone is hateful to some extent. Even I a PC Berkely grad and SJW carry that small tinder of hate for the Muslims,, the colored, LGBTs and even the yanks but that is just my primal basic instinct like the sugar pangs when i come across some delicious confectionery or an urge to leer at a...

I don't see any big ticket defence items coming from Russia in near future for India. All the projects where there are western alternatives; Russia is simply not making the cut in what is now "relatively" transparent procedures I agree that few items like nuclear subs and air defence systems...

What alliance? The one where India pussyfoots around even naming China as an aggressor? one were it wets itself when ever "joint patrol" is mentioned? This is the theater of absurd. India has neither the guts nor the motivation to even fight with words let alone involve itself in an alliance...

Give me an example or quotation from Indian media calling F-16 junk? AFAIK IAF holds F-16 in great esteem and are highly respectful of PAF flying those jets.

F-35 will enter into combat ops this year so forget about the developmental pains. Where are the other fifth gen offerings? Where is the famed Sukhoi Flankar plus, where is the copy from China, where are the Korean, Turkish, Japanese and Indian offerings? Some still born, some with still sucking...

NO Chappie. infact you would be shocked to know what went on behind the scenes. Indians tried their darnest to work something out but french obduracy and Indian bureaucracy made a hash of what was match made in heaven. Rafale is not getting the production line in India. A great part of it is...

And just when India was getting dull and I was thinking of beating a retreat, there is a shot of adrenaline today. As they say here "Stars are aligning." For what it is worth here are my two cents. - A bitter sweet deal for french. Not what they wanted but at this stage they would be happy...

Well insider knowledge permeating from inner echelons of Washington administration and Pentagon is something which I don't have access to but you might very well have. It just seems unlikely from an outsiders perspective.

Not possible w/o US approval however I sense it is more of wish rather than a serious analysis taking into account all extraneous factors.

Pakistan is hardly going to support China in case of war. Pakistan still gets most of it's exports and aid from US and Europe and not China. Also Pakistan does not have a navy to speak off which can make a difference in Sino-US confrontation. Furthermore soon will come a stage where Pakistan...

There are limits, still depends on concessions Pakistan makes.

This is ridiculous strategy. India will bankrupt itself if such is a case and still not be successful as gaps will always be there like Italy, China, UK, Turkey, Russia, S. Africa, Ukraine and a few others covering the complete spectrum of arms sales market. There there are the third party...

Lol! China is not lacking in monetary heft for which they would need India. What China lacks is diplomatic support and stands to get isolated out and thus picked off. China all said and done is still a export driven country and you are beginning to see the contours of protectionist policies in...
