No that is not, practically speaking, a part of Pakistan. Those areas are so hard to penetrate by even the army that it is no surprise that Pakistanis do not really see them as part of their country. That seclusion has created a culture that is very different from the Pakistani mainstream
Mind you they weren't very friendly towards anyone who was a non white. But that is irrelevant in foreign policy. They worked fantastically with Korea and Japan because it was in their national interest. Now it sees India(somewhat) in the same manner.
Yeah Indian public opinion should not get too cozy with the United States. US, in the end has to and will always look after its own interests and so will India. On top of that the US is a very unpredictable powerful goliath.
I personally think US will begin pushing back on India after this...
How exactly is it a myth? Do you have any sense of the meaning of civilization? If you are implying that Pakistan is inherently a uncivilized incapable of advancement, then you are a really dumb fool. Progress has always been made when a nation, or historically speaking, a kingdom has a secure...
You guys should also post good stories about progress in womens rights, cultural developments etc. Those things are way more important than any skyscrapers

India won't be a superpower but I think you can safely say that it is going to have some major impact on the world for a long time. For example, it would be foolish to understimate the impact our economy would have on the world. INDIA WILL BE A QUASI-GLOBAL POWER NOT A SUPERPOWER. It's going to...
An old but interesting and important article. I personally believe India's greatest misfortune was that it embraced central planning. I also believe it is the factor responsible for India's low ranks on human development. Like Milton Friedman once said: Judge an economic system by its results...
