India ranks fourth in the world in terms of military power
New Delhi: India has been ranked the fourth most powerful military power in the world. According to the Global Fire Power Index 2017, India's military strength is second only to that of the US, Russia, and China. Rival neighbour Pakistan ranks 13th on the list. The report also gives details which can provide a comparison between the militaries of China, Pakistan, and India. While India has retained its position in the top five militaries in the world, Pakistan made it to top 15 only last year. Interestingly, according to the report, France, Germany, UK, Japan and Israel, though in top 15, rank much behind India.

According to the index, India has an active military comprising of 13,62,500 personnel. China, with which India has been facing major boundary disputes in Jammu and Kashmir as well as in the northeast, has 37,12,500 military personnel. The Indian Air Force has 2102 aircraft -- 676 fighter, 809 attack, and others. China, on the other hand, has 2955 aircraft in all --1271 fighter aircraft, 1385 attack aircraft, and 206 attack choppers, besides others.

I am curious on how they counted THREE aircraft carriers in India? One in service, one being fitted up and one as scrap metal?

Lol, WB states otherwise !!!

In India 38.7% of children are stunted, in Pakistan 45%

https://www.theguardian.com/global-...ame-and-shame-countries-fail-stunted-children

And then there is infant mortality rate...

World Bank report says Pak’s infant mortality rate nearly double that of India
Anything more to say ? Try quoting someone else other than some NGO.

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/...nemployed-indians-could-turn-to-violence.html

Given that this is coming from a population which has a history of being violent, I would take it very seriously.

Unfortunately Indians don't have 'employment opportunities' in West Asia, Afghanistan, Kashmir etc...

Lol, WN states otherwise !!!

In India 38.7% of children are stunted, in Pakistan 45%

45% Children in a particular year, check my earlier quoted 2013 figures, Indian stunted children figures were higher, it does means Pakistan lately is not faring better and India has improved in the last few years.

But it also means that stunted children over the years and now turned adults adds to the cumulative figures making it into several hundred millions for India. It is not that this is a few year old phenomena. Also Pakistan population is 15% of India, the absolute figures so far for India must be terrible.

Pakistan is doing bad in this particular segment for the last few years, no doubt.

45% Children in a particular year, check my earlier quoted 2013 figures, Indian stunted children figures were higher, it does means Pakistan lately is not faring better and India has improved in the last few years.

The source is an Indian NGO. While I'm quoting sources which quote WB.

Also Pakistan population is 15% of India, the absolute figures so far for India must be terrible.

How does that matter ? India has more resources too & it's effect is starting to show.

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Right...actually both India and Pakistan figures for stunted children is appalling and sad, shouldn't be like this.

I don't disagree. Also if I must say I wasn't the one who started discussion about hunger in a thread about GFP index.

 

[N.Siddiqui]

How does that matter ? India has more resources too & it's effect is starting to show.

If you look at the total cumulative, absolute figures for India, say last 50 year figures for India and Pakistan then you will see the difference...current few years improved figures will make tangible difference in say 20 years...this is not something which is visible in 2-3 years, just as education...

 

[Indian Jatt]

Sound like Modi's election promises, will hear it again in 2 years

You are well aware of our capabilities, yet you pretend to be an ignorant, it is an advantage for our forces..... except the nukes nothing stops India...

 

[Fledgingwings]

Military power or not ! Tej bahadur would have been feeling safe.

 

[SorryNotSorry]

Actually, it’s about Indian obsession about rankings. India is so obsessed because It’s a shithole country.

Keep venting.

Every single India on PDF has a very predictable troll trajectory- no matter what the topic at hand might be.
I pity these blind fools.

First Russia, then Naxal, he is totally insane. See loser, you lost the plot. There is not even a single thing you can be proud of, so stop trolling on this thread and ran away. In FATF out of 36 countries not even a single voted for you.!!!!! This is the credibility you have.

Kinetic brother you don't need to fight like a lone warrior, don't bother to reply to all these fake people who can't even show their true flags let alone their faces, our country is fortunate enough to accept the faults and work upon it....
While some countries hide these faults from their own people....

This is a widely accepted fact for a long time, though extremely unpalatable to some friends across the border..
