    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    On paper, the Eurofighter is better. I really hope that cost was not the only factor while picking Rafale over EF.

    Seychelles Invites China to Set Up Military Base

    Well, Seychelles has invited Chinese forces only to fight against piracy near its waters. This will definitely help India's merchant vessels. Seychelles' economy is widely dependent on shipping in neighboring waters and piracy was having a huge impact. This seems to be a purely economic and...

    Australia's ruling Labor clears uranium sales to India

    I was just reading some of the online comments in Sydney Morning Herald regarding this lifting of ban. Nearly all comments are against this policy change (and as usual, Australians love to spill out their racist garbage against Indians). Sometimes, I feel that Australians are too full of...

    Australia's ruling Labor clears uranium sales to India

    So, if the Australian ruling party has supported this deal, does that mean it faces no more hurdles? In 2008, the opposition to the nuclear deal in India was so great that there was a vote showdown in the parliament. There is significant political opposition to the lifting of this ban in...

    Iran Crisis: Major Indian firm suspends $400 million worth projects

    There are currently several EPC oil and gas projects in the Middle Eastern countries (from Oman, to Qatar, to Kuwait) which have been awarded to Indian firms. And these countries do not suffer from any such sanctions. So, your assumption that Indian companies could not have penetrated into Iran...

    Iran Crisis: Major Indian firm suspends $400 million worth projects

    Interesting you would mention Iranian and Chinese companies. I know in detail about two of these projects - Ilam Ethylene project and Tabriz refinery expansion. The Ilam Project was handed over to the concerned Indian company only after the local Iranian company, BINA Consulting Engineers...

    Iran Crisis: Major Indian firm suspends $400 million worth projects

    The decision was taken by the management of major Indian engineering & construction firm recently due to increasingly deteriorating situation in Iran. Many of these EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) projects were not officially acknowledged because the dealings were taking place...

    India needs pause when driving East

    This useless article is written purely for the Chinese public who are blocked from all sorts of global news on current events and are only fed on what CPC-run Xinhua, etc. have to say. Some misinformed excerpts from the article -- 1) Really? What about this -- India a strategic partner...

    Indian chopper forced to land in Olding, Pakistan, after violating airspace

    In 1990s, relations between India & Pakistan were so bad that when PN's Atlantique "strayed" into Indian territory, IAF shot it down. In 2011, when a IA chopper strays into Pak territory, the chopper is returned to India safe & sound within hours. So, it seems that the peace process is really...

    How Bangladeshis see India

    The author is very quick to point out how India tried to "strangle" and create "droughts" in Bangladesh, but very clearly avoids all those events which created resentment among Indians towards Bangladesh. Whether it was anti-Hindu pogroms in Bangladesh in 1992 or Bangladesh's decades long...

    I saw Sachin shiver against Shoaib: Afridi

    With so many problems Pakistan is facing (crumbling economy, an angry superpower, an out-of-control pet dog and nature's fury), at least the Pakistanis have something to vent out their frustration at. :P

    Iran-India to build gas pipeline through sea to save transit fee

    As Veeru said, Larsen and Toubro can easily carry out this job. I work as an engineer at L&T's Middle & Downstream Hydrocarbon IC, and though construction of this pipeline will come under the Upstream Division, I can say with utmost certainty that L&T has the technical capabilities and...

    Dragon-elephant dance needs sound footing

    It was obvious that given the context of my comment, I was referring to being disoriented and confused regarding foreign policy and other major policy affairs. That does not necessarily translate into economic inefficiency.

    Dragon-elephant dance needs sound footing

    "Disoriented and confused" does not translate into "disorientated, fragmented and inefficient". You are twisting my words to gain a high point. Lame.

    Dragon-elephant dance needs sound footing

    I frequently skim across the "People's Daily". It is an amusing media outlet. On Sunday, there will be an opinion on promoting Sino-Indian ties. On Wednesday, another opinion will declare India as the most war-mongering devilish enemy China ever had. On Saturday, we'll see an image of Wen Jiabo...
