Grand homecoming for Kanimozhi - India - DNA
1) Loot billions of dollars from the nation
2) Spend 193 days in jail and get VIP treatment at the cost of tax-payer money
3) Receive a hero's welcome at the end of it
And we call ourselves a liberal democracy which upholds egalitarian principles...

This gold can be a huge strategic asset in times of...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.

Really? What about this --
India a strategic partner...
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...
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...
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
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...
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.
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...
