I'm logging in after a very long time upon reading this.
RIP, Abu.
Here's to the memories of our "heated" arguments.

(He had once posted a picture of him holding a rifle, on the forum. I don't know how to dig it up. @Horus @Chak Bamu)
That thread is still there for anybody to read and determine who was dragged, kicking and screaming, from ignorance to light. Tamasoma sadgamayah - may you be led from darkness to light - as the Upanishads say. Your madrassah stories were exposed for all to see.
Yes, these are all dubious issues. But all those allegations are about whether Boeing circumvented the offset requirements in questionable tactics.
But with or without any offsets, these aircrafts shouldn't have cost us as much as they did.
BTW, FMS deals and offsets are mutually incompatible...
You shameless and incorrigible liar! As I proved to you in that thread from own sources, you did not take Skardu from India - you took it from the "weak police forces of the kingdom of Kashmir", an your own link claimed.
You have not taken an inch from India. You took a lot from the Kingdom of...
Yep, that it does. And that's why it's puzzling. But note that nobody has raised a voice of protest against this deal - not even Subrahmanian Swamy, who is so ready to allege corruption at the drop of a hat. Nobody in the opposition at that time, nobody in the BJP led govt now, have even...
If it was through FMS as you said above, then there is very little scope for kickbacks, corruption etc. The whole procedure is extremely transparent, at least with respect to the flow of money. The US govt charges an additional 3% for their trouble, but that is well worth paying, to ensure that...
It was G2G, but was it through FMS? That's the route that guarantees the same price as was charged to the USG.
Anyway, compare it with the cost that other countries recently paid, including Australia. For some reason, India paid a lot more than they did.
Yea yea, whatever.
Despite all your ranting, the fact remains that J-K has a constituent assembly, and elected representatives. They participate in the state and national elections, pay taxes to and receive benefits from the Indian govt, and are part of India. They have the same political...
The land belongs to Kashmiris and Indians. Whether you like it or not, they have to obey the Indian constitution, or get shot. Change that fact if you dare.
Indian army has never fought Maoists. Learn something before you speak about it. Only state and central police forces have ever faced Maoists. As for your army's "courage" - as I said in another thread today, this is a pictorial proof of their courage, shown below. The entire officer corps of...
Sorry boy, there is nothing you can do to us. We are too strong for you. That's the simple truth. Your entire army cannot take our land from us. You can shout these battle cries on PDF - but in the real world, you are as powerless and impotent as your armed forces are against India.
It's our land. Not yours, not "theirs" alone.
Woe be the day when I would want our country to be compared with yours. Your country is in civil war in half the landmass. Ours has a few protests now and then, that too in a few districts. There really is no comparison.
As usual, a well known islamist group has taken responsibility, and as usual India is being implicated here. ISIS is also funded and managed by India, I suppose.
The idea of the survey was not to get draw a conclusion of the general population, if that's what you meant. The survey was to find out the religious views of IIT grads - maybe more generally, of people with a good education.
Similar studies in Europe and USA reveal the same trend, in fact more...
Correct - and then they have a nerve to call our forces "darpok". Their entire officer corps (after an orgy of pillaging and rape and mass murder and genocide of civilians) humbly submitted in front of our army, and surrendered everything except the clothes on their skin. (We were too...
This is one of those occasions that make me question EU's lack of capital punishment. Some crimes deserve death for the perpetrator. Rape and murder of a little child is one such crime - people who do this do not deserve to live.
Can anyone imagine the horror that girl must have undergone?
You want to talk of "darpok"? Here they are, your mard-e-momin armymen, standing with heads bowed and knees bent in fear and submission in front of the Indian army, after having surrendered half the country:
Pictorial proof of what "darpok" means.
Don't forget all the govt subsidized...
