Let me begin by clarifying, it has been a case of Pakistan chasing back in days when USSR was, and to present day Russia, than Russia chasing Pakistan, as posed in the opening post.
Rather than a typical cliche answer, it’s strategic interests that determine stance of a country, I think it’s...
In all fairness you need to give Imran a chance, and that chance would be of being a PM, and only then the real Imran would emerge.
Starting from his playboy days, to marrying Jamima to the cancer hospital to the first 15 years of political life when he was trying to establish his party without...
This has to be a very interesting development happening, if true. Modi government has offered a slice of Indian civil nuclear market pie to China, provided they agree on supporting India's NSG membership, a typical Gujju that he is, and now China offering something on these lines seems to...
I will differ.
Indians are looking for strong leaderships right across be it a Union Territory, State or the Centre and that is where Modi, Kejriwal, Nitish Kumar, Mamta Benerjee, Jaylalita, Biju Patnayak, and others fit in, and in a sense this is where the maturing of democracy is taking place...
Manmohan was loved for a good 7-8 years as the PM, not sure you know or not, when the movie "Singh is King" came, the same was to be used for him when the Indo-US civil nuke deal passed the test of parliament back in late 2008, and after this his popularity surged really high and people's...
There is a difference here, what happened in Bombay was neither an ideology opposed to the idea of the way India is fabricated, nor was there a mass support for the goons, on the contrary Taliban is exactly that, just as the Maoists are in our case, though even in case of the Maoists there are...
Indo-US relations have never been one of forming alliance, the 2 nation states have had converging interests on a few issues and so the 2 are working to make those interests work in their best interests possible which will keep happening irrespective.
India has never been emotional about its...
Of all the political leadership in Pakistan, IK seems to be the only one coming up with fresher ideas of how to seriously pursue the peace talks unlike in the past when on one behest or the other the peace talks were scuttled. Opening of office is another such idea.
Look at the proposal...
Hello Icewolf.
I will take it up from what I have seen so far, and I make a rider here, I do follow Pakistan and the politics there, but the scope has it’s limitations and the same will reflect in my opinion, so you and others from Pakistan would have a much better perspective, and our...
My sense is, Imran will be the next PM of Pakistan irrespective of PTI winning or not winning a wholesome majority.
What Imran has said, which got my attention and I quote in parts:
He will not form an alliance with any party which is a part of the current assembly, which means no truck...
A time bound tenure is a definite good initiative, part of administrative reforms that one would refer to. This is something that needs to be done across the board, not just to certain key civil bureaucracy. This does help in depoliticize the bureaucracy, better understanding developed on part...
Looks sustainable and achievable.
Revenue receipt (tax/non-tax) for the fiscal, ending 31st march, 2012, should vary between 235-240 billion usd, as per the projections.
India has over the past few years loaned a near 20-25% of the budget, so the projected budget for fiscal should vary between...
Question to be asked are
Were we left with any more options?
Was the political leadership of that era able to find one amongst them to head the finance ministry and then take up the reforms which were being forced down our throat?
Would yashwant sinha, had the government not fallen...
Not so long back, about a month-month and a half, we (a group of friends) were discussing precise the same thing. When is it that najam sethi will be knocked off, and well it seems we were after all not wrong that soon enough a propaganda will be unleashed to name him (and as it comes out these...
Nominal gdp/per capita hardly ever tells you what is happening in real terms, because if there is high inflation, then a lot gets hidden behind the rosy picture being presented.
Pakistan, since ppp/mqm/anp took over the reign, has been a witness to some unprecedented high inflation numbers...
there are various factors which helped pug the gap of fiscal deficit (fd) from 6.6% in 2009-10 to 4.7% in 2010-11, which by the way was no mere feet achieved when the best estimate for fiscal 2010-11 was 5.5%, one of the more important role players was the bidding of 3G which brought in...
RIP to the departed soul and condolences to the concerned family members.
Congratulations to you and your fiancee, hope all goes well in the end.
Cheers and all the best wishes!
Good to see you Sir,
lol @ the comment, though they certainly stand a good chance of bettering their counterparts on our west in times to come, a country whose nominal gdp has been riding high on high inflation numbers with little to show on real gdp numbers, the latest is the country on the...
other than that you dont need a hospital to fix up a flight for you, book it on makemytrip.com or on individual airline sites. travelling from the airport is very easy, there are these a.c. radio cabs, counters for which are within the premise of the airport and as a matter of security these are...
