If the first video is indeed from 2016, then I will close the thread down. Source please?

Business as usual on the LOC. I'd say it was a bit hypocritical of Indian members to demand the closure of the thread seeing as just a week ago I had to merge 25 threads of 22 Sikh's alleged retaliation for the alleged mutilation of one of their men that turned out to be old footage.

You're wrong. In the final years of Gen Musharraf, the rank and file was overwhelmingly against him. They felt that he was undermining the institution's image and creating a rift between the military and the public. Extension-era Kiyani was popular but his credibility took a hit after OBL...

Interesting design choice. Can anyone familiar with aeronautical design comment on the efficacy of the reverse prop engines? Certainly a significant achievement though. @Oscar you're the go-to guy for technical details, I hope you don't mind me tagging you.

That might be an exception, because as far as I am aware, not a single government contract was awarded to Adam. Public interest was also low due to our national fixation with "resale value". Spot on. The government needs to incentivize setting up domestic industry. If the govt had used Adam...

Yes all the JIT members enjoy enviable reputations in their departments and are known as upstanding, honest and professional officers of the highest order. One of them, I have personally served under in combat and can personally vouch for. However, the limiting factor here is not that the men...

Woh bhi same thi, maine 2013 say pehlay li thi :-(

I feel that the law needs to be revised, when all mainstream interpretations of Islam provide leniency for those who are old, frail, sick, minors, pregnant or menstruating, and even those who are observing a fast but feel that they have become exhausted and continuing it may be detrimental to...

Adam Motors had a lot of potential, what they needed was some time and patronage. Even the Indian automotive sector was not set up in a day. For much of our history, we were laughing at them for driving around their ministers and VIPs in those eyesore Ambassadors whilst our own buzzed around in...

And lets tell them that they have full authority to demand information from any department without giving due thought to the fact that most of these departments are heavily politicized and their staff see the continuation of their service as being tied in with the continuation of this...

I completely agree with your sentiment. The SC for all its high and mighty rhetoric has always failed to deliver a key verdict whenever needed, they have not one, single instance to show when the nation needed them to exhibit resolve and they delivered on these expectations. Even in the Panama...

The word as such is not the focus of the action in this case, it is the history and connotation. In short, saying the word "Nigger" isn't the issue and neither is it illegal. It is racial abuse that solicits state response.

If it was such an open and shut case then how come the SC failed to reach a decision on it? Oversimplifying the complexity of the matter does not help solve it.

It is not the state's job to dictate and enforce common morality, it is the state's job however to ensure provision of services. Maybe the state should stop worrying about when people should be eating and work on doing their actual job, which they suck at.

You don't need ten pages to figure this out, its no philosophical mystery, you need 10 seconds of half-assed staring at a wall while doing office work to know that outside of Asia, people often refer to individuals with mongoloid physical characteristics as "Chinese" whereas they can be from any...

Sir it is an open forum, feel free to speak your mind about any topic you deem fit as long as it falls within the bounds of civil discussion, which I am sure will not be an issue for you.

As those who know me on this forum already recognize, I have always been very critical of the military's political role and also the government's tendency to use the military as a stop-gap to perform civilian duties for which separate ministries exist but fail to perform. Similarly, I am also...

The violent death of any individual is always a loss to humanity, no matter which side of the conflict they may stand on. Like the Kashmiri youth we mourn for day after day, this boy was no different from them at all. He also had parents who shall grieve for him, he must also have had dreams and...

Firstly, let me point out that both the WWII-era Soviet Military and the Wehrmacht were heavily represented in the political spheres, in fact their presence in social life was to the point of being pervasive. That being said, let me move to the actual point I want to address. The marginal...

Indeed, and therein lies the dilemma. One school of thought states that, theoretically speaking, democracy is a product of trial and error. Each successive government will be better than the last as people recognize and start exercising their right to suffrage more seriously in addition to...
