Pakistan should see the writing on the wall. The plan of using Kulbhushan Jadhav as our Ajmal Kasab has failed. From here on, whatever the outcome, that possibility has been forever shut down. Time to reflect on the collective face-palm moment...

That is, actually, the crux of the issue. This is a simple lesson from life which hides in plain sight. When someone (person/organization/country) exercises hard power, they are only as good as the money they can throw around. The moment they stop throwing that money around, no one listens to...

And say what? How is any other country supposed to oppose something they have no direct stake in? India opposes OBOR/CPEC based on territorial sovereignty claims. The others have no such claims on which to oppose. Having said that, it is correct that India should separate the overall OBOR from...

Forex loans are not taken for meeting internal borrowing requirements. That is done by issuing government treasuries such as interest-bearing bonds. Foreign exchange reserves represent the sum total of money parked by FII/FPI, money received from exports and sale of assets, and IMF reserves. So...

It will not do any such thing. Indians pay their taxes in INR, not in foreign currency.

Copying and pasting won't work. The fact is that the plaint has been filed under a separate provision than the one under which Pakistan gave its declaration. So it does not apply, period. As for Simla Agreement, I am at a loss to understand how you are interpreting its provisions...

I am afraid your understanding of the situation is too myopic to change. India does not hang people after secret (mock) trials where no one knows the procedure followed, evidence placed and laws involved. As for the declaration that you are referring to - India has not approached ICJ under its...

Of course the ICJ proceedings will have "calamitous" consequences for Pakistan. Can you imagine having to explain the judicial process by which you decide to hang people? What can be more detrimental to Pakistan's national security than having to explain how they pass a death sentence?

Okay. I get it. Sri Lanka should ignore the debt trap it has set up for itself and instead focus on India's history with LTTE (which incidentally no longer exists). Makes sense. Are all articles in Pakobserver of such high quality?

I think the Chinese diaspora has a complicated relationship with the Mainland. I am sure you are aware of that.

It seems many wish to do so, and are denied by your government. While the health services are definitely not the best in the world, having lived in 4 countries I can tell you that nowhere else can you get such a level of services at this price. Most procedures cost around 1/10 - 1/5 of what...

I made INR 6.8 million last year and have a net worth of INR 48 million. Yet, in case I have a really life threatening condition, I cannot consider going to countries where an onco surgery costs $75k on average and follow up medicines cost $3k a month. So I am forced to rely on the reasonably...

Yeah he did. But he will live. Awesome deed he will be proud of for rest of his life.

All this news of how everyone should take us seriously is frankly embarrassing. The world will take note when we have achieved something. At that point we will not need to quote random think tanks etc., to establish our credibility and standing.

Actually sedition laws are of three types - disaffection against state, acts and words against Constitution and sowing enmity between groups based on identity. My personal opinion is that the second and third may be used wherever applicable, but the first should ideally be repealed as it tends...

People like this Maulana fellow drink at the trough of sectarian politics. Without the oxygen of sectarianism, they will meet a hasty end. It is in their interest to ensure that society is polarised Along the line of religion/caste/language/ethnicity. Sections 124A, 153A and 153B of the IPC...

Funny how different nations think the same thing and yet have so many differences. New Delhi thinks the same way about Pakistan, but of course when you think so you are being realistic whereas we are just crying.

If I had asked, you would have simply lied. So I am posting just ONE of your posts about Turkey, a country to which you neither belong nor do you have anything to do with: French professor calls to "assassinate" Erdogan Why did you post that? Why don't you mind your business? Do you want me to...

Notwithstanding whatever you say, fact remains that India can and will continue to absorb the costs without batting an eyelid. So your assessment of status quo is mistaken, as the onus is on Pakistan to wrestle Kashmir, which you can't by conventional means by any stretch of imagination. Do not...

The rest of your post is a matter of personal opinion, to which you are definitely entitled. So I won't address that. However, I wonder how you reached the conclusion that status quo is in Pakistan's favour? There is a singular claim of Kashmir, to which Pakistan has staked its relations with...
