    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    This is not my calculation. There is a draft agreement that has been discussed many times and is almost ready for signing. Also as per initial ad hoc agreement between the countries. Look, you answered the question in your post. Even without a deal on Teesta, Indo-BD relations are fine. They...

    Kulbhushan Yadav’s death sentence: Has Pakistan pressed the self-destruct button?

    This is the most nonsensical thing I have read all week. How will I get back these 5 minutes of my time?

    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    The suspicion of being Jamaatis is always there. Especially when irrational hatred towards India is shown. But there are good BD members on PDF as well. And allowing those who distort facts to control the narrative is not on. Ironically, these Jamaatis who are railing against India right now...

    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    From source to mouth, the Teesta is approximately 414 kilometres, of which 150-odd are in Sikkim, 123 in West Bengal, and the remaining 140 or so, in Bangladesh. I don't know how you got that 65 percent figure. This is a classic case of propaganda. I now know how India is being defamed through...

    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    By international guidelines I assume you are referring to the Helsinki Rules on International Rivers. India has accepted BD as lower riparian state as per rules. The only dispute is that India claims 55 percent and BD claims 50 percent. As for UNSC membership is concerned, don't you think you...

    Homosexual men rounded up, sent to 'concentration camps' in Chechnya

    Extremely poor taste in jokes you have, I must say. But the horrific torture they are being subjected to is specifically mentioned. So why then do you still find it funny?

    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    I am very happy for your ambitions. Everyone should have some. However, since you claim that BD flirting with China is inevitable, it will be tough to convince Indian government to compromise on the water issue. India is facing water scarcity of its own and why would the government take the...

    Make in India for defence: UK ready for tech transfer to India to become 'world beaters'

    Don't fall for it. IFVs have no strategic significance and are over-priced relics. They gain much more than us. Blue Vixen radar OTOH is sensitive tech. While I would generally agree with you on this point, however, the RG family of vehicles has seen extensive use in Afghanistan and UN...

    Mamata suggests Dhaka to forget Teesta water

    Okay let us assume for a minute that the Teesta issue is settled to the satisfaction of Bangladesh. What happens then? Will BD stop flirting with China? I ask this because I genuinely do not understand whether Bangladesh is taking care of its interests through increasing ties with China or...

    Canadian defence minister Harjit Sajjan ‘Khalistani sympathiser’, won’t meet him: Amarinder Singh

    Note to Pakistani members : If the point of raising Khalistan, etc. is to irritate Indians, then yes, it works. But these are just pinpricks. It would be better to focus on the real issues - Kashmir and Indus Water Treaty.

    ‘57 billionaires control 70% of India’s wealth … India is second most unequal economy after Russia’

    A tax on total wealth is difficult to implement. India already has a wealth tax law but it is poorly implemented because of various difficulties. A more practical solution is what is known as an estate tax. When a person dies a certain percentage of his wealth goes to the state. That will be a...

    Got the names mixed up. The thermobaric bomb is FAOB. Corrected it. Thanks!

    US drops largest non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan

    What you are referring to are thermobaric bombs. MOAB is not one. It is a conventional bomb. The FAOB that Russia has is a thermobaric device. It is reportedly several times more powerful than MOAB.

    Hundreds poisoned in US-led coalition’s strike on IS depot in Deir ez-Zor

    Whatever double/triple game that US/Turkey are playing has already destabilized the region yet they never learn. Atleast with Iran/Russia one knows what their goals are, even if they are not agreeable. With NATO and Turkey it is difficult to figure out what exactly they want, apart from causing...

    Hundreds poisoned in US-led coalition’s strike on IS depot in Deir ez-Zor

    So now is the US guilty of using WMDs? Oh, I forget! These people are just "collateral damage". And what was ISIS doing with these chemicals?

    ‘57 billionaires control 70% of India’s wealth … India is second most unequal economy after Russia’

    We don't have a coherent policy for dealing with wealth/income gap. India's political framework talks in terms of kisaan, gareeb, pichchdi jaati etc. In other words, labels meant for vote bank politics. This only accentuates the global trend of neo-liberal, trickle-down economics advocated by...

    India will go out of its way to save Jadhav from death row: Sushma Swaraj

    Thanks for the (non)offer. I would rather rely on reading for myself. You can educate someone more willing. https://www.telegraphindia.com/1101119/jsp/frontpage/story_13195550.jsp http://www.dailyexcelsior.com/pak-generals-lament/

    She asked Me – “Why do Indians lie? Is it in your Culture?” I answered "YES".

    Stop acting like a wimp. You are simply going from thread to thread throwing tantrums.

    8,000 missiles from Israel part of Modi's $250-bn plan to take on China, Pakistan

    https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/12/26/middleeast/israel-pakistan-fake-news-nuclear/index.html Hahaha. I posted the same in response without even seeing your post.
