Why not allow every district in KP and Balochistan to decide their own fate through a referendum? Who agreed on these terms ? Is there any legal document. Please educate yourself on the terms of the India Independence Act. The ruler of every princely state was free to decide its fate. Jinnah...

The Maharaja of Kashmir had the right to accede his state to India. That is how Pakistan got Kalat, Bahawalpur, Chitral, etc. That was the just solution to the Kashmir issue. Who sent troops to take Srinagar in 1947 ? Who did Operation Gibraltar in 1965 ? Who did the Kargil operation in 1999 ...

Everyone knows what happened in Sri Lanka. Why do so many Chinese companies and engineers work in Pakistan ? Are there no Pakistani or American or Middle Eastern or Turk companies that can do the same work ? It is because China insists on Chinese companies and labour. China gives very little...

All the goods that pass through Suez already have been loaded and unloaded multiple times before they even get on a ship. In a ship they will be in a container that can easily be moved to a train and back to a ship. Trains are faster than ships and this route is shorter than the one through...

I mean American executive power is accountable to Congress and courts. America doesn't have state run enterprises and when Americans give development aid they don't impose conditions that only American companies and American labour can be used. No one in India knows what PISA is. Even I had to...

Do you know how long it takes for a ship to cross the Suez canal ?

What are you talking about? They were paying for most of infrastructure spending in Afghanistan before Taliban took over. They are not an authoritarian regime like China, so they don't force aid recipients to use American companies and labour like China does. Many projects in Afghanistan were...

Closing Pakistani airspace will not hurt the Indian government but Indian and western travelers who will have to pay higher prices for tickets. On the other hand, it will directly hurt the Pakistani government which will lose revenue and require higher subsidies for PIA. The IMF will likely not...

So, what is the solution? Balochistan and KP should be separated from Pakistan, so that Pakistan can be rid of Pashtoons and Balochs, just like it was rid of Bengalis ? What is dry day ? No whiskey is served in officers' mess that day ? India is not attacking Pakistan. Things might heat up at...

You said build back better. That is meant only for America, and US gives far more aid to third world countries than any other. All these countries will benefit. Vietnam is cheap but doesn't have the engineering talent or English skills that India does. More complex process will probably move to...

Just look at the map. Trains are generally faster than ships and passage through the Suez canal is slow. There is already trade between the countries involved and this corridor is for the future with the US actively trying to get Western companies to move out of China. Apple and Micron are...

For cargo from India, the Suez route is longer and passage through the canal is expensive. The canal is also close to capacity and will be more congested and expensive in future . And not all of the cargo will be between India and Europe. This will provide a fillip to trade between the Arabs...

Also, with the US involved, this network will likely end up linking with Africa, the Americas, ASEAN, Japan and Australia at some point.

It is very difficult to understand your English. Please write in Urdu if you are not fluent in English.

That. The Suez canal was blocked for days only 2 years ago. Also, it is a canal where ships have to be towed at the end of the day and has a limited capacity. The alternative route could end up being cheaper and faster and will certainly have much higher capacity. Also, the project is much...

China's population, economy and historical enemies are all in the east. For thousands of years, the Indian and Chinese civilizations co-existed peacefully. The 1962 war was also due to the recklessness of Nehru and some of his advisors, where he provoked China but did not prepare for war in the...

Now that you said that, it does look staged. One guy who seems to be carrying an artillery shell, the others seem to be carrying something different. There are no soldiers visible and it is not clear who is filming.

Why are civilians moving army ammunition? Don't they have helicopters, vehicles or at least mules or porters?

The G20 Presidency is just ceremonial. The only advantage it offers is hosting rights and the responsibility to compose the joint declaration, which will be abstract even in the best case. None of the projects being discussed involve all G20 nations. The reason they are being talked about is...

Russia spent billions in the gas pipeline infrastructure. Their piped gas exports have fallen sharply and will never recover. They may liquify the gas and export it but that will require additional investments and margins are lower.
