Indian army has sabotaged diplomatic efforts aimed at demilitarizing the Siachin glacier in the past. Demilitarization for it has been off the table in all forms. Naravane seems to be extending a concession. The question is why.
//Sporadic efforts to resolve the dispute have included the idea...
An interesting tweet after the failure of the 14th round of talks and within the context of Naravane's comments referred to by Shekhar Gupta in the attached video in the thread.
As usual, the overzealous ones have found it relevant to share their beliefs sans knowledge to establish the supremacy of their country over South Asia and sing tales of rivers of blood. This thread asked some simple questions. It placed the information out there for analysis vis a vis why...
So, an attempt to reduce convergences between Pakistan and China to minimize the possibility of joint operations at some time in the future by both to secure their respective interests in the Northern regions of present-day India?
This is where cheap credit availability to SMEs with the government taking a portion of the risks for extension of these high-risk loans to SMEs by the banking sector to achieve scale is worth every single penny. Instead of extending billions of PKR of freebies to large setups, the government...
This vital statement somehow evaded the radars of many all over the Pakistani internet; mainstream media in Pakistan is a lost cause anyway. The same Indian army which had scuttled efforts of Pakistani and Indian political leaderships to reach a settlement on the Siachin dispute...
I hope for all our sakes that you are right. I am curious about the MOC infographic you shared that showed value-added products growing in volume at the expense of low value-added ones. Was this infographic issued after the ET report citing PBS data came out?
It was a mistake to engage with...
Oh, I did, but elsewhere. I was not a member of PDF. Dar obliterated Pakistani manufacturing, in practice de-industrializing the country because domestic production was expensive but imports were cheaper. The value increase is transitory, it would subside once the global commodity prices fall...
As I said before and would reiterate "Mr. True Patriot", I have no love lost for PML-N. Talk substance. If that lot did not do right, neither has this one. Any country would see an increment in exports with massive devaluation backed by heavily subsidized exports (monetarily by the availability...
And why not use Ra'ad in the simulation as well? The possibility that it could be perceived as nuclear-tipped?
On a side note, does Ra'ad also have terrain hugging features? It should ideally be a better platform for the neutralization of enemy air defenses given its ability to make alterations...
I have no love lost for PML-N. However, some of the statistics cited are misleading. The rapid growth of debt you are stating in trillions is in Pakistani rupees. When the Pakistani rupee devaluates, the size of your national debt increases drastically. This is what happened in the PPP era and...
hmmm.... which means the resistance would soon get these rifles. Great!
If Pakistan won't arm Kashmiri resistance, Indian state doing that job indirectly is a welcome development.
FYI, the quantum of exports is decreasing per the latest report from December. Due to high commodity prices, our merchandise is also fetching more buck, less of which we are exporting (less quantity but earning high prices due to global prices boom). As for remittances, no feather in the hat of...
I don't want to hijack this thread by talking about India. But since you asked, check this report from SBI (State Bank of India) : https://sbi.co.in/documents/13958/10990811/281021-Ecowrap_20211029.pdf/b0625dda-46bf-1f1e-2998-3c58c94dd156?t=1635409920832
TLDR version: In 2018, the informal...
Look at what they are saying for the next year. When the monetary tightness takes place, the growth would be moderated. Whatever growth that came, came at the back of a historic stimulus package that rolled out freebies to the industrial sector right and left. Now when inflation is rearing its...
A question, did our strike package dispose of its payloads at the intended targets from stand-off ranges while staying in Pakistani airbases or apart from some UAVs did any assets violate the IB as well in this simulation? If it is the former, can the fire tracing radars be jammed at stand-off...
