Unless he can get the army on board, this issue will hardly go without causing a furor. The Army is absolutely convinced that it's presence is essential, and thus the need for AFSPA to continue. Politicians might think otherwise, but no one is going to move overtly against the army's stated...

Not really. The reports from Bangladesh will tell you that every odd week a Bangladeshi 'cattle trader' is killed/injured by BSF firing. What those reports will not tell you is that every odd day, a BSF jawan gets injured or worse, killed by these 'traders' while trying to stop them. Further...

Mani Shankar is the so far removed from reality that reality itself appears a mirage to his discombobulated mind. Interestingly enough, this is something that has been well documented in leftists, both Marxists and socialists, especially when the structures and philosophies they stand for begin...

Are you certain no such mindset ever rose to power in Pakistan? Without such mindsets being allowed to 'rise' in Pakistan, we've had to endure 1947-48 invasion of Tribals, The Rann of Kutch skirmish, Operation Gibraltar, Operation Grand-Slam, the 1971 invasion,operation Kargil. All of these...

If the government tried this, it would go down the same route as the Avro replacement deal. You aren't talking about public sector corporations here; Private companies will put profits first, as they should if they are to survive. And no matter what anyone might suggest, manufacturing one...

I believe there is a proverb in Hindi: Chullu bhar paani mey dub maro.

There is a hostage situation developing, so we may be in for a protracted standoff. This, I'm afraid, isn't going to end well.

Oh the delusions of a demented Chinese. Your superior forces are more than welcome to read the 'made in ______" label while we empty the magazines. let us know how well that ends for you

What saved the war from escalating last time was a host of factors, all of them manipulated brilliantly by the Chinese, to force the disaster in 1962. 1. The invasion occurred precisely at the moment the US and USSR were deadlocked in a massive eyeball to eyeball confrontation over Cuba: The...

Given how Gandhi was absolutely ruthless in his management of time, he'd more than likely have chased Jawaharlal Nehru and the rest with his stick if they tried making his birthday a national holiday. In every single of his momentous meetings with Mountbatten, as Mountbatten would recall with...

It wouldn't be worth it. ToT and license building would have jacked up the costs, and even then key components would have to be imported. Further, technology absorption and training of Indian engineers would have consumed a lot of time. And all that for mere 3-4 vessels. Finally, you'd have...

That's a very simplistic view of ground realities. Fact is,we (Directorate of Naval Design) does not have an indigenous FFG design in the range of the Krivaks, i.e. 4000-4200 tons. This means either we produce more samples of P-17, or design a new 4000 ton FFG. If one wants to go for the...

Let me explain it to you in the simplest manner possible: Your people kill your people; not our problem. Yes we might sympathize with the victims, but officially, we couldn't care less. We expect the same from the Government of Pakistan on this narrow issue. However; your people, coming into...

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win. - Mohandas Gandhi.

Atleast someone understands the intricacies of Naval Blockade. This was one of my first posts regarding blockading Pakistan. I'm reposting it here because most people do not understand the scale of problems facing PN. There is a lot being talked about the naval economic blockade being imposed...

Some people here critique such an approach of 'importing' warships from above when the domestic (Pvt.) shipyards are idling with empty order books. But there are several logical reasons why the Navy might go down this path. I think it's important to listen to their arguments and reasoning. 1...

Well, I happen to be one of those 'poor NE backwards' you are referring to. And I have seen first hand how the bangladeshis from the ultra advanced Lungi civilization in Bangladesh pole vault into our state, which routes they take, how they do it, where they go and most importantly why they do...

Attrition is an inevitable reality of warfare, nothing new or extra-ordinary about it. So what's your point? And yes, the more pertinent question to ask might be just how long can the 18 F-16 B52's hold out before being overwhelmed and annihilated. Or do you imagine them generating a kill ratio...

Oh shut up. He was innocent, that's almost certain now. Even the accuser has now said that she was paid Rs. 5000 to keep quiet. Somebody riled up the mob for another motive. His family has contributed, sacrificed more for India than a million monkeys who get the mad cow disease everytime a...

S-3 construction began roughly midway into the construction of S-2, and not towards the end of construction of S-2, as you claim. There are verified sources for my claim. That's bull. S-3 & S-4 will carry the exact same missile armament as the S-2. To carry twice the missile load, the VLS...
