I do not enjoy the prospects of dealing with people who rush headlong into debates with uninformed, yet calcified opinions. But here goes nothing. Let's start with UAV's. UAV: Unless PAF and PN has something equivalent to Global Hawk, I'd keep it very very far from any surface ship of the IN. A...

The fundamental flaw with your statement is that you choose to treat Kashmir militancy and the terror attacks in Mumbai as disparate, mutually exclusive events. The reality is that the groups, the individuals, the ideologies fighting in Kashmir are the same attacking the rest of India. They will...

Well, technically it's a dirge, or well it's supposed to be one. But boring details aside, do whatever you like with it.

And they keep on dying and dying; Over the hill, under the hill, In the gutter, on the gutter, beside the gutter; They just keep dying and dying. Crossing the fence,climbing over the fence, Stuck to the fence, fallen face first next to the fence, They all keep rolling over and dying; Shot by...

Allow me to use simple mathematics to explain why your suggestions are flawed. For India, Territory held today, I = J+K+Siachin+Ladakh For Pak, P = AJK+GB For China, C = Aksai+z(ceded territory) Now by your suggestion, the outcome is either K goes Pak or independent. What happens then is: I =...

The author thankfully avoids the nuclear threat, mentioned hitherto ad infinitum by nearly all the Pakistani analysts, politicians, civil and military officials of all rank and charity workers for nearly every topic under the Sun covering India, including cancellation of talks. As such the...

Well apparently, 1. having the fastest growing nuclear weapons program. 2. having the Fastest growing nuclear weapons stockpile 3. Introducing tactical nuclear weapons to lob on own territory. 4. Threatening to/with nuke(s) India on a weekly/ bi-weekly basis by one serving official/general, and...

It was result declaration day; I was in third standard, waiting outside the classroom with my friend while his and my parents perused the answer sheets. After a while, out came his parents, and registered a sharp, and unquestionably humiliating slap across his physiognomy. His fault: He'd scored...

Why did the Wehrmcht attack along the thinly defended Ardenne forest and not the formidable Marignot line? Why did Guerdian's FIrst Panzer Group encircle the defenders of Kiev? Why did the Allies feint an attack on Par-de-Calais, while the real target were the Normandy beaches? Why did the...

Well, it appears we Indians were faced with a similar incident, though on a much lower scale, strategically. It probably belongs to the 1965 or 71 war or maybe even during Brasstacts, but I cannot be sure of the exact timeline. The gentleman(late) was with the battalion HQ when they were put on...

Not completely related to it, but I'd like to narrate my own experience in the 2011 AIEEE exams. The question paper was leaked a few hours before the exams were scheduled to begin. I remember reaching the exam center about 30 minutes before the scheduled start, only to find that the exams were...

Meh, nothing monstrous about it. The specs look impressive, but the HDD is sluggish, and that drags down the entire experience. Then there is the issue with the display, (the HD version); poor viewing angles, even poorer color reproduction, and general lack of detail. It's definitely not...

The raid ended after those camps were flattened, but operations continue. The objectives now have changed from assault and raids to large scale maneuvers, which in conjunction with the Myanmar Army are designed to concentrate and encircle large numbers of militants roughly around the...

The problem with L&T is extremely poor human resources management which translates to the problem of employee retention. The average work hours for a senior engineer is 14-16 hours daily. And yeah, there's no holiday on Sunday, forget weekends. Then the pay is hardly inspiring, and the HR just...

Yesterday I'd said that a few militants were possibly plucked from the scene. Today you have a report that a few "bodies" were indeed brought back for "identification". I think you can put 2 and 2 together, but I'll let you believe the government 'cause I can't back up my claims yet. There was...

The MOD confirms 20 dead, as in verifiable bodies, plus another 18 seriously wounded and 10-15 lightly wounded. This number is cross verified with guncam and drone footage and hence is the most verifiable number. However, the MHA, which basically means the IB in this case believes 38-50 EKIA...

Yes dude, you know everything. In fact every Pakistani is a born expert on India and everything even remotely related to the word India. You know what we do, when we do, how we do, why we do, where we do. Hell you even know when we take a dump.. You're legend, legion, The The Martial race, The...

That's not a fake photo. The original source of this pic describes the image as the burnt out weapons of the ambushed Indian soldiers of the administrative convoy of the 6th Dogra.

Let's analyse the situation using the actual, dictionary meaning of the words you've so effortlessly used. 1. Logic: Logic dictates that the stronger party dictates or dominates the proceedings of any negotiation and seek more benefits/advntages, unless he/it chooses to waive off his advantage...

There are a few rumors about a few 'pickups', but nothing can be substantiated as of now. However there are indications that co-ordinated raids within India (and beyond) have begun, implying either intelligence being obtained or perhaps a few 'talked'. On the other hand, I can confirm that...
