Hardly any obsession on our part. We never think about India, it rarely gets any media coverage, and the average citizen is not even aware of the political disputes. India is just not on our radar. The reverse cannot be said to be true though. The average Indian dreams at night about avenging...

China is the largest trading country in the world, let alone Asia, whereas India barely does any foreign trade, even with its immediate neighbors. Indians can't afford foreign goods (except military equipment), whereas the rest of the world isn't interested in Indian wares. Hard to see that...

OP what are you doing in Sweden, possibly the most secular, liberal, atheist country in the world? Shouldn't you stay at home in your Hindutva theocracy utopia?

Duterte's strong leadership is steering the right course for the Philippines :tup:

Lesser of two evils. A territorial change like that will also keep two ugly countries at each others' throats :azn:

http://blogs.rediff.com/mkbhadrakumar/2017/07/28/doklam-is-a-riddle-wrapped-in-a-mystery-inside-an-enigma/ As we have long suspected, the heart of the Doklam matter is Hindu duplicity and Hindu revanchism. They are looking to avenge their humiliation in 1962 and choosing the flimsiest of pretexts.

What are the implications? Who is likely to replace him?

In 2002, Modi orchestrated the ethnic cleansing of the Muslims of Gujarat with the blessing and eager collaboration of the Hindu community. If Gujarat were assigned to Pakistan, I would hope for assurances that they would not conduct any retaliation against the Hindu community despite being, in...

Strange to me as well. @F-22Raptor is one of those neocons who want to see American hegemony continue, until all nonwhites across the world are squirming and toiling under the white man's boot. Trump can only expedite that dream, no?

Mongolia is coming for that $1 billion that India promised but never delivered. Modi will offer 1 billion Indians instead - will Mongolia accept? :confused:

Congrats to Sun! :yahoo:

Hindu vegetarians feel threatened by Muslim masculinity so they had to confront him with numbers, like a pack of hyenas taking down a lion. Shameless and cowardly :angry:

Exactly. How come the Indian minister can't name any of these countries, or even produce anonymous quotations of this support? The reality is no country would risk their global reputation to support India's hegemonic ambitions in South Asia lest they become a pariah state. Would the US really...

The vast majority of inbound arrivals to India are Indian maids, taxi drivers, convenience store clerks and other laboring diaspora who, thanks to the privilege of higher wages abroad, could save up enough for a trip back home. Not many actual tourists. Most developed countries put out extremely...

@turbofan7a, how was your ban? Took a nice vacation to collect yourself? :)

I just read a NYTimes piece on this 'firebrand Hindu Cleric'. I cannot think of anyone more fitting for the Nobel Peace Prize. He and other alumni like Delhi Llama, Obama, Kissinger, Menachem Begin, Elle Wiesel, are like peas in a pod :)

What's the point in reporting what a ministry 'never said'? The ministry also never said India has no rape epidemic. But the reality is...

Indians disagree they are the same. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/india-to-become-superpower-by-2012-kalam/articleshow/3005067.cms Note that the Indian President said India has been a superpower since 2012. Not just a global power. Indians will be very offended...

Neither the article's title, nor the article's content, nor anyone else in this thread used the term 'superpower', except you. Frankly, we don't want or care to be recognized as a shupa powa - that is exclusively the deranged ambition of status-obsessed India.

Your compatriots in this thread. For good reason, they don't share your faith in Indian riflemen and think desperate measures need to be taken.
