After seeing the performance of Russian equipment in Ukraine, it is unlikely that India will invest more $$ into Russian weapons. Fortunately for India, they exited the FGFA program at a minimal cost.

Lol. The second terminal always existed. It used to be called Sahar and I had taken many flights in and out of there long before GVK was involved with the Mumbai airport.Yes, GVK did substantially upgrade it as part of the commercial agreement with the government, but it is not the case that...

Looks like you are projecting your own insecurities and ignorance on to others. I don't have any admiration for Adani, but it is a fact that in India, more than in the developed world, building a business from scratch as a first generation entrepreneur required connections and jugaad, so I...

So, if all this is true , why didn't Kaptaan Sahab punish Bajwa by sacking him or resign and tell the Pakistani quam the truth if he couldn't? Or is his "punishment" reserved for khwaatein ?

No IA soldiers or even any Hindu were killed in Bosnia , but it doesn't mean a sensible well read person would not recognise it as a genocide. Also, it is the government of Bangladesh that commemorates March 25 as National Genocide Day , not any Indian organisation. The IA casualty figure is...

The thread title is misleading. Pakistan is not providing any aid to Ukraine. They are only indirectly and surreptitiously selling military supplies. How can a country on the brink of economic disaster and desperate for a bailout from the IMF afford to give any kind of aid, let alone military...

You are entitled to your opinion. I would prefer to believe the consensus among professional academicians and the Bangladeshi government which commemorates March 25 as National Genocide Day. By the way, one doesn't have to a Jew to believe that Hitler commited genocide against them or a Muslim...

I am not a professional historian. I have only pointed out what the academic consensus is, but anyone is free to believe whatever they want. "A consensus has formed among scholars that genocides in the 20th century encompassed (although were not limited to) the following cases: Herero in...

I don't know what your definition of genocide is but most academicians agree that what happened in 1971 was genocide. Would you say that Hitler did not commit genocide against the Jews or that there was no genocide in Bosnia ? For eg this source lists Bangladesh in 1971 as one of the only 9...

It seems you don't know the history of the founder of your own country. Mr Jinnah was a secular nationalist in the mould of his mentors Dadabhai Nauroji, a Parsee, and Gopal Krishna Gokhale, a liberal Hindu Brahmin. The main reasons Mr Jinnah left the Congress were because, under Mr Gandhi , the...

There is a process. First there is an investigation and only then cases are filed in court. The legal process in India can be slow especially if cases are slow. Even open and shut cases like the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi took years to finally conclude. Corruption has not yet...

Actually, Pakistan lost more than half its population. Have you forgotten Saqoot-e-Dhaka ? Also, Pakistani economy and civil society has been completely obliterated. I would hardly call that coming out unscathed. At the time of independence, West Pakistan was substantially richer than both India...

Lol. Looks like Pakistan wants to compete with North Korea. Nuclear weapons are mostly useless. The Soviet Union had the world's largest arsenal, yet it disappeared from the face of the earth. France and the UK lost their empires despite having nukes and even the US had to face humiliation from...

So, the Taliban regime in Kabul which drove out the Ghani regime with the help of ISI is now an existential threat to Pakistan? It seems Pakistan hates almost every other country, including those like the US and Saudis who are keeping its economy afloat.

Probably because his real loyalty is to the place where the moolah comes from. It seems most of the electables in PTI were cobbled together by Bajwa in the first place. More than a little careless, I would say, given the kind of things he has said to ladies on recorded lines and the fact that...

"In a discussion with journalist Javed Chaudhry, who is thought to have connections with the government, Bajwa alleged that during a Cabinet meeting, Khan used a vulgar Punjabi word to refer to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Bajwa said that this was brought to the attention of the Saudi...

I am surprised at how tolerant Bangladeshis are towards Pakistan. The Awami League had a clear majority and Mujib should have ruled as Prime Minister of a united Pakistan and put the Punjabi elite in its place. Instead a few generals and vaderas from West Pakistan waged war on the majority...

It is important to remember that less than 30% of this debt is owed to Indian banks, who will be the first to enforce security in case of a hypothetical default. In the unlikely event of liquidation, the bulk of the losses will be borne by foreign private banks.

People talk about nuclear deterance but what is funny is that in South Asia, none of the countries that do not possess nuclear weapons have been involved in recent history. India's most tense borders are those with its nuclear armed neighbours. Even though there is also territorial disputes...

Wow, I didn't know RAW was so effective in using 40K USD, but all this happened when the Ghani regime was in power. All the Indian consulates in Afghanistan have now been shut down , so how does India now provide material support ?
