    16 Years and still waiting for 'Justice'

    Becaue the ICJ only adjudicates cases that are mutually submitted by two parties who both consent to have the case judged by them. In simpler terms - only if both India and Pakistan jointly submit a case to the ICJ to judge. The ICJ is set up to settle legal disputes between two states.

    Indian Air Force to Have Women Fighter Pilots Soon, says Air Chief Arup Raha

    Source for this claim, please? Especially the "95%" part? Can China? Can Pakistan? Can Eritrea? Can Ethiopia? (Ethipoia's Capt Aster Tolossa flew a flanker, and recorded the Su-27's first air to air kill - interestingly, against another Russian stalwart, the formidable Mig-29UB.) If...

    Women Can Now Train As Frontline Indian Air Force Fighter Pilots

    Women Can Now Train As Frontline Indian Air Force Fighter Pilots New Delhi: In seven months, the first batch of Indian women will begin to train as fighter pilots of the Indian Air Force in a move that breaks a glass ceiling that has existed for decades. In another year following that, with...

    Bomb targeting Muharram procession kills five in Jacobabad

    I have added one more para, to make the point clear. There was exactly one mob lynching, which was a disgrace and a blot on the country, and is being treated as such. How many "isolated acts of terrorism" have targetted minorities in Pakistan, and how many victims have they claimed? Answer that...

    Bomb targeting Muharram procession kills five in Jacobabad

    Ask yourself, who will have a better opportunity to win that (admittedly, facile) game. Would you expect more untoward incidents targeting Indian muslims in India, or Pakistanis in Pakistan? I don't want to participate in that game, but I thought I should remind you something about people living...

    Pakistani PM heckled during USIP address

    I don't mean to interrupt the spirited religious discussion going on here, but how are you able to post while apparently being banned???

    Bomb targeting Muharram procession kills five in Jacobabad

    Maybe it is my low IQ, but could you explain how killing your own citizens is a message to Iran? Are you suggesting that since they were Shia, their death is supposed to hurt Iranians, rather than Pakistanis? If not, do explain how it is revenge - Iran shoots rockets at your people, so in...

    Dadri lynching: IAF mulls moving personnel's family - Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha

    Oh actually the "love jihad" stories were heard all over, repeatedly, and the news coverage was completely disproportionate to the seriousness of the issue. But "love jihad" is not communal violence. That is, even if there was such a scheme by muslims to make hindu women fall in love with them...

    Ready to kill, get killed to save cows: Sakshi Maharaj

    The first blow to the theory was when the second nation two-nation-theoried itself, just 25 years after formation. Nations cannot be wished into existence, nor can a shared religion (with nothing else shared) forge people into a nation. India was a nation with an identity, long before it became...

    Dadri lynching: IAF mulls moving personnel's family - Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha

    What's your point? Or does '#justsaying' mean that you don't have a point? I'm not too familiar with this hashtag-speak.

    Dadri lynching: IAF mulls moving personnel's family - Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha

    "Failed state like Kerala"? Most states in India would love to be as "failed" as Kerala, including your examples of UP and Bihar. And "low population"? You really need to have a basic info about demographics, before spouting. BTW money doesn't create high HDI. The culture, plays a large part...

    More youths take to militancy as violence flares in Kashmir

    The correct question is why wouldn't they. As the world has repeatedly told you, the good terrorists-bad terrorists distinction exists only in your imagination. The TTP may the the bad terrorists and Kashmiri terrorist groups the good ones for you, but in reality they are all in bed together...

    India surges to become the second-biggest buyer of American weapons

    Don't you think I am aware that the Russians have attack helicopters? Obviously I meant that they do not have an equivalent in terms of capability. Not whether they have attack helos at all. When I say that the IAF does not have the equivalent of an F-22, it is understood that I am talking...

    India surges to become the second-biggest buyer of American weapons

    Neither of which are anywhere close in capability to the American ones. There is a reason we are replacing the Tupolevs with P-8Is for the future. There is also a reason (several, actually) that the AH-64E was selected over the Mi-28N after extensive trials. Same with Chinooks. The Longbow...

    India surges to become the second-biggest buyer of American weapons

    In the first place, do the Russians even have an equivalent of the things we buy from USA? AH 64E, P-8I etc? Chinooks won a competition against Russianware. What indegenous chips are you referring to, that we could have fitted on these? Besides, American weapons come at a fraction of the cost...

    Dadri lynching: IAF mulls moving personnel's family - Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha

    They also have the largest share of Hindus in India - because both states have the largest share of people in India. (UP is #1.) As percentage, no these two states do not have the largest percentage of Muslims. Kerala (the best performing state on all HDI indices) has a far higher percentage of...

    India surges to become the second-biggest buyer of American weapons

    You think Russia can't do the same? Say, to protect a bigger, richer and more important ally? (Hint: Such an entity lies to our east.) Besides, are you aware how many times entire squadrons have been grounded, due to lack of spares or other weak supply chain issues from Russia? If there is any...

    Russian Ambassador: Russia has no plans to sell Su-35 to Pakistan, no discussions going on.

    Correct, they sold F-16s - not F-15s. That's precisely the point. Why did they give F-16s, and not F-15s for the WoT? Su-30MKI is in the same class as F15. Mig-29 and Mirage-2000 are the equivalents of F-16s. It is an immense waste of money to use such huge, heavy, sophisticated aircrafts like...
