Also do remember that the same Indian prime minister was the first one to call that army chief to congratulate him on becoming president of Pakistan & arranged a red carpet reception in his honour (Agra Summit).

One option might be to acquire c-130s left over in Afghanistan. I don't think Taliban can maintain them.

Alright I could be mixing two different events then.

Don't think it was on spying mission, probably lost its way.

Our ministry of science & technology in recent past was led by a big mouth lawyer. Guess what was the biggest accomplishment ..... a moon calendar. Current one is a poet ..... accomplishment .... an electronic voting machine (ofcourse it can't be hacked).

I'm fine with your explanation, however just for the sake of healthy debate let's assume that our Prophet did meant Hz Ali Razi Allah Tala Anhu to be next calip in his Hadiths as you mentioned. How does that mean that right to caliphate through blood line is approved as only Hz Ali is nominated...

Thanks for your informative post, I learnt few things unknown to me previously. The point I want to raise is that Shia/Sunni divide was never religious to begin with. The right to caliphate was a political issue rather than a religious issue. Correct me if I'm wrong but I am not sure if right to...

Mate...I must admit I haven't watched any of your videos nor did any research. But when I did it's still not 90 billion USD unless life cycle maintenance & operating costs are included. The contract was worth around 50 billion Australian dollars (€31 billion, $36.5 billion) when announced in...

Don't think the quoted figure is correct. 90 Billion for just 12 French diesel electric submarines is way too high unless they are *thunder sub" (animated series) which would turn into an aircraft carrier when surfaced. The new deal makes sense considering the fact that US is more likely to...

Same what was achieved by Indians. I can also add "Battle of Lahore" where a commanding officer (Maj.-Gen. Prasad) fled with a muddy face & uniform only to be asked if he was a general or ardali (helper) on his return.

As historian continued...a few days later there was a battle of chawinda where scores were settled. Sharing a personal experience ...... one day a captured Indian tank with elephant markings (probably porus ka hathi) appeared in front of my house. As a young curious lad I dashed towards it and...

I've no idea but it's likely that he won't engage without restoration of 371 which might not be possible for BJP led India. It will be a big embarrassment if they choose to do so. The situation is still evolving due to Afghanistan. Pakistan no longer feels encircled. Regional powers Russia/China...

I've been following the thread & believe Mush formula was the right way to move forward however modi led BJP has pushed itself & the whole process into a corner where it will be difficult for both parties to re-approach without face saving measures.

Maybe after 911 but roles have since changed. I'd like to know the benefits.

You get secured peaceful western borders with Khalistan part of history. Road access to Afghanistan & Central Asia to boost trade n economy. Can negotiate eastern borders with China fully knowing that Pakistan is out of equation. Alternately you got a low level insurgency in Kashmir which can...

No one in Kashmir trust India after back tracking on it's promise of plebiscite in past & abrogation of 370 recently. A history of back stabbings. No wonder even after 73 odd years, India is still trying to pacify Kashmir.

Adding to above, the final mistake was to lower the landing gear on second attempt. This caused additional drag to the aircraft which was already without power while on final approach. My feeling is that they might had made it to the runway had crew tried belly landing instead.

By the same logic you should rename your country first. India is a British name given by colonial masters. Also UP are English alphabets, try using Sanskrit.

Call it a personal bias, but nothing beats the elegance of Burj-Al Arab in my eyes.
