"Ready" as in ready enough to hand over the reigns of Kashmir next time when you meet Indians? Isn't this exactly what Pakistanis expect to get every time they meet India on Kashmir? No wonder we go round and round.

Exactly! Even the Chinese themselves are humble and deft enough to not cause these kinds of gaffes - notwithstanding how accurate his statement was in practical terms. This is ham-handed diplomacy in its full glory. Either Pakistanis are really desperate to rub US/Obama the wrong way, or that...

India needs to tie up with major insurance companies in western countries like AETNA/Bluecross to provide cost-effective health care in offshore locations. I read somewhere that a mechanism like that was being worked out with NHS in the past but fell through owing to the poor air-connectivity...

Good luck trying to convince them that. Many of us have tried to reason with Pakistanis hundreds of times in the past that India only opposes that part of CPEC which goes through the disputed territory of territories of J&K (which has now been conveniently re-partitioned on Pakistani side)...

Much needed too. Just in time for another worse-than-useless PM from UPA-3 to come and fritter it all away for another decade without anybody even battling an eyelid.

You should go back and research it a bit more. The US started their rapprochement the moment they smelled a whiff of his victory. BTW, there is nothing to suggest that Obama administration would have continued with the ban since the decision to ban was taken during Bush administration and would...

How is that even relevant? You, like many other Pakistanis on here, brandish the fact that even US banned Modi from entering - as if US is supposed to be seen as a Gold standard for fairness. My only point was to dispute that and to say that US is guided by her own interests and banning Modi...

US is the lone super-power and hence the need to keep her on one's side to be taken seriously. Doesn't make US Gold standard for fairness and judgment. US didn't wait till Supreme Court's verdict to comply. In fact, no court in India has ever charged Modi as guilty. US just saw the writing on...

It may pain you to learn, it was our own Supreme Court that exonerated Modi of all charges despite a sustained campaign by his opposition, (mis)using all their might and authority to have him implicated, for more than a decade. If US banned an elected head of a state from entering, she was...

Exactly! I don't believe for one second that we have even scratched the surface. A great initiative nevertheless, considering a steep flat rate of 45%! That, combined with give-it-up campaign which also generated good response in the end, really warmed my heart.

That is the price we have been paying for electing members from "the family" or the sycophants of the family who are invariably incompetent!

Yep, India lost it on the negotiating table what her soldiers won on the battlefield with their blood and sweat! Whatever way we look at it, it was a disaster for India despite winning the war and a masterstroke for Pakistan from the position they were put in. It is particularly alarming for...

Chinese FDI in India is driven by their business interests - not because they want to favor/benefit India. It is unlikely to change even if India disrupts CPEC in disputed territories of Kashmir (which also includes G&B, your creative re-division of the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir...

For once, I agree with you! I say the same to my Indian friends and the government. Raise the hostilities along the proposed CPEC route in the disputed areas of Occupied Kashmir so much that the viability of the whole CPEC is seriously questioned and compromised! India is totally justified in...

IWT has survived ONLY because the entire onus of abiding by it, lay ENTIRELY with INDIA, for fu<k's sake! How is that even a global model of "co-operation" when it is just one side that is abiding by the treaty both in letter and spirit while the other keeps pricking and prodding India at every...

Well, they can't. By law, Karnataka is NOT allowed to build any dams on any of the major rivers flowing towards Telangana/Goa - just like Cauvery in the south! Only recently Karnataka got bitch-slapped by tiny Goa in the Supreme Court when it requested to divert a tiny bit of water away from...

Unfortunately, River interlinking won't directly benefit Karnataka for the same reason that all major rivers tend to flow away from Karnataka towards either Telangana or TN or Goa - i.e. for being at relatively higher altitude for the linked rivers to benefit the region. My region in Northern...

That's NOT saying much at all! IWT has not been violated and still working because the onus of adhering to it lay entirely with India despite gravest of provocations by Pakistan, even after getting more than 3/4 of the waters! Had Pakistan also had a few rivers that were coming India's way as...

The next target 10GW plant in Rajasthan! Wow, that would be a sight!
