Not putting Pakistan down but do you consider India and Pakistan to be at the same stage of industrialization ? A modern jet is a accumulation of metals , metallurgy , electronic hardware and software. Plus design capabilities and testing facilities. India had to send its kaveri engine to...

India won't acquire stealth 5th Gen planes for the next 2 decades , atleast. Because usa won't sell them to india as we are considered too independent in our foreign policy (s400). Russians are going nowhere with their stealth plane. I see us inducting more rafales , unless France suddenly...

yup. Modern jet engine manufacturing is the pinnacle of modern engineering. Even the established manufacturers face issues when trying to optimize new engines , like the PW engine gearbox issue in the Airbus 320 neo. 100s of incidents in the plane. What's your assessment of snecma France as a...

Not really. they are in thick forests where they obstruct road building teams. The police and crpf are normally deployed to provide protection to these teams. The naxalites don't want roads for whatever reason. While the government wants road to improve connectivity of the villages in the...

Could be a very interesting discussion if more details like videos emerge. If the Russians really detected the Americans and shooed them away, it's a learning experience for the Americans. Detention technologies are highly guarded and most valuable. No intelligent country would reveal its...

Don't confuse the echo chamber with logic.

You have your set viewpoint which I won't try to change. Though you have been very vague in your comments, without specifics. A specific like Europe does not use global NCAP but Euro NCAP , which has more stringent norms than global. Pl update your knowledge then we can have a more productive...

Your assumption that economic competition equals military or strategic animosity is wrong. USA , Europe and Japan were in deep economic competition and are in deep competition even now. But their is no real sign of that transforming into a military conflict. Trump was very vocal against India...

Don't believe a word about your ignorance of Indian politics. You are just being cute. Till the late 90s India was under sanctions by the US , including our civilian space agency, while Pakistan was ofcourse a longterm American and British ally. Some sanctions were put on Pakistan as a...

The super powers totally avoid direct confrontations and use proxies and proxy countries to hurt each other. But after this virus which has shutdown the whole world for now 2 years, I believe anything is possible now. This can escalate very quickly from just forum discussions to a serious...

frankly most Indians don't even understand the Indian obsession in Pakistan. Modi is a convenient scapegoat now but he came into power in 2016 , the Congress was in power for most of the other 75 years. All our conflicts and bad blood were under the liberal Congress rule. Pragmatically China...

because in a 1.3 b population, shit happens and Indians by and large know its normally political. Hindus are by nature non interfering in other religions and practices. Because Hinduism is very varied. The recent controversies are storms in a teacup. Even Kashmiri muslims know that since they...

Telling that after 75 years of Indian "occupation " no Bhutanese is complaining. Because Indians can't just walk into Bhutan. Easier to go to Nepal than Bhutan. A Bhutanese girl was in Pakistan recently on YouTube.

A very good discussion. Only thing I would add is that extreme positions are not needed. Pakistan doesn't have to hate the west to prove its loyalty to the Chinese. Even the Chinese understand the attraction the west ,with its standard of living has for any developing country. The Pakistan...

5 m vehicle exports is not negligible by any standards. 14 b usd in value. Though personal vehicles I agree is more of personal choice . But how are they hazardous is not clear ? India has implemented bs6 pollution norms from 2020.

India does not covet any Chinese land. Even in Tibet officially we have accepted Chinese control , though that's a wrong decision taken very early after our independence. Aksai chin was always Indian land and all ancient texts refer to this fact. In Xinjiang India has never laid claim but we do...

India exported 4.77 m vehicles inspite of Chinese virus last year. Facts do not support your assertion. Go anywhere in the developing world like south east Asia, Africa , South America , etc , you will find indian brands like bajaj, tvs, Tata, mahindra . Also niche markets in developed...

Just wow. You are one excited Chinese patriot. Very vivid picturization of the conflict.

very arrogant reply. Not becoming of a peacefully emerging superpower. I have to strenuously disagree with your assertions. India has always been the biggest proponent of peace in the world. Kashmiris are with India and their is no referendum to prove otherwise. I am sure the Chinese will...

talk is cheap my Chinese friend. India is still occupying a lot of land claimed by the Chinese. Are you waiting for some special year of the .... to get it vacated . Just another net warrior.
