German auto companies, like VW for instance have a lot invested in Russia. Don't you think they are pressuring Merkel?

Way too many trolls here.

I rate the Arihant project equal to the LCA in the scope of indigenous technology development.

No we are not. Thankfully. Mixing religion with politics is a disastrous idea, which is why the majority of the world has moved away from it.

Anyway nobody should pay attention to Owaisi. That guy is guilty of hate speech, and even in Hyderabad he is feared, not popular. (There is a BIG difference.)

While India's Muslim population has increased to 14.4% from 10% at the time of Independence, Pakistan's Hindu population declined from 22% at the time of Independence to around 2%.

L&T is increasing its R&D. The Arihant project really boosted its' R&D. Tata has long had a very good research wing. But think about a company like Reliance. It is India's largest company by capitalization, and its research wing is a joke.

On the flip side, Parsis have been over-represented in India. As for PMs, there is a reason - most of Indian PMs came from one family, while their main opposition is Hindu-leaning. If AAP establishes itself as a viable party in the future there may be a chance.

I did not know Bengal's fertility rate was so low. And at the rate Bengalis are emigrating from Bengal, there will soon be drastic demographic changes there.

But there is a flip side. Most private defense contractors have flourishing R&D departments in USA. That does not exist in India. Most Indian private companies do not even have full-fledged R&D departments, let alone hire PhDs.

Thats a good point about M4, which the western media often fails to mention. Coastal liberal America is much different, and anyway still in engineering US university education is the best.

I admit there are problems, and the Sachar committee report pointed them out pretty explicitly. But you have to also remember, that in India the armed forces are still looked on as the few decently functioning government units, and nobody wants to mess with that.

Composites manufacturing and knowledge base.

But, as the article you linked pointed, many states are also vastly underrepresented. In reality, Army recruits happen in families. And thus it still shows the "martial race" classification of the British.

Russian AK-47s from Syrian armed forces. Assad is still supported by Russia. Most of the M4s are from the Iraqi armed forces who ran leaving their weapons behind at the sight of ISIS.

@ptldM3 I think he is talking about the total valuation of the Moscow stock exchange, rather than the Russian economy. And I think China is more interested in Russian gas. Currently Russia is in a spot, so China would like to squeeze better deals from them. Also, Russia is no match for China...

Pakistan should really invest in solar power. It will solve a lot of the electricity problems, there is the whole Baluchistan region with abundant sunshine available for generation. And power generation will filter down to other sections of the economy too.

@Sheikh Rauf There was also at least one Muslim Lt-Gen: Zameeruddin Shah, the current VC of Aligarh Muslim University, who is interestingly the elder brother of the noted Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah.

And their solution is to bomb it (goin on as we speak), and then reconstruct it again. :mad:
