This is Tarai, the region adjoining India. The part adjoining China is the inhabitable mountainous area.

In the dark ages people took stories of Roman achievements like straight roads that went for miles as fantasy. Science demands we keep our minds open to everything :P

Isn't $25 million/Rs 155 crore too much for a measly patrol boat? What kinds of weapons does it carry ?

Is this part of $34 Billion that was pledged by Abe during Modi's visit ?

RAWAMY dalal :D

Well we already make 100% airframe of more sophisticated MKI and with MMRCA we are looking to build on our capabilities so I guess we will be getting more ToT than Brazil. Which makes me wonder if it is India, by delaying the contract is looking to take advantage of the fact that we can afford...

Yeah Sure. You knew.

Its a joke about the green color.Jeez.

Yes thats right - Brazil needs Gripen. Whether India needs Rafale or not is debatable. IMO IAF already operates too many platforms, just go for MKI/Mirage/Mig29 as 4th gen jets until LCA/FGFA/AMCA arrive. But if we can capitalize on French desperation to keep their aerospace industry going...

Maybe he is in on the Rafale scam and getting fidgety that may loose a windfall if the deal is not signed :P At any rate, the article seems more like an internet forum post rather than a professional opinion.

Hmmm Brazil must be getting helluva ToT if they are paying $5.4 billion for just 36 Gripens. That works to around 150 million per plane. Wonder if its life cycle cost including the weapons package. For comparison, India may buy 126 Rafale, a superior platform for say $24 billion which works to...

Whatever be the author's position, repeated attacks on Bharat Karnad make him look unprofessional and dare I say, bitter.

There are official pre 1963 Pakistani stamps depicting Shaskgam(sp) valley, the area in question, as Pakistani territory. Google is your friend.

How come a nobody like you know this fact if its not widely known ? See the hole in your argument ?

Raja Raja Chola by far is the most underrated one.Cholas conquered South India,Sri Lanka going all the way upto Bengal and all habitable parts of SE Asia And yet our history textbooks make only a passing reference to Chola accomplishments. I am not Tamil in case you are wondering. Kaniska is...

Woulda been apt if the article claimed China was still stuck in 1962. But carry on the cheerleading regardless!

What makes you think you may be wrong ? :lol:

I would have gone just to see Zhang Ziyi.She still got it.

Why is IAF so infatuated with getting so many different platforms ? Cant they make do with MKIs as high end and Mirages/Mig29/Mig 21 as low end 4th gen platforms till we get LCA, FGFA and AMCA(in that order) Why the need for Rafale now ? When the whole world is moving towards 5th gen and trying...

To answer bluntly- Yes India can and will split up eventually only to have a re-incarnation of some sort again. We undergo our own cycles of consolidation and fracture, like any other country, including China. At this moment of time, likelihood India breaking up is less than the whole...
