If such a bloc were to be formed, would it be wrong in assuming that it would necessarily be anti-china? Afterall, a number of these nations are wary of China, given its growing might and terrotorial disputes.

Quit playing this silly "chicken and egg" game. Even if one were to buy your theories of indian attrocities - how does that affect status quo? India still has J&K and pakistan still has an acute case of insecurities. Grow up. How does "shaping the environment" theory explain the inability of...

Not to sound jingoistic, but Pak's annual defence budget is in the vicinity of 4 billion dollars, India allocated close to 40 billion. Would russia want to risk the indian market for a couple of extra bucks from pak?

No offence, brother. But I didn't understand a thing.

True. But there are examples of public sector entities doing well. Moreover, with the government's disinvestment program - broadbasing of ownership would probably mean greater accountability to shareholders, other than the government. On a different note, AJTR?! Wasn't he / she banned??

Rupee has appreciated by about 8%. That should make the oil imports cheaper. Which in turn could have a domino effect on the CAD and inflation. Lower inflation at about 5%, would help the RBI infuse more liquidity by lowering rates. Moreover, despite the long gestation period of big ticket...

Post #665: Rafi - Indians suffer from Inferiority Complex Post #671: Rafi - Personal insults are the last resort of exhausted minds. This guy must be awfully tired.

Are you averse to reading are incapable of identifying the caveats when you do read. I'll simplify things a bit. 1. With respect to the poverty line - There is such a things as Purchasing Power Parity. The poverty line when adjusted to the PPP, shows that india's poverty line conforms to the...

More unsolicited advice. This time on hunger?! Click on the following link - GHI Data | International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) It has two attachments. The first being the raw data that IFPRI has considered to arrive at the index. The data has been broadly categorized into...

You might not want to admit it, but when one starts resorting to ill-thought out conjecture with casual references to phrases such "count the days", "let's see for how long it lasts", etc - one has usually been comprehensively rebutted. In other words, you have been OWNED!! You can stop now...

I see you are still at it. Anyway, for all your talk of India not being able provide an identity, pakistanis like you appear to be the loudest and the quickest in resorting to the - "we ruled you for a 1000 years" narrative. The levels of chronic anxiety and desperation speaks volumes about...

Nukes for numaish?! Not at all. From the looks of it, only your lack of reasoning and logic, is up for numaish. As for the incidents you have cited - more than the use of nukes, they symbolize its effect as a deterrent.

Once Iran gets nukes, how keen do you think they will on using them - knowing that israel is only a tiny strip of land and that the arabs in close proximity will also burn?? Proximity to arabs, ironically, is likely to serve as a shield. So, in short, unlike what they teach in pakistani schools...

I pity you. You come out here, daily on PDF, trying really hard to implicitly suggest through every post and thread that you are the liberal, cosmopolitan and pragmatic woman from pakistan - but i guess once infected by pakistan, there is little hope. India - cowards or not?? it's all a matter...

Well i'll take "over 5%" any day as compared to "over 3%" - the rate at which the IMF expects pakistan to grow. Calm down, my friend. Strength is a function of many more things than just raw military power. Similarly, there are many kinds of war and not all are won or lost on the...

Whatever works for you, my friend. But with pak having dedicated vast resources, both human and financial, over several decades - with status quo being the best result that pak managed - having witnessed how pak's "shaping the environment" approach worked in the past, an objective analysis would...

Dared to attack? I'm afraid the "i am stronger than you, SO i'll attack you" strategy works great for school going teenagers, high on hormones - not so much for diplomacy between two large nations. Besides, India has achieved more than pak and has more to lose. There is no reason for india to...

All this talk of courage and bravado, does little to refute to my claims about pak's failure in attempting to achieve the logical by-product of its raison d etre.

You have nailed it, my friend. Occupation, illegal or not, but we quite like the hills and valleys of the J&K and the NE. We will keep them. And as history would suggest, there's not much you guys can do about it. Cheers.

I sense a certain amount of vanity in your claim of Pak being the key player in the great game. Though, I do agree with your assessment about pak being at the epicenter of great game, but in light of the cost you guys have had to bear - all the chest thumping, looks quite foolish. As you say...
