This is exactly the attitude - where convenient generalizations are taken as the norm – that I hoped to challenge. It’s almost racist. My arguments against generalizations terming indians as power hungry, rest on the implausibility of similar generalizations about other nations and their people.

Personally, I feel china is head and shoulders above india and any exercise to prove otherwise is futile (at least in the near future). But let's not be dismissive of the indian economy - it might not be as large as China's but it is still comparable to the likes of Russia and Brazil. Despite...

It’s hilarious to have our pakistani brethren talk so dismissively of India, as if to suggest that Pakistan has mastered it all. I mean if one didn’t know any better, the nonchalance, the tone and tenor of messages coming out from guys like Rafi would suggest that Pak is an advanced nation, with...

Just one word tough guy - Xenophobia. I mean speaking of backlash and all that?! There's a demand supply chain in the labour market. Indians are in Singapore because they are qualified and meritorious and they are being offered job because they are required to contribute to the singapore...

Yeah...that's right. You and your "countrymen" (if you can fathom the idea of a few scraps of land being called a nation) devised a formula of keeping it together on a few dozen sq kms with about less people than in a suburb of delhi / mumbai and that effort needs to be applauded and is...

yeah...real convinient and real tough son...sitting some 2000 kms away and talking about taking the fight "elsewhere". besides, all this heat coming from singapore?!?! are you kidding me...who or what the f@#K are you? and explain to me how you are relevant. an ordinary indian joint family...

there are a whole host of issues that are playing out right now that have pushed the INR lower. firstly, lets not see the INR in isolation from developments across continents. worries emanating from the euro zone have impacted not only the INR but also other currencies - the euro fell nearly to...

Your arm-chair analysis of TN politics borders stupidity. If secessionist claims was the only driver behind the votes that the DMK secured, there would have been no incentive for the people in TN to vote for the party after it officially gave up the calls for dravida nadu in the late 60s...

I don't think you have been able to grasp my intended message. I was only try to add context to flimsy claims of some of our friends from across the border. As for corruption, there is no debate about it. It is systemic in nature and has proliferated to every party, office and institution in...

So you came across a fancy looking term on an indian website and decided to flaunt it on a public forum?! Please read up a bit on forums like the Justice Party, read up bit on guys like Periyar and CN Annadurai. Since the independence, though there have been instances of anti-hindi sentiments in...

Was a bit curious. Given the pace of consumption and the rate of growth seen in comsumption patterns the world over, prices of commodities such as oil and gas appear to be northbound. In such a scenario, does it not make sense for pak to resort to importing of gas from Iran (even at a slightly...

I was a bit curious. Given the discussion about the economic landscape of BD, i was hoping that some of the members from BD could throw more light about the level of influence china has in BD's economy vis-a-vis india. Is the level of engagement higher with india due to the geographical and...

No offence man, but you need help. To have continued ranting across 20 odd pages of a thread - "LIAR or INCOMPETENT?", hoping that no one can cut through your "impregnable" defence of logic to reach you. Pull back a little, brother. The answer will not a panacea for ridding oneself off of...

What is all this nonsense about Indian being lazy? It's silly and almost racist. China began steamrolling ahead only after 1978. So If India is called lazy because of not pacing ahead, then by that logic revered figures like mao and his ilk and the pre 78 generations of chinese too would have...

Really?! That’s the best you can manage? You think an arbitrary article that you quote, refutes my arguments about the financial mismanagement that has come to represent the pak economy? Hope you don’t think that a politically correct and morally upright position on hunger, adds...

Well aren't you the same huy who was celebrating the possbility of Indonesia, replacing India as the "I" from BRIC?! Well if you had read the bloomberg report that you qouted - you would have known that even a country like Indonesia shares the same "soverign debt rating" of Ba1, as india...

India's Debt to GDP is 82%?!? Really, how about you substantiate that claim?? I would love to see some sane economist or publication endorsing your corrupt view. Secondly, India's debt is in the vicinity of 65% of GDP. However, one needs to appreciate the fine print. India is hedged against...

And you need to wake up to facts. India's Debt to GDP is 82%?!? Really, how about you substantiate that claim?? I would love to see some sane economist or publication endorsing your corrupt view. Secondly, India's debt is in the vicinity of 65% of GDP. However, one needs to appreciate...

Riaz: India’s total external public debt has risen to $326 billion while foreign exchange reserves have dropped to $293 billion, according to the RBI data reported by the Indian Express newspaper. The Reserve Bank of India is concerned over the increasing shift from equity to debt to fill...

Riaz: And Indian govt lies about defense spending by excluding big chunks of military spending by hiding it under non-military headings. The actual Indian defense spending is closer to 4% of GDP. Mr. Haq you are turning increasingly notorious. Your assessment of the India's defence...
