This question, of course, is in context of the perception that India enjoys in its immediate neighborhood. I read a few articles on the recent tensions in Maldives, Bangladesh and Pakistan. In a number of these articles, the two terms "anti-islam" and "pro-indian" were used almost...

For all the talk of the need for greater power generation, the state of Tamil Nadu, which forms ground zero of this debate is also one of the few states in India which are ideal for generating wind power due to the wind systems in the region. Studies have shown that TN has the most wind power...

An article with 3 paras, with no comments by anyone in a position of authority to substantiate the claims. And that's all it takes for our chinese friends to get off, prematurely. As for india being able to construct 292 dams - India has (till 2012) constructed about 3200 of them!! Another 300...

I understand that nuclear plants are not allowed in residential areas. My "next door" comment was not meant to be taken literally. But given that the Chernobyl incident had radioactive substance spread across 100,000 sq kms, you don't quite need the plant to be right next door. I am just...

What a gesture!! That's nearly 2 billion dollars. Mukesh Ambani - hope he's watching. I just don't like this guy. He represents everything there is wrong with capitalism. Here's a joke that summaries it aptly - Reliance Industries is interviewing Chartered Accountants to handle company...

I fully agree we the need to fast-track such power projects, but would I be so enthusiastic if a nuke plant was coming up next to my house?? I am not so sure...

The author blames India for engineering unrest in parts of pakistan. If india has achieved even a fraction of what the author claims - i'd say its been a job done well, but of course more is needed. Bleeding by a thousand cuts - pakistan getting a taste of its own medicine. It would be the...

You are preaching to the choir, son. However, what China does with Gwadar is a different matter altogether. What seems to be the subject matter of this thread is what people THINK that china will do with gwadar. You need to sell your theory of ONLY ECONOMICS, NOT MILITARY to your fellow...

I request you to keep China out of a debate on a domestic issue and you serve me with your entry to the essay writing competition for middle school kids on growth in china/India... How do your simplistic calculations on China- India growth trajectory affect the manufacturing sector or efforts...

I absolutely agree with you. Economies of scale will allow lowering the production cost, making indian products cost-effective and competitive and will also provide employment. But holding a gun to investors' heads is not the solution. Providing the right environment is critical. For instance...

These are stop-gap, cosmetic steps that do little to address the issue at hand. An approach that relies on pressuring cos to invest in manufacturing facilities, will only scare away the investors. Instead development of an investor friendly climate by cutting the red tape, single window...

Let's keep China out of the issue. On most indices on education, China stands head and shoulders above India. But that is besides the point. No offence, but the author has raised very valid concerns. India does not have a long term plan in place to profit from the demographic dividend. Our...

Bihar, really needs to bend over backwards to invite an iconic brand to make a big ticket investment in the state and then to use that as a model to attract greater participation by India Inc.

India's manufacturing sector currently accounts for about 16% of India's GDP. Meanwhile, the same figure in comparable emerging economies is in the range of 28-34%. This is alarming. India has embarked up on plans to scale up the share opf manufacturing through projects like the Delhi Mumbai...

So you wish to contest contest the widely accepted theory, on gwadar, among PDF members from Pak and China??

Please feel free to open any of the previous threads on gwadar. Invariably, in almost every thread, either the pakistanis or the chinese end give us a version where Gwadar ends up as a chinese naval base, with road connectivity to China, blah...blah. Hell, one guy even claimed that pak could...

Hasn't pakistan consistently outspent India, in terms of defence expenditure, as a percentage of GDP?! Also, isn't it you guys who have gone to the IMF with a begging bowl about 3-4 times?! Are you still sure that pak trolled india?!

I thought the Indian media was sensational, after all the lecturing from our well informed neighbours who are accustomed to the highest standards of objective and ethical journalism at home. So the Indian power secretary wants to have a meeting with power secretaries of all 3 countries...

So if India fu@ks with pak OR bangladesh, China will fu@k India AND Pakistan AND Bangladesh. So you are assuring us that even in the worst case scenario, we would be no worse than our worst enemies?! Hahah... And where exactly does china draw the line for, as you so eloquently put it, for...

Just curious...how does china plan to "screw" the "yindoos" by diverting water without also adversely impacting its south Asian ally - BD?!? And if it is an attempt to coerce India into more "equitable" water sharing arrangements, given that water diversion will also hurt BD severely - doesn't...
