    US has made a strategic bet on India, says US official

    See, we all fall into traps. Yes, India and China had a border dispute, and it is true that Nehru was a first class idiot in many ways, but it could have been handled in a low-key manner. In the 1962 conflict China did not gain any territory that it was not already occupying, as far as I know...

    Ayodhya: The Battle for Indias Soul

    The site has seen clashes between Hindus and Muslims for centuries. I am not in favor of any unconstitutional steps. But these controversies are an outcome of our perverse educational system, which has been messed up by fake secularists. Muslim youth should not be denied the opportunity of...

    Kargil martyr Saurabh Kalia's torture: Violations by Pakistan unacceptable

    Please stop repeating that again and again. As of today, Pakistan has not put up any complete list of casualties. Some Pakistani generals have claimed that they suffered more casualties in Kargil than in 1971. Don't be silly man, there were never any Muj in Kargil. Unless you are counting...

    Workers dig up Tipu era cannon weighing more than a ton during Metro work

    A bigoted fanatic is a bigoted fanatic, whether converted native or outsider. The fact that Emperor Akbar had some foreign blood does not stop us from appreciating his wise policies in the latter part of his reign. He had the honesty to introspect and reject the fanaticism which he had been...

    They are prospering and quite happy - face it. If that leaves you with an identity crisis, for being on the wrong side of the border, it cannot be helped. Yes, donate one cookie on my behalf to the next stray dog you see in Karachi. You will also get a share in the good Karma.

    Modi to sweep Gujarat polls again, as per opinion polls

    India in R6,000-crore JV with Russia for BrahMos’ air version

    Actually mach 5.5 is not hard to achieve with solid fuel missiles, for example if an A2G version of the Prahaar missile is made it would probably have similar characteristics. Mach 5.5 would be very difficult for a cruise missile, for that you would need to perfect the Scramjet technology...
