Kindly refrain from making such silly comments. They amount to defaming a general who has given nearly 40 years of his life to the nation. The COAS designate is the senior most Army Commander and the senior most Army Commander becomes the Chief. We do not have political appointees heading our...

Agreed CJS, but it is unwarranted and unnecessary interference nevertheless. The US is the sole super power and all its actions have far reaching repercussions and are therefore closely watched all over the world. American lawmakers should be careful that they do not act in a way that is...

Your logic is convoluted. Modi does not lead an independent country, Gujarat is a part of India. What business does the US have to interfere in internal affairs of India. Should we bring a resolution in our Parliament that the white Americans are dispossessing the Inuits and Tlingits of Alaska...

Which part of the article? By jove!!! the entire article is a pile of crap and nothing else. India is not and has not yet buckled down to the EU/US pressure. I don't know where the author gets his information from but facts on ground do not support his statement. India continues to import oil...

This 'news' item is to be taken with a pinch of salt. No, make that a handful please.

Yes, the Colonel is right. The Pakistani Army is indeed unpredictable. Why? Simple. That is how it is groomed and trained. Unconventionality, being unorthodox, no set patterns, not conforming to standard practices, always thinking out of the box, all of these result in unpredictability...

Just saw on another thread (now closed), a moderator deleting posts on the grounds of 'Petty fighting'. I loved it. That is the way it should be. 99% of the posts nowadays constitute 'petty fighting'. Someone posts an article form a journal about which he may or may not know anything and...

Hey, this is just a memoir, a picturesque and well written account of an old soldier recounting his experiences on the borders. He does not have any recollection which depict the Chinese in any dishonorable or negative manner. I agree that there was no need to bring in Pakistan in the title when...

Idiots trying to censor the internet. Don't like some content, don't see it, just close the page. There is a button on the top right hand corner of the window marked 'X' only for that purpose. Indian courts should not entertain any petition seeking a ban for objectionable contents whether in a...

No we didn't qualify and damn good we didn't as we didn't deserve to qualify. The way we played in Australia, the entire team should be kicked on its rear. But that is not going to happen.

What a pile of bull$hit!! The GOI was not involved in barring the Pakistanis cricket players earlier just as they are not involved in permitting them to enter now. It was the franchisees who did not wish to risk buying Pakistani players for the IPL as in the event a war broke out with Pakistan...

Nothing can remain underwater indefinitely. Human endurance is very definite. Rations and other supplies needed to support human life abroad submarines have a short shelf life and need to be resupplied frequently. Under the circumstances, AIP systems offer remarkable underwater endurance to...

They don't actually need a nuclear submarine. The chief of the Pak Naval Staff has stated that Pak is looking for strategic parity with India and not conventional parity which they can't get anyway. This implies capability to launch nuclear attacks from submarines. One does not need a nuclear...

No one claims to be No 1. Pissing competitions are strictly for little children. People work quietly and risk their lives for their countries. That is all.

Good. Free trade with the US and other TPP members can only bring prosperity to Vietnam. Trade has never hurt any one.

There is a battle raging in the poverty stricken tribal belts of India. The battle has been raging for hundreds of years. since the coming of Baptist Christian missionaries to the tribal forest lands in 1800 AD during the British rule. *The spoils of this battle are :- The souls of hundreds of...

Point is, why should you wish to stop them? That is, unless you represent the Taliban, or speak for them?

A small matter of protocol buddy. I am sure that the Chinese FM knows that but of course journalists being journalists, are clueless.

I don't know the veracity of this information. If it is true then it is very logical for the US to wish that India gets transit facilities through Pakistan. The logic that India has given for continuing to support Iran despite the US/EU embargo is that we need Iran for access to Afghanistan and...

Will take a break posting comments now. The huge amount of negativity in the forum is getting to me and so I will stop commenting for a while. Will keep coming online to check out the headlines and thank posts I like but won't comment for a while.
