There was no internet at that time my friend. You may find some reference here and there which can not be substantiated through available open sources. But yes China was courted by our insurgents and certain amount of support was indeed made available to them. And then the Chinese stopped all...
I remember this very clearly that there was a very important role played by the Irish Americans in bringing about the Belfast Agreement of 1998. They also roped in Ireland. I remember Gerry Adams thanking some Congressmen on BBC. I heard that interview so I remember.
Of course, the IRA had...
1970 is far too ancient a time to have any bearing now. At that time China too actively supported the NSCN, Issac Muivah gang and some other people. But subsequently, China did cut off all aid to our north eastern insurgents and India reciprocated. These are established facts.

What makes you feel that we are bothered about PB. We are happy for him to die of old age. We intend to keep him on the run though so that he does not get too comfortable and start getting troublesome. There are various ways to ensure that he does not stay at one place for too long...
No buddy, it isn't. We still maintain that Tibet is a part of China. Our relations with China are far too important for us to jeopardise it needlessly. All that you see is an exercise in damage control. The options remain though, to be exercised when the chips are down, but as of now, we just...
Why bother?
Paresh Baruah is a toothless tiger. Even at the height of their power and influence when they actually had some popular support in Upper Assam, what did ULFA do? They kidnapped tea garden managers and extorted ransom, they kidnapped ONGC engineers and geologists for ransom...
Thanks for the unsolicited advice. Had you taken a few minutes to check out the facts, you would have realised that she was killed by a group of misguided tribals all of whom were Christians. There is no 'minority' issue here. The issue is of greed and corruption and criminality. She was killed...
Really sad incident. I don't know if they will ever catch the guilty. There is a strong nexus between the mining mafia and the local administration/ local politicians.
The US focus here is mainly the Pacific. Obama made it abundantly clear during his address to the Australian parliament that the US was a Pacific power. South East Asia is a Pacific region. I do not see what the fuss is all about. The US had a very strong military presence in the Pacific even...
Buddy, the US has military presence in the following countries in the Asia Pacific:-
1. South Korea.
2. Japan.
3. Philippines.
4. Jakarta, Indonesia.
5. Singapore.
6. Thailand.
7. Malaysia.
All of these countries are much closer to South China Sea than Australia. Moreover the...
Dawood Ibrahim is a lowlife gangster. He has lived by the gun all his life and he will die by the gun one day. He will be shot down and killed like a dog on the road one day either by his gangster rivals or by the law enforcement agencies. Till then, he is free to enjoy all the good things life...
Are the IN ships still flying the naval ensign with the St George's Cross? I thought they had finally done way with that. It is there in the first pic on the RIB though. Somebody forgot to change the flag or is that an older pic perhaps?
Indonesia and Vietnam already operate the Yakhont. Indinesia has test fired the Yakhont supersonic anti shipping CMs very recently while Vietnam too has land-based coastal defense system.
