No they wont. Of the increment being reported, the infantry component which actually gets deployed on or near the borders is not more than 50,000 or max 3 divisions. The rest form combat support and logistic elements (artillery, aviation assets, engineering resources, supply depots, headquarters...

Well done China. Way to go.

I have seen Madam Bhutto campaigning and Nawaz Sharif campaigning many times. Also some lesser figures in between whom I forget. The dominant theme has always been 'Azadi to kashmir' and 'Down with India'. So much so that the common perception this side of the border came to be that India unites...

That is how Russia has always been. A strong, dominant central authority lending the necessary directions to the vast variety of ethnicity which constitutes the Russian people. This has been the case since the Tsarist Russia of 1550 under Ivan IV to Peter the Great to the Russian Empire to the...

Good move. Any move to normalise Indo-Pak relations must be welcome.

Why the hell have they left out wine??? Had Sri lankan Arrack once, not bad. Pakistan makes decent beer, I heard.

Good to know that China can be relied upon to help us or at least one Chinese friend thinks so. I am sure we will weather this one too. But yes, the govt had better get a handle on the inflation soon, otherwise they will be unemployed before long.

Now that indeed is news to me. My information was that the Abu Sayyaf group of Islamic terrorists were engaged in active insurgency in south Philippines while the Philli Army is desperately trying to contain them. The Abu Sayyaf gang has made many of the Philippine islands unsafe as they kidnap...

Bullshit yaar. It was great fun and I loved it. Yes we need hospitals and schools and drinking water and so on and so forth. But a bit of fun and games will not kill anyone. Moreover, it was not the tax payer's money that went into it. We can't very well tell private businessmen not to organise...

Buddy, allow me to differ. Why should Karan Thapar interview in Hindi or Gujarati when he is an English talk show host? If Modi can't speak English why did he agree to be interviewed by Karan? He knew that the Devil's Advocate is an English talk show. I think that Modi could not handle the...

My friend, this is not humiliating. This is a well known form of talk show in which tough questions are asked with the view to put the interviewee under stress and therefore on the back foot. It is comparatively new in India but the inspiration comes from BBC Hardtalk which has been going on for...

Outrage over Kalam's frisking, US says sorry New Delhi, November 13, 2011 The United States' government has formally apologised to former president APJ Abdul Kalam for the humiliation he had to undergo when security officials frisked him at New York's JFK airport on September 29. The apology...

Yes Delhi 1984 and Gujarat 2002 will forever remain a blot on modern, post independence India. It will take many generations of concerted effort at nation building to wipe away the ignominy of these events. What we as Indians must ensure is that such incidents are never never never repeated...

Every one of us has the right and the duty to protect him/herself from bullshit. Bullshit has no nationality. It can emanate from anywhere, India, Pakistan, China, Bangladesh or the USA, all have bullshitters on the internet. It all boils down to what an individual wants from a forum. If the...

The Army does not wish to be deployed in the Valley. Counter insurgency operations are detrimental to the health of any army which is trained and equipped to fight the enemy on the borders and not its own citizens. The Army was deployed in the Valley on the orders of the politicians when the...

This is really idiotic of Americans. How does a 80 year old man make a terrorist suspect? One look at him is enough to convince anyone that he is too old to be wearing a suicide belt or hiding a pistol in his shoes. Any lingering doubt in the minds of even the most paranoid would be dispelled...

Sad, good cricketing talent gone down the drain. These blokes were talented enough to make their nation proud and cricket fans very happy but greed got to them. A lesson for others. This is the way the cookies crumble.

One doesn't have to read any more of this article to realise that it is a total waste of time. That is where I stopped reading anyway. The only impression one gets is that this Afshain Afzal is a civilian who hasn't the slightest clue of what he is writing. All the knowledge of military matters...

wow Ahmed, that was a real three pointer.:laugh:

Awesome buddy, not gonna miss it. Thanks.
