Ancient Hindu temple (Katasraj Temple) in Pakistan:

All Buddhist artifacts in Pakistan date after Porus' time. It was indeed prevalent but only after the reign of Ashoka. Also, Buddhism and Hinduism are very similar in their philosophies and are both Indian (dharmic) religions. No, the people of Pakistan are prejudiced towards Hinduism...

King Porus was a member of the Puru tribe. The Purus are a Hindu tribe, as described in the Vedas and the Puranas. The Macedonians also described them as such. Considering Porus lived before Buddhism spread to Gandhara, he was undoubtedly a Hindu. I'm sorry if your ego can't handle that...

Sorry if this is an OT question, but is it possible to make an aerial refueler version of the MRTA?

Yes, I am hoping for the balkanization of Pakistan, because for India that would bring great strategic benefits. Isn't it normal to hope for what is your best for your country? On the other hand, you pathetically insult India's impoverished population to obtain some sort of sadistic pleasure...

Why are you even replying to a sad Pakistani troll, who needs to insult other countries to make himself feel happy about his own...

No need to insult a humble country like Papua New Guinea by comparing them with PRC....

We can't? I strongly suggest you read on the history of Indo-Russian cooperation. In particular, do some reading on the 1971 Indo-Pak war and the Soviet involvement in that conflict. Also, India has a longer history of realpolitik than either China or Europe, going back to the Vedic Age...

Many Pakistanis here seem to believe that China will save them in a future war with India.

There was a long-tem security pact signed during the Soviet times, though that probably doesn't apply anymore. India's multipolar foreign policy is a completely independent preoragative. It does not seek to excluse either the East or the West, but to build strategic relationships with both.

Many Russians are concerned about illegal Chinese immigration to Siberia. It's a major security issue, and I'm glad our defence minister raised the topic a few years ago. There are only eight million (and declining) aging Russians spread over the whole extent of Siberia, compared to hundreds of...

I support India joining SCO. By doing so, there will be two powerhouses (India and Russia) to prevent China from dominating the organization, like U.S. dominates NATO. It will bring more stability and security to Asia :agree: Really, the only impediment to Sino-Indian relations is the Chinese...

India is not some weak country that needs foreign forces stationed here. We will never allow foreign forces on our soil or territorial waters. Period. (any gov that does that will be guaranteed to lose the next election anyway) Maybe not now, but eventually India MUST go the middle...

Isn't that what the World Factbook does? Or does China have exactly one billion, three hundred thirty million, five hundred sixty four thousand, seven hundred and twenty-one people? The point is, nitpicking on such statistics is a tedious and pointless exercise. Statistics that measure...

So when India does it, it's a "government-backed genocide", and when China does it, everything except the government is to blame. Nice logic you have there :disagree:

Says the guy whose former leader initiated the largest famine in human history... Really, it's all about ensuring more equitable access to technologies. If we can accomplish that food production can become more efficient, and the country can become more urbanized/developed.

Fine, 200 million, not 300 million :rolleyes: Nitpicking on numbers does not change my point that India has considerably more arable land per capita than China as of now.

India has been self-sufficient in rice and wheat for many years. Any food shortages are caused by problems in distribution, not food production. There are many malnourished kids in China too, despite abundnace of food. In rural India mangoes are used in almost everything. Rice...

Also, India produces 4 times as many mangoes as China. This obviously means China's land is not used properly. Shame on China and its obsolete mango-growing practices :tdown: The Top 5 Mango Producing Countrie

India currently has 300 million less people than China with several hundred thousand more sq. km of arable land. This means that India currently has a lot more arable land per capita. Is this so hard to understand? If agricultural practices and technology improves we can easily support a...
