Sid, The above two extracts from your post are the most enlightening. Lack of gaining power and the seemingly difficult task of gaining it in a non-muslim majority country, seemed to be the driving force for demanding a muslim country where the Muslim League could not loose an election.

I think I'll have to read the book to understand what Seervai has researched. This posting of extracts does not have the same effect and tends to get bogged in our own prejudices. Could you give the name of the book by HM Seervai? This affair is well documented in books about Nehru. This...

We don't use APC's, we have ICVs. These two types of vehicles are of a different class.

Sam, I meant Gas, procurement of coal is becoming a problem and many of these power stations are performing much below their capacity. I believe that diesel power plants are not cost effective. I learn't a little about it, as I am trying to help create village co-ops to produce micro-hydel...

With tons of print media and radio archives present Dr Ayesha Jalal, comes out with this (highlighted above) revalation? Is there even one example of Gandhi (forget the Congress) demanding 'partition' anywhere in the archives? Sid, Yes that was Jinnah's demand. But my friend how did...

Your choice of the source of the book written by - Hormusji Maneckji Seervai, is excellent. His credentials are impeccable. I wonder if you also know that he is a decendent of the master ship builder Lovji Nusserwanji Wadia (1734-44). Althought this thread intends to dwell on the subject of...

The major consumption of oil (in India) is done by thermal power stations that generate electricity, and not by motor vehicles. The increse in Indian industrialisation and growth has fuelled the demand for more power and thermal power is faster developed than hydel power (because of...

To answer this question lies in the reasons below. These are non-Indian links and indicate views of 3rd parties:- The trial of suspected Pakistani war criminals was sealed by the Tripartite Agreement concluded on 9th April, 1974 by the three parties - Bangladesh, India and Pakistan - at the...

The PAF shot down just 3 IAF planes in air-to-air combat, that is not a lot of planes. The PA anti-aircraft guns shot down 10 IAF planes.

That holds true for those living in either nation. And that proves that SATAN's statement that Indian states of Gujrat,Rajastan,Punjab,Kashmir be formed into a seperate Unit for the 150 million India moslems, to be quite illogical. I have some relatives from my mother's side who life in...

There maybe flays but the system works here much better than in any other part of the world. <!--QuoteBegin-Jana[/i]@Mar 21 2006, 08:39 PM the breakup has nothing 2 do with the religion, it was follies of our politicians which were exploited by India and funded the breakup and attacked us. And...

Jana, Could you please post a link?

ERROR by Default. Sword9 please re-post your msg. [Just edit this one]. Thnx

If it was a double cross, then the deal would have been kept a secret. Beisdes where does the Indo-US state that we cannot accept nuclear fuel from other countries?

That is not true. Please post a link to prove this claim.

I could&#39;nt view the link. What was it about?

For the sake of debating the “claims” in the article posted by SATAN…. The groups carrying out attacks in Afghanistan are the Taliban. The Taliban were formerly supported and backed by the Pakistani Army/ ISI as their strategic depth. Now if there is some other group carrying...

That is the most absurd argument. Indian constitution is based on secularism not on religion. Pakistan was based on religion and the rational proved rather weak with the separation of its eastern wing in 1971.

Such a sneak attack by small fast attack boats is possible and can succeed in a non-AWACS environment. That is how the IN OSA class missile boats got so close to Karachi in Dec 1971. The key would be in identifying the threat of an advancing fleet, and identifying the right moment to launch its...
