I guess China's challenge with India is same as India's challenge with Pakistan. 1 is significantly powerful than the other but you cannot prove your supremacy without going to an all-out war. But, an all-out war will be too damaging even if you are able to prevail as expected. Additionally...

There too much confusion on what's happening. But, if a respected publication like The Print is reporting this, it brings some clarity.
Indian media is reporting the statements made by your embassy. Post this, it has been your countrymen & your cheerleaders who have been celebrating this, naturally drawing feedback from the Indians on the same point.
The point is that your government through your embassy felt the need to...
Overall fact is that we are still there & your road is nowhere to be seen. We are not fighting you at this stage & so the number of soldiers present is anyways irrelevant. Till even a single soldier is present you cannot do any construction & that is the overall Indian aim.
The fact that your...
With this logic how do you explain the terrorist attacks in Mumbai (2006 & 2008), Varanasi (2006), Doda (2006), etc.? Weren't all these aimed against civilian population of India?
They may not be hurting civilians in Kashmir for the fear of loosing support but definitely they are not limited to...

I'm pretty sure, that is how you start creating a colony. First create business interests and then bring in your army to defend those interests. Later if for some reason the local government is not able to support the business may be you start helping them with governance too.
This is quite interesting! USA refuses to give Pakistan F16s till they take actions against Afghan taliban hiding there. Suddenly the head is found and killed. :coffee:
Why do you guys have this victim mentality?
I myself have several Muslim friends from different parts of the country and no one lives in 'suppression'/'oppression'. Any kind of stories that are heard mostly have some kind of political motivation behind them. And one or two random instances do...
Still sadly those claims are not right. I guess you have access to a calculator(although the calculations are not that hard) and could very well verify as the numbers are directly in front of you. Just because a great man said it doesn't mean that you have you have to accept it blindly.
And if...
From which of my posts did you infer that I feel that India cannot achieve double digit growth?
Also, please get your facts right. Currently India has a nominal GDP of 2.1 trillion $ growing at 5.6 per cent (this when till now there was no clear focus on GDP growth, Congress till now followed...
This time it is not Indians, but IMF and World Bank declaring that India's growth rates will surpass China next year. If you choose not to believe in their projections then I have no other argument to make.
And there are clear indications. If you are a little bit interested in reading economic...
Corruption is a major issue, but in my view corruption can't really hold back a country. The levels of corruption in India are comparable to China and corruption hasn't stopped them from growing. In my view more important factor which will determine the rate of growth of our country in near...
Did you notice that the scenario being discussed here is not the next 5 years but the next 50 years.
I agree that till the inefficiencies in our system are sorted out we would be able to manage around 6.5 % rate of growth. But, this is only till the reforms are not implemented. But, what limits...
Both India growing at a near double digit rate of growth and China slowing down are a distinct possibility(you can keep on adding a trillion dollars to your economy every year but growth wise you would still be falling and in long term its the growth rate that matters) as of now and this is...
