Eventually. This is a pilot project. If it turns out to be successful, HSR will be increasingly set up in a lot of places.

Chabahar is not only for Afghanistan. It is a gateway for Indian imports and exports to Central Asia + Afghanistan. There is a reason why Iran is going extra to connect Chabahar with its trans national railway system with its own money..that goes to Turkey among other nations. Apart from that...

While the question you have asked is daft...the answer has been evident. Generally the high Indian population means that there is always a qualified Indian available for any job. The second aspect is that in South Asia, the most qualified professionally are the Indians. SO while there may be...

Delhi to Mumbai is roughly 1500 kms. Building an HSR get go for such a massive distance is not prudence. In any case, HSR is most effective for short to mid range distances. Over large distances, air travel is preferred by those who can afford both. This is in effect the building block of...

I disagree. There were reports that the tariff was finalized to be around Rs 2500-3000 Rupees one way(this to be paid in 2025 once the project is ready). Do you know just how many millions of Indians would be willing to pay that amount? There is now a substantial middle class in India. I think...

Read the article. The route has been chosen, financial and technical feasability studies have been conducted and handed over. Only the political decision of yes/no has to be taken now. Route is Ahmedabad - Mumbai.

No, Its not.

I disagree with your view. USA can afford to ponder over whether they should build HSR, we, just like the Chinese, cannot. The reason - USA's landmass to population ratio is utterly ridiculous. Their major cities span thousands of kilometers from each other. And HSR only makes sense...

Finally! We have been asking them to stop their damned aid for years now!

Same feeling. Feel bad for him as an individual. Seems he was very liked by the people there. But No to any kind of privileges given to any ex-royal. No to any kind of State support to Monarchs.

So that means India will have 3 SSBN's + 6 SSN's in addition to the 1 already leased Russian SSN.

RIP Jawan. The two pigs have been dispatched to their 72.

At the end of the day the point is about Mumbai. Pakistanis landed in Mumbai and massacred over 100 people. Not Pakistani agents who had plausible deniability. But actual Pakistanis. Unless there is Justice, there can be no movement. So either Pakistan Military gives up its proxy friends or...

Indeed. Those who are our enemies would be highly threatened. And those who are our friends would be happy at this news.

Now this is awesome news!

Yes. Pakistan could bring its AWACS forward if the Indian SAG does not have a Carrier Group supporting it. If the Carrier is present, that is a squadron of jets waiting for an opportunity to take down an AWACS. And if Pakistan persists, it would have to cover its own AWACS with a very large...

The vast majority of Indians are not in favour of peace with Pakistan. There is no point in having peace with a terrorism sponsoring country like Pakistan. India has suffered Mumbai massacre at the hands of Pakistanis. There has to be justice or blood repatriation before anything else can...

Highly unlikely that Pakistan would field an AWACS close to an Indian SAG[Surface Action Group]. Any Indian SAG would have air cover from a Carrier fleet. No nation brings its AWACS so close to a flotilla if the flotilla has air cover. Pakistan would have to depend on launching missiles at...

However our social indices are lower than China's were at the same economic level.

I disagree. There were better uses for the ship including the ICG. At the very least these ships should've been given to Bangladesh or Mauritius or Sri Lanka or Myanmar as gifts.
