I wonder if this adds any strategic value to Indian Navy? We seems to be going all publicity way - ACC, Missiles... What about the real stuff? Tanks, Fighters, even small arms?

The reality of Electoral Politics in India is that Elections cannot be won without money. All parties indulge in corruption for political funds. Gujarat is a corrupt state because it is where BJP's funding largely comes from. This is reality and there is no point in getting all idealistic about...

His is actually insulting a dehati aurat. They are much more feisty, wise and spirited.

The recent hype up of Chinese intrusions and the War cries in Indian press becomes clear now. The Indian Government was priming us up for this.

US offers ‘closest partner’ India top-end defence tech http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/US-offers-closest-partner-India-top-end-defence-tech/articleshow/23187942.cms

What exactly are you trying to express by flag burning?? Don't know about the US, but its a serious crime in most countries. Since it is seen as an insult to national honour, punishment is justified.

I agree. But Indians are extremely suspicious of China, largely because of its nuclear and other gifts to Pakistan. As Chinese economy declines, and the society opens up, Jingoism will increase among the Chinese. India has also made mistakes by not making serious attempts to solve border...

I think that resolution is long dead and buried under several hundred feet of history. In any case, no country is interested in Kashmir issue any longer. The insurgency will keep on limping along, which doesn't bother India much. Kashmir, being a border state, has a large army deployment...

Containment is not a one shot game, its a continuing exercise. How do you think China has been contained? And what will be the relative strengths of the two countries 25 years later? Can US go it alone in Asia against China? If not, then besides Japan which is the other big country which can...

What are our strategic goals in aligning with the USA? If it is to contain China, let us be clear that it is India which will be a battlefield, not the USA. A military alliance with the USA, formal or informal, will mean that India will be sucked up in Sino-American disputes. We have disputes...

In the present ruling dispensation, better to ask which is not.

USA is a spent force, and its Western allies are militarily dead. USA at this point is a dangerous "friend" to have. It will fire the Gun from India's shoulder. What is the commonality of interests between India and USA in Military matters? None...... USA's need to contain China is far more...

Oh com on! Not so hyperbolic. Tell lies you can defend.

Hmm..so you are ready to accept a Shia's interpretation of Sharia? Strange.....

Give me one example...just one example where insurgency against an organized Army has succeeded. In every case, the insurgency itself was ultimately defeated. Those who don't take lessons from history are called mule headed fools.

Pakistan has found means to tackle its high growth rate.

Indians Muslims are not an "ethnicity" . It is only a religious differentiation. So all your other arguments fall flat.

Quid was a political leader. Who is he to pronounce how Muslims should behave vis a vis Islam. I m surprised that you are deliberately unable to see the absurdity of your position. So India is secular, Pakistan is secular... What was then the partition for? If Islam was to be a purely private...

Yes. So Muslims demanded partition on the basis of religion....that was the defining feature of the new country. So obviously Pakistan is a Muslim country by implication. Or are you trying to say that the new country was asked for on basis of religion, and the citizens would be Muslim, but the...
