@ leonblack - yup such duels are petty. There is great potential for India Bangladesh trade in the NE. Bangladesh can also invest in the NE to gain more profit from projects here. Ultimately it comes down to the fact that can BD earn profit by investing in the NE. If YES then why can't you make...

As you can see the Indian army punishes people if they indulge in wrong doing - (last report from BBC). In fact there have been many cases where such incidents have been heavily punished by the Army. There is a strict policy to prevent such incidents and win the hearts and minds of the people -...

yea EjazR - good analysis. Unfortunately the whole of Pak thinks Kashmir is under Indian Army rule which kills and maims Kashmiris at will. They equate Indian actions with Israel's in Palestine but the truth is something else. India has not built settlements to change the demographics in...

@Barret- have you been to Kashmir or understand anything about human nature?

I don't think the "Kashmir struggle" exists out of a few big towns in the valley - in the most part there is no "Kashmir struggle". People in Kashmiri towns have nothing much to do and are daydreaming about an independent Kashmir. The youth don't want to play cricket or football but like...

my gawd Bangladeshi posters - ULFA has not succeeded in it's aim from 1979 for a reason - no one in Assam supports the lot of them!

EjazR - it is irrefutable that the rigged elections had caused discontent in Indian Kashmir. Discontent that was exploited by Pakistan to support the seperatists. We Indians helped the Mukti Bahani - Pakistan being our enemy supported JKLF, Hizbul etc. But the fact was that the Indian Army had...

@ Windjammer - India is already a power in the world today. We have a good standing in the world today. We are growing at 8% every year with millions of new jobs - improvements in every sector. Kashmiri youth throwing stones and throwing firebombs at Indian security forces are inciting violent...

@bigmoneymaker - there has been no genocide of indian kashmiris - it is all propoganda - please check facts before you speak

Good that Pakistan is starting to build large surface vessels for it's fleet. Frigate = anti sub warfare - any idea if Pak intends these vessels to deal with nuke subs India is procuring/building?

@deckingraj- The issue of Kashmir can only be resolved within the India constitution - unfortunately Article 377 has led to a lack of integration of Kashmir with RoI. We need to scrap this Article-move more people who work and don't protest into Kashmir. Maybe not the way China has done in Tibet...

syedtalha - last i checked Srinagar was in India and not in Kashmir. Btw the article was very informative. Moderate leaders are being attacked in Kashmir and no one raises their voice against militant goons who do these heinous acts. If this was an army operation the streets would have erupted...

pakistan needs to fight extremists with full force. These extremists are grower stronger and bolder by the day. Better intelligence and police setup is required right now. Any idea if police intelligence against extremists is been ramped up ? btw why isn't the US helping Pakistan to gather...

@Windjammer - most Indian planes shot down were Su-7s in ground support role .

distressing news! It's important to hunt down all extremists in Pakistan

I'm not so sure about the Merkava - it did not cover itself with glory in the Lebanon conflict of 2006.

@gambit - maybe you have a point about the Oil for Food program. But no matter how hard you try you can't justify the invasion of Iraq - it was stupid - it was pointless - you have created a mess that won't get cleaned up. Iraq had no Al-qaeda and insurgent groups before - you have thousands of...

yes grounded for a month.

The Chinese are retiring some of the Su-27 airframes. IAF has a history of flying a lot of sorties on the aircraft they have - hence the more chance of wear and tear. April 7, 2009: The Chinese Air Force is retiring its first Su-27 fighters, or at least the airframes. These were bought in the...

A news report from Nov 1st 2009 - notice the no. of IL78 crashes and also grounding of the Mig 29 fleet. The Russian air force is having lots of problems with its own planes OSCOW (AP) - A Russian heavy-lift military cargo plane crashed on takeoff Sunday in Siberia, killing all 11 crew...
