@JAKO - I think most of the Pak missiles are Chinese or North Korean variants which are well tested and deployed by these countries. As an Indian I have huge respect for Pak missile forces - they seem to be better than the Indian missile forces and constitute a credible deterence for Pak. @...

What General Kapoor says is correct. But no government can take the risk. War is a terrible risk and India's standing in the world will be diminished. The massive economic development will be stalled and MNCs will leave the country en masse. So yes - while limited war is possible - it is not in...

@Developereo Indian school syllabus is fair and acknowledges the contribution of Muslims in developing India. In fact the story of North India for over 600 years is all about the Delhi rulers. Akbar, Shah Jehan are considered great rulers in India and they are portrayed as just and secular. Just...

I don't think the US will call India to close it's consulates in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a friend of India and the Karzai govt. is in favour of Indian help in training the Afghan police and Army. Pakistan is trying to prevent India's growing clout in Afghanistan. I think most Afghans (non...

good point Jana - but we have 180 million Muslims in India living peacefully. Why can't both our countries co-exist without enmity. It is possible if we forget our differences and embrace our common humanity. How are you different from me ? I'm as human as you are - with feelings, hopes...

well don't base your opinion on internet sites. If someone judges Islam by Al qaeda and terrorist sites - they would be making a mistake. The right wing people in India are in a small minority.

leonblack - even we had a Bangladeshi student in our class during my college years (2-3 years back). I hang my head in shame when I hear about the VHP, RSS activities - they are the shame of India. It's good they got booted out of power and I don't think they will be back soon. Most Indians...

A Pakistan Navy Seaking helicopter later found the wreckage of the Atlantic about three kilometres north of the boundary line with India Violation of the 10 km rule here? It is surprising that the Pak AF did not scramble it's own fighters if Indian planes intruded far into Pak territory as you...

Hinduism in Bangladesh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This link highlights the many problems faced by Hindus in Bangladesh. There is a decline in Hindu population from 11% to 9% since 1974. Contrast this to the rise in Muslim population in India as a percentage of total population and...

mr imran - you are talking as if he killed some civvies. The Pak men killed were PAF and PN personnel on a potentially armed PN aircraft used for recon and spy missions.

Al-zakir - (no) thanks for confirming my fears of Islamisation of Bangladesh ! This was a country having 20% Hindus at independence. And what does religion have to do with your national anthem ? Tagore spoke in Bangali just like you

leonblack No Indian has a problem with Bangladesh. But there is a rise of Islmaic fundamentalism in your country which is worrying. I see less support for India and more support for Pakistan inspite of the fact we helped you in 1971 and Pakistan committed genocide on Bangladeshis. Also what is...

It's quite childish to say Justice from God and stuff like that. He is an airman doing his job. He was told to shoot down the plane from higher ups all the way to PMO's office (PMO sanctioned the shooting down). Regarding Pakistani intruders in Kargil - that was Justice of God too in your book :P

No one thought France and Germany would have open borders - even 50 years ago.

And the Atlantique was flying over the Indian area of the Rann of Kutch. There is no denying the fact that the Atlantique strayed into Indian territory. I don't think that the Pakistanis even deny this fact. The fact that it was unarmed and on a training mission story would not be used...

Pakistan has extremely beautiful scenery and people.

Interesting Windjammer. R'had cruise missile - is that the Tomahawk cruise missile copy ? Is it air launched ? Any upgrades made to the Mirages in Pak service - seems like that they have been used for almost 40 years.

Mirage 2000 - French are generally good with support and spares. IAF wanted mirage 2000 in the competition but Dassault fielded the Rafale instead. An excellent aircraft. Maybe some French Chinese deal to deny Taiwan spares and help?

@WindJammer F-86 v SU-7 India/Pakistan conflict Su-7 was a ground attack aircraft. How can you compare it to the Sabre? Gnats were the Sabre's primary opponents and if I remember right they gave as good as they got against the Sabres.

Brilliant plane. Interesting to see one pic in a which Mirage III are flying over the ocean. Does PAK or PN use Mirages in a maritime strike role ? Exocet anti ship missiles ? If so the Indian Navy should be very wary of this land based maritime role. I guess they would be based out of Karachi...
