I am talking about an free trade economic union between India, Bhutan, BD, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand - the starting seeds of which are already visible. Not about political union. None of us want a political union. But we have moved from war rhetoric in our region(eastern region of South...

I cannot speak for what would be with Pakistan, but India, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar are very clearly heading towards an economic union. The sheer speed of progress of relations between these countries has been mind boggling. Imagine - Just a couple of years ago, Bangladesh and Myanmar...

Famous and all. That said, a political union is not possible simply because India is a democracy and the overwhelming majority of people don't want it.

And you have come to this figure based on? Also conjecture...and sounds more of wishing on your part. The disparity between the firepower of Indian Navy and Pakistani Navy is growing, not reducing.

You are mistaking the Indian Naval posture with Land posture. Unlike the Army, Indian Navy faces zero threat from any other country in Indian Ocean now- from Bangladesh to Myanmar to Thailand to Singapore to Indonesia - every single country in the Oceanic rim is now not just a bystander, but a...

Sadly, I am agreeing with you. Mamata seems to be more Jamaati than the Jamaat Chief. All she does is pander to the Islamists and has zero focus on economic and social development. If only the Chief Minister of WB was someone like Hasina - who is interested in economic growth, social growth and...

Only 70%? I thought that dedicated lines would mean 100% of the freight would shift to these lines ?

For general trade yes, for defense, no. But this is Govt of Turkey needlessly creating animosity where none exists presently. Govt of India will in all likelihood now carry this over and it will reflect negatively on any/all bilateral or multilateral interactions where Turkey is involved. This...

Bangladesh has not only solved ALL its decades long territorial disputes with its neighbours - India and Myanmar quite recently. As of this day Bangladesh and both its neighbours have zero claims of even one square inch on each other's territories(land or sea). It has also ratcheted up high...

To be really honest, this seems to be taking the Turks taking the piss on Pakistanis :lol: Because India will likely never purchase anything from Turkey as India has US, Russia, Germany, France and Israel as suppliers for any military needs that cannot be fulfilled by domestic companies. And...

That man along with the countless other Afghans who have done their best to protect Indian consulate and embassies have my utmost respect! Thank you sir!

As rightly said: The terrorist attacks always start at allahu akbar but end at jo bole soh nihal !

And yet, BNP and Jamaat have in the past taken actions that have not just tried to harm India but literally dismember India. It is for this reason that India is and will remain vehemently against Jamaat which we consider a snake and nothing but a Pakistani proxy in Bangladesh and BNP as an...

Wow! A Bangladeshi saying that Pakistan was justified in genocide of other Bangladeshis! A class one traitor if there was one!

lol. Every country in the world trades for these exact same 2 purposes - from US to China to India to heck Afghanistan. However, Islamists forget to mention two things - BD buys a ridiculous amount of cotton from India. It produce textiles from that which it sells to US and Europe and...

India and Bangladesh are on mission mode for this(like 90% of South Asia). After 5 years our stats will look way different and will show more progress than the last 10 years combined.

A man can dream :D

Not a Union. It was the area in which Indian civilization thrived for millenia. Then the barbarians came, conquered the region disrupted the civilization. It still remains the area in which our natural influence spreads though a thousand fold less than before. Its not a project though. No...

It is an example of shining India. Just like US citizens working in India also remit back a lot of money..its not because they have no jobs back there, its because they are expats with niche skills that are required in India. Same for India vis-a-vis rest of South Asians. Indian workers are the...

Actually, Indians working in Pakistan would be very high skilled working in elite positions. Pakistanis working in India would be the worker kinds. So there is a massive difference. Much like how Americans working in India generally perform high skilled niche roles whereas Indians working in US...
