Can anyone please tell me how by having a base at Chittagong can the US counter growing Chinese presence in the South China sea.The US offering to "gaurd" the border with India is a ridiculous assessment(as if the US has no other priorities) which will for sure make Bangladeshi fan boys here...
Most probably a rumor.I haven't found any other source apart from timesnow.These guys can do anything for getting a little bit attention.However if it is true then it is not good news for India or Bangladesh.They will probably buy Bangladesh with billions of dollars and remain there for a very...
I hate long posts and find them very irritating.I am too lazy.I just finished watching and interview where Bill Gates mentioned that he has full confidence that the Indian economy will bounce back.Like me he too mentioned that the dampening of growth is a temporary thing .The main problem is...
My apologies for replying to a question that you asked another member.
I think the question is not about how the drone attacks are going to help A or B in this forum but how they aid the ISAF in Afghanistan.AFAIK the CIA and other allied agencies have a mechanism in place to detect terrorist...
The Indian economy slowing down is a temporary phenomenon.The fundamentals are still very strong.A change in the government in 2014 and an improvement in the external environment will definitely put India back on track.
What is BRICs at the end of the day?It is a grouping of countries which have very little in common other than the fact that they are emerging economies.It's not just India which is doing bad.All the members of the group are not doing so well.frankly speaking it won't matter to India if she was...
The Saudi air force providing air cover is mentioned in Steve Coll's Pulitzer prize winning book Ghost wars.Apparently Prince Turki had himself mentioned this to the CIA director some years later.You mentioned that no aircraft provided by the Arabs saw any action.AFAIK Middlecoat's F-104 which...
Now that is not entirely true.During the 71 conflict Jordan send a fleet of F-104s,Libya sent a fleet of Mirages and the Saudi air force gave air cover to the city of Karachi.
There are many factors that have to be considered here.Why do people go to US in the first place?Because the environment there is conducive for growth.Indians have done some really amazing things there.I can assure you that many of them would not have been that successful if they stayed back...
It's not only about opportunity but facilities as well.Also money matters.There are so many Indians working for NASA including one of my cousins.Many of them would return to India if the government is willing to pay them more.My cousin(Mtech and Phd from IIT Karagpur) got into ISRO and was...
:woot:
Ghauri missile beats prithvi .Seriously?
The Pakistani missile is named after the Afghan king Ghori who defeated Prithviraj Chauhan , the Raja of Ajmer in 1192.But India has named it's missiles after the basic elements i.e earth(prithvi),fire (Agni) etc..It's not named after any king...
There is no confirmation that the quality is poor.According to TATA the car has passed all EU safety tests.The car is revolutionary in many aspects and it would be unwise to expect that everything will be fine from the very beginning.I hope TATA has sorted out the issues if any.
I feel their marketing strategy was wrong.They never really explained why a person/family should go for the nano instead of going for the Maruti 800 or the alto.They never came out with statistics comparing the nano to other platforms in the same category.Any person who can afford the nano can...
The truth is that the Saudis don't give a damn about Kashmir.This Kashmir solidarity day is kind of a joke.I don't think anyone even cares about this.Pakistani embassies around the world invite some local minister and he says that Kashmir issue has to be settled ....blah blah blah.You guys...
My fellow countrymen , please stop posting pictures of our soldiers especially elite commandos.This is for their own safety .The less exposure the better it is .Thank you.
