British PM arrives on 3-day visit to Republic of India

[Crixus]

India should have an Intl sharing agreement with MI6 and MI5 ...as in many case the origin of terrorist activities in both countries is same .
By such agreement a lot of innocent Indian and British lives can be saved , may be they already share intelligence with each other.

On this one, I disagree with our P.M , we ought to all highly skilled Indians who want to come he to contribute to our growth and add value to our economy/companies. This is exactly why we voted for Brexit, it was about letting in high skilled individuals in our country not illiterate illegal immigrants/opportunistic fake "refugees" from the middle east and north Africa or low skilled immigrants from eastern European countries. So I don't understand why our leaders are limiting visas towards intellectual/highly skilled Indians working in I.T/technology sector from coming here. This is the wrong policy to adopt . Hwoever. It true that we have to sort out those illegal immigrants from India who abuse these visa system to come here and overstay illegally. We should crack down on that, while recognising that they are a minority and so that shouldn't overshadow/affect the whole scheme .


Which part of: " India is the 3rd largest investor in UK, while the UK is the largest G20 investor in India. Both countries support large numbers of jobs in each other’s economies." Don't you understand?

So India is the largest investor from developing world in Britain while Britain is the largest investor among major western powers in India. We have a shared history, common language and close historical ties with India, so we understand the country better than any other western power. So our relationship will keep being a close one irrespective of whether some people in the country might like it or not(due to past historical colonial stuffs) .

So so far it's a win-win relationship.

UK has its own agenda to keep India unstable, so do not expect any favours. The only real intelligence sharing will be under US pressure or if we have something similar of value to offer UK. Probably on China. Definitely on Afghanistan.

 

[Crixus]

They have whole MQM on their payrolls and they have huge presence in Karachi and it will be helpful and you are right , the harm Brits did to india is more thn anyother country in the world but still its time to move ahead by keeping the lessons we learned from past .

I am not sure what purpose the unstable India will serve to Bristish.

If we are unstable, they will control us. If we are stable, we will control them.

Have you ever read BBC ? ........ better to give them advice to 'move ahead'.

New faces and old couple...

 

[Crixus]

I personally get the feeling on Heathrow airport in 2012 ..they call Indians as Collies and who can fort the popular quotes in Regal Cinemas like Indians and Dogs are not allowed .

But still past is past and we have look forward , we cant carry this hatered for ever ..lesson learned now cooperate as much as we can ..... BBC is not the representative of British govt or all Brits

1. To hate them is to give them too much importance. I prefer to ignore them for now.

2. Payback is a must, but only at a time and place of our choosing.

3. BBC is the official representative of the british govt, funded by the govt. and controlled by the govt.

4. All brits have a collective responsibility for the actions of their govt. and for their history. Otherwise why do we hold pakistan responsible for terror ?

Payback is a must?? LMAO
So when are you invading us/when are you "paying us back " or whatever that means?
I said you, not your leaders or country, since they don't agree with you judging by the cordial relations and trade ties we enjoy
You can always try and invade us on your own though.(never mind that we have the world's 2nd largest defence industry with our defence companies having a global reach)

 

[Hindustani78]

India has asked the United Kingdom to return 57 fugitives, including liquor baron Vijay Mallya, and members of some Sikh extremist groups. A list of wanted individuals was handed over to the visiting delegation

Apart from Mr. Mallya, the list includes the likes of Christian Michel, the alleged middleman in the Agusta- Westland VVIP helicopter deal and 2002 Gujarat riots accused Sameer Ali.

Another person India wants to be extradited is Rajesh Kapoor in an alleged case of kidnapping of a child.

Lieutenant-General Kuldeep Singh Brar, 78, was attacked as he walked with his wife in central London in 2012.

Mandeep Singh Sandhu, of Birmingham, Dilbag Singh and Harjit Kaur, both from London and Barjinder Singh Sangha, of Wolverhampton, were sentenced earlier.

That is much better

She looks much better in a Sari than her traditional wardrobe and she seems to carry that sari with lot of grace and confidence. Clearly this is not the first time she has worn it.

Any idea which temple that is ?

I am all in favour of cordial relations. Why would I want it any other way ? Revenge is best served cold.

I am all in favour of cordial relationship with China and pakistan as well. But that is besides the point.

In any case there is no need to invade you anymore, we have already done that with 1.4 million Indians in UK. The way to payback is going to be subtle and yet effective and it will happen. Of that I have no doubt about my nations leadership for now or in the future.

Lmao. You say you don't need to invade us ANYMORE?? Have you ever had the capabilities to invade us in the first place? Seriously dude, stop this bragging. Seems Some Chinese and Pakistanis here were right about some of you always bragging for no good reason. Lol
Come back to reality, we accept any individuals who are skilled enough to contribute to our growth/industry but are deprived the opportunity in their poor home countries. If you call your brain drain as invading us, then I don't mind your brightest people to keep invading us. . But that will be according to our wishes to let them in or grant them this priced visas which they are so eager to get.

People Invade something of VALUE, that is why you came to India and invaded India. But what do you have that we need to invade ? We already own your Land Rover, jaguar and corus british steel and Tetley.

Enjoy our invasion while your PM comes begging to India. We are the first nation she has visited after taking office. While Modi deliberately delayed his visit to england to show you your place. His 29th place to visit.

BTW the real brain drain is people going to the US, those who go to Australia or UK is hardly our best. Not even our second best. But good enough for you.

Enjoy your slide into ignominy.

Old boyyyyyy, this guy is even more delusional than I thought. Seems his hatred of Britain runs even deeper than I imagined(probably a colonial hagover. lol) . Seriously you are embarrassing more sane and sensible Indian members on here.
So according to you we invaded India , and many other developing countries in Africa, Asia etc simply because we had nothing of value to offer? Lmao.
Old boy, you are funny. For your infos, every major power with the military capability throughout history has always expanded its influence and even territory as far as they have the capability/potential to do so . Roman Empire, Mongol empire, Soviet UNION, BRITISH EMPIRE, U.S empire today(as some may call it.lol) and even the Muslim mughals who also invaded and subjugated you people for a century etc etc.

So I don't understand what you are talking about. If anything we helped liberate you people from Muslim mughals empire stranglehold and oppression. , and helped unite your country and made it big by attaching South Tibet , part of Burma, and many other regions to our Indian Empire, offered you our global language, political governing parliamentary institution/system, democracy, All of which you still preserve to this day. So you should be grateful at least for this. Of course I'm not saying we were perfect and also did some bad things, that doesn't means you should only look at the bad aspect of what we did while ignoring all the god things we did as well.
Every empire did some bad deeds at one point, so I dont see your point of being so butthurt only about Great Britain.

Moreover you say we are begging India? SERIOUSLY? . MAte, you are still a developing country(one of the poorest on earth) , why will we beg a poor developing country who has almost 1/4th of the world's poor?
Calm down, it's all about business, there are no favours in business. Only opportunities investment and trade, period. we are the Largest Industrialised western country investor in India as well. Same as we are the largest foreign direct investor in the U.S by a wide margin. Using your logic, the U S is a beggar towards Britain. . Your logic is funny. We live in a globalised world, so Calm down.

Demanding more immigration for trade is stupid. Why would a country want its young people to make abroad?
