Naah.... SCAR suits Pak Army....

Yet, so many countries, from Israel to Poland to Romania to... have no problems developing their own service rifle. It seems a mental block more than anything else, and no - these rifles are not tested over decades... most of the rifles in contention were tested for a few years at best.

Perks of semi socialism, we tend to discourage private industries in Pakistan n this reflects in the defence domain.

the maddening thing is that Pak already has some decent gun smiths some of whom export their own designs abroad. But no, these british era brown sahib Macauley's children will get a gora gun.

In an interview POF spokesperson said they have 60 years old machines. Lack of funding and other administration problems. But they are committed to give more with less provided.

when zardari and nawaj have stolen billions and there nothing left for anyone else what can one do!

The issue is that POF is incompetent at designing anything meaningful. Funding or no funding. This is an action for a private firm or a competition among local private firms. Put out an RFP for a local gun and see how many companies come out of the woodwork to propose their solutions....

They key to eliminating this mentality is to eradicate English from our education and embrace Urdu. We are raising people with chains on their minds.

yes no issues on that; if i listen to your news media or even i meet here; they have bastardised their language like the Hinglish (jrrr man, i cant take that accent and mixed up fanagalore type of language).

There needs to be complete mandatory use of proper language words. When I speak a language I will never mix another language words but those of it only. For example, when i speak farsi, i will not try to mingle english words as it looks odd yet when urdu speakers now speak it is a bastardisation. It shows a complete lack of respect for a language and it is more sounding like the moroccan arabic which is completely bastardised between french berber and their pigoen arabic.

amen to that brother, amen. Most of us dont speak that way, only the gandus do.

no prblem. jrrr. i cant stand the curry muncher accent. it is like they are hyperventilating and warping between languages like a confused cow (no disrespect to a cow).
but i implore you to get your house in order; you have a beautiful language and yet people are throwing it away. I love farsi and as i immerse myself into it more and more it is becoming clear how much sway it has and how Iqbal saw urdu as being unable to hold his thoughts.

We had semi socialism under aparthied and yet innovation was thriving. Same with the Soviets as well.

That curry muncher accent is signature of Indians, not Pakistanis..... u r misinformed it seems....We tend to speak clearly and without an accent. The thing i was referring to is the small group of people who try to westernize their urdu accent and it is a very very small minority and by the way curry is delicious, try to develop respect for food and culture alien to urself.

Regarding Urdu itself, i despise those who try to mix it with other languages but i did not invite u to attack urdu itself in favour of farsi, here too it seems u spoke out of lack of knowledge. Urdu is a mixture of Arabic, Turkish and Farsi. It is a beautiful hybrid of three beautiful languages.

Regarding socialism, we all saw where it got the soviet union(we had a huge) contribution in it), take China for example, they have a socialist govt yet the scale on which they have encouraged there private sector is unprecedented. China has mastered regulated capitalism, calling it socialism wont make it so.

No offence but south africa is not something we look up to, as wise men say "if u look beneath u, gravity will make u its bitch."

Cheers mate.
