Awww

This peace is so bogus. Good things we have Indians fooled enough till we get our planes back up n ready . What? Isn't that what the Indians are thinking like already about us? Why disappoint them?

In just a matter of years now we will achieve a parity between our two forces that has been missing since the mid 80s. I say its all going good.

$365mn = roughly one squadron of Su-30s ... PER YEAR!

Parity = Wet dream.......lol

Dream on!!!!

What you are going to get is unprecendented superiority of the Indian Nation in every possible field.

365mil so what, we can afford it...
lol..flame on

Parity? Sorry Asim, no parity now, no parity ever.
When you get the number of planes we have now, the number of ships, the number of tanks, the number of men, the number of missiles, we would have increased that.

Talks on Siachen end without agreement

ISLAMABAD: Belying expectations, the talks on demilitarisation of Siachen glacier on Saturday failed to make headway with Pakistan turning down Indian demand for authentication of the troop positions held by both sides before any withdrawal of forces begins.

"Pakistan has not agreed on authentication which was basis for any plans to withdraw the troops by both sides. The Actual Ground Position Line (AGPL) has to be authenticated," an Indian official, who attended the talks, said at the end of the two-day parleys between the Defence Secretaries of the two countries.

He said authentication of the 110-km-long AGPL was a "prerequisite" for withdrawal and the rest will follow. "In the end there was not enough meeting ground to sign anything but both sides held discussions on options and tried to understand each other's positions," he said.

A brief joint statement issued at the end of the talks while reaffirming the support for the ceasefire, which has been in existence since November 2003, said the Defence Secretaries have agreed "to continue the discussions to resolve the Siachen dispute in a peaceful manner."

"The discussions were held in a candid and constructive atmosphere. The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to the November 2003 ceasefire between the two countries which is holding successfully," the statement said.

The talks were held between Defence Secretary Shekhar Dutt and his Pakistani counterpart Kamran Rasool at Pakistani Army headquarters in Rawalpindi, where both sides apparently stuck to their basic positions.

The nine-member Indian delegation, which included Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), Lt Gen Mohan Pande; Joint Secretary External Affairs Ministry, Dilip Sinha; and Surveyor General, Gopal Rao as well as Indian High Commissioner to Islamabad, Satyabrata Pal, took part in the talks, which were held as part of the fourth round of Composite Dialogue process.

While India, whose troops controlled advance positions on the world's highest glacier, insisted on their authentication on the maps, Pakistan which termed the 1984 deployment of Indian troops in Siachen as "illegal occupation" rejected it saying that Indian forces have to withdraw first.

Pakistan claims that India forcibly occupied Siachen heights in violation of the 1949 Karachi Agreement and the 1972 Simla Accord.

Officials said that the Indian side was very keen on authentication as it provided the basis for withdrawal. "How can you withdraw without knowing from where you are withdrawing? From our point of view authentication indicated where we are today and where we go tomorrow. We are keen on authentication. The rest will follow," the Indian official said.

However, he believed Pakistan in the near future might reconsider its stand. "They might, perhaps," he said, adding that Islamabad today understands the reasons why India wants authentication.

The Indian Defence Secretary also called on Rao Sikandar Iqbal, Pakistan's Senior Minister for Defence, the statement said.

$365 million/year is peanuts for us.

I wouldn't say that. Just ask your population, if they want peanuts. What was it? $1 or $10 per day?
