Re: Indian Army: News & Discussion
Indian soldier killed in Pakistani shelling RayC sir, Other than the Political will, is there any reason why the IA does NOT retaliate, when one of their OWN dies HELPLESSLY? I have read time and again, that IA does not retaliate, because we choose to play by the book and not violate the cease fire...

Re: India-China News and Discussions
The first domino to fall before the Dalai Lama trip to AP... I suspect that the babus and politicos in Dilli are already seeing their feet and spine turn to clay before Nov 8th.. I fail to see what they are so scared of.

Re: Deterrence
Why is the NFU policy sacrosanct in the Indian context? If India decides to abandon it, wouldnt the whole strategic and deterrence paradigm shift significantly? From what I read, seems like India does not have a operational/deployed nuclear arsenal and that seems consistent with a NFU stance but see...

Re: Indian Army: News & Discussion
What are the implications? 4 Corps gains strength and the China-India border gets bolstered with additional strength. If we are permitted to dream, 4 Corps would become a mountain version of a Pivot Corps if some of the divs under it (esp 5 Mtn Div) get converted to Sundarji's vision of RAMID. That...

Re: Indian Military Aviation
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8284073.stm This seems like a continuing saga with BAE systems. Since the IAF has been a recent BAE customer for the Hawk, I thought I would post this here. Just a whiff of a scandal is enough to blacklist any firm these days so even though the Hawk deal with Indi...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8260230.stm Hope indian foreign policy makers (though I doubt India has any of those since we dont have a coherent policy these days, seems to be made up as we stumble along) are taking note of the American way of doing things. Should give anyone a pause for thoug...

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
vera_k, thanks for the link. I figured the discussion would have come up on some blog before. While I agree that the naval designers have to learn to walk before they can run, the main question is why would they not consider a nuclear propulsion system from IAC2 onwards. Also, if the AC is pretty bi...

Re: Indian Naval Discussion
I am sure this has been brought up before but could not find any reference to it on this thread but now that the nuclear power plant for Arihant is almost ready to go, is there a reason why the next generation of our IACs would not be nuke propelled? I would imagine that in addition to the greenhous...

Well, here it is, fellow BRF-ites: Please let me know your thoughts, and if you approve, spread the links far and wide.

Re: Indian Non-response to Terrorism after Mumbai
JwalaMukhi, I see it differently. Oh come on... this is the same argument after every terrorist attack. I believe we will continue to hear this every time there is a major attack. It has not happened in 15 plus years since the bombay blasts of 93, its not going to happen now. The only time there wa...

Re: Indian Response to Terrorism after Mumbai
What is beyond me is the fact that the indian media seems to completely lack the critical thinking and analytical capability to come up with questions for indian policy makers and politicians. Chidambaram had his first press conference and though I did not see any TV footage of it, from what I read,...

Re: Indian Response to Terrorism
The bottom line is that if one talks about taking out the heads of terrorist groups, you have to seriously think about taking out and eliminating the leadership of the pukistan army and their intelligence services. There is really no point in talking about eliminating (the funny thing is that the in...
