Then couple of questions here: 1) What is the relevance of the timing (February 20, 2003) to the Zia-isation of Mushaf Ali Mir? 2) N^3, if the US can ask the Pakistani junta to keep the US out of the terrorism target but run riot elsewhere ... my question is why would the US allow TSP to run riot an...

kgoan, Pakistan exists only on paper. The very fact that we can't talk about Pakistan without bringing in the analogy of several quarrelling wimmen over some wierd issue is another way of saying that TSP ceases to exist as an independant state. What they are quarreling about seems to be the big ques...

Another non-redline is sale of arms to India?

N^3, if one were to adopt your logic, do you think the elimination of Mushy solves a lot of problems? For a while let's think Mushy doesn't exist, with all the other people and events surrounding them with their relationships intact. And then work onwards to figure out what happens. I am having a ha...

Jagan and Naidu, the maps are from 1955 IIRC, and I guess the peaks in that area were named/renamed later repeatedly from both sides? So the names we know of might not appear on it word for word. Sunil, amazing, isn't it? I guess they have such maps for each and every country. I was looking at my ho...

What happened to manku's post? Anyways, the correct images are NI43-4 and NI43-8. Thanks to manku!

Looks like the US Army maintains an extensive set of 1:250000 scale maps of India. One thing that is interesting is that the most important NJ43-16 portion that covers the Saltoro-Siachen-Karakoram area is missing from that collection (the NJ43-15 portion is available, though - till the Skamri and K...

I must point out that no one is answering the questions I am repeatedly asking.Why did wisdom suddenly dawn in 1983.There was enough activity by Pakistan much before that.Please see Bishwa's response above.Do you mean to say that all the corps/army commanders/chiefs were militarily incompetent befo...

Absolutely brilliant thread, and wonderful contributions from everybody! Thanks to all participants ... I am learning a lot ...

GD, Navy Nagar is in Colaba - south Mumbai. Depending on the time of the day, it can take anywhere between 30 min to infinity to get to Sahar. But I hear things now are getting better - with the numerous flyovers, the planned sea links and all. However, Pune to Mumbai I entered from Thane side (Nort...

Jagan, Rakesh, I've noticed the LCA Image Gallery sections haven't been updated in almost 2 years ... the most recent picture there is of KH2001 ... any reasons for not updating them with the new pictures released of all three airframes?

Kaushal, maybe you are right ... however the other examples you cite have moved ahead in time. Subhash Chandra Bose was stuck in time. No fault of his, though.

Abhinav, try not to use GIF; but JPG, PNG and XPM are preferred. GIF has patent issues. Otherwise nice drawing.

It would be nice if admins host those BrahMos images in BR's temp folder, because the website hosting them right now is not very reliable. I am sort of puzzled as to why the IN is going for an inclined launcher instead of VLS - the space savings and inherent 360 degree launch advantage would themsel...
