Re: MRCA Discussion - October 2, 2010

@Anirban, You're right, everyone's been saying the same thing. ToT, Indian Cos' emergence in their supply chain, long term relationship etc.

The recent episode with the Paki-US, where US is threatening to stop all diplomatic ties, gives me a warning bell that they are really not at all trustworthy.

Everyone, I'm not able to follow details of the BR Meetup.

Do we need a separate thread for that?
