Can't MMS point out to his US interlocuters that Israel has nukes, US does not want Iran to have the same. Regional imbalance there, so whats wrong with regional imbalance in "South Asia". Why should there by any balance between between a terrorist,l nuke-peddling, Islamo fascists state w...

What kind of interview is done on the country. This is how the Indian media has come down so low. There is no patriotism in them to protect the country. Are the reporting for the foreign govt. This is how in Europe before the WWII media was behaving. Most of the media had no clue to that were worki...

He has a whole thesis on how he wants dawood to lead India since he's so much better than the SDRE lot we have now and the "bhai" is the part you have a problem with?

Nice.

Good point. The language is weak and casual and completely inverts the aggressor-victim equation. Similar usage by Indian diplomats, E.g., "Sharing our concern about terrorism" leaves the other party guessing so what action is required from me? IT is time India minds not only her language...

I am not suggesting to forgive or forget. All I am saying is that we can possibly do a more detached analysis. Detached analysis never won anybody anything. Wars are only won when enemies are properly identified and energies channeled towards defeating them. All this equivocation helps no one. The ...

Oh well.. I ask for official reports that prove these allegations and you come back with news reports. And sadly news reports that actually seem to buttress my point. "srael-India relations, which have been nurtured over the years, could be threatened because of media allegations " The so...

I think someone has to have the sense to come out with a standardization policy for India at a component and sub-component level and India goes the NATO stds ways and standardize around ISO and equivalent. This is ABSOLUTELY crucial. That way, you can risk proof against an obsolescent standard, and...

This is exactly the hyperbole, which leads to an "I am superior than thou" attitude which is the bane of the user-developer relationship, where the former dictates to the latter driven by a perception of superiority. For your attention, do you think that Saraswat - a man who gave up the o...

Regarding bash the army comment, I being the mango tax payer have every right to criticize them if they are not up to my satisfaction because I am the sole reason of existence for them.

While I agree in toto to whatever you've said in your post above, let us not go down the bolded part. First part of your bolded statement and second are not related in this case.

More disturbing is the fact that wrongdoing in the army are not being redressed even after given opertunities in its own eminent domain and being corrected from outside.

Basically what I suspected all along. US-brokered deal. India talks Kashmir & TSP goes slow on LET. Basically a quid pro quo. Now that MMS has sold India on making love to TSP, next step is US-mediated Kashmir deal: LOC++. I can just imagine the spinning; would do even Mutthiah Murlitharan and ...

Yes, technically speaking the evaluations are confidential, but its not unheard off to have officers speaking off-the-record to journalists.

Its basically logistics and 'lets not rock the boat'. The army brass while as patriotic as they come, are rather set in their ways. They have certain preconceived notions and its takes an effort to change that view. But, the fact to take away is that news is getting around and the Arjun is here to ...

Just want to remind all of us that - Increasing the GDP to >$5T or being 2nd largest economy will not be sufficient for India. Then the scale will change to per-capita GDP. So no matter what India will be running behind some goal or other. IMO It is better to look inward and strengthen internal soc...

Before any bifurication what we need is an acknowledgement the CRPF leadership failed to transform CRPF into a 'warrior' force which it should have been for at least 5 years past.

The SSC officers of the Army, on their leaving the army, should be offered permanent commission in this force, if they choose to join it. This used to be true for at least the police earlier.

On one point though I agree with the sympathizers. In my opinion, that there has been no terror attack since 26/11 is only partly due to Indian vigilance, and virtually has nothing to do with any posibility, if it all it exists, of India militarily retaliating to the next provociation. Its more lik...

As long as industry can sell products in IndiaPakistan, terrorism is not a problem. Terrorism is a problem only for the tourism and aviation industries.

I'd imagine industry has the most to lose with terrorism. Wasn't it a CII panel that recommended strong reprisals to terrorism in the wake of the mumbai attacks(and causing lots of takleef all around)? I imagine that like most Indians they couldn't care less if the army/police/CPMF continue with a s...

As I understand it, the RAW is a part of the cabinet secretariat and hence not directly accountable to Parliament. Their budget is therefore not available to the public.
