^^ Why is MKB so ceaselessly batting for the TSPA in the last few articles? Actually it is very simple.

The congress has been in power 50 out of 60 years since independence....and you seem to be alluding (If I have understood your post) now India has been sold to the Americans. So whose fault is it again? Obviously it is the fault of Congress and Gandhi family. "The congress has been in power 50...

Ambani praised the Chinese effort of increasing its business and economic relationship with India. India, he said, is the largest trading partner of China, a place, which was earlier occupied by the US. India is a young country as compared to China.

Its interesting that people talk in terms of "hammered in the thick skulls of kashmiri muslims" in case they protest a state-sponsored migration attempt....Would you say that the same state should use the same tools to hammer the same sense of "Indianness" in the "thick sku...

In the recent past following the revealtion of yet another scam in India, somebody made the following comment to me. Its just an observation. You may agree or disagree with it.

Does this treaty have an expiry date? If this verdict goes against the core interests of India then India should refuse to renew the treaty unless China gets into similar treaty.

Funny. These "many analysts" also subscribe to the theory that Jinnah did not want Pakistan, it was just a bargaining ploy, and Pakistan was forced upon him. Partition was a very classic stroke by the British. It was a master stoke not only in geopolitical sense but it created a massive w...

. People behave only in two situations. Either when they are afraid of law or when they are afraid of God. Now the problem is people are not uniformly afraid of law. Only the weaker section is afraid of law and the powerful ones have ways to bend the laws to suit their interests. In the hierarchy of...

It is going to be very difficult to ascertain if the corruption flows top down or bottom up because corruption is everywhere. It is almost as omnipresent as God. In that respect Shiv has the right pulse on India. My own observations of India concur with his. As such corruption is a very broad term a...

What is quite interesting is the ability of US to rally around more and more countries for her cause. It has been their mantra when dealing with adversaries.

However, a TSP-China alliance which would control Afghanistan's mineral resources and co-opt Iran and Saudi Arabia is what will make western elites uncomfortable.

That's an erroneous step. Absolutely incorrect to do any such thing. Of course, it would bring India one more step closer to being "Shariah compliant" , which seems to be the fashion these days around the world. Well, just because certain sections of Indian population happen to follow isl...

The fact that there are more Muslims in India than in TSP is proof enough that TSP is the wrong choice. Yes we all know the facts but facts hardly mean anything for Pakistanis. It must be said out loud every time Pakistan harps about Kashmir. We rarely hear about POK as disputed territory. In most ...

My apologies to Spinster to copy him without giving due credit. It was not intentional. First of all I had not read Spinster's quote and second although I read fair bit of BR it is simply beyond my time limits to keep on top of it.

I don't think that is a bad idea. Let us start talking tough. But I think it is a good idea to start planning on what to do next if tough talk does not work and the Pakis and Chinese are not deterred by Indian talk and posturing.

The main thing I'm concerned about with an Indo-US alliance is that it would really be a Kaangress-US alliance, with both colluding to make sure that Kaangress stays in power for decade after decade, like Japan's LDP.

Thank you Sridhar for detailed reply. I do read this thread regularly and had seen those posts. Thank you for taking the time to elaborate.

I have read on this forum that IWT does not forbid India charging for real-time telemetry data. Is there any way for Pakistan to get the verdict from NE or arbitration court to "formally rule" that India cannot charge for real-time data. Would such a ruling be binding on India?

What is fascinating is TSP while depending on both US and PRC for its very survival, it works very hard at undermining both of them thru Islamist insurgencies and non state actors. And both still keep their ties with TSP! Pakistan's real potential for US and PRC is not in a war scenario. That kind ...
