I hope that results in just as many actual orders too.. "Booking" only requires a fee of 15-20,000 rs and people usually book multiple high in demand vehicles but buy only 1 whichever suits their timelines, desire etc the most Do they lose the booking deposit or only the interest they cou...

CKD causes shutdowns? So that paki Suzuki “plant” is still at “IKEA assembly” levels with zero inputs from local ancillaries? I remember badmash waxing eloquent about how they have Mehran, their auto industry is advanced and is better than maruti etc in the 90s. Fact that plant was shutdown complet...

That may be exactly what Qatar Airways (and even Pakistan) wants, i.e. Qatar offloading the troublesome Pak-Doha leg to PIA while taking over all the other routes. PIA and that hotel in Manhattan are often the target of debtors and others involved in litigation against the many poorly negotiated Pak...

Any idea why Lutyens WKK Aunty is in Afghanistan doing a bunch of interviews, wearing a burkha and all?

Pakis have come up with this new farce on their so-called independence day: Pakistan emerges as 24th largest economy in 75-year journey https://www.dawn.com/news/1704774/pakistan-emerges-as-24th-largest-economy-in-75-year-journey The nominal GDP rose from $3 billion in 1950 to $383bn in 2022, while ...

I am always impressed at Sikh solidarity, they are out there protecting Lal Singh's honour. Lol, clearly BIF > "Sikh Honor" for these gentlemen. The movie perpetuates the stereotype of Sikhs being low-IQ, and has riled up quite a few prominent community members including Monty Panesar.

BTW, the word "Indonesia" means "Indian island" All SEA countries have strong linkage to India e.g., even the names of the countries. Indonesia= Indian island; Singapore and Malaysia are both sanskrit words "(Malay"= mountain e.g., Hi"malaya") Cambodia is Ang...

Fake news/headline from DDM, which their own article debunks. The statement from the minister simply states that HAL had responded to their tender. He never said that Malaysia has in any way agreed to procure it.

Dimran had a lot of sponsors starting from Hamid Gul and even Musharraf. This guy was simply one of the several moneybags who funded him. The biggest sponsor of course, without which he would never had come to power, was the 'establishment'. Praveen Swami, Shekhar Gupta, The Print and their likes on...

Not just this guy, pretty much all of Pakistani 'hubbulwatani' elites believe that.

Just when economic stability was restored after the 2019 balance-of-payments crisis, we were struck by a second crisis in March 2020 that appeared truly unprecedented at the time. COVID was a boon for Pakistan's failing economy and got them an extra lease of time. Pakis were able to manage their CA...

The realisation is slowly dawning. Pakistan’s days of extracting geopolitical rent are over. What next? Knowing Paki elites, they will still try to persist at geopolitical rent seeking, and as to what's next, the answer is the search for other forms of rent seeking. Their rent seeking nature will n...

The report in Nikkei was by Wajahat Khan who it seems is close to PTI. His report claimed that Bajwa reaching out to US was confirmed by both Pak and US sources. I call BS on US sources. Such reach outs must be closely guarded secret (most powerful person in Pak reaching out to a deputy secretary i...

Does the Paki GDP and GDP per-capita in $ terms shrink with the fall in value of PKR? If so can we expect a 25% shrinkage this year?

Bart S

Do they even have it in the first place, for a question of surrender to arise? Their nukes if any are likely to be of Chinese origin, closely monitored and kept under lock and key already by China, with the Americans monitoring the only reliable delivery systems that they have.

Bart S

Bajwa himself is now openly begging the Americans for $1.2bn. :rotfl: https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/International-relations/Pakistan-army-chief-appeals-to-U.S.-in-rush-to-avoid-debt-default As funny as this whole situation is, I think most of the recent fall in value is due to a combination of s...

On the subject of BSNL, the greatest advantage that it has is the statutory right to lay cable underground for the last mile. In my neighborhood there are at least six to seven DTH and telecom players having their cables strung from electric posts and tree tops. Every one of them is a sitting duck ...

Bart S

Also, prior to 2019 elections there were rumors of Modi selling off BSNL and all the staff were pissed off and turned anti-govt. They are unionized, completely uninterested in contributing to the national interest, and anti-govt anyway. How many of these people are there to make an actual differenc...

Its the same story everywhere expect for their Fiber internet which may be gaining some footholds in rural households. The installation seems outsourced and seems to work okay when it comes to timely installation. That will also vanish once 5G starts arriving. BSNL 5G could be the only hope that al...

Bart S

If that is the goal, BSNL is the absolute worst way to go about it.

OK. Target Indian Rupee:Paki Rupee 1:3. met in the open market. One Indian Rupee worth 3 Pakis Sir, according to Pakis on their mainstream media channels, "Mayoosi Failana" is a crime under Islam and (and hence not Kosher on TV censored by ISPR). :(( So the correct narrative (also a favor...

None other than a US president in Nixon and their (probably even more powerful) strategy/FP czar in Kissinger have been on record with racist and bigoted views that were almost as crass, and so was Churchill.

Establishment basically screwed PMLN over by getting them to pass unpopular reforms demanded by the IMF and then calling elections, while they had apparently initially promised them a longer run. If they go to elections in a couple of months, they might get totally screwed. Dimran looks like the out...

A dishonest assessment meant to continue to fool the goras and keep the Princeton checks coming.

Note also that TFTAs don't let any party get an absolute majority by themselves, they ensure that whichever party they 'select' has to depend on smaller parties (MQM pro-Army faction, PML-Q, and others propped up by the TFTAs) to make up the numbers and hence the TFTAs get to play kingmaker at all t...

Maybe not be against the whole Military but just the Bajwa faction. But were not all these seats held by PTI before the no confidence motion? Out of 20, 11 were PTI and 9 were independent who later joined PTI. Because they voted in favor of no confidence motion all of them were unseated and bye ele...

I think the TFTAs will wait for the current dispensation to get an IMF agreement, pass unpopular measures and then call for elections. The aam Abduls will be enraged with badmash junior and vote in Kaptaan. The it will be Taliban Akhundzada in Afghanistan and Taliban Khan in Pakistan. One good thin...

The number one priority will be to ensure that these pigs never, ever get OCI or PIO status.
