cultivation and distribution of opiates finance the NE two-bit groups. infra development will allow naypyidaw better control over north myanmar. replacement of poppy with better paying alternate crops will wean away farmers.

Wouldn't it have been a better idea to wait and see whether the Chinese supply the CX-1 to Pakistan before supplying Brahmos to Vietman and use it as a sort of threat? Can't believe I'm seeing this on BRF. They have supplied nukes to Pakistan already!!! why disbelief? vibrant democracy onlee saar.

Your predecessor A K Antony had a reputation, as you do, that he was honest. Why didn’t this work to the advantage of the ministry in 10 years? His honesty is part of your ministry’s legacy, is it not? I will put it like this. Honesty without output is of no use… It’s not that if you are honest the...

i was responding to what you said earlier: As far I have heard, from Mechuka a track (slightly more than just a track) has been built but it stops well short of the valley proper both for Yarlong and Labang. Road at Lo La does not show up among people I spoke to. so the road to lo-la was very much b...

The Telegraph article is of the Subansari valley which is a totally different valley and different road infrastructure.
