Pakis viewpoint that its a perception problem directly carried from the ruler and the ruled part. The rulers like the DG ISPR whose kids are studying in boarding schools in US, or the next DG ISPR who owns ~$50M investment in Papa Johns franchise, live in their own bubble world where money and riches flow easy. There is an open loot going on and that is considered perfectly normal. Everyone in ruling class feel entitled to riches from this loot.

For common man, its Islam and fear/hatred of Hindus. They should feel lucky and be thankful to the rulers that India is not conquering them. And that they can live safely.

They have hit a point of no return in their decline.

maybe that's why it cost them just 3 million paki rupees to transport it and set it up

the low end cheeni workers will drink any alcoholic beverage that they can get their hands on, like similar workers anywhere else
Reportedly most of the low-end Chinese workers are prisoners in the mainland who have been offloaded to make money off the Pakis and maybe marry some of their women.

Ejaz Hidehere even wrote in TFT "Do not let India control the narrative"

Peearef folks coined H&D (EcchandDee for the oldies) and it is remarkably perceptive

Pakis are obsessed about "narratives". A typical refrain is "India Pakistan equal==equal, India has better PR".

This has a lot of implications: Pakis have better info ops than SDREs. Massa keeps repeatedly falling for Paki promises (Cheeni brethren seem to have learned from this, and have given money in the form of loans and insisted on collateral). For example, latest articles on Taliban focus on how Pakistan is doing its best, without mentioning that Taliban are an arm of Pakistan's ISI, nothing more, nothing less. It is because they have trotted out all of their special advisors, journalists and army types to hammer home the message.

Where are the SDREs? Why isnt anyone shouting from top of the Qutub Minar that Katmandu hijacking was planned and executed with ISI + taliban involvement, and it was a dry run for 9/11 and that is why India has security interests in not having ISI + taliban take over power again?

One silver lining is that focussing on narratives only goes so far. Narratives are not going to increase their balance of payments numbers. Narratives are not lasting either: Musharraf might have been Bush's best buddy, but now Musharraf is on his way to get his 72 and Pakistan is not any better than it was in 2000. Lastly the "narrative" trick doesnt work on SDREs.

As someone once astutely observed "Pakistan is obsessed with India and India is obsessed with itself".

Najam Sethi 2 weeks back on why ceasefire happened
Mr Modi is not in a particularly happy situation at home and abroad. Kashmir remains a bloody sore with unprecedented human rights abuse that has seriously dented India’s soft power in the international arena – the EU recently threatened trade sanctions if such abuse continues – no less than violent majoritarian Hinduism that has suffocated liberal secularism and gagged media freedoms. The militant and continuing farmers protest follows widespread outrage at the CAA anti-citizens, anti-Muslim bills. India’s bruising at the hands of China up in the LAC in the Ladakh corridor in recent months hasn’t done its hard power much good either. The surging Covid-19 casualties, lockdowns and resultant joblessness have laid vast populations low. Economic recovery is still far away. An unwinnable war with Pakistan, under the circumstances, has lost its tactical appeal. Prodding by the US to patch up with Pakistan and concentrate on the common QUAD strategy to contain China must also have played an important role.
Najam Sethi today on why ceasefire happened
pro-active COAS is trying to ease tensions with India and “normalize” – forget Kashmir for the time being — because they have drained his budgets and stretched his limits. The long war on the LOC was very costly – according to experts, hundreds of artillery shells costing thousands of USD were being lobbed every day, not to forget the cost of maintaining troops at full alert along a long perimeter. Just the fuel cost of keeping squadrons of PAF jets in the air when tensions were periodically running high was prohibitive. In real terms, the defence budget is more or less frozen because the government’s revenue base hasn’t increased in the last two years owing to a slump in the economy, partly due to Covid-induced business lockdowns, partly to the harsh conditions imposed by the IMF adjustment program and partly to bad policy decisions by Imran Khan.
And he is supposed to be a moderate!! The need to protect H&D is strong.


Meanwhile, here is some comic relief (click for video)

Moeed Yousuf, Pakistan’s de facto NSA, here argues that as a Minster in-charge of commerce Imran Khan approved trade with India but as a head of the cabinet (Prime Minister), he opposed the proposal. “He may be the same person but he wears two different hats in this case.”

India has already started to convert some of the older diesel locomotives to all electric.

For this particular paki who wants to buy Indian locos "sastha", it is a real klpd and a well deserved one too




Indian Railways creates history! Converts diesel loco to ‘Make in India’ electric locomotive; watch video

Mar 03, 2018

Indian Railways creates history! Indian Railways production unit, Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), has for the first time converted a locomotive from diesel to electric traction. A WAGC3-class diesel locomotive has been converted to electric and the new indigenous 'Make in India' engine delivers 5,000 HP.


Indian Railways creates history! Indian Railways production unit, Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), has for the first time converted a locomotive from diesel to electric traction. A WAGC3-class diesel locomotive has been converted to electric and the new indigenous ‘Make in India’ engine delivers 5,000 HP, which is a 92% increase from the on rail track 2,600 HP of the older version of the locomotive. This 5,000 HP unit is one half of a 10,000 HP locomotive, says Indian Railways. According to the national transporter, two diesel locomotives are being converted to one “permanently coupled 12-axle, electric locomotive” of 10,000 HP. “The older diesel locomotive had 3,200 HP, but on track it was 2,600 HP. In case of electric there is no loss of HP and two engines are required, so two 5,000 HP locos are being coupled to yield an 10,000 HP,” a senior railway official told FinancialExpress.com.

Led by the first woman GM of DLW, Rashmi Goyel, the project is a definite step forward towards reducing carbon emissions and introducing new age technology in Indian Railways. A team of engineers from DLW, BHEL, RDSO and CLW worked on the project which was completed under the guidance of Member Traction of Railway Board, Ghansyam Singh. The work on the ambitious and historic project began on December 22, 2017 and the new locomotive was dispatched on February 28, 2018. From concept to execution the conversion of the diesel locomotive to electric was carried out in just 69 days! The new electric locomotive is a prototype which will now be tested for further improvements.

Indian Railways and its officials chose a locomotive that was due for a mid-life rehabilitation. It was decided that the traction motors, bogies and chassis of the older diesel engine would be retained. A roof and sidewalls of a decommissioned WAM4-class electric locomotive were used. DLW made the drawings for modification of the locomotive, while RDSO prepared the equipment layout. BHEL worked on the power drive of the locomotive along with RDSO. A WAG7 class electrics was chosen to work with the existing traction motors, says Indian Railways. One challenge that railway engineers faced was the fact that of electric control since electric locomotives have dual cabins, while traditionally diesel engines have single cabins. That meant that the control wiring for around 9 kilometres had to be adapted accordingly.

Indian Railways has already started work on modifying the chassis of another locomotive unit. According to Indian Railways, a twin CoCo, WAGC3 would equal power of almost four WDG3A. This, hopes Indian Railways, will enhance the average speeds of freight trains.

Meanwhile, Indian Railways is also testing its new 12,000 HP electric locomotive that has been manufactured by Alstom at a factory in Bihar’s Madhepura. This locomotive is part of ‘Make in India’ order placed by Indian Railways for 800 electric locomotives. Two new diesel electric locomotives have also recently been delivered to Indian Railways by GE as part of an over $2 billion ‘Make in India’ project that involves both import and manufacture of 1,000 locomotives.

moeed is absolutely powerless and, besides he really has no dog in the fight. he is merely the temporary hired help as he himself knows all too well.

moeed, at the end of his tenure, which may be a short lived one, going by the fiasco that he has managed to generate, he will go back to his "academic position" at some shithole US university

anyway, he has just come just to burnish his CV

niazi khan and bajwa, to get out of the needless mess that they have made, may well end up blaming moeed for the whole fiasco
To be fair to moeed Yusuf..he has always pitched for trade with india
he is singing the tune that his US masters require him too. He is a US owned and US trained performing clown and the US, as well as, the pakis trot him out every now and then.

continued and uninterrupted trade between India and pak is the defacto US position and it does not matter to the US how many Indians die as long as the paki army, their pet viper, profits at India's cost. This trade is weighted heavily in favor of the pakis who take advantage of the low prices in India to purchase food stuff, medicines and other essentials.

This cools the tempers of the ayeshas and abdools who default quickly back to bashing India as opposed to bashing the paki govt or worse, the paki army which, BTW is exactly what is happening right now with both bajwa and niazi khan squarely in the crosshairs

India gets almost nothing in return, politically speaking or even national security wise and we still come out as the bad guys.

At the national level, Indo pak trade was never ever merely about the money. the paki politicos/army see it as jizya.

It is the Indian public and the kandle kissers who are blinkered.

this "continued and uninterrupted trade between India and pak" is also the much preferred position of the BIF inspired congis as seen by what MMS and his lootyens congi pals did for over 10 years

Modi has found the right buttons, both with the pakis, as well as, the cheeni:

No peace on the border == no trade.

Last year when the 1st run of the pandemic was at its peak and the Paki's were going jeehard at the Indian capabilities in Vaccine production, there was a talk show where a paki scientist claimed that what we lack is Bio reactors and the chemicals(No kidding). If we get some bio reactors (cost $35 Million each) then we can get chemicals from China and start production not only for Pakistan but the whole world and we can replace India as the vaccine supplier to the world :rotfl:

Pakis and others who have been bitching about the farmers protests should be asked to purchase any agro produce only at MSP or higher. I see no reason why we need to subsidize Paki consumers by paying MSP to farmers and charging retail prices (considerably below MSP) from the purchaser. If they don't buy, so be it.

Likewise I have suggested many time on this board that we should indeed purchase agro products from Pakis because of this exact same thing, but in reverse.

I have a very strong feeling that the pakis had expected an enthusiastic response from India about being "allowed" to resume trade

when none was forthcoming, and jaishankar did not make the much anticipated conciliatory moves at dushanbe for scheduling a "meeting" with the paki FM, the pakis panicked, fearing the worst, which was, for them, a very public rejection of niazi khan and bajwa's unsavory and taqiya joint enterprise of "trade" and that "trade" hopefully leading to free/cheap supply of covid vaccines and other essential commodities at inexpensive rates.

so before that imagined ignominious rejection came to pass, the pakis became unnerved and were literally stampeded into making a U turn to save their own islamic butts. The aam abdool and eyesha would have taken them to task for bartering away their eechandee.

so as usual, bajwa has bajaoed niazi khan and yet again left him holding the can, butt exposed and tattered shalwar flapping in the breeze

they still don't seem to get Modi and his tactics, having never ever been up against a nationalistic HINDU pm who places India above all else.

IMHO this is not about the "HINDU PM", let me explain.

For the first time, we have reacted proportionately to the economic opportunity that trade with Pakistan presents, which is, "meh". Our reaction has been bereft of emotion, as it should be. As others have pointed out, there isn't really much upside to trading with Pakistan, especially trading commodities which we have a small surplus of which can be used to build up internal stocks, or equally easily traded with other countries or for that matter already being sent to Pakiland via Dubai and other benamis.

In the past, just the fact that the Pakis are open to trade with us would have drawn raptures from the Lutyens gang. Today that is just not happening. Pakis have been cut down to the size of their actuals instead of being measured by the size of their egos. 250 million people with very little to show for it. Even Cuba with 26 million has a home-grown vaccine program. Pakis should be ashamed of themselves.

All this happened by house-cleaning on our side, together with the realization that we are being played by some vested interests. Did it take a "HINDU PM"? I don't really think so, any rational and sane person should have done the same regardless of religious affiliation. Regardless, black cat or white cat, if it catches the mouse it is a good cat.

we have had these levers for decades now and yet, somehow, we never bothered to use them against the pakis. one wonders why.

there is a very strong pro paki and anti India lobby in dilli and bollywood as also among the easily seduced and traitorous babooze and retired military lobby led by a largely hindi/punjabi/urdu speaking gang plus some ex NSA, R&AW and Foreign secretary types who are house niggers and part of the mafia family darbar

the lootyens liberandus are filled with paki elite from the so called erstwhile royal families, the small time nawabs, purveying sharab and the kabab, along with "sufi" music, mushairas and "mehfils" where one and all were decked out in hideously embroidered fagotty sherwanis and propping up a diseased alcohol and nasha filled social ecosystem that used to have deep roots into the very heart of all the previous govts.

many paki matters were quietly sorted out in favor of the pakis by pliant politicos and on the take babooze

lootyens or whatever, is nothing a dead carcass, and a rotting carcass, by any other name still smells rotten and call him Hindu PM or not, but this Hindu PM has taken out the trash.

and it is the much chagrined pakis in the perfumed but aggrieved drawing rooms of lootyens dilli who have been rendered politically impotent and irrelevant, it is they who have labelled him as the Hindu PM because they think that "Hindu" is a social epithet for gawar.

that is why the pakis have no track thoo approach of any kind at all to the power center in dilli.

no one from the erstwhile paki pasand "pay for play" aficionados, political pimps and power fixers have any access at all to the PMO/PM. This has seriously hit pimp incomes and freebies that the lootyens gangs considered as their right since independence.

it is also why niazi khan finds it so very difficult to get modi to even accept his phone calls.

Hindu PM is what they call modi in paki talk shows because they cannot understand or accept the fact that the pakis have become irrelevant to Modi's India

ditto

but it will take 10-15 years more of Modi yogi to ensure that the required changes take place and the pakis, both here, as well as, there are normalized.

pre independence, the paki elite, the ashraf had ideas as well as ideology but pakis that were rejected and abandoned in India are the ajlaf. They have no worthwhile leadership and so are invested only in violence against who they see as the enemy. The same enemy who feeds them, shelters and educates them almost for free.

we see saab ka vikas but they see jizya

a small but growing paki middle class is already rooting in India.

as for the majority, 70 saal baad bhagwan ne aankhe kholi humari.

the cry of jinnah walli aazadi has opened many a HINO eye that was hitherto shut wide.

MBS has invited summoned Dimran and he is going to Saudi Arabia to do GUBO.

No way Turkey is going to like it and only way Imran is going to keep the Turkish happy and play the double game is by revealing the Holland/Abdul Qadeer Khan Nuclear Xerox copies to Turkey.

pro-active COAS is trying to ease tensions with India and “normalize” – forget Kashmir for the time being — because they have drained his budgets and stretched his limits. The long war on the LOC was very costly – according to experts, hundreds of artillery shells costing thousands of USD were being lobbed every day, not to forget the cost of maintaining troops at full alert along a long perimeter. Just the fuel cost of keeping squadrons of PAF jets in the air when tensions were periodically running high was prohibitive. In real terms, the defence budget is more or less frozen because the government’s revenue base hasn’t increased in the last two years owing to a slump in the economy, partly due to Covid-induced business lockdowns, partly to the harsh conditions imposed by the IMF adjustment program and partly to bad policy decisions by Imran Khan.
this is why rather than silver bullets we need simple and indigeneous weapons that can ruin the day for them..mere existence and deployment of 10 sqdns of tejas (mk1, 1a), ATAGS, dhanush/pinaka and arjuns on an offensive can actually give them a lot of pain ..if we let them recover and come out of this ..then only we are to blame

Chinese mouthpiece in India doing its part in promoting Bhikaristan.
Top officials of the cash-strapped Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) will push for revival of bilateral ties against India during the 47th FIH Congress in New Delhi next month.

A top PHF official said it is an important meeting as the FIH president and executive board members will be elected for the next four years. “The meeting will give us an opportunity to talk to the Indian hockey federation officials on the possibility of reviving bilateral ties that could benefit Pakistan and India and the hockey followers in both countries,” he said.(Trying to be too smart by half)

The official said that Pakistan is keen to revive bilateral series even at neutral venues as it is badly in need of finances and believes only a series with India can allow it to earn good money from broadcasting rights, sponsors, advertisers etc.

Pakistan and India have not had any bilateral hockey ties in the last decade and PHF officials want to “convince their Indian counterparts of the financial benefits for both federations” from playing against each other.(Chutiyas pathetic attempt to do equal equal)

Pakistan’s push to reset ties met with US lukewarm response
ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan's efforts to reset what is often dubbed as "transactional relationship" with the United States have been met with a lukewarm response by the Biden administration.

When Joe Biden took over as US President, Islamabad was hoping for transforming its ties with Washington from being security driven to one based on economic cooperation.

The optimism stemmed from the fact that President Biden knew Pakistan well and his knowledge of the country could help pave the way for better understanding.

However, officials here admitted that the Biden administration has so far given a cold shouldered response to Pakistan’s push for seeking a reset in ties.
Despite in the White House for over two and half months, President Biden hasn't yet spoken to Prime Minister Imran Khan over the phone. It is a ritual that the new US President speaks to heads of governments and states. He has already spoken to the Afghan President and the Indian Prime Minister.
:((
What angered the new US administration is thought to be the acquittal of Daniel Pearl’s alleged mastermind by the Supreme Court just when Biden took charge. Pakistan was conveyed in clear terms that it had to ensure justice was served to the murderers of American journalist.

But the Daniel Pearl case is not just the only reason behind lukewarm attitude of the US. The other key reason is believed to be effort by the US administration asking Pakistan to move away from China.

Pakistan, although is trying to maintain balance in its ties with the US and China but Washington seems want a clear shift in the country's approach.
Looks like Pakis thought they could pull a fast one on the US during the administration transition chaos by releasing their pet dog.
"Yes, we have time tested relationship with China. CPEC is central to our development yet that doesn't mean we should be seen through the Chinese lens," said an official explaining Pakistan wants to pursue a policy that avoids being a proxy in the China-US tussle.
Does anyone remember all the "US is declining, China is the next superpower and our savior" articles in Paki press when CPEC was announced? Look where Pakistan is now. Eagerly waiting for a phone call from US.

So this US snub could be another reason for Bajwa's peace overture. Till now Pakistan has sought US assistance in dealing with India in return for co-operation in Afghanistan. This could be a signal to US that they have delinked Kashmir from Afghan peace process.

Pakistan has been a crucial strategic partner to the United States in three different phases of its global engagement.
This strategic association has helped Pakistan engage with the international financial system at a level that exceeds the actual capacity of the country
But the one that has turned out to be the most shape-shifting strategic relationship is the one Pakistan has with China.
this strategic relationship was not particularly important to the strategic partnership between Pakistan and the US
country’s ability to pivot from geopolitical and geostrategic to geoeconomics
The Pakistani elite – led by its military – have embarked on a reform of the country’s strategic calculus.
One long hard look at the array of seventy plus and in many cases eighty plus year old men that surround PM Khan as the Sherpas for this important strategic shift should be enough to raise the alarm.
This strategically important article comes at a strategically crucial time for Pakistan by a strategic article writer who appears to be strategically a mother from another brother of another strategic article writer Ejaz Haider.
