And why on earth will India "help" pakistan .? .... it is clear now that the nukes are safe with PA.... India makes it imperative for Pakistan to be chummy with the extremists..... barring a change in Pakistan orientation that makes that imperative void and also given the fact that the...

Perception is reality.

The West as much as it hates India's "hegemony" and demand for permanent seat in UN is ultimately in love with prosperity for its citizens, something that aligns with India's interests in prosperity for its own citizens glued by concepts of globalization and free-trade. LeT, although a tool...

Not sure about all these counsulate stuff but all that cash-shower on Afghanistan is sure one heck of a way to blow 1.2 b$ for a third-world India on a dysfuntional Afghanistan. Seriously ... like there are not other dysfunctional things more closer home to spend on. India should have seen the...

Then getting rid of the LeT proxies or atleast the resolve to do so would be a good start. As long as policy makers look at it in a territorial perspective all the talk of "european" solution is hogwash. Besides in europe there was a total German military defeat. Even if there is a total war...

many Indians can't point to kashmir on a map. ...... others who can,me included, couldn't know less about Kashmir & its prepetual problems - all the more so becasue kashmiris don't like India......the establishment here sees it as some sort of "strategic" piece of territory. And they are not...

An anti-Indian, pak-friendly govt in Kabul in the form of taliban (till it existed as a govt). A lever in the form of Afghan Taliban to influence events in Afghanistan (now). Whether it was worth it is an all-together different question.

My understanding is the recent round of Indo-Pak talks (unofficially under Musharaf) was not focusing on the plebiscite but on some sort of sharing, soft-borders etc. Rather than squabbling over the intricacies of a 5 decade old resolution, why not discuss these more recent developments?

Pakistan's Contradictions Found an interesting American perspective on Pakistan.

Both India & Pak pay in blood for Kashmir. That which has been won with blood & war will not be gifted or given away in "negotiations" or "talks". And it's a maxim that applies to both India & Pak. Anybody who believes otherwise is spinning wheels in the sand.

If this F-18 report were true, then I guess PAK-FA cannot be considered a stealth fighter, considering that the quoted figure did not include weapons. I always knew the Russians would never come out with a product that would match the F-22. Still I think a glorified MKI with a lesser RCS will...

I heard somewhere that PAK-FA's RCS is roughly equivalent to the F-18. Do you have any comments on that?

The article was published on Monday, Feb 14, 2005. Troll thread.

And how can that be achieved? nuke pakistan or maybe we should send secret hindu settlers there and start a proxy war. Until we have morons like you there would be no peace in this region.
