    India has today said that it is ready to start a dialog with Pakistan. This action comes despite no action by Pakistan to give up terrorism as state policy. The talks are futile since the talks are with the Pakistani political leadership, who don't call the shots with matters relating to India. The talks initiated now by India maybe due to US pressure to dismiss Pak army's case for a imminent "India threat" and it's threat to shift the action to eastern front.

    The talks may be aimed at giving a certain degree of superiority to the teeth-less Pakistani political establishment over it's military. So, in effect the talks are a useless attempt that everyone in the Indian establishment knew ...

    I have said this before and will repeat it yet again, gone are the days of one way street on india’s relations with the us and with russia, there are gains to be had from both, with india pursuing strong relations with both and forging much more stronger relations in times to come. yes there will come testing times when both the us and russia will use pressure tactics on india to follow their stand on certain issues but india after weighing in the pros and cons will slightly tilt on one side and then the other, extract maximum leverage in bargain and then take a neutral stand and move on.

    It might seem in certain corners that india is siding too much with the us, but then there were relations to be built upon when ...

    Recently there has been a high number of visits with W. Asia by India after the London conference on 30th January on Afghanistan. I wanted this thread to highlight a few aspects on India-W. Asia affairs. This includes the mainly Muslim neighborhood of GCC, Iran and Turkey. This bloc is very important for India's future growth and has four main strategic imperatives ...

    1. Indian Airforce

    If you note, india uses 2 seater versions for long range fighters. case in point - our SU 30MKI's and the coming FGFA. there is a good thought behind the rationale. points to be noted -

    1. these a/c's are meant for deep penetration into enemy territory. the rules of the game changes here. one will be up against not only air assets but ground ones too. to evade by way of piloting and out maneur them and in the end take them out is too huge a burden for a single person. dividing it is to make both the men to be ...

    I don’t have an issue with Pakistan seeking parity with us in terms of military hardware and the over all expenditure they do on their military and here I believe bleeding them further economically comes handy and this is something they are doing themselves and not being forced to do, one of the many reasons why the PA is no more than a cancer for Pakistan.

    Take a very simple example, in dollar terms Pakistan’s economy should have shrunk by around 40% in usd terms since ...

    There is a very strong case in favor of having and continuing the upward trajectory of bilateral trade with pakistan.

    India needs to do every thing to move ahead economically because each time we do that the people of our vast country are bound to benefit who in certain cases face abject poverty and the only way to move them out of that is to bring about economic benefits. The trade between India and Pakistan happens through either the west coast or through north via wagha, so there are direct benefits to be had for population residing in these areas, and not only ...

    Vital facts on the Russian T-90 tank deal were suppressed and its performance on the field has been a disaster.
    On August 24 last year, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) dressed up failure as achievement when — almost nine years after India bought the T-90 tank from Russia — the first 10 built-in-India T-90s were ceremonially rolled out of the Heavy Vehicles Factory (HVF) near Chennai.
    No reasons were given for that delay. ...

    For many Indian commentators, especially those on the right, Israel provides an inspiring example of how to deal with external threat. One could equally argue that notwithstanding its comfortable position as the regional hegemon, Israel and its citizens remain insecure, xenophobic and afflicted by a disturbing sense of victimhood. It’s a debate that continues, especially in that country. ...
