Indian diplomacy certainly looks to have come off age. There are mainly five countries where Pakistan seeks economic, diplomatic and strategic patronage, namely the usa, the prc and with in the Islamic world the ksa, turkey and iran, and through these countries they have tried to push their agenda on Kashmir in the past but not anymore, and if anything the end of cold war era has certainly come as a baggage of loads of opportunities for us that we have certainly not

It’s a little difficult to answer this question in a simple yes or a no. Tried answering this quite a few times in the past and each time I have had a newer out look to the evolving situation, and will try and present a new angle this time as well which will revolve around a united Pakistan where in we weaken the power structure so that they eventually adhere to our demands.
What are the objectives that we want either way to be achieved through Pakistan? The answers

At present Israel is the most important strategic partner of India. It has already replaced France to acquire the second position as a defense equipments supplier and believed to be the number one in future replacing Russia too. We wonder what makes this tiny nation so successful in sophisticated technological arena. Israel is admired world wide for the quality and reliability of their defense products and that is even by the so called enemies.
But here, I am trying to draw your attention to a less known area of Israel’s growth. That is agriculture. How many of us even know how Israel is performing in Agriculture. With little knowledge of

Well for this dismal state of affairs in india i can point my fingre at 3 things
1. lack of incentives : Yes as ludicrous as it sounds it is true , there is so much money in defence but none of that money gets to the developers , for example in the west if some brilliant mind develops a weapon that is ground breaking , there are a ton of companies that would want to hire him, but thats not so

First, I completely agree with you in regards to India's unique achievement in pioneering this model of an increasingly liberalizing market economy in the backdrop of a liberal democracy.
However, I disagree with you in deeming Das' article relevant now. Das has put forth many compelling arguments in India Unbound, however this projection was faulty. He wrote this essay when consumed by the ecstasy of the percieved boundless potential of the IT revolution in the post Y2K euphoria. Later experiences

I believe India is here to stay for a long time say 500yrs. Pakistan's existance I believe is an aberration similar to the existance of Naxals, Khalistanis, ULFA...etc. The only difference is that while India was independent when the Naxals, Khalistanis..etc came into being. If two-nation theory was proposed in Independent India would it succeed? It wouldnt. Pakistan would not have become a reality. Pakistan was allowed to be formed by Brits who were ruling us unjustly anyway. The mere presence of Naxals, Khalistanis, ULFA and other secessionist groups makes India vulnerable, ...
While the hunt is on for the Maoists, one after another bad news coming in. Rarely we see any success story against the Maoist elements. But death toll of civilians and security personals is on rise. Now it is time to rethink whether there is any way of success the way things are moving on. In my opinion government is making a grave mistake by not allowing army to take care of the situation. State police force, CRPF without any training of jungle warfare are becoming soft target of Maoist guerrillas . ...

In 1961, the Indian Air Force decided to purchase the Mig-21 fighter aircraft after the Soviet Union offered India full transfer of technology and license for local assembly. In 1964, it became the first supersonic aircraft in Indian aircraft inventory which entered service in 1963. The Mig-21 was used in all subsequent wars against Pakistan with great success. However, by 1988, IAF had hundreds of Mig-21s in service and many were

the story runs much deeper, as was reflected in another article based on how the gang of prominent three zaid hamid, shireen mazari, and ahmed querashi (there are certainly more names there) have been used to propagate the theme the pak army wants their country people to listen to, with the aim of paralyzing the democratic setup, which then either be made to do the business by way of strings in the hands of pak army, which is
