There was no honorable exit as such. After what was a collosal Indian intelligence failure and Indian losses, the introduction of Bofors and the Indian Air Force changed the equation. Pak Air Force didn't get involved - even Nachiketa was shot down by the Pak Army and not Air Force if I remember...

You are right. If one sees American movies you would think USA single handedly won WW2. In reality, Britain was the only one holding out alone with its colonies and later on the USSR. But it doesn't distort the overall picture of what happened.

So decent tactician. Pathetic strategist.

This thread isn't about 9/11. Feel free to open a thread in the appropriate sub forum

Please don't peddle conspiracy theories. It's well proven and even acknowledged by various Govts and officials that Pak citizens and agencies were involved in 26/11. And 9/11 information is also available on proper resources outlining the involvement of Osama.

Can't believe it's been 15 years. I flew our from JFK on 9/9 and then this happened a few years later when I was en route to a pub called Henry Thams which was just a few hundred meters from the Taj. I started getting calls to turn around but I thought it's an exaggeration so I pulled over and...

India has always been reluctant to be in any camp as such and it's alliance with the West works strategically as a win-win. If interests collide, both sides will not be averse to charting their own course while still maintaining a strategic alliance in areas where interests overlap - like...

He has chosen his words carefully. Plausible deniability. @Nilgiri @Afif see the deshbhakt (Akash Bannerjee) video on this. I can't post it here since it's in Hindi

The last thing I expected was an India-Canada diplomatic row. In India, it seems to us that Trudeau is merely catering to his vote bank. If Indian agencies were given a greenlight to carry out a hit, I reckon it is more likely they would have targeted Dawood or Hafiz Saeed in Pak. Would be...

This is all just blowback for their "strategic depth" doctrine. Chickens have come home to roost. Some strategy, some depth.

Bhakts in India have so many false narratives about Nehru - 1. He was Muslim 2. He and Jinnah were cousins 3. He refused UNSC membership

Nonsense. Kennedy was India's friend. But American policy was always for non proliferation.

Lanka has a small population and can rely on India to bail it out. It's population is less than that of NCR. It has a high level of literacy and is actually an excellent tourist destination - I was there a day before the lockdown was announced and had to cut my trip shot. Pakistan has what -...

Suzuki has improved it's India offering by leaps and bounds in terms of features. Now with Bharat NCAP in place, they need to improve safety rating.

There have been many since too. Satyajit Ray, Amartya Sen, Jhumpa Lahiri come to mind.

Was reading about Pak people burning and refusing to pay their electricity bills. So decided to check the exchange rate to the Indian rupee. 1 INR now gets you 3.71 Pkr. Is this the lowest it's ever been?

I have yes. It's on my saved list. Along with another Bengali you may be familiar with.

Seen some snide comments online from Americans and Brits. I guess some things never change.

It's been a long journey. From ISRO transporting rocket parts and satellites on bicycles and bullock carts to reaching the moon.
