"Broke away"?? It was liberated. Took a fortnight despite American assistance to Pakistan. Pakistan Army showed it was kinda the polar opposite of the Ukrainian Army. Didn't bother defending own territory. Just gave up half their country in a fortnight.

Greivances in India aren't separatist in nature except in some pockets in the North East. To exploit any grievances, you need resources. To deploy resources, you need money. Pakistan is nearly bankrupt. No one cares whether separatist Baloch or Sindhis like India. It is irrelevant.

What triggered. Sindhis and Balochis have genuine grievances. And if we exploit them, it's a win win.

We did bail out the East Pakistanis when it was a genuine humanitarian crisis. I say let them continue on this course - we can then liberate Sindhudesh if required and then we can have easy access to liberating Balochistan as well.

Extremely commendable. Gopinath has truly turned the sport around in India.

You are right and I've heard about these. Perhaps I should have been clearer. Modi Govt publicly acknowledged what it did and drew the line in the sand.

Actually, they just drew a line in the sand. You cross it and there will be payback. Under MMS, they considered bombing Muridke and under Vajpayee also they considered crossing the LoC but didn't because of Pak's constant nuclear blackmail of things spiralling out of control. Good thing that...

One of the Prime Minster Narendra Modi’s greatest successes was in handling cross-border terrorism and the finesse with which the Balakot aerial strike was conceived and implemented which “blew away the myth of Pakistan’s nuclear blackmail”, writes National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who was...

Its a good idea. Let me explore it and pitch it to some Chinese investors.

It's possible she is a trainee who has to learn being on the shop floor as part of being in the management, but it didn't seem so. I say scrap the administrative services and privatize everything.

I was at a Decathlon sporting store last week to pick up shoes and clothes for my kid. I got talking to the salesgirl - she had an MBA in Sports Management and had played sport at the national level for her state and here she was working as a salesgirl in a sporting goods stores - this job would...

China will still dictate terms to Pak. For all practical purposes, that's the only country consistently giving financial and diplomatic support to Pak. Turkey and Malaysia will not support Pak all the time and neither of them holds a permanent Security Council seat.

All I can say is that this once again underlines that Pak has 0 democratic cred. No PM ever serves out full term. There is always some kind of Armed Forces engineered coup.

Indeed

Regarding Tamils in Lanka - from the few conversations I've had with Lankan Tamils - the LTTE had almost 100% of the Lankan Tamils - they were very driven by the idea of the Tamil Eelam irrespective of gender, age and socioeconomic status. The only exception was what the Lankans call "Indian...

What happened in the erstwhile Kingdom before independence has no bearing on the Republic. The Republic of India can't be held responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre or hanging Bhagat Singh. The Kingdom of J&K thru Maharaja was a British protectorate.

Yes. It's a pure agenda push, nothing else. The sense of outrage is understandable - visuals are a powerful medium. What's not kosher is the Govt. endorsing it and using state machinery to push its agenda.

I sincerely doubt it. The masses knew something was amiss and that Pandits were forced to leave the valley. That the Pandits were forced to carry "Kashmir banega Pakistan" signs and chant them, that muezzins blared from mosques asking them to leave or convert, that watches were set to Pakistan...

I don't agree to any such thing. But you of course are entitled to your beliefs.
