    Analysis The agonizing problem of Pakistan’s nukes

    Good to know some people are 'agonizing'. As far as the risk of them falling into Taliban hands is about in equal measure as Indian nukes might fall in the Hindutva extremists like RSS or American nukes falling into hands of far right militia;s and such radical groups as QAnon crazies like the...

    Apology for the error. \ Work began on the new capital in Delhi. British architects, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker were assigned the work. They chose the southern plains beyond the old walled city of Shahajanabad as their site. In sharp contrast to the old walled city, the new...

    Defence Q&A Is the US or China the world’s economic superpower?

    People are too obsessed with the idea of young population. While it is true that a bulge at the bottom can provide vibrancy but it's increasingly not as relevant. We live in interesting times and are at the cusp of another era - post information age where robotics/AI will be the buzzword. Here...

    Over 100 Chinese troops entered 5 km into India.

    The British made a mistake in 1921 when they built the new capital at New Delhi and moved from Calcutta [Kolkatta] - I guess that must have looked like a good idea at the time. Most of the design was done by Sir Edward Lutyens who was architect of repute in Britain at the time. So His...

    Defence Q&A Is the US or China the world’s economic superpower?

    USA is numero uno in 2021. But the trend points to one fact. China is rising fast and will pip USA by 2031. Nobody can doubt that this century will see emergence of China as a hyperpower.

    NOTE: This event happened about four weeks ago. However it would appear that Indian Army and government deliberatly hid this from the public. It was leaked to the media few days ago. Note the time stamp on the report is 28th September 2021. This is important news on two levels. The bravado and...

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    I did. It clearly states India is No.1 at recieving alms from USA. Of course if you want to go by per capita then Israel comes way at the top followed by Egypt, South Korea etc. Pakistan does not come at the top by either measure, yet your very quick to point fingers. Assertion is not...

One of the results is some of the large oil companies have had shortage of drivers. Not a huge shortage but still...
