Okay this is a hypothetical thread of "what if" that I think would be instructive to those not too well acquainted with the dynamic that exists within the Pakistan and India conflicts. I open this because many people have a habit of going for sound bites that hide or even distort the reality...

Honestly, as you might know I am not really read up on military tech but I have been reading Indian reports about all sort of fancy stuff including sci-fic tech from Israel. Then Feb 2019 happens. Indians lost one plane shot down, one Su-30 down and they managed to in the fog of war shoot down...

Listen Nilgiri, you keep throwing these numbers and talking of how big India is. We all know that. In less than three years India will be the largest country on earth where almost 20% of humanity will live. So I know that this fact alone will churn out dazzling figures. But going to the...

I am not sufficiently qualified but this looks like bad news for Pakistan. In Feb 2019 tangle between India and Pakistan the PAF came out on top by shooting down and capturing a Indian pilot. But wonder if this was to happen again would India, given it's recent purchase of Rafale mean Pakistan...

Dunno if this is relevant. https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/pakistan-still-interested-in-t129-acquisition/142596.article

One thing you guys can bet on. Because of the danger from India, a country with nearly 7 times population of Pakistan* going forward the armed forces will recieve primary importance and investment. This is notr a country that in 20 years will have a token military. Rest assured the military will...

Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that an examination of the past was very important for a nation to progress and emphasised the value of future generations knowing about their history. The prime minister was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the Al-Beruni Radius heritage trail at...

Well, you got your smile of the day.

Most of you guys on the younger side but I grew up during the Cold War. The amazing thing was then Muslims were generally speaking looked on in positive light. I was young teenager in late 1970s early 1980s. Other than few die hard catholic types I never faced the issues you see today that...

Yes, very true. I first came across it probably late 1990s and I have been avid reader since at least late 1970s. I think it was first coined in America and then has been adopted in rest of the West.

Ahh so you have been exposed to them. I don't think they are bad people. It's just cultural thing possibly Russian influence. Quite opposite of Pakistani people who will open arms and hospitality or "mehmanawzi" is vital part of the social life of the people.

My reply was with referance to religion which a poster mentioned [Judeo-Christian civilization] and also touched genetics. The previous post already built up on what I said so it requires no more elaboration on my part. To place Kazaks, Hungarians in the same genetic cluster needs prescription...

As a sidenote I have been to Alma Aty in Kazakstan. The thing that struck me about Central Asians [other than Tajiks who are Persian people] is the Russian and Chinese influence. Most speak Russian. Chinese economic presence is very strong and growing. Moscow continues to have huge political...

I would have to agree with you that I can't see Hungarian's leaving European identity for a Turkic one, particularly as they are embeded deep within Central Europe. Even genetic linkage with trans Ural or Central Asian ancestry is weak and probably below 5%. Even a person with 95% European...

I must admit I struggle to hold my laughter everytime I come across this myth "Judeo-Christian civilization" as you pointed out that teeny weeny event not long ago wiped out nearly 70% of Euroopean Jews. So I struggle to see how the Christian part of this combo which nearly wiped out the Judeo...

Interesting, mature and well reasoned analysis by Indian expert on the Pakistan military. Some points he makes - Pakistan has never lost on the western theatre [Pakistan mainland] ~ 14:55 If we [India] had beaten Pakistan decisively like we say then the cease fire line/line of control would...

Ahhh aha they are a good people even if prone too much fatty foods, alcohol etc. But on a serious note the driver behind the Scots for independance is two factors - the feeling that oil and gas resources of North Sea would by large measure go to them and they could be the Arabs of the north...

I am curious what has PDF got to do with discussion in hand. I get banned by PDf every week but all that says is about PDF. I can't use PDF as a way of informing the universe. PDF is just a bubble whose demography does not even reflect Pakistan.

Well it's 2020 and they are now recieving informed education from the Indian Army. They really ar enjoying exposure in what is widely described as "open prison".
