Conducting or not conducting elections especially when own territory is under occupation/facing war directly is not hallmark in of itself of democracy functioning or not. The UK under Churchill's war cabinet delayed elections till 1945 when the war result was ascertained. There were provisions...

I could indeed get into a huge amount on this topic alone....before they are specifically put into its contours and context for India (or China, West and then other parts of world I am not so up to speed on from the personal experience and reflection angle). A) What are the great flaws (as...

Glad to see you here dada. You seem to have finally left the ruckus of the other spot (doing its transitions/migrations now in weird ways). This forum is pure troll-free zone and things are quieter + professional as possible only. Yes this part of the CY3 mission was "unexpected" to us...

Yes its why I qualified it with principled. If there are little to no principles (especially applied rather than just stated), any vision is hollow and hypocritical. I myself am a strange hybrid (in my thinking and lived experience) of Indian, Chinese and Western. In each of these, there are...

You are a stargate fan out of interest? I grew up watching SG-1 around high school/uni , Atlantis was a good continuation arc too all things considered. They ruined SGU a bit too much for my liking (it started off ok, then lost its way). In BC (where I visit fairly frequently) where they...

The US has reason to support Morocco on these matters over Algeria. I think most members understand why (if you look at Algeria's main partners in world geopolitics compared to Morocco). Morocco also occupies very strategic coastline and chokepoint of gibraltar alongside its large phosphate...

I dont think a 9 lives thing applies to countries the size of Pakistan, there's in the end too many people vested in it and exposed to the better ideas and success of other places, that they want to see in Pakistan too. Now how those entrenched in keeping bad ideas make way for this group of...

Jansher Khan was one I know best, he was in Hong Kong a lot (place I grew up) winning the HK open a lot. I know the squash centre there quite well, its inside the big building next to star ferry I walked through a lot (once I got to see the amphitheatre organ up close which is one of the largest...

Nice to see you here old chap. What are your thoughts on Atif Mian and Uzair Yunus? Which commentators do you follow these days (if any)?

I mentioned both you and Joe earlier in this forum number of times to Afif....when I felt points needed expanding and you two really are some of the best to do it I know. He will now see much fruit for his patience in waiting for you guys to re-appear and re-establish nicely here again :)

Like Yasar has explained, it depends on the temperature faced by the hydrocarbon (whatever it is, they are all C-H combos) in presence of oxygen. If the stochiometric mix is perfect, you will only ever see a blue flame, like that you see of a bunsen burner (when you swivel the air duct)....and...

It sometimes helps to look at conflict analysis elsewhere in world and then return back to the subcontinent to look at things again. It was a Tanzanian friend of mine for example who explained the tutsi-hutu conflict likely never would have gained real momentum, had the Belgians not invaded...
