    India Economy + Infra Archive

    It's going to be quite a task to unravel the mess. An AI pilot told me there are 22 Unions within Air India. He also used to give me free upgrades to first class on international routes which I now guess might not happen. If the service of Air Vistara is any indication, we are in for a treat -...

    Modi Govt Must Pay Heed As US ‘Hyphenates’ India & Pakistan

    Modi just met Harris & Biden. I would think the junior state officer is coming to India first to strategize and discuss how to deal with Pak on the visit there. Where India will probably tell them to insist Pak doesn't recognize Taliban and give Americans airspace if not airbases to carry out...

    Modi Govt Must Pay Heed As US ‘Hyphenates’ India & Pakistan

    Interesting opinion piece. Let Biden hyphenate or dehyphenate - fact is Pak is not in the same league as India economically, militarily or strategically. Even France feels shortchanged by the Oz-US submarine deal. That's fine - will all be ironed out.

    Taiwan says dozens of Chinese planes entered defence zone

    Corona Xi is learning this from the playbook of Modi - when internal issues bubble, divert attention to percevied and historical enemies to drum up nationalism.

    (CNN)The raids started after midnight in Xinjiang.

    The offshore secrets of more than 35 current and former presidents revealed in a massive leak

    It's really not worth comparing - as you said the market cap of Indian stock exchange is 75x that of Pak. Pak is like those tin pot African countries.

    Analysis The agonizing problem of Pakistan’s nukes

    To an extent, yes in the sense that it can prevent complete annihilation but not complete military humiliation and defeat as witnessed in the Kargil War fought under the nuclear umbrella where the Pakistanis ran to the Americans to bail them out.

    Analysis The agonizing problem of Pakistan’s nukes

    No one in his or her right mind would give much cred to Pak's military making a dent in any of its endeavors. The concern, as rightly highlighted, is what if nukes fall into the hands of those who are happy to go down in a blaze of glory so they don't care about M.A.D. - they won't even care if...

    Analysis The agonizing problem of Pakistan’s nukes

    American responses change based on the administration in power. You think a GW Bush / Cheney Admin would have withdrawn from Afghanistan even in 2021. If the Americans had said they are staying put in Kabul propping up the Ghani and successor regimes, the Pakistani military/political admin would...
