I have re-pinned this thread given PRC (given its population) is arguably the largest changing relationship for India of long term consequence. ============== Would like interested members to comment (if they have any on the following): Both guests make excellent points...well worth...

3 Threads have been merged on P-75I. I will pin this thread for easy reference given it seems to be hot topic lately in news/analysis.

An apt reminder w.r.t the talibunny barbaric degeneracy known to entire world. Their "fanboys" are interesting bunch whenever Talibunnys or other degenerate extremists are in the convo/debate. On a hunch here (not pointing fingers at anyone specific).... Western origin flag, claims to be...

Bro, you have made your point with political favouritism of posters (and larger set of folks sharing their view) w.r.t strict rule of law and the whataboutism excuses that come out inevitably to dilute and/or justify. It is nothing new in human nature. I have circled this tree many times among...

When is Turkish budget each year?

Till we have specifics (if they are ever released), I would assume some collab between big 3 (CBI, NIA and RAW) since there are both foreign and local intersections here.

Shan area has always been a buffer zone historically along with neighbouring Yunnan (between Burma and China proper). I believe @Saithan has visited Yunnan. IIRC, Invasions of Burma by China (to help allied-Thailand out in a number of instances when it was in turn being invaded by Burma)...

Yes as a good Nair friend has often told me, part and parcel of clamping down on the martial arts/warfare schools too. It is good to see you around here again Joe, you have been missed by many.

I just found this fascinating thread, I hope you guys keep updating to it.....very nice read. You are correct there are curved swords found inside India that predated Islamic influence but these were different to talwar and shamshir which come via persian+islamic influence. What I think...

It was me that edited it out (it and later replies to it violated forum rules). I do not like to edit member's posts...but I feel keeping it deleted loses what the rest of the post/convo had for context of a later reader (as much as I may agree/disagree with its contents). I agree with your...

Some replies have been restored (with edits), some will stay deleted. Please do better next time folks. Thread unlocked.

Yes its easier route to sustain a current account deficit (a balm to slow various high fever signalling by the currency)....rather than do the hard reform as to why the deficit is there. i.e the govt "trust" in each other intervenes above what the market is doing by itself. Similar to "easy"...

Note: In CE-20 no more vernier thrusters are used, rather the rocket nozzle is gimballed to provide the requisite delta-T corrections.

Real legends:

ALH (mkIII) induction continues at pace, this time coastguard:

Bro, our establishment was terrible and now they are just a bit better (or the same) than that worst time. Hence there is huge missed opportunity with many initial ToT. HDW blacklisted (209/sishumar) and Bofors blacklisted come to mind for example for the 80s/90s...instead of making rules more...

I have had a busy few days lately (and so some thread activity was not nipped in bud like it otherwise should have). But don't think that is cause to bait--counterbait, troll-countertroll and flame-counterflame with no regard for the forum rules which you all know by now. This thread is locked...
