This is profoundly sad. Life is cheap in South Asia. If only these countries spent more on healthcare, education, sanitation, ecology and access to potable water than concentrating on egoistically buying weapons to annihilate each other - they would realize what their founding leaders aspired...
It’s unfortunately true that most democratic institutions have eroded under the current regime. Including giving the Chief Election Commissioner some kind of immunity for his/her actions. However the chickens are coming home to roost for Modi and his Bhakts. The tide has turned in the last few...
Operation Rajiv (June 1987): The Assault on Quaid Post & The Highest Combat Engagement in History
While Operation Meghdoot (1984) established India’s initial presence on the Siachen Glacier, the most critical single tactical engagement of the conflict occurred three years later during...
Overview & Strategic Context
In the early 1980s, the Siachen Glacier in the Karakoram range became a major flashpoint. Vague cartographic definitions in the 1949 Karachi Agreement and the 1972 Simla Agreement defined the Line of Control only up to point NJ9842, stating it ran "thence north to...
On X and social media, I see lots of chatter on 1965 war. Meanwhile from Pak’s SEATO CENTO ally - USA CIA

The 1965 Airborne Fiasco: How Pakistani SSG Commandos Were Captured by Punjab Farmers, Police, and NCC Cadets
On the night of September 6–7, 1965, the Special Services Group (SSG) of the Pakistan Army launched a clandestine airborne operation code-named to target three major Indian Air Force...
Pakistan Air Force has released an AI generated video claiming it struck 32 Airbases in India and includes hits in the vicinity of Presidential Palace.
Of course, none of it happened. And is probably in response to a Discovery documentary highlighting footage of India striking multiple targets...
I guess India is currently not sharing data and has decided to start work on intra basin transfer of waters. Was reading that the Pak establishment is frothing at the mouth. Shame, they could just handover Dawood and Hafiz Saeed and few other terrorists and India would likely cancel the abeyance...
of course India supported the Northern Alliance since the days of Ahmad Masoud. And helped the Karzai regime. How they got it in their heads that India would risk all its political capital by cozying upto the current regime is anyone’s guess after a few shots of tequila.
We don’t have a dog in...
The chickens are coming home to roost for Pak. Weren’t they cheering when the democratic and progressive Afghan regime was toppled? Now women aren’t allowed to go to schools there. Karma for Pak
Bangladesh is now officially out of the World Cup, replaced by Scotland. Fairly silly the entire thing. Probably will affect Bangladesh hosting ICC events in the future
Umm. My source was ESPNcricinfo. Your source was a twitter account. I wonder which any rational mind would consider a better source for news.
Agreed to your point - there was no need to throw the sole Bangladeshi in the IPL out of the competition to please some andhbhakts. And that too only...

As it is, it’s not as if Bangladesh is going to win anything of note - may beat Italy at most and has a chance against Nepal. Would be better for...
Dhaka:
Hindus in Bangladesh's troubled capital Dhaka in an exclusive conversation with NDTV's Ankit Tyagi, who is at ground zero, narrated the horrors they faced and concerns they have as attacks on them by radical Islamists, a majority of them encouraged by the Jamaat-e-Islami, rise.
"They...
