    India India - China Relations

    It was the building/expansion of infra that played its role in China determining to make some scene/issue in the window earlier rather than later. It will just constrain them now more and more for them moving forward as India expands infra in the area. India wont stop what its doing and...

    The first dictatorship - Pakistan 1948-1958.

    Well you have to remember they are upstream folks. They had lived most of their lives in a system where there was no state founded on religious-majoritarianism + partition. I made good friend with a Lahori during my earlier tenure in PDF....and I could see he still have huge amount of the...

    Karachi, Sindh - Pakistan's achilles heel?

    Well I am a foreigner. Though I have indulged in some local-groupthink for the sake of it (esp to bash on some other groupthink mobs, to better understand how groupthink mechanics works in the region, having been largely removed from it much to Joe's bemusement)....the emperor's new clothes...

    The first dictatorship - Pakistan 1948-1958.

    I understand...thats why I said there is large difference (and hindsight is 20/20)....but still there is stuff to take on board. What exactly prevented Pakistan from going secular route even after partitioning on islamic-majoritarianism principle? Jinnah himself had noted secular credentials...

    The first dictatorship - Pakistan 1948-1958.

    Well I still think its relevant in a hindsight 20/20 way. I know its very different...but Turkey also had something of a violent turbulent partition from ottoman era to republic of turkey era (Shedding all manner of land and populations by both internal and external pressures and wars). But...

    India Economy + Infra Archive

    Yeah, though I think enough people finally understand now what scale is needed to pull off a 10% niche supply chain grab now (by big upfront incentive etc), given India has the market cap leverage now to harness and sink in (unlike before and it did the wishy washy, invest and then we will...

    The first dictatorship - Pakistan 1948-1958.

    Timestamp ~ 10.30 talks about this part, fleshes it out etc Whole video is a good watch (might need putting aside any animus with hoodbhoy on other issues etc, and listen to whole thing, he brings up lot of good, poignant points overall) You see if you do not set up the ideology, founding...

    Might time well this decade with: https://www.cnet.com/news/report-biden-to-order-review-of-semiconductor-supply-chain/ The Biden administration is set to launch a comprehensive review of critical supply chains, including semiconductors, high-capacity batteries, rare-earth metals and medical...

    India police: 3 police, 3 rebels killed in Kashmir fighting

    Tbh given what happened/happening in syria/iraq/yemen etc recently and ongoing (vis-a-vis arab solidarity).... "arabnews" credibility (w.r.t "rebels" etc) would be similar to a chinese news group credibility on some issue in the world right after/during nanjing 1937. I mean who were the rebels...

    Indonesia Indonesian Air Force, Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Udara (TNI-AU)

    Nope, Russians are well behind in this with their cumbersome SAP-14 pod and derivatives (use older 80s-90s version of DRFM tech still, and are noisy as hell opening up adversary option for ECCM) India for example found them quite deficient (for MKI) and went with local design for RWR and...
