AS widely anticipated last month’s meeting between the foreign secretaries of Pakistan and India did little to melt the diplomatic ice. That the officials met at all after a 14-month hiatus was billed by some as progress. In reality the Delhi talks did not even live up to modest expectations of improving the tenor of the bilateral engagement. The atmospherics turned out to be as fraught as the ...

Lanka has never been part of “India”, though Delhi wants it to be included in “India”. The nation exists on its intellectual capital (almost total adult literacy), and by the hard work of its professional work force. It is an island paradise, and the Lankans have fought to keep it that way for centuries.  Bharat wants to take over all the countries that are her neighbors, Lanka is just one of ...

Prime Minster Gilani, President Ahmadinejad, and President Karzai met in Tehran, alone, then in Turkey with all of Afghanistan’s neighbors (sans India) and finally in Lond with 61 other countries (where Delhi got what the Times of India called a second row seat). Pakistan’s Chief of Army staff visited Kabul last week. Mr. Karzai is visiting Islamabad this week. President Ahmadinejad is ...

The Delhi Dud Report video. The delay in Bharati (aka Indian) defense projects is legendary, and puts the “manyana” and “malish” to shame. The CAG Report on Indian duds video. The Bharati defense establishment is more concerned in filling their own pockets and the wallets of the corrupt politicians than manufacturing good equipment for Bharat.

INDIA NEEDS MORE FOR IT’S IMPOVERSHIED THAN SPENDING ON WEAPONS TO KILL Although India has been supporting the forces of separatism especially in Pakistan and Chinese Tibetan regions, yet like the former Soviet Union, it has rapidly been heading towards its downfall.   On the one side, New Delhi which decided 34 percent increase in its defence budget in 2009, and is planning to raise its ...

Tsunamis follow and are created by underwater and underground earthquakes. For the past two decades, US policy has been based on fear, and a reaction to events. Those events overtook long term US policy interests like a tsunami takes over a summer beach. Most analysts of catatonic events had predicted the tsunami–because of the earthquakes that had been happening in the background–below the ...

For the past 39 years politicians and the “Blame Pakistan first” crowd have blamed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto for saying “Humm iddhar tum uddhar” (a quote which has since been refuted as bogus), and blamed the Pakistan Army for the attack on the Mukti Bahni militants on March 23rd as the reason for the creation of Bangladesh.

New Delhi stabbed Iran in the back at the IAEA. Tehran retaliated by cancelling the $6.5 deal with Bharat (aka India). Energy thirsty Bharat desperately wants gas and gasoline. The nearest gas is in Iran. Delhi has signed agreements with Tehran, but Iran won’t sell Bharat the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Ahmedinjad won’t allow Bharat’s ONGC (Oil and Gand Company) to explore gas in Iranian ...

A great dinner, cheap wine, a lot of verbosity could not hide the frigidity of US-Indian relations. The first state dinner was an anomaly–and it wasn’t a “state dinner”, even is the press called it that. State dinners are between heads of states, ceremonial affiairs to have a good time. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is not the head of state of Bharat–he is the Prime Minister. The President ...

THE statements by the Indian Army Chief, General Kapoor, that India could fight a two-front war with Pakistan and China at the same time and end it successfully within 96 hours is highly debateable and contentious. However, it is the mindset behind the statement that has dangerous implications and needs to be given serious consideration by Pakistan.
