I don’t think you can demarcate like that. The other two major kingdoms at that time were the Palas from Bengal and the Rashtrakutas of the south. . The Gurjara- Pratihara empire was in a constant tussle with the Palas for dominance in the North and their respective strengths waxed and waned...

No such thing, he's reneging on that agreement to try and remain the PM.

Not good news for India, things can only get worse for India Malaysia relations with Mahathir at the helm for the foreseeable future.

Until Israel gives the Palestinians their own country, it’s about as democratic as the apartheid governments of South Africa.

I remember that, he embarrassed the Nepali PM and made the Nepalis resentful. The PM has done many things but his obsession with media coverage has been embarrassing beyond belief. Remember him pulling Mark Zuckerberg out of the way to be on camera? In some ways, he can be incredibly petty.

International relations are hard nosed, imagining that France and Russia aren’t transactional is pointless. The American system is different, so there will always be more voices muttering something or the other but the Russians and the French will only be on our side if we keep forking out...

My itch to defend Pakistanis is legendary..??? :pound: Oh boy! Now I have heard everything.

My understanding of history is fairly decent but this is merely a difference of opinion and you are entitled to your pov. Your belief that the Pakistani soldiers didn’t want to fight is not backed by actual history where Pakistani soldiers fought very hard in many places even when outnumbered...

That’s debatable, there was plenty of pressure on India to agree to an immediate ceasefire and the Soviet Union which had blocked all resolutions at the UNSC had indicated that they won’t be able to continue doing that and that India may need to look at a ceasefire. That’s why the Gen Jacaob’s...

Actual, the first picture has the artist in it, Maj.Gen JFR Jacob flew into Dhaka with just 3000 men at the outskirts of the city and managed to bluff the Pakistanis into an unconditional surrender......if ever there was an example of military chutzpah, that was it.

I havent seen a single interjection by any Mod while members go completely bonkers and abusive. There's a reason BR is a respected forum, decorum there is enforced severely. Some learning might help Personally, I can say that I post a lot less and avoid some subjects completely because I...

Let it go man. You know that it was very different back then and the mental process involved was complicated. If we go by a rigid version, then all the officers in the army till about the mid 1970's were all traitors. Some nuance is required and a better understanding of the complexities...

Unnecessary. What’s done should be done with no fuss involved. Publicising it is both in poor taste and reckless. The more we publicly say that we aren’t like the PA, the more we hold the moral high ground in the minds of our people. These are not inconsequential things, the psychological impact...

He’s talking from experience. Do you believe if what you said was easily doable, the people in the field wouldn’t have tried it already....?

Karna is one of favourite characters from the Mahabharata and did well as far as legacy goes. He’s remembered in terms of his finest qualities and admired far more than Arjuna.

Whatever one may think of Shekhar Gupta now, there is no denying that any his peak, he was one of India’s finest journalists. His reporting from Assam and Punjab are probably among the best we have ever seen. Even if I don’t agree with some of his views these days, I still remain an admirer of...

How does that work? It’s a road, they will rebuild in pretty short time. Won’t work unless it’s something that’s within artillery range, which it isn’t.

Not exactly same but I agree that there are similarities. The difference here is China’s own antagonism towards India, that makes the situation much more dangerous. If Pakistanis continues to get sophisticated handouts from China, there is neither an incentive or interest in bettering relations...

It’s what many here seem not to get. China is both using Pakistan as a sort of testing ground but also giving Pakistan reasonably advanced equipment either free or at well below normal selling prices. The appearance in Pakistan of some reasonably sophisticated radars and anti aircraft defences...
