This is by no means over, at best this is an Interlude. The Chinese may not have got what they want this time but you can be certain they will be back and in force. We have had the Americans completely supporting us this time, maybe the Chinese will wait to see the result of the American...

It’s actually interesting that you mention the Rashtrakutas. There is something very interesting to be learnt from the way Govinda III, one of the greatest of the Rashtrakutas emperors, especially militarily, dealt with an imminent threat. The Gurjara Pratihara King Nagabhatta was militarily...

Even if Biden becomes President, he would take office only on Jan 20, 2021.

Two questions Did the reported landslide that supposedly took a lot of Chinese soldiers down happen? Was the Chinese position on the banks tenable with the river having supposedly swollen up?

We didn’t have money for more Rafales before, we certainly don’t have it now.. We also will have to look at buying American whenever we decide to, simply because we enjoy huge trade surplus with them and they can really deliver quickly. Had we signed a deal with the Americans in 2016, they would...

I’m not sure what exactly we are all in a position to definitively say on this. It’s not about where the Chinese start their pullback, it’s about where they end it and where we end up in our positions. Only then will we know what has happened.

Nope. She was before that time.

Don’t worry too much, most defence journalists have an understanding with the government/forces on what they can and cannot mention. Even now, there are many stories that aren’t being told, many actions and activities that don’t get spoken off in spite of being in partial knowledge of some...

I have refrained for the most part in any extreme criticism of Modi and this government because it only serves to vitiate the conversation in these circumstances. My thoughts on this China infatuation and blinkered approach are there in my posts for everyone to see throughout my time here. Lets...

I suppose this is something to congratulate thought the fact that we imported Rs.21000 crores with of equipment from China in a year suggests incredible stupidity on the part of the government for allowing it to happen

Ease off man, this has got very tiring, page after page. Best to let somethings go.

First we would need money for any of these, the "babus" cant do much about that...the whole rigmarole is because of that. No money means you play the push the file around game. Army doesn't help matters saying weight problem, this problem, that problem etc....all the more reason to purchase...

Kind of interesting how some chaps all newly joined keep posting about how super duper China is, how they are leaders in inter galactic weapons and all. Others, also newly joined, like the posts (some older members too get caught in) . There are others who go about being more nuanced but...

HAL is reportedly doing the fleecing. I’m sorry but I really don’t care unless HAL is handing out all that money to a 3rd party, I.e. Russia. If the bulk of the money “fleeced” remains with HAL, we shouldn’t really bother. Comes to the government kitty, either directly or by HAL utilising it for...

While it's true that his campaign has put out those points, Biden himself has been pro India mostly and very close to Indian Americans. We have to be nuanced in reading some of the comments, thet are coming from Sanders/left nutters along with the muslim community that Biden has been forced...

National security has been cited as a reason, that pretty much cooks Tiktok’s goose. Very limited legal remedies available. There has to be a government decision to repeal the ban, unlikely in the short term anyways.

The assumption that the Chinese cannot sustain their presence through the winter is probably misplaced. They are doing precisely that in Doklam and you can be sure they will do all they can to build the necessary infrastructure to sustain their presence in this place. The only way they will...

Guess that s that then for tiktok users......
