    India US Relations

    Storing website data in India is very easy, just host the website on an Indian server. However sensitive data should never be on public servers. This is a task which government can handle easily. Data in facebook twitter etc is another matter.

    India US Relations

    See there is an issue. For example youtube is an American company bound by US laws. Same with facebook. Even data of this website may be on some USA server. Unless India has local apps, the benefit of storing data locally is not really there. For example Flipkart and Reliance Retail can store...

    The linked article says: China exploded a nuclear bomb in 1984 on Pakistan's behalf. Quite a revelation there. China has been a bigger contributor to Pakistan's nuclear and missile program as compared to USA. This is a fact.

    India can hypothetically create a large nuclear force; but that is not appropriate for our level of development or our national goals. It is not possible that USA can stifle our local programs due to LSA. There is simply no connection.

    LSA at this time hardly means anything. It will be occasional port visits or one or two airports will be open for refueling. There is no big change. People are imagining things far out of proportion. As I said, the government will not sign anything that is against national interests. I really...

    India US Relations

    I think India is neither an enemy nor a friend of USA. Buying arms is not a sign of true friendship. Kissinger's quotation should be applied to Pakistan. I would prefer a workable relationship with China and so avoid a conflict with china. But the problem is Chinese have already decided that...

    India US Relations

    You need strength to fight a strong enemy. It takes time for a nation to gain strength. May be it was better that the nation stayed united. But whatever it is today, is not bad, considering the situation before independence. The work is to make it strong. Pakistan is bound to fail sooner or...

    No it was not artificial. Even today you will find that Hindus are absolutely uncomfortable living in a Muslim-majority town. If India has difficulty focussing outside South Asia, that is due to socialism brought about by Nehru and Gandhi family. It is bottlenecks in production that hamper India.

    There is a view that there is no point proceeding with AMCA until LCA Mark-2 becomes operational. There are still many tech areas where we are lacking in 4th gen. Aiming for 5th gen is a jump that our tech-industrial complex may not be able to deliver. We need to fill the gap for next 15 years...

    Pakistan's story is more complicated than mere UK creation. There was deep distrust between Hindus and Muslims due to which a single State was difficult. I have met people who have argued that creation of Pakistan is very good for India. Hindus lack unity and Pakistan has been one of strong...

    US does not sell critical tech to Paki. Remember nuclear bomb and missiles are given by China not US. F-16 and AH1H do not change the equation too much. Conventional weapons are limited in effect. Countering paki's conventional weapons is not difficult for India. I think US influence in...

    If India grows at 7-8%, its economy will be about 6T in 2031. US economy will be about 20T. So it does not seem to catch up. One line of US fighters does not mean that all fighters will be imported from US. India was looking for a western fighter for a long time. It could have happened for...

    Well sometimes short term goals trump long term goals. Even I would say long term goals are hazy. No one can say Indian leaders are clear about long term goals. Challenging US hegemony is not a stated goal of any Indian leader. Never heard that. Even non-aligned movement is dead. India has...

    We do not want confrontation with China. There is no certainty such a confrontation will happen. India-USA axis is not feasible. USA is in NATO and we are not in NATO. We are not even non-NATO major ally like Pakistan. So we are at best a friendly nation with some common goals. I have serious...

    India US Relations

    Military must be applied against those countries who fail to uphold civilizational values of human dignity and justice. I am afraid the biggest culprit today is a country called Saudi Arabia. Military applied for money or suppressing other cultures is "adharma" or behaviour of "rakshas"...
