Re: # 481: "Random quotes from shoddily researched articles in third-rate Indian newspapers, written by dork reporters who may know little or nothing about the technology"

These articles quote India's top brass's public statements. Please research these facts and quotes before you dismiss Mail Today.

Especially investigate the following statement:

"The Mail Today quoted S. Prahlada, chief of the Control Research and Development, DRDO, as saying that development and production of most of the futuristic weapon systems would henceforth be undertaken with foreign collaboration."

I personally know a lot of very smart Indian scientists who are doing ground-breaking research in many parts of the world, including Silicon Valley. But I don't think DRDO can attract or retain such scientists.

aleph...
these Pakis are fighting with India for last 60 years ( directly, jihadi way etc. etc...)...somehow, that has not created any positive outcome for them...now, these people are fighting their own jihadis, who were suppose to scare Indian defence forces...let us see, what

TAhmed, dude, I know YOU watch bollywood movies. Pirated ones too. Shame on your worthless sanctimonious ass. Guess what dude, your asylum process just got harsher. You will also have to visit a hanuman temple and offer a puja. Serve you right!!

Also, I hear you now work for a H1B guy as his cook & chaprasi. I also hear you were rejected for your cab driving license... AGAIN!! Reason cited was senility? Tell me it ain't true dude! You of all people do not deserve it.

If you need help from the brotherhood of Indians to save your ass, please appeal to their mercy dude. They will help you. They are very kind and decent people.

Re: # 481
Aleph...
DRDO is utter falure...There is no difference between other Govt. offices with DRDO...The basic problem with India is Govt. organisations are as inefficient as any other 3rd world county...The amount of investment GoI makes on DRDO, the ROI is very poor...though these Paki illusions are not true (Pakistani reasearch, if anything is there, is comparable with Indian one)...India need urgent privatization of research and development in advanced areas....There is a saying in Indian corporate cirle...India is growing despite Govt. and China is growing due to Govt....Chinese public sectors are as efficient like our private sector...1998 Nuke test and subsequent sacnction has put brake on lot of stuff...NDA Govt. acted like stupid....Now, L & T, Tata and M & M are partnering with EADS, Boeing etc... Situation may improve...But the Govt. have to reform. It looks that Cong. Govt. may come back again to power...then, I can say, the situation may not be that good....

#490 Yes indeed Mr. Madani. Mr. Hussain will Take Mr. Taliban by his beard and hang him upside down from the tree and then teach him meaning of Islam with littar (which is large shoe kind of thing used in panjab for miscreant gentleman, sir).

Mr. Hussain Zindabad!!

Re: # 488 I am surprisingly delighted finally you have understood the social work of Mr.Hussain. Now even sun has sun spots and some times he had made mistakes.
Good day

Hello Mr Madani. Please take over India baby-sitting for me. Please remember to change Mr. AlephNull's diaper when you see too much hot air. Thank very much to you, gentleman Madani.

And now, all together: Bhai Altaf will Kick Taliban Ass!! MQM Zindabad!

Re: # 477
Prof.R.Haq.... I read your blog about investments.
I feel the Morgan Sanley has done injustice on _Pakistan stock market by removing pakistan from developing stock market Index. It has implications for downward pressure on KSE. Are thre laws on which they can be sued for exclusive exclusion ?. Some Pakistani lawyers/ volunteer can look at this factor.
Presently all have lost big amounts on KSE ( in fact all exchanges , usa war on terror has become war on equity markets resulting in destryuction of wealth)

What is your feeling is pipe line from Iran is real thing iran wants to do or just talk ?

I feel they should keepin hold now gas pipeline and Tap and electric grid as it will be just destruction of wealth. Terrorist along electric lines and pipelines will be subjected to blackmail.

You have any suggestion for any particular company shares on KSE which has good potential to make money for short term ( five) years.

It appears KSE is more affected by politics and best way to jump start isto investment in Kse from America.

It appears investment in real terms ie capital goods and services from foreign investors is unlikely.

USA is blackmailing country to allow indian to have access from Pakistan. Is there any good benefit to country by allowing India to have access to a.stan.
Thanks, have good day Prof R.Haq.

And all the airline stewardesses start start Bollywood dancing with joy when they see the Indian HIB come to the airport. And when the Indian HIB speakees hees Arjun Armikan slang, the airport comes to a halt as even the pilots listen in awe.

#482 CoolAl: We Pakis have to hide behind the Indian HIB programmers at airports in order to catch a flight. Everyone knows Pakis arent allowed anywhere near airports because they are terrorists.

Riaz, please leave our incompetent DRDO alone. Their incompetence should make you giddy with happiness.

I am curious, I have so many questions..perhaps you could answer them.

How are you dealing with Air travel in the US? Do they routinely select you for body cavity searches based on your name? Have pilots ever refused to take you on their planes? How are you dealing/coping with all the unfair stereotyping of the faithful? Are you already "Purified" or are a target of "Purification"? Are you aware of the Patriot act and how it has allowed the FBI to legally keep tabs on people like you and Tahmed? Why didn't you cut and run to Canada like Romair did circa 2002? Have Canada closed that loophole?

Whew!!! Finally, "Ab tera kya hoga Riaz?" Where will you run to?

Regards.

RiazHaq (PAW) #470, #475, #477

If those reports are accurate in their particulars it's jolly for you; India is wasting its money to no avail, and will fall ever further behind Pakistan.

Let me give you a friendly tip. The most reliable, accurate and detailed (though still not perfect) reporting on India's nuclear, space and defense technology programs is found in The Hindu [a left-wing newspaper that is often hostile to the government of the day], and particularly in its fortnightly newsmagazine Frontline. Random quotes from shoddily researched articles in third-rate Indian newspapers, written by dork reporters who may know little or nothing about the technology, could give a quite misleading picture. Like Dutch courage, they may improve Pakistani morale in the short term, but that's all they'll do.
