In the latest budget, the FDI limit was increased to 100 percent, but most foreign companies are not buying such large stakes in the Indian insurance sector.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
rolling on the floor laughing. no country is a saint when it comes to its own self interest and biases. Be it whit supremacy – islamic supremacy – hindu supremacy.
The irony of this article is tbat this is not an arcticle but the words of an insecure Indian and his love for an insecure petty India that has spent billions since 2010 to spread misinformation against any positive spin on Pakistan.
The USA played a big gamble to dump Pakistan and promote India. The policy to contain China blinkered the USA who completely forgot that if it were not for Pakistan, the USA hegemony in the region and Middle East would have faded a long time ago and the world would have been split between The Soviets and Anglo Atlantic Alliance. The demise of The Soviets would have been replaced with the demise of the USA in 1989.
The USA presence in Asia and unabated influence in The Middle East is largely due to its long partnership with Pakistan a key ally during the cold war. The USA fundamentally misjudged how they must influence and remain integral in the Eurasian triangle and even in Zbigniew Brzezinskis book The Grand Chessboard which was the blueprint for The US Neoconservatives it described Pakistan as the “lynchpin” to a Eurasian strategy to retain its economic and military prestige for another 100 years. Unfortunately the Neoconservatives and in their think tank Project of New American Century (PNAC) looked to take a third world back water country called India with little to no historical ties with the region to become their new ally to contain China. Agreed, the Neocons had assessed Pakistans close proxomity to China but people can share the cake but with India it was to take the cake literally. India failed in Afghanistan, failed to dismember Pakistan through a multibillion dollar funded terror network our of Afghanistan and most of all India could not replace China as the 2nd largest economic power.
Indian like a lap dog created devastating ripples across the region and was neither strategic nor tactical but was 100% Pakistan Centric.
So today we see the rise of China and once again the emergence of Pakistan as kingmaker because of her historic, geographic, ethnic, cultural a d religous links across the region. The Obama presidency was a dark cloud for Pakistan and bloody with drone strikes killing thousands of innocent Pakistani civilians. Biden’s mantra under Obama to “Do More” and combined CIA and RAW nexus to malign, humiliate Pakistan at every forum did the worst conceivable damage to Pakistan more so than the neoconservatives.
Today Pakistan is West Asia and is pivotal in an integrated prosperous central Asia thanks to the Chinese OBR and CPEC industrialisation programme the largest the world has ever since, exceeding the Marshall Plan post World War II.
America can no longer bully Pakistan and India can no longer hide behind an American umbrella.
Yes Pakistan is Kashmir centric because Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan. Kashmiris by virtue of ethnicity, culture, geography, language, history and religion is the kith and kin of each and every Pakistani. As the heir of the Indus Valley Civilisation and Mighty Mughal Empire it has co existed with the mighty Chinese Civilisation for thousands of years.
The Atlantic Council laid out the correct course of action I call it “you can have a slice of the cake too” strategy as opposed to “taking the cake” or “whole cake”. Today alliances will need to built on economic blocks and progression not archaic puppet governments.
The USA can gain much by investing in Pakistan and benefiting from the industrialisation and economic superiority of China. The days of a sole Superpower and Economic Power is fast coming to an end. New emerging powers and economies are alliances and fed up with American trail of blood death and destruction, shot gun diplomacy.
China is the biggest economy and continues to grow. Pakistan has become the jugular vein of China and the single most important supply chain in the world.
The USA should shift manufacturing to Pakistan both technologial and industrial including motor vehicles. Pakistani labour is cheap and strong. Pakistan is a youthful population and connects the world to China through what will be the most soohisticated modern supply chain. This connection begins in Gwader. Gwa is balochi to the Arabic Hawa or air. Der comes from the balochi word for doorway, the entrypoint into the Chinese Pakistan Economic Corridor that takes you in the shortest possoble route to China.
The USA and Europe has a great opportunity to invest in the banking, tourism, travel, technology and manufacturing industry in Pakistan. Pakistan is akin to Dubai 2 decades ago and is a large land mass and a larfe population with the worlds largest deep sea port.
Invest in areas that US and Europe has a distinct advantage.
Pakistan also is a treaure trove of rare minerals, gas, oil, gold, coal and iron but I think USA may have lost that boat to China.
USA has only itself to blame for losing respecr in Pakistan and while the GW Bush Jnr presidency was a departure from the comd war diplomacy between the two allies they did continue to see Pakistan as strategic. The Obama presidency led by Biden was the wirse diplomacy between to key cold war allies that is now irreversible but new economic ties can be forged.
Pakistan is a unique country the more you try to understand it, the more you realise its geopolitical importance. It is a blessed land that has seen every major empires walked through the landof the Indus Valley from Kashmir to Karachi or one day Gwader. You can not subdue this nation and its people under the barrel of a gun.
To win back Pakistan it is high time the world recongise this hidden gem and wonder. Invest in Pakistan and reduce your manufacturing and access to a rich raw product market in Pakistan and its supply chain into mainland China. You will not be able ti subdue Pakistan or treat it as your inferior. You may “feel” like you have subdued the Pakistanis but lewrn from history, Pakistan does what is right for Pakistan.
Pakistanis were ince loved by Americans and visa vi and Biden during Obama presidency destroyed that through the global false narrative and demonistaion of this great nation and good people.
The reality is the USA actually needs to pay a debt of gratitude to this great nation.
India has been at the center of terrorism in the region for decades. In 1971 it trained, supplied and financed the Mukhti Bahni terrorist organization in East Pakistan against Pakistan. In 1980s along with Soviet KGB and Aghan Khad, it planted bombs inside Pakistan and killed hundreds of innocent people. NOw it is committing terrorism in Balochistan.
“Pakistan is really redundant”
Perhaps like other Indians, Mr Tara Kartha is still unaware of recent Naval exercises in Karachi.
In which, as many as 45 countries participated in the Aman exercise this year with their warships, aircrafts and special operation forces. This included all major world powers except India.
US-Pakistan is a ***Bilateral*** relationship and there is no scope for a third party to interject – surely an Indian would understand this key principle repeated by Indians ad nauseam. Do you think Pakistan navy is feeling isolated?
Yes, US is keeping a blind on India but they know that India supports over dozen terrorist groups form Afghanistan and some militant groups inside Pakistan.
Pakistan think tank is fixated on two things – kashmir and islam. but from what is seen on the social media the common man seems more enchanted with india. India’s policy towards pakistan should take advantage of this dochotomy.
What a honour from such a learned scholar to spare five minutes?
US always wants someone else to fight their war. Proxy war? Pakistan is the only one available now even if it is untrustworthy. It will stop body bags coming back to the US.

So who is redundant and isolated now!
Let’s the games begin.
Only an Indian can write this nonsense from lens of India.
India will come back into senses when America gets broke from covid-19
US-Pakistan is a ***Bilateral*** relationship and there is no scope for a third party to interject – surely an Indian would understand this key principle repeated by Indians ad nauseam. Do you think Pakistan navy is feeling isolated?
Yes, US is keeping a blind on India but they know that India supports over dozen terrorist groups form Afghanistan and some militant groups inside Pakistan.
This policy is driven by Indian Americans who are ultra left and ultra white.
Apologist for fundamental tribalism.
These utopian vultures will be threat to India national security threat.
India needs to speed up the lobbying with conservative Republicans and Democrats who hold significant sway on the various committees.
Pakistan think tank is fixated on two things – kashmir and islam. but from what is seen on the social media the common man seems more enchanted with india. India’s policy towards pakistan should take advantage of this dochotomy.
The common Man…whatever is that?
just lost my five important minutes while reading this nonsense opinion
What a honour from such a learned scholar to spare five minutes?
US always wants someone else to fight their war. Proxy war? Pakistan is the only one available now even if it is untrustworthy. It will stop body bags coming back to the US.
