Malicious Intent...

India's external debt rises yet again to record high of $450 billion

With a measly couple of billion left after debt clearance of gasoline and gas payments and the interests - you should worry about your external debt of 66 billion with 2 or 3 billion of foreign currency left rather than worry about us.

Piling up Foreign debt burden mounting at rapid pace – The Express Tribune

June 15, October 12: One, Operation Zarb-e-Azb has managed to break the back of terrorists and their sponsors. Two, more and more evidence is piling up that the Indian model of economic development is failing. For the record, terrorists and their sponsors have been able to manage only three suicide attacks since the launch of Operation Zarb-e-Azb (on June 15). For the record, civilian fatalities in terrorist violence in Pakistan have dropped from 3,001 in 2013 to 1,332 as of early-October 2014. Over the same period, suicide attacks have gone down from 43 to 18.

Here the author speaks about how PA and GoP is progressing in the fight against terror he adds data to prove his point.......

Across the border, the Indian model of economic development is almost completely dependent on three pillars: call centres, software houses and back-office services.

According to The New York Times: “Structural problems were inherent in India’s unusual model of economic development, which relied on a limited pool of skilled labour rather than an abundant supply of cheap, unskilled, semiliterate labour. This meant that India specialized in call centres, writing software for European companies and providing back-office services for American health insurers and law firms and the like, rather than in a manufacturing model.

“Other economies that have developed successfully – Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and China – relied in their early years on manufacturing, which provided more jobs for the poor.”

Suddenly He shifts his goal post to Indian economy and he is believes that Indian economy is based on call centre, software and back office.... and he compares with taiwan singapore south korea and china.... According to him Singapore economy is based on Manufacturing

Kuldip Nayar sees the “induction of religion in politics”. Subir Sinha of the University of London, in a 927-word article, explained ‘Why India’s new PM may bring disaster to India.’

Arundhati Roy believes that “India’s chosen development model has a genocidal core to it” and that “bloodshed is inherent to this model of development.” According to Arundhati, “now, we have a democratically elected totalitarian government.”

Now here he suddenly changes the track to the new government and its development model and he select the most critical/basher of Modi to prove his point,

India’s latest fiscal picture has a stubborn budgetary deficit that is further crippling the economy. India’s latest trade picture has a current account gap approaching seven percent of GDP. And then there’s the Modi government bent upon throwing away $200 billion for stealth fighters, main battle tanks, backfire bombers, aircraft carriers, frigates and Scorpion submarines. And then there’s India where two out of three Indians earn $2 or less a day.

Here he is worried about Indian spending on defense...... But he forgets how much India spends in terms of % wrt GDP.....

Over the 1994-2014 period, India’s left-wing extremist insurgent militias, the Communist Party of India and other secessionist groups have killed a total of 63,702 civilians and security forces personnel (South Asia Terrorism Portal; Terrorism | South Asia Terrorism Portal

Now here the author goes back to terrorism (which was his first point) and trying to raise how serious a threat moists are for India.....

India’s current matrix comprises a failing model of economic development, a warmongering prime minister, an extremist cabinet, state polls in Maharashtra and Haryana, a new chief of army staff, indigenous terrorism plus pressures from secessionist militias. Lo and behold, the Indian political and military leadership is seeking refuge by rushing into conflict escalation with Pakistan; diversion-cum-deflection, two in one. Our ‘most favoured nation’ is once again up to its old, evil booby traps.

Now here is the author hurriedly trying to link up several different points to prove nothing......

The new web of malicious intents comprises destabilisation of Balochistan, hardening the Afghanistan-based anti-Pakistan platform, fuelling Uncle Sam’s anti-China penchant, planting wild anti-Pakistan conspiracy theories in the global media and taking full advantage of Pakistan’s internal political squabbles. Our ‘most favoured nation’ is once again setting up pincer military manoeuvres to simultaneously threaten our eastern as well as our western flanks.

Now i had to wait till the 10th para to find the "Malicious Intent" which is supposed to be the main point the author wanted to talk (i assume that because that is the heading of his article)..... Now here our man is trying to pluck some points from here and there and try to make a point.....

Modi is on a short fuse-and that means further conflict escalation. United we stand, divided we fall. Someone intelligent intelligently cautioned to be “beware of all enterprises that are on a short fuse.”

Now our author is trying to bash Modi........

Just realised i wasted my 10 minutes on analysing this article....

Just realised i wasted my 10 minutes on analysing this beautifully written article....

Unfortunately, the fossilized thinking as shown by this article remains pervasive throughout the Pakistani decision making apparatus, and is emblematic of a deep crisis of understanding of the true nature of Pakistan's real challenges.

 

[PoKeMon]

A highly uneducated article which is based on the premise that India economy solely lies with IT which is merely 100 billion dollar industry that's too ever rising.

And saying that operation zarb e azb is all what pak need, is laughable.

What exactly is he trying to talk about ? I want my 5 minutes back

Codswallop!

The title of the article seems apt. It is a bunch of lies written with "malicious intent".

How exactly the state polls in Maharashtra and Haryana and a new army staff become an example of India's failing model of economic development??

There is a difference. The Indian public does not as such care for Kashmir. It does not occupy mind space of Indians unless there is something massive happening. It is generally relegated to the background. Neither do the Indians feel that they constantly need to chest thump and show gratitude to the Army.

For Pakistanis, Pakistan Army is the sole source of pride and Kashmir represents an open wound. It is a crowd puller there...has mindshare of the populace.

Consequently, the ability to use or misuse Kashmir for internal use is limited in India compared to Pakistan.

WRONG assumption.

Kashmir had never been a crowd puller but usual political rallies by "a" political party not even a bunch of parties.

On the other hand the LoC more than anything to do with Kashmir has everything to do with Pakistan for Indians.

The recent massive unprovoked shelling and killing of more than 30 civilians by Indian army across Pakistani Kashmir hints at Modi's crowd pulling mindset viz a viz cashing on and hiding behind anti-Pakistan sentiments of Indians.

Since Indian hardliners were expecting that Modi will be a monster for Muslims and Pakistan and will pull a war like stunt either attacking Pakistan or going for surgical strikes but Nothing like was smelled by them when he become PM. This was damaging his political image as well among fundamentalist Hindu groups and crowd so he had to bail it out by doing something like shelling across Pakistan at LoC.

35 Pakistani civilians dead and here are you happy Indians thats what it is so far

How nice?

I then wonder as to why S&P upgraded India's two year economic outlook to "Stable" from "Negative" just last week.

And I wonder how defying the logic and conclusion of Mr. Saleem, India has crossed the mark of 2 trilion dollars.

BTW the lie of faiure of Indian economic policy is beleived by some pakistani members here too.

WRONG assumption.

The reality is Pakistani authoriteis want to divert attention of people from domestic issues and what could be better way than keep situation on the LOC tense.

 

[IND151]

The whole cease fire violations is for -

1) Pakistan's attention seeking endeavor from India for talks bcoz of the cold shoulder given by India.

2) take away attention from Pakistan's internal mess.

3) Kashmir has been put on cold storage by India plus there is a strategy to handle it internally - try and revive it and bring it international attention - hence the running to the UN constantly.

4) Push in terrorists before the winter snow and for the upcoming Kashmir elections.

The flare up is because Indian forces have been given a free hand.

We don't have any internal issues that would necessitate for Indian establishment to make it take it's people's attention off from. In fact, we need the Indian people to focus more towards internal issues at the moment.

Well put explanation.

These firings happen every year, but it seems this year they are more intense and the reasons are obvious.

India’s latest trade picture has a current account gap approaching seven percent of GDP.

Sept. 1, 2014 11:16 a.m. ET
MUMBAI—India's current-account deficit narrowed sharply in the last quarter as exports rebounded and government restrictions on the import of gold helped improve India's trade balance.

The deficit thinned to $7.8 billion, or 1.7% of gross domestic product, in the three months ended June 30, the Reserve Bank of India said Monday. That is sharply lower than the $21.8 billion deficit a year earlier.

Lol this article.
It seems the author wrote this while he was sleeping .
In 1990 GoI gave a lot for development of IT.Now we are important player in that.And it is not a call service.It is software exporting.We dont need more push on that sector.
That is why GoI pressing and making policy for manufacturing after 2010 and Narendra Modi govt is energised it.Within 2 decades we can see magnificent results .

Nope.
This Farrukh Saleem was high on cocaine when he conjured up this utterly disjointed, gerrymandering, filibustering piece of $***. Where hops about (on one leg) from
Reminds us of Hacq's A-Musings that get dumped so often on this forum. Exactly like a goat who nibbles here, chews there and then litters droppings all over the country-side.
Wonder from where @fatman17 dug this "paen of peculiar penmanship" out of?
Maybe fatman truly wanted to amuse us a bit................ what with all depressing news of the bullets flying across the LOC.
But it begs the question: do such clowns like Saleem really get a readership in Paksitan?

Yes you are missing something! Farrukh Saleem's gross illiteracy about what he wants to write about.........

You won't understand....That requires a special type of brains that are not available this side of the border....

And the funny guy like Farrukh Saleem who has been endowed by Allah with it, is it?
