However, when I started gelling with the fabrication of this city, I came across some very prominent manifests. For instance:In ... Read More

Yes, China is spying on India through different mobile apps that many of the Chinese mobile phone manufacturers offer on the phones they sell in India. It's easy to anticipate how the Chinese government would have reacted if such malicious applications were sourced from Indian mobile phone companies operating in China.

The reason is that the colonizer (Netherlands) itself was conquered by another colonial power, France, during the ... Read More

That might seem criminal to us since we do everything possible to appear as an international law-abiding nation but for the Chinese, it is just an expression of their aspiration to be the leading nation in the world. Coming to the question - the Chinese are checking out Indian response to this blatant violation of international river-sharing laws. It's a serious challenge and the Indian ... Read More

Intriguingly again, both these unified nations are peninsulas where the division of either country took place in the northern half of their landmass. Continuing the intrigue, both these nations share borders with China, which has developed "special" relationships with both these breakaway rogue ... Read More
