An Indian spy in Pakistan
Columnist Farzana Versey critiques the arrest of Madhuri Gupta.
Is it just a fantasy to portray Madhuri Gupta as a hysterically vengeful mole? One has to be particularly naive to believe that spies can compromise a nation’s security, especially in a world of hackers and satellites that can count the number of hair in a politician’s ears. Opinion pieces and reports on the Indian diplomat’s case have been chauvinistic, besides being fairly lame.

Pakistan can make latest missiles and atom bombs BUT NOT CARS ???
@True Muslim Paki: Comment may be understandable if Pakistan were an industrial/engineering power in its own right. Unfortunately, Pakistan couldn't engineer its way out of a paper bag.
IMCG global, the chair, board member need compliment to the availability of Nano to the common people plight, or a substitution of sub-standard CNG rickshaw which is not safe, and designed not to deliver the promised life cycle. Mr. Ratan Tata dream of the plight of the poor people with family children riding motor cycle, with the rider, his wife, and children sitting on the fuel tank, and children in the lap of the mother. The car is a combination of technologies of Indian indiginisation with the world auto maker. For example the electrical system is from Robert Bosch, Germany, Transmission, then body of fiber glass, then battery, suspension, and finally the engine made by Tata which already manufacturers the world fame British fame British cars for exports and local market. The model is very simple. The car is shipped from the factory with the whole kit of body parts, tyres, shell, engine, transmission, which ideally is assembled at the workshop right in front of the owner, and delivered. This actually is glamorised by the CKD industry claiming large chunk of tax relief in the name of industrialisation. This is screw driver industry. All the parts are standard, and the car is a gift to the family who drive and own it.
