There’s been much discussion and debate about our original article about the Top 10 Armies in the World. First written in 2010, we’ve been updating it ever since.
Nearly every country in the world has its own army to protect its interests against internal and external enemies. Most countries like to boast of their military prowess, often claiming to be one of the strongest in the world. Not all can actually back that claim with data and numbers
In an effort to quantify the rankings of the top military forces in the world, we analyzed data on over sixty countries. We based this on the most recent data available at GlobalFirepower. This includes the size of defense budget, number of active military members, tanks and armored vehicles, aircraft and helicopters, and number of naval craft.
Additionally, we considered nuclear capability and recent operations, the latter meaning that the army actually has live combat experience.
We then assigned a weight to each of these components, and finally calculated an overall score for each country. In most places, this differs from the country’s GlobalFirepower rank.
After the calculations were completed, the top ten armies in the world became easily visible as the most powerful militaries in the world.
Most of these armies were involved in the major conflicts of the modern world. Notably, these include World War I, World War II and the Korean War. Additionally, many were involved in conflicts fighting for their own country’s independence.
The Turkish Army dates back more than 2,000 years, though the modern day military branches were founded in 1920. With a force of over 730 and a budget of close to $19 billion, it is solidly in the top ten military powers in the world.
It ranks fourth on the list for tanks and armored vehicles, estimated at just over 11,000. Ground forces are additionally supported by an outsize artillery. Out of the nations on this list, Turkey is currently the only without nuclear capability.
With very few exceptions, military service is required of all male citizens after the age of twenty, contributing to the large force and reserve size. After the U.S. and ahead of France, it is the second largest ground force in NATO.
The Turkish Army was involved in the Korean War, recurrent internal Kurdish conflicts, the division of Cyprus, and recently Syria. Its largest conflict to date, however, was the Turkish Independence War. In this confrontation, it fought Russia, Britain, Greece, France and Italy along its borders. It was one of the few larger powers to remain neutral until almost the end of World War II.
The British Armed Forces were organized in 1661 and have been involved in various conflicts including the Napoleonic Wars, Revolutionary War and both world wars. In fact, only 22 countries in the world were never invaded by British forces.
The British Army has had a significant presence in Northern Ireland and the Balkans. It stood beside the United States in the Gulf War in the 1990s. The army is a powerful force in the ongoing Global War on Terrorism after the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The active duty force of the British military is over 190,000 strong, making it the second largest army in the European Union behind France. The U.K. has a defense budget of over $51 billion annually. Of the top ten military powers, it has the smallest number of active duty members but the fourth-largest budget, behind only the U.S., China, and India.
There are three branches of service. These are the Royal Navy, the British Army proper and the Royal Air Force, also known as RAF.
With nearly 750 aircraft and helicopters and around 5,500 tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, it is a viable force and an unwavering ally of the United States.
The Pakistan Armed Forces were founded in 1947, and comprises three service branches. It succeeded the former British Indian Army after the country gained independence the same year.
Pakistan’s military history includes recurrent conflicts with its bordering neighbors of Afghanistan and India, the Gulf War and Mogadishu, Somalia in the early 90s.
The country is part of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC). As such, it has been active against ISIL and other terrorist groups. Pakistan has also served as an ally to the United States in the Global War on Terrorism. It assisted in the fight against both Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and along its borders.
At the same time, the army maintains close ties with the Chinese military.
This volunteer army consists of an active duty force of over 650,000 personnel. Additional reserve forces are another 550,000 strong. Together, they make the Pakistan Armed Forces into one of the largest armies in the world.
Pakistan’s defense budget is around $11.5 billion. This may be the smallest budget of the top ten military powers, but still far exceeds the defense budget of most other countries around the world.
While on par with U.K. for naval craft, Pakistan boasts several hundred more aircraft and helicopters, over 9,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and a much larger amount of artillery pieces.
Israel maintains a conscript army. It is the only country in the world that requires military service from both male and female citizens with few exceptions.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) were founded in 1948, but trace their roots to several paramilitary organizations active against the British while they held Palestine. Today, the IDF maintains an active duty force of over 170,000. In comparison, its reserves are enormous, evaluated at around 450,000.
Its fleet is fairly small, but the IDF can field considerable airpower and over 13,000 tanks and armored vehicles.
The Israeli military history includes the Arab-Israel War, the Six-Day War and numerous conflicts with Lebanon, the annexed Palestine, and frequent operations against Iran. As a whole, it is one of the most battle-tested armies of the world.
The United States remains one of Israel’s largest and closest allies, giving the IDF preferential access to new military technology. Israel’s defense budget clocks in at fully $20 billion.
Since its struggles during the World Wars, France does no longer enjoy the reputation of a military superpower. These perceptions aside, the numbers tell a different story.
France has a military of over 360,000 strong across the army, navy, air and space force and paramilitary branches. This makes it the largest army in the European Union by numbers. It is unique in letting foreign nationals serve in its forces – in the notorious and elite Foreign Legion. Unusually, the country’s police also form part of the French Armed Forces.
Compared to its one-time hereditary rival, the British Armed Forces, it commands more craft across almost all categories. The exception are some naval classes and artillery pieces. Its budget, however, is smaller than the U.K.’s, at $41 billion.
The North Korean People’s Army was established in 1939 and has an impressive size of more than 1,250,000 soldiers. When reserve unit numbers are added to this, estimates are more than seven million soldiers could be activated if needed. This makes the North Korean forces potentially the largest in the world.
Major conflicts in North Korea’s history are the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Tensions between North and South Korea still exist today. Technically, the conflict is a frozen one – it never officially ended between the two.
Its defense budget, at $1.6 billion, is nominally small. Much of its economy, however, is prepared for military use along a total war doctrine. Additionally, North Korea is a relatively close, though erratic, ally of China.
North Korea has confirmed its nuclear and chemical weapons capability in recent years with threats against various countries. This especially includes the United States, mainly for its alliance with South Korea. Over the last decade, it has also emerged as a cyber-war force to be reckoned with.
The Indian Army’s roots go back, with only minor interruptions, to the Stone Age. Today, it is the largest all-volunteer ground force in the world with nearly 1.5 million active duty soldiers. Reserves make up a force an additional 2 million strong.
India has never had to institute a draft to staff its ground force. The Indian Army – overlapping with the British Indian Army – was active in both world wars. Subsequently, the Indian Armed Forces fought in conflicts for the country’s own independence. Border skirmishes with Pakistan are common in its history.
The Indian military consists of three branches as well as several paramilitary units, and operates on a budget of more than $61 billion. While its aircraft and helicopter as well as tank and armored vehicle numbers rank it solidly in the middle of the list, it has a relatively small naval fleet. India also has more than eighty nuclear warheads in its possession.
Russia has undergone numerous changes throughout its military history. This history dates back all the way to 863. The modern day army – the Russian Ground Force – arose in 1992, following on the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Previous Russian military organizations, including the Red Army, saw combat in regional conflicts, both World Wars and numerous Cold War operations. Before the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was one of two superpowers in the world. By this point, it had surpassed the United States both in terms of the number of soldiers and nuclear weapons.
The Russian Ground Force draws its soldiers through a military draft. In principle, all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 33 serve for a period of 12 months. There are, however, many reasons for exception and deferral, and bribery is common.
Russia currently has over 1.2 million active duty military members and 2 million in reserves. It operates under a comparatively slim budget of more than $48 billion dollars. In terms of finances, only India, China and the U.S. are bigger spenders. Though its air force and ground capabilities are larger than China’s, the latter has been gaining rapidly, and China possesses a larger navy.
Russia also has the largest number of nuclear warheads in the world – nearly 8,000. This stock, though, is aging, and not all of it is combat-ready.
The People’s Liberation Army of China is the largest military in the world in absolute numbers. It numbers nearly 2.2 million soldiers, with a reserve over 500,000 strong. After significant cuts in forces a decade ago, numbers are again increasing.
The Chinese Army arose in 1927. It was active in the Sino-Japanese conflict, World War II, and the Korean and Vietnam wars.
While technically service is a necessity for all men over the age of 18, China has never had to draft soldiers. There have always been more than enough Chinese men who have volunteered for military service to their country.
It has the second largest defense budget, at nearly $240 billion – a full $100 billion more than a decade ago. This corresponds roughly to the combined budget of all previous countries on this list. It also houses nuclear weapons, with estimates putting the number at around 350.
The United States military’s history dates back to 1775, where it arose out of rebel forces fighting the Revolutionary War. With over 1.4 million on active duty, it now has the third largest active duty force ranking behind China and India.
However, the defense budget is what really sets the U.S. apart from all other countries on the list. With a budget of over $750 billion, it exceeds all other military budgets on this list combined by nearly $250 billion, and China’s by over $500 billion.
The U.S. Army and its special forces have participated in every major world war, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, and leads the Global War on Terrorism.
The modern day Army is an all-volunteer force, though drafts have been used for long periods. It maintains numerous permanent posts throughout the United States as well as Germany, Italy, Kosovo, Japan, Korea, and other countries.
Ranking only behind Russia in the total number of warheads, the U.S. has the largest number of active warheads in the world.
The U.S. also has the largest number of aircraft and helicopters by far with just under 14,000. It’s still comfortably ahead of China in the number of tanks and armored vehicles. Its air dominance also shows in its fleet, which is smaller than China’s, but features numerous aircraft carriers and supporting craft.

last message to indians ta so tol nana sara olambai hu hu hu hu ha ha ha[it is in pashto]
us army sucks!
us army is just kids infront of pathans and badly failed in afghistan you know good baby
@ mohsin...ok listen up...am not interested in reading, understanding or even listening to your monkey language. Now let me make somethings clear. Based on your replies I have done a simple analysis and its amazing how your attitude and mindset reflects the mindsets of a vast majority of your people
1. Illogical - Proven by your talking about stones and leaves praying to God to save them from the pak army. Dunno where you pulled that one out from!! Also when you are talking about raising your flag on our soil it really proves your illogical mindset
2. Orthodox and Fanatical - Again proven by talking about inanimate objects praying to God.
3. Zero power of speech - Throughout our conversation I have never seen you write a new line. You have just kept on repeating 3 lines in 10 posts. So that shows the limitations of your vocabulary.
4. Mental limitations - You have repeatedly failed to utter a single coherent sentence plus whatever you talk about is totally unproven and illogical .. so we can see what your mental abilities are. This also amounts to low IQ.
5. Illiteracy - You do not know English which is very clear. You do not know science as you are talking about stones and trees praying, you dont know how to behave in a group(which is actually more of a sociological irregularity)
6. Inferiority Complex - As you people are so insecure about your country I guess it is to be expected. To prove my point, the guy who started this argument is some pakistani called atif at the very top. So you try to overcome thing complex by trying to assert yourself even where it is not needed
7. Hypocritical - Even after your guys are being completely screwed by taliban you still manage to say that you are better.
7.a. In 1947 you instigated and brainwashed kashmiris to fight. We won coz we got more of kashmir than you did. SO sucks to you
7.b In 1965 - You sent forces to infiltrate India to try an insurgency but look at the facts. You failed and my country now is in a much better state than yours. SO sucks to you there too.
7.c In 1971 we intervened in bangladesh as you people were behaving like barbaric chimpanzees. And we succeeded in making it a separate country. SO you failed again.
7.d In 1999 you sent forces to kargil in the hopes that we wouldnt go nuclear since you had nuclear warheads too, but our forces cleared you off, with a huge handicap, that we were at the bottom and you were at the top of the mountain( and there was no way you could come down as you were sitting up their and peeing in your pants). But we still got the results.
Dont try to reason it off with UN. You had china on your side the whole time.
But we got the results every time. And in spite of all this you still manage to say that you have a better army. Boy are you disillusioned!!!
Along with the above there are also a number of smaller psychological barriers like you are unable to think like a grown up, attachment to sadistic behaviors, sodomy etc etc.
Well I am not gonna argue with you any further. We have an old saying in India. "Even if you bury a dog's tail for 12 years it will still remain twisted" Very apt for you people. Keep on your optimistic nature. It will help you when the indian bombs are dropping on your ass and the indian missiles and bullets are whizzing by your ears. Best of luck
you are right i already said that iam not well in studies and listen to me my dear indian you are father of english and i think your english is better than british. its ok now listen to me very very carefullt the son of m***** our national language is urdu only one and we are one and you have alot of national languages and my english is little bit better than your politiations and its enough that you are using bad words for pashto we love our language and our culture
@ Moshin: I had friends from Pakistan when I was in abroad. I find about 70% are pure and similar to Indians. But i cant categorize them as like you people here, who always spoke ignorant. They are pure in nature, in Here from the start, atif, Nabeel etc. Nabeel is good in English and well educated even if he spoke like a typical terrorist attitude, who wants to wash away all who are especially Indians, also towards Russian Americans etc. But allies with china and North Korea, as like Pakistan is a part of china.
China is one of the most outrageous country. Do u know what they are doing in Baltistan? They are one of the cause for Pakistan's today's situation. They are trying to prevent India to be emerged as a big power in Asia, for that they are using PAKISTAN's nature of arrogance and historical hate towards India. So you are using the major shares for developing war heads, not towards the development of common people causing un-stability and low GDP (Check GDP of asian nations & Why?) They help you people to create more nuclear war heads. Why? They want us ( India and pakistan) to be removed by a WAR. They want to control every thing.
Can you imagine a situation of nuclear war? more loses will be for pakistan coz of smaller region, u ll be vanished & India ll go back to 1800 century. China will be super power. Their Invasion towards hongkong, Tibet and now towards assam in India and in aksai chin of kashmir also now @ baltistan in asad kashmir (But ur gvt gave them permision) shame on that, because U are trying to liberate kashmir and ll surrender to those chinese B*******??? so pity on u people who wants a shade of that type of country. Do u know that a lot of Muslims are in China in last revolt nearly 200 died and every thing has been washed away with out any evidence. There no freedom for media, and for people. Is this the way you are trying to work for the freedom of kashmir? I cant under stand why and for what you people are trying to do by this type of worst behaving. Pak Terrorist captured from India with lot of Chinese artillery, Mao-ists in assam also caught with huge amount of same chinese artillery. These all shows they seeks the death of India, One of the tool is pakistan.
But those maniacs wont win, coz i feel u people are bros will understand ONE DAY. Till that day we quarrel like babies. :D
I have been reading your comments a prejudiced approach towards Pakistan and its Army. No one is cleared handed in this world. I would just want you to view the Maoist movement going on in India. It worries all the segments in India including government. IN 22 states movement is gaining momentum. Cross border intrusions started from Indian side since inception of Pakistan. A stigma is extremist Hinduvata movements, Shiv Sinha and similar outfits. Gujrat incident, makkah Masjid blasts, babri Mosque, samjhota Express a long list I can provide you with to pay heed to. Civil Liberties Committees in India are on daily basis trying to drag attention of government towards the minority issues. We are in habit of believing what media tells us. so please stop pointing fingers towards Pakistan.
A sino-indo war has left an impact on mind of Indians. Moreover biased media campaigns about China has molded Indian minds that China does not want India to be tiger of Asia (lolZ).. Ground realities are different. Indian friends would never talk on friendly relations with China but Chinese Prime Minister visits your country, when public skepticism is against China why democratic government does not respect to the public sentiment.
Kashmir is long-lingered issue made politically un-addressed. Six decades and Indian troops are engaged in destroying sanctity of Kashmir and its people. Blames and counter blames is going on for six decades.. India has to get United Nation's Security Council's membership.. solve Kashmir issue.. give kashmiris right to select their own fate. UN resolutions allow kashmir to hold plebiscite; whatever they feel they will select.
However Public forums are not to discuss foreign policies, governments on diplomatic levels negotiate.. so better stop hinting at any structures and organization. Stay in peace and let live others in peace..
Take information in this blog as information...
last line was good and i like it mohsin pathan
I can tell u that I like leftist policies but they wont work. But I dont like Rightist because rights cannot be surrendered under rich. But I felt more towards congress than Communism or any other views related towards religion( BJP, Shivsena[u mentioned b4].. etc ). Said about my view & young generation in India is getting more awared abt that. You cannot give a example of any other country with these much of diversification and religions (Christians,muslims, hindus, sikhs, jews, Buddhas, jainism etc) and acquiring growth this much fast in all aspects (Growth rate 8.9%), thats we cal Unity in diversity.
First internal problem is terrorism from pak side eg, taliban, mujahudeen etc(they have roots in India as another names).
Second is Maoist as u said not in 22 states :D they are strong at north east nearer to china states especially in Bengal (communist gvt) Some sides in Assam. maximum infected states are 4 in numbers. We caught not any pakistani artillery, its Chinese.
Third is Ulfa, their main leader escaped to China. But peace talks finds the solution and sorted it down.
Hindu terrorism is also there. They are trying to pay back in violence. But only 10:2 ratio during 10 years.
Do you know that in 1955 India helped China to get in UN? Check http://lifeearthlife.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/indias-security-council-seat-was-given-up/ We gave them seat what we got as offered. Just b4 1962 indo-sino war we call each other as Bai-Bai (bro-bro). From there they started the war and invaded to Kashmir.
If u don't know pls check. Now u r their bai-bai. In 62 its war, but in 2009 at gilgit-baltistan they acquired with ur gvt support, u haven't object. Past is key to future.
One More thing RUBAB , minority issues in India is negligible, I'm from Minority. I haven't faced any till now and we are more stable in that. Some people caught arrested in case of terrorism and unfortunately 90% are Muslims, but we are not mentioning all Muslims are same. This is falsified like you people to minority crusification. As u said no one hands r clean little percentages have gone wrong in 2 or 3 states, i commit. But your judiciary and gvt is putting more hands in it check this http://4bya.wordpress.com/2010/11/09/a-christian-woman-has-been-sentenced-to-hang-in-pakistan-after-being-convicted-of-defaming-the-prophet-mohammed/ http://www.faithfreedom.org/articles/persecution-by-islam/appeal-to-save-hindus-and-sikhs-and-christians-from-extinction-in-pakistan/ .After Iran largest number of shia Muslims are in India, that is why India support Iran through out the history. I meant no partition or humiliation in the name of religions as u have mentioned. While in 1947 pakistan declared as Muslim country, India haven't declared as Hindu country. India is declared as impartial to it.
You are from Pak-times, I'm a reader of it. Even after cruel attacks in Bombay (200 ordinary people died, kasam, who has been caught is a pak citizen) we maintained peace. You are blaming about the lack of evidences (also in all over your medias ) even the culprit said all the truth. I don't want a debate here in information forum, but see from the top, who starts it? & crossing the limitation on all aspects. I cant even be like dump and duff, a bunch of people attacks and sing the song of lies about my mother land. If my reply hurt any one, i feel sorry abt it especially to nabeel. But be bold in what you are saying and in it at least 80% should be true. If any one read it and think about it, Im satisfied. Then we ll have peace in future!
important thing is this is not feeding from Pakistani media.. I get news and views from India. about Mao movement and Civil Liberties.. first hand knowledge of people comes to me.. I know news where Muslim actors have not been allowed to purchase property in India..
argument and counter-arguments i am not her for it..
Hello!! there are Muslim land developers like prestige.co in India. you probably heard it wrong.
@Rubab
I'm a Muslim and I'm and Indian. I don't know where you got such news but I'm sure it would have happened for some justified reason. I have been living in India from my birth and i'm 27 years old, and I have not witnessed a single Hindu-Muslim fight. All I have heard is of some events in the history or some teenagers fighting in the name of religion. I have dinner at my Hindu friend's place and he is a Brahman (the highest of Hindu classes), and they seem very friendly to me and I own a property too, nobody even questioned me for it. All I know is that in India, it might be Muslim, Hindu, Christian or any other religious group, nobody actually fight among them. we all live with each other quite friendly and the society has no problem with it. I will always prefer India over Pakistan or any other place on earth, because of the equality of opportunity and unbiased law for everybody, especially women empowerment is immense.
So please, if want to compare India and Pakistan army go ahead but don't compare Hindu or Muslim, we lead a better life here, than the Muslims in Pakistan.
dear brother as u born in india but u dont know how many Muslims were killed in indai gujrat even ur indian movies u can watch i am also good friend with Hindus but its not mean u will try to hide the reality what happen incident of babery mosque either u really dont know or either u are ignoring any way try to think over
The pakistan worldest powerfull country in all over the world,,, i want to inform to all indians that you take position for accountability because india have done much cruality on kashmir muslims,
i want to inform of all indian militries and also their population knowingly indian troops should be stop of their cruality because pakistan biggest power will be destroy india and indian,s immorality and must be success for release to kashmir.
Pakistan Zindabad Kashim have our and will be our always indian do try to all one day will be come when kashmir become pakistan.

I respct ur nation but i cant tolerete disrespecting mine
India will get their but wooped if they try to challenge Pakistan to a fight. And plus this is a fact 1 pakistani soldier will win against 100 indian soldiers
lol,
550000 pakistani soldiers cant defeat few terrorist hahaha,,,,, and talk about war with us.
Pakistan is fighting against many nations at the same time to defend itself.
Countries like India, Russia, Amarica, and Israel are fighting to the one and only Pakistan.
But can't defeat Pakistan inshallah untill the last Pakistani is Alive.
Is that the best reply you can think of? India FREED itself from the original British Empire which was the largest and most powerful Empire from the 1650-1900.
Another Nation, China, evened up the war between, North Korean and the UN nations. China, at the time still a developing country, pushed the Americans, Spanish, British, South Korean, Canadians, Australians, and another 18 countries out of North Korea single-handedly
China can defeat Pakistan and India COMBINED easily. With Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Burma and other Chinese allies, the world's future can become uncertain. The UN nation will be forced to use nuclear weapons to defeat such a force.
India attack Pakistan again to show your might, but one step on Chinese Soil, say your bye-byes
pakistan army is been admitted the worlds strongest army on the earth by the all littrate wold.. so its very useless to argue on this topic with u illitrate people
indian are shameless and most of them are shemalesthats way they do not fight with pakistan and not won a single fight
I don't see why you guys are arguing India and Pakistan will not win a major war in which they will get some or all of the others land because all major powers would not, will not allow such a thing to happen without coming in. arguing about the past will not help the battles in the future for your two countries. Khan Nabi your a fucking useless brain, who said Pakistan has the strongest army in the world? The words you were looking for was literate and illiterate. I don't know if english is your first language but you at least learn how to spell that word to prove a point, otherwise it makes you look like a retard, a person who is mentally handicapped.
AZN your comment is plain uneducated North Korea was supported also by Russia who sent equipment and technicians to korea in which the Koreans and Chinese used for that was the best equipment they could have. The 18 other countries who supported south korea only supported them politically. By the way thank you for supporting on of the most evil people on earth and even are still supporting them today I'm truly proud. China could never invade Britain they may be stronger militarily 1v1 but Britain would have every western power backing them, and to invade Britain would require you to move at least a million people there which is a pain in the ass and very expensive. Russia kinda hates China so they are a very uncertain ally to you plus broke and North korea can't really mover their army with much efficiency, Burma unless you pay for their economy will collapse if they tried for a world power. I kinda like your other comment i admit they are unbiased and not idiotic like others who post here
Excuse me, have you ever heard of Gandhi? I'm assuming you haven't since you don't know that he drove the British (who, by the way, conquered so many countries compared to India and Pakistan) out of the India without violence and that is pretty commendable and you think India is shameless? Do you really think shedding blood of humans is a noble act and you shouldn't feel ashamed about it? That really doesn't make any sense.
Well said Suyash, most rational statement I have read. But I think most of you need to wake up and forget about countries fighting each other, it is the terrorists that are the ones to watch, you can't fight a ware against these people because there hidden, they don't fight face to face or on a battle field, they don't care about human life, god help us when they get hold of nuclear weopons from some rogue country that simplifies with their belief to make the world all one religion.
You're calling other people illiterate yet you don't know how to spell it. Wow. You have been to school, right? It certainly doesn't seem like it judging by your spelling...
I like over confident people. it makes my life easy
@faraz get lost Pakistan is a gift of India in 1947 .....If we find it not necessary we will take it back
@ faraz you have typed wrong it would be 1 indian soldiers will win against 100 pakistani soldiers.
ARE NOT YOU AWARE SIKH REGIMENT " SAWA LAKH SE EK LADAUN :" 100000 PAKI ARE EQUAL TO I INDIAN SOLDIER.
Is that so Faraz? Then why didn't the same logic apply when we whooped 2000 Pakis' asses with 120 soldiers at Longewala? :P
HA HA HA!!
Nabeel which world are you talking about? perhaps world of terrorism!
Muhammed is right as he is real Indian and for Nabeel after reading his all article,and he is not agree to accept the reality because of its nature of Pakistan then I can only use words for him that he is such a tipical pakistani who is brainwash against India, Islam has no power to finish any other religious from world but with his own behave islam is finishing him self. There is no any value of any person in islamic country. Hardcore islamic leader can do any thing what they want, they can hang the people including women in public, they can beheading any one because of simple mistake, they can force to killed women because women used to sing and dance in marriage. If some body turn to other religious from islam then they beheading him. We respect our women but they used their women for entertain only and after entertain they used to full covered their women. If their women suppose to do any simple or serious mistake then she have to go for punishment in publicly or privetly, hanging or stoning.
You support terrorism, you support al quiada, you support Taliban, Bin Laden was living in Pakistan with your help but USA killed him under your nose but you can't do anything to USA. You are supporting Daud ebharim, Jaise Mohammad, Lasker a toiba, Mohammad Hafiz.
We believe in democracy because of this we are still waiting for punishment for Azmal Kashab but you think we are a week nation. We challenging you come for a fight any fight treditional fight or nuclear fight promise you this will be last fight for Pakistan and after that world will be thankfull to India to destroyed a terrorist nation.
Our muslim borther who lives in India has better life then other islamic nation. our muslim brother can singly handle Pakistan for their nation.
i being a Pakistani has a strong association with the pak army but the reality is that pak army has no strong record against indian army.in 1965 we remained successful to defend against such a huge army and it was not a small success for us.in 1971 our military commander was not capable and we defeated badly.in cargil, again our military chief did not behave sensibly and our initiation was not proved good.we have made successful operations against terrorists in swaat and it was the toughest operation which is accepted all across the world.we also have a strong intelligence agency ISI.after 1999 it will be a stupidity to initiate war when both the nations have nuclear weapons and you know that nuclear weapons are the most destructive causing mass destruction. i personally do not want any rivalry with india and consider india our bigg brother, as we have a common history spanned over centuries.
guys!!!!!!!!!!!!stop fighting ,w r all humans,we have to respect each other and stop saying queries about other country
anyways india is better in cricket :D
yeah
Hr Hr Mahadev........ I think, we need not to prove that who won. All pak's know that india is a winner but they don't want to accept it..........bs yhi kahuga thoda tym lagega pak ko samjhne me.....MAHADEV
Nice to hear this Hammad.
At last found one Intelligent person among this stupid flock of sheep.
I do know about baburi mosque incident and I never justified it, but do you know about Somanath temple, do you know about Ayodhya Ram temple, do you know about hundreds of Indian temples which were destroyed and looted, hundreds for kings killed trying to defend them and with them lakhs of soldiers and civilians.
If you search the past there are enough reasons to fight for and if you see the future there are enough reasons to stop fighting.
Baburi mosque was built by destroying Ram temple, can you justify that.
Baburi mosque was just a building, what was the need to burn so many Pilgrims on a train for avenging it.
I'm talking about the present situation. People have almost forgotten their differences and are living peacefully except a few crazy minded people who still want to keep fighting over it.
What ever I'm expressing, its about our generation and not about past disasters.
just because Muslim league killed a lot of Hindus and Kashmir Muslims killed Kashmir pundits does it mean that I must hate Muslims. I personally don't hate or like any religion, I'm an atheist.
All the comments above express grudge and not facts.
more over why this religious debates?
this is supposed to be a discussion on weapons and military
hats off to u bro
Hi mohammed,
I m hindu brahmin ( so called highest cast in our religion). I to have muslim friends. I call them home and so they do also call me. We have food and drink at each other home. We don't care which religion people are from as long as they respect others religion. I my self used to go to daha mela a custom in muslim where they have friendly fight and arms display and offer sweets as muslim people do. I am from Nepal in our country we still have 80%hindu but we have decleared our country as secular. We want all people to flourish in our country though we still have some problem and we are working out with it. I had muslim working under me he was fine. My hindu negibor once had muslim cook everything is fine. And needless to say many nepali work in arab country they earn good money but they had many problem there I think arab county should address it.
After all brotherhood should continue to flourish that is bottom line.
@Rubab
Muslim actors are not let to purchase properties in India. HA HA HA HA!!!!
Biggest joke i have ever heard.
Come over to my place in Bangalore, I'l show you Muslims who live in houses bigger and more luxurious than your presidents house.
@Shreyas: That true man! This Guy,Imran Hashmi was once denied a house in mumbai itself...
Its my heartiest desire to all indians as well as all pakistanis that by blaming and disrespecting each other we are doing nothing but are unknowingly fulfilling the agenda of those agencies which always emphasize on the continuous hatred and fight between pakistan & india. there is an official mafia in both the countries which not only encourages our disputes but also patronize most of the disturbing events between both of us. its so an effective, organized and well disciplined hidden "lobby", who is responsible for all those hapennings between both the countries which have so far made us abusing each other. my dears only these are the lobbies who have made kashmir a dispute, only these are the lobbies who have thrown both nations into the fire in freedom movement, in 1948, 1965, 71, 99 etc, only these are the lobbies who did not allow musharraf and wajpai to settle the kashmir dispute forever, only these are the lobbies who always keep on refreshing the fire in both countries either it is the so forth a prolonged terrorism in Pakistan or it is mumbai attacks, babari masjid shahadat, gujrat accidents etc.
Friends here we are the innocent and (I m sorry to say) foolish neighbours who are making one another aware of that who has won how many wars and who has lost how many wars. I m a muslim and it is my unshakable belief that we both nations have not fought only a few wars in our brief history. In fact we daily fight a war together and we both are daily defeated by our third common enemy. And that enemy, that bastard, satin is America. So please we should stop slapping each other and first of all we should overpower this bastard america and israel. Please dont take my words easy. we are playing in the hands of our common enemy. May the Almighty Allah enable us to realize the fact may there be no more fight between us. May our all disputes be settled as soon as possible and may the ruined and wrecked poor of the two countries be turned into the well established citizens. May there be only the rule and law of Allah in both countries, May there be only the rule and law of Eeshwar in both countries, Ameen. Ya Rabbal-aalameen
Mr. Nabeel i know it’s wast of time by commenting on u because u think u r the only knowledgeable person here still i will try in India there are Muslim political parties but that is not very famous in India there are thousand of Muslim officers in our forces have u got officers from other religions in India we never force Muslim girl to Mary a Hindu man but it happens in your country. there is some thing in India that not only Hindu but the Muslims are ready to die for it have you heard about Abdul Hamid. My friend you know very less you think India is a group of country i think you don’t know about Ashoka, maurya samrajya
The shity indians think that the war of 1971 was between india and pakistan.But it was an internal war of pakistan which is called the liberation war of bangladesh.
LOL no. You "internal war" was causing refugees to flee to our country and put pressure on us to feed 'em. So it was our war as much as theirs'. Besides, they were getting slaughtered before we stepped in, and within 14 days we achieved wha the Mukti Bahini couldn't do in a year.
u mean that is a internal war then why refugees come to our nation in millions that means u killed and raped them
No, we came to Bangladesh, and stopped your "brave" army from raping them. AND, we made "Tiger" Niazi surrender, along with 70,000 "brave Pakistani soldiers", and 20,000 other policemen and such.
this is a solid creep.
THEN WHY 90000 OF PAK TROOP SURRENDERED TO INDIAN ARMY AND YOUR PM Mr BHUTTO
REACH SHIMLA WITH PLEA TO RELEASE THEM. IT WAS THE MERCY OF INDIA THAT WE RELEASED THEM UNHARMED.

Arslan
I totally agree with you.
If both countries are one today then there are no terrorism. Which means the country becomes one of the most powerful and best living countries in world.
Jobs propect will increase. Together we can fight corruption.
Indian doctors and engineers are the best in among the world. Top scientist hired in NASA and secret counts sufficient amount of indians and pakis..
Then why people like ATIF, Veena MAlik, And others Are able to servive in india!!
Change your thinking!! there's proverb in english little knowledge is more dangerous!!
*******************************************************************************************************************
None of the Indians THink Like this! I'm from lucknow! and i've never seen such Things in the city of Nawabs!!
Go and spend few days in India! rather than reading Newspaper headlines!!
I used to agree with Benajeer butto's thought but now I've to say that Every pakistani is jealous of India!
We Indians trust On you guys And you guys plant Bombs in INdia!
Don't trust on headlines of newspaper! Spend few days in india ohh i'm sorry you guys will again plant bombs! in our society! And i've seen what Guys do with people who're from india!
ANd 1 more Pakistan is not democretic country!! the guys who helped Us army to find OSama was senteced to jail!! Fuk!!
I'm proud to be an Indian @ least Here every body is treted equally! whether he/she their equal opertunity for every body!
Pakiustan is not a democretic country!! The power is in hands of Army indirectly!!
THE WORD RELIGION IS JUST USED BY CHEAP PEOPLE THERE NOTHING SHIT LIKE RELIGION! HUMANITY COMES FIRST! NOT RELIGION!
Priyesh....Good friend...keep on...
In pakeesee ki band bajate raho...
you are right....
@RUBAB Me also dont waana argue... but As you says Some issues with fu** mao-ists, yeps. This has begun at the time of financial instability( that was the major cause, poverty). But now the things r getting sorting, Indian gvt provide them by rehabilitation and providing gvt jobs. When you collect the news from India you also just look at what I have said. This is how Ulfa group worked with. Processes are above half percent. U don't have the rite to talk abt liberty and freedom, while u compare with Pakistan. Blasphemy laws and lot of liberty der ... LOlzz :D
i would never find myself standing in position where i would hurt someone's emotions.. to get respect is my principle to give respect first.. moreover my liberty starts where your nose ends... instead of becoming antagonistic hold horses, because realizing loopholes in system helps taking corrective measures
I don't compare Pakistan with India, both countries are different...
you are right Rubab
You are wrong Alone,
I just went through the comment Mohammed has posted. Wish you too read it. almost every Muslim actor or actresses are married to a Hindu. We don't bias anyone in the society. Just don't comment crap and untrue information. Its all just rumors and who knows you guys might be the creators of that rumor.
JANI PLEASE GET ALL INFO ABOUT INDIAS VOILATIONSin kashmir
@ rubab: yes , both countries are different. Cant even compare in any aspects. Politics, non-religious, economy growth, independent of any other country with out any ally (pakies now talk lik their father is china!). Now I always felt pity on u. :) Best f luck!
I feel pity for my Paki brothers who are victims of Islam (and not its followers), and also of the false, doctored history, and other text books been taught to them by Islamic terrorists, Pak army, ISI, etc.
Their minds are being deliberately being polluted, and filled with hatred towards India.
Please adopt a more rational, philanthropic attitude, and indulge in your development, rather than false India/Hindu bashing.
India is way ahead of Pak, which is entangled/trapped in its own mess, and heading towards disaster.

your name is beautiful mam :) "RUBAB" I like it
listen to me carefully indian friend my mind is change and i can understand the situation of nuclear war by reading the comments of my mc friend and islam teach me for peace not for war
@ INDIAN:
Are you talking about MC. I am sure you are talking about MC. He definitely needs some help.
(Or are you typing while looking in the mirror?)
Fix your own sh*t before you pointing fingers at others!
good point my friend.indian army is nothing
@ nabeel: i have pointed millions of links about ur in efficiency and ur gay lik nature double games, partiality and 9th worst nation as pakistan and you history of stealing Nuclear tech and ur worst ever seen military and ur losses against great India so try to remove shits from yourself, before to wash out of others. :D
Hmmm... where are the bombs? I dont see them. If you wanted Pakistan guess what a*****, you should have taken it a LONG LONG time ago LOL. you got that 2 billion range POPULATION and we got them 5 MILLION. And guess what your country can get over here and bow down to me like i am your GODD SHIVA!
Then if Pakistan have a very large army . Why aren't they able to stop terrorism from their country
Pakistan has fought and defeated every terrorist group it has faced head-on. We even helped NATO and U.S in their victories.
We have made many sacrifices
But, It takes time to wipe out decades old mess.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/world/asia/28swat.html?_r=2&ref=swatvalley Pakistan Army failed to capture or kill any one of Taliban Commanders. “‘It was very disappointing’, said Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, a senior politician from the region, that none of the commanders had been eliminated. ”
Is this Pak won at SWAT? http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/pakistan/northwest-pakistan/swat_valley/index.html Says- US is not sure about the Taliban losses at SWAT.
Inefficiency of Pak Military or this is a big Game with out d blood of loving ones(Pak army is secret mistress of Taliban haha).
I looked in every other sites and the result was India outranks pakistan
(in numbers only)
I am a Black American and i don't agree with you at ALL. I am a U.S. Soldier...So when i was in Pakist an they took us near the mountains near the taliban forces and India. Well when we were in combat the Pakistan's 32 Regiment Litteraly RAN AFTER them! While the Indians, where in cover! and NONE!!! i repeat! NONE of the paki soldiers got shot. They caught them at least.
What a crap! Dhamakka!
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/world/asia/28swat.html?_r=2&ref=swatvalley See the Above. Pakistan Army failed to capture or kill any one of Taliban Commanders. "'It was very disappointing', said Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, a senior politician from the region, that none of the commanders had been eliminated. "
Is this Pak won at SWAT? http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/pakistan/northwest-pakistan/swat_valley/index.html Says- US is not sure about the Taliban losses at SWAT.
Inefficiency of Pak Military or this is a big Game with out d blood of loving ones(Pak army is secret mistress of Taliban haha). i.e y as you said no one got shot.
It is really amazing that a US soldier speaks in a stupid way about the operations, like a, hide and seek play. "RAN AFTER them! While the Indians, where in cover " etc haha. Is all US marines are like you, Jamal?huh? Then it will be so pathetic about US Marines. Will in US Brain retarded peoples can join Army? :D
I respect any soldier who has enough heart to stand up and fight for his country.
I was US ARMY and I can attest that our training is intense on many levels. I was both mentally and physically exhausted for the duration of my training. I did things I never thought possible in my best condition, but I did them while sleep deprived and under intense pressure.
Some of my fellow soldiers attempted suicide or lost their minds... But for those who persevere, we achieved something that changed us permanently.
Basic training is only the beginning, it sets the foundation of a soldier. After basic training you go strait to AIT(Advanced Individual Training) and that is where you train toward your Mission Of Service(your skill set).
The US ARMY is a group of individuals who specialize, not all of us will use a bayonet, but some will kill men with their bare hands. Some will sit behind a computer screen and fly a drone. Some will laser a target and call in coordinates for artillery strikes. The US ARMY, Marines, Airforce & Navy with their special forces and special weapons are the cutting edge of technology.
I am sure the men of your country are brave, strong and skilled. But the spirit of the United States is more than just one race can have. In the US we are British, Arabic, Israeli, Russian, Chinese, Indian and every race in between.
In all reality there is no reason for us to even be talking about who can beat who up. Think about it... The US & UK are strong allies, so if a dire war breaks loose you have to worry about two of the most formidable forces in the world.
NUMBERS NO LONGER PLAY A ROLL.
That is one of the first things that was explained to me...The US Military does not just accept anyone anymore. You have to past intelligence and skill testing to qualify, and then there is a wait.
Technology wins wars... Seriously, US disabled the defenses of Iraq in one night. Who can compete with that?
Nukes are not a question. NO ONE should have them. US only has nukes because the "bad guys" could get a hold of them...to create a nuclear stale-mate. Seriously, no one knows the full damage one nuke would do to our planet. It's better that none are ever used.
solid prove against indians.all of you must see that and then ask to indians that who is best. 1.india scared from pakistani army 2.india scared from chinnes army
Make love, not war !
excellent james well done

Try to acquire something new, the reality just not from your media, from the international things and politricks. Me also don't like politics in My India but some what better compared.
