Pakistani@, is that the Bengali MM Alam of the PAF that you refer to? Apart from infantile infra dig, what relevance has he to an air show almost 50 years (in September) after his claim to have used his mastery of "deflection" shooting in the F-86 to make him an "ace" in one sortie? Indian bloggers could then remind you of 1971. All kids stuff. Let Dawn bask in plaudits from its Indian readers with you taking your "deflection" shots.

@Zak dawn is a great news site and it's good for them that Indians come here. You should be happy that a Pakistani newspaper is popular among Indians, don't be jealous. There are a lot of Pakistanis on Indian news sites too, but abviously there are more Indians in the world so that probably makes people like you insecure

When I was looking at these pictures my mind innocently went into feeling proud moment. I was actually picturing (not sure if that's a word) pre independence time, not that I have seen it but we all have got a fair idea from Bollywood and those fast running black and white videos.
Back in time, firang people used to sit like Modi is sitting and our people will do their acrobats, tricks, dance or whatever to entertain them and get some money. Today I see a lot of firang companies (Before it was East India Company only haa) doing the same acrobats in sky for us. Time surely changes if you dream about it and if your nation tries for it.
They same something like this .."Tabiyat se ek pathar to uthal ke dekho...something something.. " Jago Pakistan Youth.

@Zak "This is the real India".
Thank you Zak. Till now, India had Congress politicians and leadership that would deliberately stop indigenous production for fighter planes for huge kickbacks running into hundreds of crores.
Everyone can see that satellites and delivery vehicles that progressed ingenuously by Indian research (due to western sanctions) resulting in quality export orders and a successful Mars orbiter. So when nationalist government like Modi's (or AAP from Kejriwal in future) orders private public participation to kickstart make-in-India, enemies of India ought to be really scared. All the very best. India is following Iqbal's "Khudi ko kar bulund itna...". China is reaping fruits of indigenization in the eighties, India has finally woken up now. Rogue armies beware.

Hilarious to see some Indians commenting that Dawn belongs to subcontinent not Pakistan. Nice to see some Pakistanis welcoming Indian readers to share Dawn. Much nicer to see people fighting over Dawn than the usual stuff. Long live Dawn!!!
