As of today, Taklamakan Desert has been completely surrounded by man-made green belt to halt any further desertification. The green belt is 3,046km long and was built over 40 years.
Forestation of Taklamakan can be accelerated if they reroute the Brahmaputra inland. Oh wait..
It's funny how Jai Hinds keep boasting about India's chess achievements (it's pretty lousy for a 1.4B country that puts so much effort into it while Armenia has only 3M people). Yet their leadership strategy and geopolitics play is rather bad. It seems tone-deaf and when other countries go against them, they somehow don't understand why.
Jai Hinds don't understand the concept of innovation. Like when Tamerlane innovated chess by adding his own pieces and simultaneously annihilated Delhi, an event which Indians are still bitter about.
do you think India could be divided without Arabs and US military power. UK was not in position to say no.
Saudi are very generous, sophisticated and polite. They are not going to tell on your face what they actually did nor not did.
In April 1940, within a month of the passage of the Lahore Resolution, Crown Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud visited Karachi. He was warmly welcomed by towering Muslim League figures including M.A.H. Ispahani, M.A. Maniar, and Karim Bhai Ibrahim. He was accompanied by a large delegation, including his five brothers. Two of them, Prince Faisal and Prince Fahd, were to become the future kings of Saudi Arabia.
Who the hell are these guys? Towering figures? Lol. Ispahani was ambassador to US. Other two are unknown. The actual towering figures, Jinnah, Bogra, Suhrawardy clearly didn't show up to the welcoming.
Meanwhile, the bedouin Arabs of UAE, whom the superpower Saudis couldn't prevent from breaking away, had to learn how to fly and lease aircraft from Pakistan.
On 25 October 1985, Emirates operated its first flight from to and , using the Airbus B4 and the both wet-leased from .
I still haven't received a proper answer to the question of why Arabs were so weak to prevent a nonsense fracturing of the state. UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen, Saudis.. all Arabs, same culture, same religion, same language, same values, yet... smashed and broken up the British.
