Indonesia: past and present.
It has been a tradition of military excellence and glory since the era of Sailendra, Majapahit, and Independence Against Colonialism. Even today, the Indonesian Armed Forces have successfully controlled insurgencies in sprawling geographical areas under limited technical and financial supports.
Vietnam: current and future
It has been involved in the 2 major wars against the 2 biggest major powers, defeated US, and a short later defeated China's invasion under a Chinese's fake reason of Kmer-China relation. More than 400 tanks of China force were destroyed and (around 250,000 both Chinese and Vietnamese troops dead) in that 1 month war. Chinese casualty claim: 6,900 killed, 15,000 wounded.[3] Western source: 26,000 killed, 37,000 wounded and 420 tanks destroyed (from Wikipedia)
Vietnamese casualty
Western source: 20,000 killed, 32,000 wounded and 185 tanks destroyed[4]
Vietnam claims: 10,000 civilians killed, not figures of military (from Wikipedia)
Recently, Vietnam quickly developed its military industry as well as military hardware. Vietnam is currently acheiving the greatest number of manpower reserves, though lacking of hi-tech equipments. (but weak in economy unable to retain its high cost for maintenance)
Updated info:
- Moreover, recently in 2010, Indonesia and Vietnam wanted to get closer to each other and declared to each other as twin bothers.
- In my opinion, Indonesia and Vietnam plus the support of other ASEAN members together would be able to resist and retrain the aggression or invasion of China into the peace of South-East ASIA and ASIA.
- Other possible strong military in south east Asia: Singapore
However, Singapore owned no resources and automatic be a dependent country to USA and Europe. It did not even have enough land to built a world standard military industry and has not ship building industry.
Singapore is only an economic power in the region and already developed fully.

What did Muslims of subcontinent gain from religio political?
The Results Of Khilafat Movement;
The movement gave a general awareness and created self-confidence among the Muslims. It awakened their sense of political understanding. They started taking parts in the nation politics and also learnt methods of protesting, arranging and holding mass meetings and fighting for their rights. Educated Muslims, students and Ulemas started taking interest in politics. This movement created a number of political workers who later started taking interest in politics and played an important and active role in the Pakistan movement. These workers had direct contact with the masses. Now, they were able to boldly present their demands to the British Government.
The Khilafat Movement gave a boost to Muslim journalism and many important Urdu magazines and newspapers came out voicing the demands of the Muslims. These newspapers and magazines contributed a great deal towards political awakening and advocating their demands of Pakistan.Therefore Khilafat Movement proved to be the forerunner of the Pakistan movement later on

Why do Asian Indians kill their infant daughters?
Where did you learn they do? I never heard this before. I have read of Chinese people doing this but not people in India.
ha ha
well ask me an i will tell u
yes my dear the country, may be progressing
does not like female birth
a girl is considered a burden , a consumer, unlike a son who is a provider, protector
so in areas of Punjab, haryana, rajasthan
small infants are burned, choked, drowned,,,,,,, killed
the sex ratio(no of girls per 100 boys) is as low as 777
in some parts of Punjab, there is a shortage of marriagable girls and women are bought from poorer areas like Bihar and Bengal
the crime son women are high and their status is low
with technology, now infanticide has shifted to fetocide, where in the gender of an unborn child is determined and if found to be female, then the pregnancy is terminated
but don't be mistaken, its the well to do, educated people who indulge in this MORE than the poor and down troden
that my friend is the reality bite
vrinda sharma
I have also heard that they do in fact sell their daughters because they think of them as a burden and will sell them to strangers for money they are kept with at least 15 other 10-14 year old girls in cages!!! like zoo animals its because their poor parents and need the money and they rarely feel any regret and also the males whenever they walk into a house or a store all women must bow to him.
