Muradk, we have not interacted, and I am not your friend (not really) but let me answer that. As background, my father was an IA general, so I have some (old) second hand knowledge of and (first hand) respect for the Indian AND Pakistani Army. One of my oldest memories as a 5/6 year old is...

Thanks for your answer. Simple question - But how do you know that the tank (and the differentiation) was not created by Muslims? After all, even today in rural Pakistan, Christians are not allowed to drink water from the same well as 'purer' Muslim Pakistanis. Or am I wrong? Look I do not...

Not sure where you're going with this when a non -Muslim man, particularly a Hindu, making love to a Muslim woman is not only banned in the very DNA of your religion, it is deeply abhorrent at an unsurpassed level to even the educated ones among you.

Quoted so that people realize what we're dealing with, and never forget it.

Please show a little respect in a thread devoted to the death of a great general.

You have got to be kidding me. I know she's a brave young lady, but the prize ideally should go to someone who has worked in the field for a period of time. This would just be gimmickry. But hey, they gave it to Obama a few years ago and that was as gimmicky as it gets.

So Arundhati Roy is a valorous individual. Fine, got no problem with that. Just want to point that that those who support that view cannot deny that so are Asma Jahangir and Marvi Sirmed - great, corageous and upright ladies.

Wow I did not realize he had lived to such a ripe old age. This man was one of the most successful generals of the 20th century and, as OP puts it, a legend. A legend in the true sense of the word, not the way it's commonly used these days.

Utter nonsense. He was the classic revolutionary and developing thinker, a calibre and type that comes very rarely. Interesting. You are a credit to Islam.

One, I seriously think Zaid Hamid is a little unbalanced. If not a lot unbalanced. Two, until someone can bring conclusive proof that Indira Gandhi actually said the '1000 year Muslim rule' thing, Hamid is also a liar. Three, Lol, at OP's claim that Hamid is 'taking on an Indian Major...

I think we should fight extremism with passion, and give no quarter. But if you want to fight the enemy by becoming a replica, you've lost the battle. Allow more Hindu fundamentalism and - politics being what it is- the respected and erudite Hindu scholars will not become our national leaders...

All interesting POVs but we're in danger of getting into a long discussion which I'm not that enthusiastic about, inherently lazy as I am. So I will keep it short. Ok. IMO, politics is the art of the possible. "Aggressive alien faiths' is a dangerous and unpractical road to go down, unless...

Possibly. My best guess would be to say - wait and see. I have some (indirect) insight into national level politics. The BJP has appointed him as the PM candidate because of cold electoral calculations. If he fails to deliver, they will get rid of him faster than you can say 'faster'. I...

He's a very able administrator. He has bought impressive business progress to Gujarat. However impressive his accomplishment, his PR is even better, beyond (IMO) his actual accomplishments. His FB page, for example, was supposed to be run by a team of 10-15 people (not sure about the exact...

The religious element, the overtones of discrimination.

What's there to like?

Don't like his politics.

I won't be voting for him.

Why ask for a separate outlet, just request the TTP to give RAW a table and chair in their Islamabad office.... :lol: But seriously, I can admire Khan because he's taking a stance with which most of his vocal and literate supporters vehemently disagree. How many leaders can one recall doing...

What a load of faeces. Are these authors illiterate, or just too simple to even get a good narrative going? Can't they even bother to lie well? Or is their audience composed of simpletons? Let's see: No one in India would think or talk like this. Utter nonsense imagined by a fifth...
