hey...my posts aren't that bad, that they are excruciating to read? You make it sound like Guantanamo bay torture...lol

congrats raheel....u're a big gun....:enjoy:

pa ki is not considered as derogatory in Pakistan. Most people do not find it offensive, as they are unaawre of its offensiveness. Paaki mens purity in Urdu. The derogatory nature of the word pa ki comes from its use in the UK, as this was a term of abuse for South Asians in the council...

Security increased near co-ed schools * Model Town SP says police officials met school principals to discuss security plan Staff Report LAHORE: After receiving an intelligence report from the Home Department about possible terrorist attacks at co-educational institutions of the city...

After having read through the entire thread and having contributed to the discussion, I am still at a loss as to why the term Bharti is perceived as an insult by some members. Yes, the usage of this term is not pervalent in Bharat today, yet even the word Bharat is itself not that widely used...

I know the difference between Bharat and bhaarat...both words are from the same root meaning, and both have been used as names...although the more common name is pronounced Bhurut, rather than Bhaarat. You don't need to be around urdu people, since this is a pakistani defence forum, and many...

Yaar, with columnists like the one above, no wonder are country is being thrown to the dogs. This is is the kind of pseudo intellectual that deserves the taliban,and they him. I hope the vice squad knock on his door next. These are the people playing into the hands of criminals and...

let's listen to some sufi kalaam....the power of the music is in the inspirational lyrics. It's about love of one's mother..And God.

kurt cobain....what a loss...killed by that...woman...

I think this is some not so hidden gender prejudice coming to the fore. It's not ok to be called by a name that happens to be a girl's name, while it is ok to call the country a boy's name, in Bharat? Isn't Bharat Maata? Mother India? So what if the word Bharti has multiple uses ? Doesn't...

You're most welcome here to stay...You can introduce yourself in the new members introduction forum so that we can give you a proper welcome.

I am surprised how a brand new member can so authoritatively state that the term is used derogatively on this forum. Or did you create this id just to have a go on this issue? :P

The reason why I am defending use of the word Bharti, is because it is so pervalent in Urdu discourse in Pakistan, and it is used in a very respceftul manner. All newspapers, news bulletins on tv, even diplomats use the term Bharti when adressing 'Indians'. No one has a clue that someone may...

lol...it was said figuratively, since even an imbecile would know that someoen posting on a forum can obviously read... I learnt Devangiri script from one of our relatives who was a headmistress of a school in Lahore, and originally from Lucknow. It is true that most Pakistanis do not...

Alhamdulillah, I do read devangiri...learnt it when I was 12, and even got an A in GCSE Hindi...so please do not make assumptions about people you do not know... Secondly, I was thinking more of a proper HIndi-Hindi dictionary...not a simple online translator..as we all accept, that the word...

I read your post. You simply repeated what had been said earlier in the thread. Yet you did not counter any of the proofs that I presented. And your ludicrous argument that Bharti can be used to denote something 'of India' except a person has no basis in reality. Urdu speakers in both...

IN Hindi, Bharatiya is more widely used, but in Urdu Bharti is used. Open a Hindi dictionary, and if you do not find the word Bharti used for Indian, then I'll accept whatever punishment you advise.

Can you not read? I have given you tonnes of examples of the word Bharti being used in Bharat, by Indians, ..for pete's sake the indian navy is called nau sena bharti.. What mroe do you want? So what if bharti is a girls name? bharat is also a boy's name? or are girls inferiour, or...

I'll let our Bharti Friends in on another secret, since THIS IS a DEFEnce FORUM. What is the official name of the INdian navy?? Any guesses? Drum roll....... roll....roll....nkkaara....nakkara... Nausena BHARTI... oh yes..and below is their official website. Maybe the Bhartis on...
