    Analysis: China vs India — Competition of Civilisations

    MK Gandhi had strong views on everything, but those were just his views. They do not represent what India thinks as a whole. Even his followers did not agree with a lot he said. For example, Gandhi wanted a utopian village-dominated economy in India, and this idea was dumped by his followers in...

    Some of Gautam Buddha's philosophy and thought came from Hindu texts. A lot of Buddhist philosophy and thought got incorporated into Hinduism, and this was one of the reasons that Buddhism as a formal religion did not prosper much in India. There was also some eradication of Buddhism (by...

    Analysis: China vs India — Competition of Civilisations

    Well, for post #82, Gandhi's comments on western civilization were a retort, a witty comment. It does not mean that Gandhi was admitting/commenting that western civilization was no civilization at all. They were meant to get across the point that western hard power was being barbaric in their...

    Which mobile phone/s are you using right now??

    Android is the name of the new game in mobile phones. It has destroyed the nokia smartphone business. You can call it the poor person's iPhone, but it makes sense in India. It has all features at a reasonable cost and we don't have to jailbreak it like the iphone. The interface is still not as...

    In fact Rabindranath Tagore has written and composed two national anthems (India and Bangladesh) and has also had some influence in the national anthem of SriLanka via his student, Ananda Samarakoon. The Srilankan national anthem tune actually sounds like Rabindra Sangeet. Srilanka is also...

    Modern India: A personal experience of a Sri Lankan

    The people who are really money hungry in Chennai are the auto rickshaw drivers. Otherwise it's a fine city with cultured people. You can get to experience the best of Carnatic arts (music and dance), food (Sarvana Bhavan, et al) and also shop for exquisite clothes for women. Although, the city...

    I have one question: Suppose, in a highly hypothetical scenario, an Indian IBG crosses the border into Pakistan and captures territory, and then Pakistan retaliates with a tactical nuke attack on the IBG, within Pakistani territory. Can India justify using a retaliatory nuke attack on...

    India Cannot Become a Modern State

    The mind of a religious bigot has vomited the drivel above. You can write sh*t about all the existing religions on this planet and it's the easiest thing to do. But I thought religious mudslinging was not allowed on this forum. Did the original poster bother to read the stuff posted? Did the OP...

    Pakistan Telecom set to launch new satellite

    @ some of my Indian brethren: Can't we just be happy for Pakistan for this achievement? Congratulations to Pakistan and fingers crossed. I'm sure the Pakistani scientists and technicians would have contributed significantly and also learned a lot from their experienced Chinese counterparts...

    When will our ministers wake up?
