Yeah, blend on ... I am myself a fan of his Lordship, too. Macaulay is a "blessing in disguise" to his children - I said this much myself previously. To tell you the truth, continue the good work by the good Lord, please. It makes the world safer. The countries who didn't get the "education"...

Hey, hey, buddy. Why get worked up? Have you no idea who the real "Sanchos" are these days?

Let it go, people. This thread has outlived its usefulness. Who is this Robert Southey? I am afraid us peasants/shudra were not schooled by Lord Macaulay's excellent poets ... we got opium ... remember? Now JFK, Gandhi, Obama ... that's more like it. At least it's not Hitler and Stalingrad...

Please, this kinda wording is unbecoming, IMO. He didn't use such words. And Jacky is actually not one of those (you may or may not know what I mean). The truth is that the "top monks"/masters were "let out". Stalin was furious with Mao for being "soft" and for not machine-gunning the whole...

This is getting pointless ... really. Honour is in the eyes of the beholder. And if Jacky beholds himself as quite the "honourable" ... who are others to argue otherwise? Pretty soon it's gonna be "Bhai bhai", "back-stabbing", "we are the best", "they cheated" ... Look, the man even...

So you want me to tell you what a South Indian (granted a Tamil) told me what "North Indians" did to them ... when I was in my ESL class? And you want me to relay what a few North Indians said to me about South Indians over the years? I will give you but one partial example ... I was in high...

Just knew it ... DNA studies! And how is that at variance with what Tiger born in 1986 just wrote? But how? By "humiliation" or "dowry" or "gun powder" or "tribal council"? Yep, DNA studies tell you how ... in the absence of historical reference. Look, Chimps are 99% homologous with...

I am not being snarky ... maybe a little short alright. But how am I going to "enlighten you" about things relayed to me as "personal communications"? Where do you think I heard the word "Dravidian" from? Not from Google I tell you ... You have internet, books, history, and people around...

Having said that, I believe that the PRC mishandled Tibet ... particularly since Mao brought Cultural Revolution there. In fact a "Vatican-in-Lhasa" is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. BTW, we all know that India's North East is not that stable. Ethnically, culturally, and...

I know. But rare is the opportunity that I actually have a bit of time to entertain him.

Nothing, Mr. Observer. Nothing at all.

Actually speaking of "humiliation" as a method of "pacification", rather than "assimilation" (I suppose) - according to Mr. Tiki, the "North Indians" - in terms of what did to South Indians, make the northern Hans look like boy scouts ... But that's a highly inconvenient can of worm, but open...

This is quite possible ... although I am not aware of any "definitive studies" myself. Actually, I would hazard to guess probably the same in India (North to South) - to some extent, but the "assimilation" is likely less pronounced.

I agree that the northern Hans were a bit like (and in fact mixed in) with the proto-Turks (various Tujue tribes) particularly in the hundreds of years after Han and before Tang ... and "naturally" at certain times adhered to "different standards" when it came to "assimilation". Anyways...

Probably more "Persian" than anything else is my guess ...

Weren't you just laughing at the desire of (some) Muslims to unite into a "caliphate"? I am not saying I have any personal position to come down on this "caliphate business" one way or another. But at least you can see why a few of them would ponder such a question - in some degree of open...

Long before your @ss got here, Ahmad (both in this and his previous user name) had railed against inhumane practices ... the whole lot of them. If someone is looking for a display of unbridled "superiority complex" outside of the Custodians' compound, here is a load: "Why are gentiles needed...

It's okay when people believe they are "chosen". Christians and Muslims both do. Both Christians and Muslims have told me at one time or another that I or someone else was going to hell. One time I had an Egyptian Muslim making a point, rather passionately to another, right in front of me...

See what I mean? Why assume that my intention was to make everything easily "understandable"? Perhaps I have a pathological desire to be "cryptic" on occasions that suit my purpose. So I am wasting my time ... But if you don't understand the "message", don't waste yours.

Me sorrie Engleeshie is no me first langege ... Anyways, iPak, if you don't' understand it's a small pity. However, don't assume.
