I understand what you are saying, but we come from very different viewpoints. Indian history and freedom struggle was based on refusing to keep quiet and using self-sacrifice as a tool for freedom. I have seen the same thing in recent history when people spoke out against Indira Gandhi's...

Bhagat Singh's favorite poetry was from Allama Iqbal and he edited Urdu newspapers (Sardar Bhagat Singh)... And he abandoned religion after witnessing Hindu-Muslim riots. If you can find it in a CD shop, watch the movie Rang de Basanti... a modern take on history and hence easily accessible.

I thought the rule was intended to quell the spread of rumours and riots, not jokes. But even then a 14 year sentence is steep... the worst punishment acceptable would be being called to the station and being shouted at.

You say like it is wrong to stand up for something you believe in ?

Does this list include the PC's that you worked on or only just owned ? I couldn't afford a PC when I was a kid, so I hung around neighbourhood shops etc. Learned programming on an 8088 which in early 90's was "old" and thrown in a corner. Moved up pretty fast when I went to college, had access...

The second reason is more important than the first. Musharraf is ready to take on any sort of interviewer and rarely goes into innuendo or conspiracy theories. He is extremely pragmatic in his positions. No one really wants to talk to the "chief planner of Kargil", they really want to hear...

If you plot the contributors to UN, you'll see that it is inversely correlated with how wealthy a country is and is positively correlated with the population of the country (or size of standing army). USA/Russia and China are much richer than India/Pak/BD, so overall the cost of the life of...

Don't count chickens before they are hatched ?

As a bargaining tactic, I can't understand what Pakistan has to gain by raising Balochistan issue. If India was really interfering in Balochistan and Pakistan wanted action, the right thing would be to bring evidence to international attention or hand over evidence to India and threaten war...

The story is about aliens stealing cows. The messages are something like "It might look like a laughing matter to you", "But it is very serious", "Where is the cow", "India asks the question", "Do aliens drink cow milk too? "

About the Chief Justice's comment -- What are the rules in Pakistan about detaining a suspect ? In India, if you arrest a person, you have to produce the accused in the court within a day and then court can send the accused to remand based on prosecutions request. The accused must be charged...

Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan EDITORIAL: Moving to Indo-Pak détente Indian Prime Minister Mr Manmohan Singh says he has not given up on getting back to normal relations with Pakistan “despite difficulties”. He indicated the extent of the success he had...

But if the plan was real and the story true, why would the intelligence agencies take the story to the press ? Would it not be beneficial for them to just shoot the militants and keep the story secret ? Because just leaking the story actually increases the threat perception, doesn't it ? Now...

Not trying to judge the rightness of the speech, but would that claim work legally ? Isn't the statement borderline sedition/threatening to wage war against the nation ? That would be a crime if Pak constitution is based on the British one like India's is. I agree it might be legitimate...

Actually it is difficult to understand who has to gain from releasing such a story. India won't gain because even if it were entirely true (which I am sure it is not), it still is stupid to leak plans ahead of success. Pakistan does not gain because even a perception that their sites may be...

Oh, and then there is the statement from Manmohan Singh that he did not intend to hurt Zardari. He claims he forgot that press people were standing around. I did not intend to hurt Zardari, says PM: Rediff.com news In a surprise clarification, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that when...

Wonder if this has anything to do with Sikorsky and Tata teaming up to build helicopters in India.

When it comes to work culture, I know some amount of second hand info. A lot of my friends used to / do work for these firms. I'd say ISRO has probably the best work culture. I've been to Sri Harikota and Tumba and found the people pretty professional. (Obviously, I was an outsider, so could...

India delayed 26/11 probe, says Pakistan: Rediff.com news Pakistan on Saturday said the trial of the five accused in the Mumbai terror attack case will get underway next week. "The first step was the investigation, which we have completed successfully. The second step is the trial, which...
