Just found an updated link. Women-Men will reach gender parity in IT sector by 2010 in India Women are IT

Thanks for the info!! But about the article teaching me - It is very difficult for a non-chinese person to understand the content of the article. Many of the issues mentioned in it are irrelevant (or undiscussed) outside China. On the other hand it skips many things the west would consider as...

I would not be so sure that women are incapable of understanding practical stuff. IT sector in India had about 30% women in 2005 and it is increasing (Ratio of women in IT industry rising steadily) . In voice support (call centers) it is above 50%. Considering that these two sectors are...

Yep. I figured that whole sites were getting blocked (Twitter , Flickr, hotmail etc. if NY times is correct). Maybe things are more complicated than the news site says?

Are you posting from Hong Kong? How is the internet there? Is it blocked or open ?

Nothing is wrong with that except for the fact that Pakistan does not have oil. UAE is for all purposes an oil state. Any state that is rich enough can impose their philosophy on the people, be it Islam, Authoritarianism etc. Pakistan does not have the "something" that will permanently make the...

DAWN.COM | Pakistan | Iran shuts its border with Pakistan QUETTA: Iran has closed its border with Pakistan at Taftan and informed the Pakistani government about its decision. A Pakistani official confirmed on Sunday that the Iranian authorities had closed the border. Iran had closed the...

Astra means arrow. Brahma-Astra is Brahma's arrow.

That is not what the Pak government says. It is clear that Mumbai attack were by Pakistani people. Govt. of Pakistan is claiming that JuD is the one responsible. They (and India, US and EU) have classified JuD as a terrorist organization. The previous govt. under Musharraf also called LeT...

Even if the article is 100% true (which I don't think it is), it still won't mean that India backs TTP or that India is responsible for ISI bombing. All that would show is that India might have a motive to back TTP. But so does Afghanistan, Israel, Iran and many others. Imagine this, you...

That is a pretty strange article. The mining guys seem to say that they do not use RDX, while the author says they do. I have seen a couple of mines down south of India (not the mines these guys are talking about in the article, which from my guess are in Bihar). They use dynamites. The same...

When China and US co-operated against USSR or Vietnam, the relationship was entirely different. Now US and China are as interdependent as an addict and a crack-dealer. US is the consumer and China the producer and world subsidizes all the US imports by buying up US currency. US needs their...

Fortunately or unfortunately, this is true for most parts. Some of this is because of Deng Xiaoping's idea that "China shall never lead", and China being happy to let US or other countries take the lead. That has a strong influence on Chinese voiced opinions. India on the other hand is still...

There is something I have always wondered... I can see how the blacksmiths along Afghan Pak border can manufacture AK 47s. I can also see how the leftover stingers from Afghan war are sometimes still available. But how do these guys manage to collect RDX and other explosives? When a bombing...

There has been atleast one incident when an Indian Muslim attacked London Airport. The accused was raised in Saudi and lived in UK - both of which give the person significant disposable income. 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has a long history. Not a direct answer to your question, but let me elaborate. When India took up its constitution it said that all men are equal and that the State would not discriminate in any way. But it was also clear that Dalits (SC/ST) people were historically oppressed and that they...

Fatal to whom :-)

I've read some pretty interesting studies on the US Social security system and its effect on the population. Some studies say that Social security was the reason for the downfall of American family (old parents don't need children anymore and they don't keep in touch) and some say that it...
