Sorry, edited. I could have sworn I just used the quote function on the board.

If the Pak policy is to interfere in Indian affairs, then yes, you are right, India should not ask for peace either. Here you are wrong. If Pakistan provides an easier shipping channel for Indian goods and trade moves from Delhi to Gwadar it benefits India, not hurts it. For example, if...

Personally, I know a few (ex) reporters at WSJ. They are not biased to start a fight (at least it was not until News media took over the paper) . But they cater to American/European investment community. Seen from a birds eye view in the US, these two large countries appear similar. They need to...

OK, I'll start with criticism of the article. 1) It compares two different countries with different economic systems even as it the changes are in progress. India has been on this path for less than 15 years.China less than 30. Both are still growing. You do not want to compare your path to...

There is nothing stopping Islam (or Muslims in India) proscribing gay sex. They can announce that no gay person will be a muslim. All that the law says is that the punishment for "gayness" is not up to the courts. No one is stopping any religious authority from passing opinions or...

Sorry, that is what YOU are not meant to be. (Me neither, as a point in fact). But some people are meant to be gay. That's the way nature made them and the laws will allow a decrease is social pressures to act in ways they were not meant to be. Personally, why care as long as they don't...

Doesn't Waziristan already have collective responsibility laws and punishments? BTW : Israel destroyed houses of suicide bombers not killed off the whole family. That is in itself condemnable. I find that whole business sad. You end up becoming the evil you are trying to fight.

I don't remember Dawood being charge sheeted in this list ? The story says the following. The wanted include Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed, LeT operative Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu al Hamza and Abu al-Qama. Dawood at this point is an easier problem to deal with. He is...

He does say that there are people from ages 15-50 working in the "Barood" group. But so far no teenager has been a suicide bomber (from what I remember from news reports). I agree with your point that TTP is doing horrible things. Two days ago there was a report that TTP shot dead their own...

There is none. On the other hand there is evidence to the opposite (that India is NOT involved). It is funny when an admin posts a story that was posted 3 days ago with exact same title. It is even worse when the story is just a list of allegations with nothing backing it up. Look at the...

If every suicide bomber is like this, (and he is fully informed and telling the truth) it would mean that a lot of theories on Taliban so far are wrong. -> This man is a volunteer who sought out Taliban, not the other way around. -> He says many others have family etc. and are not motivated...

The flip side is that no economy has ever developed entirely through domestic demand. USA in the early 1900 came closest (because they were very good), but even they had massive amount of trade. India does have the size to have a massive customer base, but we'll have to wait and see how this...

Asking everyone to do subsistence farming is not the way to economic development. Take two scenarios. A well run farm can be run by some 10 people and produce food for a 1000. This would mean that the 10 people make lots of money while the remaining 990 people can do other productive things...

Thanks aimarraul for refusing to be part of another India-China fight. I can't understand the attitude of some other posters. In case someone here does not understand economics (Note: I am not an expert myself, but this is macroeconomics 101). There is not a fixed amount of wealth in...

TV channels are reporting that Delhi HC has ruled that consensual sex amongst gay people is legal. Judgement day: Will homosexuality become legal? It would seem that they found a back door (no pun intended!) to making this legal. This way the court has taken the action, sidestepping the...

Not really... North Korea has tried assassinating the head of state of South Korea and bombed a meeting of diplomats. After that they refused to even meet, let alone talk. Park Chung-hee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seems like this is far better than how South Asian heads of Govts have gotten along. Here they shook hands and talked to each other in a friendly manner. I can't understand what is wrong with the statement that says "I am glad to meet you, but my mandate is to talk about terror". It says its...
