I wouldn't agree with what's written by that tumba but there's no real reason for you to thank god every minute for creation of Pakistan. For a person(Muslim/non-Muslim) outside Pakistan you would probably look like a kid fed with propaganda.

Muslims are not a monolithic group just like Hindus aren't all the same. Clearly this 'Muslim minority syndrome' has gotten too far. It would be lying to say that a tamil/malyali muslim is the same as a person from UP/bihar. similarly shias, sunnis, ahmedis and other sects aren't exactly...

There's nothing anti-Muslim about that rant. Did you find anything regarding Muslims except for Islamic fundamentalism&terrorism which we are both victims of. Other than that it's just nations economics and security issues, although a bit naive i must say.

I don't want to annoy you. So, i am writing more than a line now. India is certainly not Pakistan. It acts on it's own interests independently. Given the hypothetical situation of war on Iran, India will most likely oppose it strongly along with China and Russia in all the international forums...

You are clearly not well versed with India's Iran Policy.

No Problem. Just curious, Are you also as skeptical about other things like God, scientific facts like theory of evolution? It's good to be skeptical and question things. we both agree on this, don't we? On that note, I say, meet you later on some other discussion.

:hitwall: What do you want me to tell you? Indians are despotic from the times immemorial and British conquered them and united them into one giant entity and when they were leaving the place divided it into two based on religions which are mutually antagonistic. Is that what you wanted your...

Do you know how history is reconstructed? I mean the process of historical study? We study the literature and interpolate things like conditions of the society, polity, geography, status of different social groups within the society. Indology as a subject is very well developed. Objective...

You asked me about boundaries. I gave you boundaries and the ' 16 states' that existed then. All of them called themselves as part of Bharatavarsha, meaning they stem from the same tribe of Bharatha. It's well documented in the history.

Nothing arbitrary about it :) Now do you get it ? Holism

If i understood Your question properly: Constitution of India states that India (Republic of India) is a union of states. If you are talking about more of an academic terms, then India is the Indian sub continent, merely a piece of land on the planet. Well, that's not a standard for us...

All the desis in the forum: when it comes to culture, history and heritage India is a super set and all the neighboring countries are in a way sub sets with newer elements after 1947. It's because all the Political heads and intelligentsia of sub continent(and outsiders) have always thought of...

That theory of Indian Despotism had long been refuted in the early 20th by both Indian and European Historians. Just for the fun of it Try reading the article for democracy in Wikipedia(Earliest democratic models and states).

I take it that You do not understand what a fascist Police state means in reality. it could also be that you assumed that communist regimes are natural and normal in the world just like in china. :welcome: to the rest of the world free from communism.

Chinki as in Chinese, not the racial term 'chink'

Doesn't matter, does it? as long as they are Indians.:) Chinese have a rather simplistic view of the world, probably 'cause of 'Personality cult' culture they have after the cultural revolution. It some times bothers me when i see Chinese people thinking of Mao as a hero or intellectual when...

Indologists(both Indian and European) visiting Pakistan for archaeological and other data can explain it better. Sindhis and Punjabis of pakistan are Indic people but only ethnic relations except for Hindus of Pakistan. That's the only thing that connects us with Ancient India. But more recent...

That's Inaccurate buddy. Indians do not claim the heritage of ancient India based on present day notion of nation state or boundaries. Modern India is the only country that can claim the heritage of Ancient India because the relics of the Ancient India/Epic India/Bharathavarsha can only be found...

P.S. calling Aryabhatta or Brahmagupta "Ancient Pakistanis" now is equivalent to calling them "British-Indians" during the first half of the 20th century(British-India). Just because we choose to call it Pakistan now, the history and the culture of the region then that produced the inventions or...

ancient pakistan:hitwall: anyway that's :offtopic:
