The principal of covering the head started as a practise of hygine. Since hairs have the tendency to attract dust and dirt thats why ancient cultures covered there head and where the cloth were sparse they tonsure the head e.g in africa and in the brahmacharya in India.

Yeah I agree Pakistan is the perfect country in fact the best in the world with best world military devoid redtapism or corruption. It has strong and visionary civil political leadership committed to public welfare without any scandals or charges.
This is a faulty argument. I would point to Indian manufacturing of SU-30MKI (Critics are free to say that anything ...). It does not come out cheaper, the objective is to gain the expertise in manufacturing. The labour cost in high technology items is less than 5%. Most of the work is done by...
I don't question the individual opinions but would definitely point out few things. So I take it as an agreement that no religion is based purely on rationality and evidence.

It is an empty rethoric. "When I point one finger at others three finger point at me". It equates to saying let me have the holy grail (read nukes) while you should not. Israel (or any world power) will hardly take it seriously.

There is some mistakes in the figure it indicates 39.8% drop rate. This is impossible. Also it does not match the indian statistical figure. I am in education domain figures of Orissa alone are greater than 0.9% (of total indian students). There are around 1 million students completing education...
I believe this talks about the UNSC seat is immaterial and inconsequential.
Going by the BRICs report we will grow much stronger very soon within five years .i.e. 3rd largest economy and the third largest military power.

a) the person is a moron or
b) have some direct material benefits on conversion.
or both.
The people here have very good scientific knowledge but it seems few fundamentals regarding group dynamics and human nature (psychology) are being overlooked.
