oh the irony...

Stop trolling; this isn't funny and certainly isn't a topic to indulge your idiotic rants.

Don't be a tool... or a fool for thinking you have "balls" for taking an idiotic stance on a random internet forum. Your declarations which blatantly dehumanize and disrespect the dead and their loved ones are primarily motivated by some bizarre insecurity and inferiority complex. Just because...

IMHO Ms. Jahangir puts forth valid arguments. The only reason i say this is because the two other reports I have seen so far on the IDP crisis- one by an influential NGO that advises the UNHCR and the other by a Pakistani group at the UN, all have corroborative findings. Having said that I'm...

You're right, national interest may not be based on altruism, but it certainly isn't ambivalent to suicide. Potential economic interests in India do not outweigh our investment into Afghanistan and Pakistan. The fundamental approach to this issue revolves around preventing another level of...

She isn't reporting anything, and certainly not in a scholarly capacity. That is my point. She's a celebrity activist, and in that capacity it is her job (and right) to be as inflammatory as possible. Nonetheless, taking her word as a credible objective analysis isn't a very good idea.

Arundhati Roy is neither a reporter nor a policy analyst. She primarily does social commentary as a celebrity literary figure turned activist. There are others who in a professional capacity issue genuine criticism of Indian policy.

She didn't have any direct input on the matter. Unlike Tellis, she wasn't contracted by the government to review its findings. Your assumption here is that he's the only one making certain findings which would then allow unlimited freedom to skew the data. You're also assuming that he works...

Tellis may be born and educated in India but his comments are made in a professional capacity as an academician/policymaker which is under constant scrutiny and peer review. His credibility (and he has lots of it based on how many governments and institutions around the world contract his...

Dentistry is more so that not relegated as a secondary concern. I don't know why they only hire males though.

Express fast bowlers tend to be a liability in T20 cricket, especially over the duration of a tournament. Batsmen, and in particular openers use the pace of the ball to score a lot of boundaries in the initial overs when the field restrictions are on. The best bowlers tend to be medium...

This has nothing to do with India; nor do India and Pakistan share an equitable relationship when it comes to terrorism.

I don't think anyone wants Pakistan to fail, because that would be absolutely disastrous. Despite all the rhetoric and jingoism the outfall of a failed Pakistan will be far, far worse than what it is now and may also prove to be fatal to countries in the surrounding region. It also seems like...

They're an excellent combo, no doubt about it. Winwood is a brilliant and accomplished musician in his own right and has managed to keep a low profile. I have noticed that individuals like him have been just as critical and to rock music as high profile celebrities like Eric Clapton or Jimmy...

No, all it does is indicate that no evidence has been released to the public to settle internet debates. If there was absolutely no evidence, critical policy wouldn't be written the way it is now, nor would there be any pressure applied upon the GoP from the leaders of the international...

The Pakistani leadership has already been accosted with the origins and nature of the attackers and their long standing relationship/patronage with parts of the state's apparatus which albeit isn't a monolith by any means. Consequently it has been made clear to them that they will not recieve...

I don't see anything in this article that wasn't already known, being seriously investigated or strongly suspected with preliminary evidence. The only thing that has probably changed is the percentage breakdown of opium to foreign remittances; a figure that generally keeps changing from year to...

^^ Dude S2, Clapton and Winwood are currently on tour. I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

No actually this isn't an open secret. A few investigations since 2002-3 have been conducted on the possible Indian involvement in the Baluch armed conflict; I won't be surprised if Selig Harrison is using the findings from those reports here. Regardless, none of them found any indication of...

They were; which is the only reason why virtually every major intelligence agency started looking into the matter; the person who has done by far the most research on this particular attack is a USMC General who specializes in SF operations. His findings played a major role in the formulation of...
