la clameur de la burqa en France I sincerely hope its not banned. One, it compromises the French principle of Egalite' . Secondly , it gives a wrong impression to the world , that France is worried about what basically is a dress item. Lastly, I feel that it gives a green light for...

The world will end in 2012 (so say Mayans).. hence all the above prophets better get a move on !

Yes, you are correct as to defining how the problem occurs. Most crimes against Indians are correctly pointed out as crimes of opportunity. To generalise, recently migrated Indians are some of the most aloof people at the moment. , totally devoid of 'situational awareness'. Sydney becomes a...

What on earth is this ?? Racism is basically secular !! Where did you get this gem from ! Pray, where does religion based racialism come from then ?? History is awash with instances where races have used religion as a mean to destroy and take over another civilization. Caste is another matter...

I dont agree with you 100% I agree with you 200% :tup: How civilized is a nation, a 5,000 year shared civilization that resorts to violence at the drop of the hat to justify religion or social problems !! The day, Indians and Pakistanis resort to solving disputes , small ones and large...

My interpretation. Something extraordinary happens in the war on terror in Afghanistan. What happens maybe the next lines can tell: Aha, more clear now. US is defeated in Afghanistan or even in a more bizzare way, the govt of Hamid Karzai or the nation of Pakistan is defeated. ( If taken...

Omar This is what you are hoping that might not happen. I certainly dont discard anything in life, however remote or seemingly stupid a theory may sound.

Go neiri an tadh leat :cheesy: You will surely need it. I am half Irish and support anything Irish. Given we suck at cricket (in fact most things:lol:) but there is something called the luck of the Irish. Don't worry, we will win this one! You might be Bangla tigers and play with...

I think it wont be as simple as this. I have seen through the media, the attitude of the Pakistanis as well as the Indians. Pakistanis in general are more circumspact, more wary of war especially fighting over multiple fronts and less prone to jingoism and their media less shrill and more...

Saad, Pray, how could the British solve Kashmir if they had to leave on Aug 14th 1947. Their jurisdiction ending at that time. What happened in Kashmir,Junegadh and Hyderabad happened post 1947.

A better analysis is Sri Lanka - LTTE is Pakistan - Taliban (like the Tehreek E Taliban) The war in Sri Lanka does not reflect the ground realities in Kashmir. India has a huge iron curtain in Kashmir, where it is very difficult to raise an army to take on the might of India. Hence only...

I think a short surgical strike will be a prelude to a greater escalation. While Indians are more mature now, a perfect storm of peoples anger, medias mischief and politicians becoming unaturally aggressive can set the tone for the next war. Even in Kargil, everyone bar the politicians...

Why and how is this related to the current thread ???

Just a reminder, today is the 20th anniversary of , June 4th Incident in China !! Or as brilliantly put in the Simpson goes to China episode , when Homer is looking at a sign in Tianamen Square which says : " On June 4th , 1988, Nothing happened here " :enjoy:

Glad to hear that after 38 years, you are still suffering ! :rofl: The misery lane carved by the sword of India.

Coming back to the initial thread. I have no doubt that the crimes commited are crimes of opportunity. The level of security in public areas in Melbourne and Sydney are absolutely shocking. This is the new reality in Australia and people should be wary of them. Crime itself is a major...

I think all this old school now. A K Antony and the UPA are more in favour of indegenous products . Hence this fast take on the Arjun.

Good going The LTTE never gave up and came to the negotiating table. The Peace process was the only way out of this mess, however the LTTE still believed that they could win this militarily ! India now has a much greater role to play to ensure that the Tamils are taken care off in the peace...

A thoughtful article indeed and has put in a definate plan of action and a somewhat 'responsible' use of nuclear weapons. Use it as a tactical weapon on an advancing enemy, at the base of the attack and not at the advancing columns. However I believe that the doctrine falls on one...

Totally engrossing account. So the super power involved was the US of A. Another thing that worries me somewhat. Given that Brig Imtiaz comes across as a unflappable character , a patriot at times , why was he jailed during Bhutto and Musharrafs tenure. Was the CIA , smarting from...
