The legacies don't go away and the decisions markedly effect the future. Are we proud of fall of Dacca or Zia's shenanigans. No, as we suffered due to decisions taken by a few.

We are discussing Nehru and Kashmir here. Why are bringing Jinnah in this discussion and the treatment of minorities in Pakistan. Please stick to the topic. I do not understand as to why do you people belittle Nehru so much. He was a realist as well and a cold one at that. Please read...

The Lahore resolution of 1940 was clear in its proclamation when it stated that in the areas which were not contiguous, different independent entities for Muslims were to be created. So when Bangladesh was created in 1971, through Indian sponsoring of terrorism in East Pakistan, it still...

Hey Jerry Springer, why is it that you Indian Hindus have to prove your secularist modernity with beef eating examples. When Sita was returning from Lanka 200 cows were sacrificed to celebrate her return. Eat your heart out along with your cow's manure gulped down with its urine as one of your...

I am sorry I disagree with you. When one carefully reads the environment as they existed at that time, such a possibility did not exist.

Nehru's briefing to the newly appointed head of Indian Intelligence Bureau, on the eve of partition, clearly indicated that there were only two enemies of India, China and Pakistan. That policy has since been followed and now, over 65 years after India's independence, these two countries almost...

In a speech in the Lok Sabha on June 26, 1952, Nehru said, “It just does not matter what your Constitution says. If the people of Kashmir do not want it, it will not go there.” If the plebiscite went against India, he would accept the verdict “and we would change our Constitution about it”. This...

From the princely states of Alwar, Kapurthala, Patiala and Punjab. I stated it in my post. Here are some of the references: Cristopher Snedden, What happened to Muslims in Jammu? Local Identity, the Massacres of 1947 and the Roots of the Kashmir Problem, South Asia, Vol. XXIV, no. 2 (2001)...

Please ask a straight question or make a statement instead of going around in circles - I am sure you know which were those contiguous areas were. Which areas outside British India whom Pakistan was meant for? - I did not understand this query. Could you please elaborate. Thanks.

Manekshaw clearly states that "the Indian troops were already at the airport, ready to be flown in. Air Chief Marshall Elmhurst was the air chief and he had made arrangements for the aircraft from civil and military sources." And all this even before VP Menon flew to Sri Nagar to get the...

Pakistan was not created for all the Muslims of British India. It was created for those contiguous areas that had Muslim majority. The Two Nation Theory comprised many factors, including the religious factor which for reasons became more pronounced. Therefore, it is still alive and is being...

The objectionable article of Indian constitution which identifies Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists as a sect of Hinduism has not been amended as yet. Amending the minorities act of 1992, on 23/10/1993, which you have posted, did not ameliorate the main objection of these minorities. That is why they...

Sachin Tendulkar is certainly an all time great cricketer. There is absolutely no doubt about it.

Will there be an INSAS fading out ceremony by Indian Army as Sachin's farewell is taking place. After all, INSAS served Indian Army for a long time.

Ahhh - you meant Array Ghazab. Sorry I could not understand it. My fault. :)

What does Are Gajaab means please.

Currently I am busy with another good old Anglo Indian shunt-master whose favourite pass-time is running hate trains en-route to peace making hoopla. Please google it and read it yourself - you've been here long enough to know more than you display.

You don't tell me what to to do. You are a mere nobody. I quoted Indian Supreme Court decisions, the opinions of Indian Supreme Court Judges, Indian PhD law professors and Indian Law Makers. Go argue with them and tell them that the they are full of frivolities. Do it yourself, if your knees...

The two nation theory is only applicable to India and Pakistan due to peculiar circumstances that existed at around the time of partition. Though religion was one of the more pronounced factors it did not only relate to religion alone as was popularly propagated.And @Joe Shearer, please tell...

Oh so now you are well equipped aren’t you after reading and quoting your favourite geekish Greek who did not know where Indus was. And now that you have read Talageri who tend to shift the aryavarta eastwards and then westwards in later periods for the benefit of OOIs. And wow, now you also...
