    The British Raj in the sub-continent was a good thing for the muslims?

    Too simplistic a view. In short it's impossible to guess today what would have happened if European powers (not just British) didn't intervene in India. First, By the time of Bahadur Shah Jafar at 1850s the British power had completely captured India anyway. So you at least need to go back a...

    Pakistani engineer invents generator that runs on water

    This is one of those same old infinite power schemes. As some other commenters already mentioned, there is no way you can get more energy by burning Hydrogen than what was consumed to create it in the first place. Theoretically at max you can get back the energy which was consumed. So net energy...

    Leave it. No point in feeding the troll. This thread is pretty much ruined.

    Until that happens, can you give it a break?

    Stop criticizing India for being poor: We are too.

    If education was the only thing to make a difference then by your logic, India, with its emphasis on education from the begining and abundant mineral resources should also have been a developed country by now. That didn't happen. Did it? Economic policies ar far more important. Only after India...

    Stop criticizing India for being poor: We are too.

    Education is the one of the few fields where India is quite a bit ahead of Pakistan. Both in spread and quality. There are a whole lot of other things on which economic growth is measured. The most important is the rate of poverty. A 2005 report of World Bank records 22% people of Pakistan as...

    Stop criticizing India for being poor: We are too.

    Most Indians don't realize that in terms of economic parameters India is only slightly above Pakistan and even that's only in the last decade. Up until 1999-2000 Pakistan was ahead of India in per capita income. However if one compares with the rest of the world both countries are dirt poor...

    Nehru's Treachery in derailment of Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946

    VIP Jails. Pamper. Five course dinner with Hennessey and Bach playing in the background. How odd? Only a handful of Indians like Nehru decided to avail this facility. The rest found it too difficult and collaborated with the British. Like the Indian Army, 70% of which were Indians. All...

    Land mafia knocks over historical Sikh temple in Mardan Pakistan

    You are right. A little more. Not Much more. And your point is? Great. Find them and punish those who did the Godhra. For God's sake don't justify riots and try to develop a gut wrenching reaction against riots. It took lives of a 1000 Muslims and 250 Hindus almost all of whom innocent...

    Pakistan Railways asked to justify controversial deals

    If the total amount of money wasted in all Indian government projects (wasted, mind you, not stolen by corrupt officers which is separate) that alone will probably dwarf the whole budget of Indian Railways. So give it a break.

    Land mafia knocks over historical Sikh temple in Mardan Pakistan

    I understand news like often touches a raw nerve and brings about a knee jerk reaction. But things always goes the other way as well. No doubt religious minorities are persecuted in Pakistan. But it is just one form of persecution among many. Is it an accident that all Maoists in India today are...

    Land mafia knocks over historical Sikh temple in Mardan Pakistan

    Nehru's Treachery in derailment of Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946

    Nonsense!!! The guy spent years in British jail. Starting from early 30s from time to time. British stooge? Yeah right. Yes British started the fight over Kashmir and asked the Pakistanis to exploit Bangladeshis and tempted Indian BSF to maintain a shoot at sight order at the border with...

    Nehru's Treachery in derailment of Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946

    India without Nehru - 1. A Hindu theocracy with re-instituted child marriage and polygamy 2. Non-Hindi speaking people declared traitors for not speaking the 'Rashtra Bhasha' 3. Widespread violence against minorities. Lower caste and tribals declared subhuman 4. And India now consists of...

    Nehru's Treachery in derailment of Cabinet Mission Plan in 1946

    Congress's objection was on the nature of the plan. While it did talk about a united India in terms of defense and foreign policy, there were supposed to be two autonomous Muslim majority province groupings at the North West and Eastern part of the country. But both areas demarcated in the plan...

    Pakistan proposes to create a military block of Islamic states

    Look guys, don't want to dishearten you but try focusing on your internal problems first. There are so huge disparities between these countries in economy, politics and social matters that it's highly unlikely they are going to work together anytime soon.

    Trade with India. What we need to understand.

    I have been watching discussions in Pakistani media (via Youtube) about the current debate over MFN status to India for some time. The logic usually put forward is that there are certain commodities over which Pakistan has a comparative advantage. If the huge Indian market is opened and...

    Pakistan Army works up its own ‘iPad’

    There isn't much 'homegrown' about it. All major components are procured from other countries. The processor, an ARM, touchscreen, RAM, SSD and other chips will probably be imported from South Korea/China. Pakistan is basically doing only the assembling bit and probably the back cover. And even...
