As far as I know, India's proliferation record has been completely clean. China, on the other hand, exported such tech to North Korea and Pakistan, and AQ Khan's proliferation network is well known. So if they were so happily exporting and spreading nuclear technology, why be upset at India who...

Life will go on. Besides, aid only goes to fill the pockets of elites or the military, and hardly any filters down to the people that need it. US is not required by Pakistan, which is blessed with fertile lands making it largely self sufficient in food and water. What Pakistan needs, like India...

It's so funny that some 'Jihadist' groups use twitter, online forums and all these modern tools to advocate a stone age interpretation of Islam. Don't those who follow this lot engage in any self-reflection when they flock to such 'kufr' 'Yahudi' inventions to cheer on their favourite knuckle...

See, the way I see it is both are two sides of the same coin. The Muslim league and Hindu fundamentalists basically wanted the same thing. One country for muslims, and another only for hindus. These are the unforeseen, or perhaps intended by some (who knows), consequences of partition that can...

It's unfortunate the situation has gone that far, but it's understandable and hope they can build a new life until it is safer to see their motherland again. Edit: Nevermind, it's unnecessary.

All that came to mind throughout the video was, 'That poor monkey'. Especially at the landing impact around 11:38, it seemed to be in real pain. Anyhow, well done to Iranians for this accomplishment. It is one step closer to being self reliant in space and other important technology. I just...

Please, don't make yourself look a fool when you clearly haven't looked into colonial rule in the subcontinent. Would it be sensitive of me to convey an opinion like the Western powers 'civilized' you people by raping your forces and citizens in the first/second opium wars? No, it would be...

There was a time when Al Jazeera was very independent and anti-imperialist, I can remember throughout the events of the middle-east post 9/11 at least. I remember closely following Al Jazeera live feeds and analysis throughout the Egyptian revolution during college. I felt like I was right there...

Are 'think tanks' supposed to throw around accusations with no substantiation or evidence whatsoever? Sorry I'm new to this site. We sponsor terrorism on Tibetan citizens? We are indirectly terrorizing Tibetans, from India? What are you on about?

No, Shia's should not decide or be made to leave Pakistan. This was a country created for the protection of Muslims, in a movement led by an Ismaili Twelver Shia might I add, so that no one including minorities of different faith would be discriminated against on the basis of their beliefs. If...

The true sign of a nation's strength is in it's ability to forgive and have compassion. These were the ideals espoused through so much of our history, from Ashoka to Gandhi. Capital punishment in general has no place in India, not only because of our civilizational values, but does nothing more...

The Mahayana sutras and amongst the oldest schools of mahasamghika relays this. If you read the Nirvana sutra which has authentic accounts of the final days of his life, he says that even if meat touches your food, that food should be discarded. His views on meat and killing of animals was...

I'm sorry, Shia terrorist proxies? Can you even name one such group or person in Pakistan?

They should call for ban of all meat, eggs and animal products except dairy-derived. If Sri Lanka is proud of its Buddhist heritage and calls itself a Buddhist nation, you should follow in the footsteps of the Buddha who was pure vegetarian. Karmically and physically it is good for you. No pig...

I hope India can act as the bigger brother for once and allow transit between Bhutan and Bangladesh on their own independent terms, even if they don't allow us transit to the northeast. Enough of this petty squabbling. Honestly, no one loses anything with transit through either of our countries...

Yes that is possible and impractical. But this idea, you can't seriously believe has any bearing with reality can you? I mean the closest thing I can think of is the hydrogen fuel cell prototypes which run only on hydrogen, and its only waste product is pure H2O. Even that is so farfetched to...

Rest in peace to the fallen, and may God guide our collective consciousness to remain steadfast in vanquishing such evil. It's days like this my heart bleeds when contemplating what has become of the subcontinent. :cray:

Why are only the same old parties being discussed as options? They've been tried and tested, neither side has brought fundamental, lasting change for the poorest segments or in the culture of corruption. It's been a couple of years since I've been back, so I don't know the sentiment of the...

I'm not Bengali but more power to Bengal and its people. Some of the greatest scientists, astronomers, mathematicians, philosophers, poets, freedom fighters were from this region. It truly has a rich history, and I'm all for brotherhood between Bengali's on both sides of the border. I sense...
