    Pak should propose joint civil nuclear plants to India: Mazari

    The idea is interesting and good that such thoughts are being discussed. However, I am firmly against nuclear power. The net energy, i.e. energy spent to extract energy, is very unfavourable and wasteful. I don't want any nuclear plants on the border or anywhere in the bar-e-sagheer for that...

    Islam and science: The road to renewal - ECONOMIST

    Fauji Saahab you are a light that shines bright. Lets hope more people in our subcontinent and elsewhere start to see things the way they are as you do. Needless to say, the scientific achievements I have read about in the Muslim world, especially Persia, were great for their time. But the...

    India Clears Hydropower Project On Brahmaputra To Counter China

    Does China really need all these dams to provide water for Tibet and the Uighur province? I don't expect the Chinese to take the Tibetans and Uighurs on board in any such decisions, but it seems they are doing this purely for geo-political reasons such as wanting to gain somewhat of a chokehold...

    Indian police shoot dead at least 8 from Assam tribe

    Sorry but I don't see any parallel. When have the Tibetans ever wielded spears or even stones when protesting? If anything they burn themselves to death without threatening to harm anyone, even the police that beats them to a pulp. Violence simply isn't part of the Tibetan culture and spirit...

    A Happy Ending - Migrating Sikhs find peace in Karachi

    Very nice to read. I had heard about some Pashtun Sikhs in Afghanistan and Sarhad, and that during warring times between the factions or during the chaos of NATO's war, that many of the Muslim Pashtun tribes on both sides of the border would give them shelter and protect them like brothers. It...

    Bonjour India festival 2013. A French attempt to strengthen"cultural ties".

    Not sure if you are Sikh, but the French gave a lot of assistance to the independent kingdoms such as Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Nawwab of Bengal when they were resisting Britain's imperialist expansion. It may have been for their own interest, but their almost always being on the side of...

    Syria: Questions that can not be Answered?

    I have always respected the Ba'ath party and Nasser for their anti-imperialist and Arab nationalist stance. I understand Ba'athist ideology had a strong intellectual and secular-socialist foundation, with one of the founders being Christianity adherent I believe, and proved itself to be relevant...

    Is the role of Russia declining in our defence orientation?

    I came across this article in Telegraph India, where the Deputy chief of Russia's state arms exporter was fuming during a press briefing at the Aero show, and it got me thinking. This is but one latest example I've seen of signs over the past few years, much more than the 90s, that our...

    Kashmiri girl quits band after fatwa !!

    I usually do not jump into these kinds of topics, so forgive my interference. But it interests me that you have an avatar of the, might I add violent, game 'Mafia' (of which the orchestral score is as beautiful as any I've heard btw). So video games are not haraam, correct? But music is? Where...
