    Pakistan refuse to tone down Wagah ceremony

    The question really is why do we have to carry on with this circus. Pakistan doesn't want to tone down; fine. What stops us from toning it down.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    The point is of relying on irrationality as the basis for argument. Saying that peoples (the plural is intentional) can be grouped only on the basis of religiosity, to form a 'nation', thereby ignoring people's non-religious aspirations, is as irrational as claiming pigs could fly, if they grew...

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    It is enormously entertaining to watch the convulsion that one goes into to rationalize TNT with the reality of Bangladesh.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    I thought it was self-evident in my post, but, whatever.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    Isn't it the whole point - that there is more to human identity than just religion. Its like saying that the claim 'pigs can fly' is absolutely right, that is, if the pigs could grow wings.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    It was not a 'hypothetical' question at all. Anyway, it was Mohammad Ali Jinnah, at Lahore Congress of Muslim League, 1940. The history of Bangladesh is incomplete without India. Loathe as much as you may, but that is a fact you just can't run away from.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    I am sure that the gentleman who made that comment was aware of 'all' of the definitions of a 'nation'. It is sad though, that you couldn't figure out who that gentleman was.

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    So basically what you are saying is that a certain gentleman was wrong when he said: Mussalmans are a nation according to any definition of a nation..

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    You do realize, don't you, that the Bengalis were victorious because of the Mukti Bahinis, who you call terrorists, and because of the support they received from your enemies.

    Second Opinion: Kashmir bargain

    Kudos to your honesty. The 'freedom fighters' are after all terrorists. Or is it your primordial craving to gloat over the exploits of your 'freedom fighters', that let the cat out of the bag. Another Freudian slip?

    Pakistan to Apologise for 1971 Killings

    As Abir said, there is a gulf of a difference between 'apology' and 'regret', particularly so, when it is worded in a way to dilute culpability. What the Bangladeshis want is an acknowledgment of the guilt - which is what an apology implies - and not a 'regret' for 'excesses committed during the...

    I find it a little amusing. I understand that they want to imply that Indian administered Kashmir is 'occupied', but strangely enough they choose to mention the entire State of Jammu and Kashmir, which according to UN maps, is the name of the region that includes Gilgit-Baltistan and Hunza...

    ^^ In a recent interview on NDTV, Barkha Dutt asked Ramchandra Guha what he thought of Ms Roy, '' Intellectual or scholar ?''. Guha replied, "Neither" PS: It was addressed to Abir's post.

    What is sauce for goose, is sauce for gander as well. Just as Ms Roy has freedom of speech to speak her mind, her opponents also have the same freedom of speech to oppose her. If you can't take it, don't speak it. If you speak it, be ready to to take it as well. PS: What has secularism got...
