I suppose all Indian beauties join the "political" party called "Bollywood"! ;)

@Salman108: The reason I say Urdu is descended from Sanskrit is because Urdu and Hindi have near identical grammar. Only the literary vocabulary is different (the core vocabulary is also the same). Since Hindi descends from Sanskrit, and therefore, so must Urdu. Nowadays, Pakistanis speak Urdu...

I wanted to learn Sanskrit purely from a linguistic interest. But no one teaches Sanskrit in Pakistan. No university has a Sanskrit course! Urdu and Punjabi are directly descended from Sanskrit (although Urdu has lots of Persian words). Yet it is not possible to learn Sanskrit anywhere in...

Yes, they are just pawns used for negotiating with the other side. So sad that many are just kids or poor farmers who stray into the other side. For years they are held in jails without any trial.

Even in India which is a democracy, from time to time the foundations of democracy is tested by its illiterate people and its moronic and corrupt politicians. So many innocent people are killed in riots because democracy breaks down from time to time and there is no rule of law nor an...

Secularism, democracy and other modern progressive ideas are very difficult to implement in a society that is illiterate and uses traditional rules and laws to govern itself. Pakistan could have achieved all this, but the nation's Father died soon after creating, before he could stabilize the...
