True that our government doesn't do enough to defend the rights of Sri Lankan Tamilians, but all said, isn't the welfare of an Indian citizen more important than someone who is considered our "brothers and sisters"? After all, that is what they are elected for, and I don't see that being too...

This is not a question of respect. If anyone expected the process of resuming cricket in Pakistan to be a smooth one, they were naive. Realize that there could be genuine concerns from players, administrators and their families. These people are just trained athletes not soldiers in combat...

That will be controversial and hard to justify.The situation in Zimbabwe was different and the Mugabe regime was unpopular with most countries. The security risk in Zimbabwe was from the government and the "governing" board, which is not the case in Pakistan. Besides, if you suspend the PCB...

They could potentially do that, and play cricket at the provincial/domestic level. But the quality and level of competition will not be the same, as you would expect. Besides, sponsorship is not easy to find when you are only playing domestic cricket. The prospects of a premier league will...

We are a big democracy with a free press and can't control everything. Indians pretty much know which sources to trust blindly and which ones need verification.

India TV is one of the most stupid channels ever. Sensationalism is one thing but this is just pure BS. I wonder if any of the main stream channels have said anything so far about the PPL. A few things to keep in mind: - Most Indians love their cricket and cricketers, but at the same time...

Shooting down drones is not an act of war. It is not sanctioned by the UN, so it is unlikely the US will impose sanctions for it. Besides, a sanction would mean US take direct responsibility for the drone strikes which it has not done on record. Drones have been somewhat effective in eliminating...

I like that idea...reminds me of my childhood days when we used to play "trump" cards :)

Good News, let's hope BD maintain the consistency they showed in the Asia Cup. While this tour has more symbolism attached, a close and well fought series will be great for cricket in Pakistan. This is just a game of cricket, let's just be happy for the individual boards and refrain from...

Happy New Year! Wasn't that yesterday though? It is a little confusing this year!

Happy New Year! Btw, don't Bengalis and Assamese celebrate their New Year today as well?

There you insulted a religion! I think you should get the death penalty! No wait, that is only if you insult Islam! Duplicity at its best... Btw, Scrumpy is an atheist and was speaking against religion in general, not just Islam. So keep other religions out of here.

Oh, everyone is good for entertainment, but not to run the country. Criticizing someone's work doesn't automatically qualify you to do their job. Not saying we don't need better people at the government, but definitely not these guys...

He is good for entertainment, but hasn't shown any evidence of intelligent thought or discussion.

If you are loud, confident, point your finger and ruffle papers in an interview, people take your bullshit seriously and assume you know what you are talking about. Arnab Goswami is no different from this breed of self-righteous journalists. They don't investigate, they use hostile tactics to...

Ironically, it is your diplomacy that is opportunistic as your second statement reveals. India has pretty good relationships with all Muslim countries except Pakistan. Coming to think of it, we have fewer "Muslim Nations" on our enemy list than Pakistan.

If the state of Pakistan had to choose between shooting a Pakistani Hindu or an Indian Muslim, whom will you choose? What does it then make you? Either a bigoted nation, or a foe of the Muslim world. Do you realize where I am going with this? What is the Muslim world first of all? Is there a...

It is amazing to see the kind of cultural exchanges India and China have had in our history. Just last month, I went to an "Indo-China" restaurant in the LA area and the owner was a Chinese ethnic from Calcutta. He spoke really good Bengali (his Hindi was just like Bengalis speak :)). And it was...

@Developereo: My experience in the US says people don't care where the money goes, as long as it goes towards good intentions (and does not support anti-US activities). In fact, the distorted image some Americans have of rural India will make them appreciate this quite a bit. "$1M pledged to the...

IT ranking considers quite a few elements where we have a long way to improve: - IT infrastructure. - IP laws - this causes the most anxiety and grief among companies in US and UK. We need to get cracking on this if we want to see real improvement in our standings. - Hiring/Firing/Labour...
