I agree with your point that a moderately successful democracy doesn't need an educated populace. But then India hasn't had too many alternatives either. It has been dynastic rule of the congress or a shaky tenure of the BJP. The current congress government is different, and the leadership...

According to intelligence, there are 11 in total, and all were "militants" DAWN.COM | Provinces | US missiles strikes kill 11 in Pakistan DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Intelligence officials say four suspected US missiles strikes have killed 11 militants in northwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border...

There was no entity explicitly called Israel in WW1 or WW2.

Please watch your comments. We won't have too much of a moral right to accuse others of racism if we behave this way ourselves.

None of our business. Despite diplomatic pressures, the Chinese have been quite reasonable when it comes to internal affairs of India. We should follow this logic and stay away from this contentious issue.

Politicians are dishonest, corrupt and incompetent by and large. Neither the BJP, nor the Congress have their hands clean in this mess. Back on topic, Modi is an excellent administrator and executive, but public image is non-negotiable for many Indians, Hindus and otherwise. He is someone who...

Are you a Nigerian of Indian descent?

Let's beat the mighty Aussies in both sports ;)

Great news! I am disappointed with the Indian media - still focusing on the Test match in their headlines. I understand that we are doing well there and it is an exciting match, but this was LIVE, and we were in the middle of a thrilling fightback. What a game! Let's hope we have a good game...

Atheists believe in the concept of "god", or the power of nature, or a higher being. But they don't believe it is as synchronized and controlled as religious people do. They also scoff at the idea of the importance of earth and human life - we are just a speck of dust in this enormous universe...

Comparison is not the best thing, but learning from others' success is a positive mindset. India has the same set of countries to get inspired from and we can learn a lot from Japan, Europe and the US. But that should not prevent us from learning from China's growth. Especially since they have...

Well it is a success story and something we can learn from. I won't say we need to replicate China's methods, but getting inspired from someone's success is better than burning yourself with jealousy. Which brings me to an interesting question - is there anything that Pakistanis admire about...

There are always leading and lagging states in every country. Please stay away from this stupid childish stereotyping of "full of beggers (sic)". Bihar has as much wealth as other states, but it rests with the corrupt politicians and landlords. Just FYI, Bihar has been making some impressive...

If you speak to Mexicans, they blame it on Americans who are the main customers for these drug cartels. The US has done a good job on sealing its borders from the drug cartels. But they are lagging behind on tracking the movement and consumption of these goods once they make it past the border.

The freaking cartels are very sophisticated in their methods for kidnapping and extorting money from the wealthy. They track rich kids based on online profiles and status messages. My Mexican friend doesn't put her pictures or real name on facebook, doesn't state her name on voicemail, and...

Not just any rapist...just the serial ones especially leading to murder. Besides, many states have made, or are planning to make the death penalty illegal.

Yeah I agree... He was shorter than I had imagined...he wasn't all that short

At the Memphis airport...dude is pretty short. There was hardly any fuss about him. Just him and 2 guys...maybe no one recognized him... I did, thanks to the guitar and grin :) checked his website, he has a show here tomorrow

How did you get that? Do you have reference to the fact that the idols were of Hindu gods? Didn't idol worship exist in every part of the world - the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Indus Valley, China etc?

I expected you to come up with this. So when you, a regular Pakistani person, can get along so well with a local Hindu in a country where the constitution treats you differently, despite the few incidents of crimes against minorities, why do you paint India and Indians (especially Hindus) with...
