    Was British Empire forced to leave or not?

    I dont know if what you said is a conspiracy theory, or reality. But regarding the two bolded parts above, what did Bose and Bhagat Singh achieve? Bhagat Singh was branded a terrorist and hung. Bose went and fought for the Nazis, not because he believed in Hitler's ideology, but because he...

    Was British Empire forced to leave or not?

    I disagree. You completely ignore the World War 2 and its effects on the British Empire. The British were devastated in World War 2. It exposed their military weaknesses, financial weaknesses and there was no way that they could keep both countries of 300 million or more people subjugated any...

    Any questions Regarding India

    I dont know about the first question, but I have read that Chanakya is traditionally referred to us Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta. Any other historians here can probably throw more light on that.

    Dichotomous belief systems cannot co-exist. If such belief systems have to co-exist, then secularism is that conciliatory principle that has the potential to facilitate co-existence. And since it is by nature conciliatory, compromises have to be made on both sides, for everyone's well being. You...

    Islamists in Cairo call for Islamic law

    There goes another country down the drain. Every time there is this "revolution" in those parts of the world, they immediately want Sharia. A MORE oppressive regime. :confused:

    Another shah bano case:HC judgment on ‘talaq’ raises eyebrows in Kashmir

    I find this argument pretty ignorant. Lemme ask you a few questions. 1. Who told you that it is men that always divorce? 2. What if the wife cheats the husband? Would you then say she deserves money? 3. What if the couple do not emotionally connect? Or have different goals in life and the...

    Another shah bano case:HC judgment on ‘talaq’ raises eyebrows in Kashmir

    Its not contradictory. Its your understanding that is wrong. Secularism is keeping religion out of the law making process. Currently we have laws based on religion - the religious personal laws. The Cow slaughter laws etc., Which is wrong. Let people pray to whatever God they want to, celebrate...

    That could either be the fault of an Indian. Or it could very well reflect the fact that you dont have a large heart. Its a two way street. That is why we need to have one set of laws for all. And we need to guarantee religious freedom for all. Now since this is a democratic process people...

    Another shah bano case:HC judgment on ‘talaq’ raises eyebrows in Kashmir

    1. Revoke any law based on religion. A complete separation of religion and state. ONE law, ONE secular law for everybody. 2. Revoke all religious personal laws and cease to institutionally recognize Sharia. Similarly revoke Cow slaughter laws, which are also based on religion and totally...

    UP college makes headscarves must

    No it is not an unrelated paragraph. The other poster said that India is in a mess. And you wanted to strengthen his statement saying Sati would be made legal. This is obviously about religion and religion being used to make rules for people. The school or college, is a minority...

    Yeah and what you dont get is, its muslims that have done this. So why should Sati be legalized? The Hindu community has always modernized, its just the muslim community that wants to remain backward for whatever reason. For instance, in the Shah Bano case, the orthodox muslim groups are the...

    Another bunch of backward morons stuck in the 7th century. The government in these cases should immediately step in and revoke such rules. They should have atleast made it optional. Why should people of other religions be forced to do it their way? Talk about dogma and mullah-ism. Hope someone...

    Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide?

    No I wasnt being sarcastic or Islamaphobic. Dont throw around labels. Its how it is. People from Pakistan support Turkey because both are Muslim countries. Show me one muslim country that has recognized the Armenian genocide. And yes, this shouldnt be based on religion, religion has nothing to...

    Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide?

    He doesnt make those kind of masala movies. He is a critically acclaimed director, and made movies like Elizabeth that won several academy awards etc., But am sure you know this.

    Shekhar Kapur to make film on Armenian genocide?

    Uhh What? Its a movie by a film maker on something that happened. What is so political about it? Havent there been movies about the Holocaust, WW2, Nanking Massacre, Unit 731 etc? And you have to start a stupid thread to vent. Talk about maturity. Sheesh. If Turkey doesnt like it, they can...

    Thats the usual short sighted view. However, that is not the point of the thread. It is about Pakistan's options, geo-politically. Traditionally Pakistan has always taken an aligned stance. At first it was the United States, now it is China. Its every move, or should I say, its moves for the...

    Flash! Textron Begins CBU-105 Weapon Deliveries To India

    They should integrate such a system into the Nirbhay :D It carries 24 different types of warheads anyway, and I believe one of them will atleast be a cluster munition warhead. What if these can be integrated, that would make for some devastating firepower, especially since it will have...
