I may not be happy in either type of marriage. But that depends on the relationship you have with your wife. But marrying a girl of THEIR choice is unacceptable in my opinion. They are not the ones that live with her. I do. Gratitude can be expressed in a lot of ways but this isnt one of em. I...

The extremists in other religions actually do not behave. Recently I heard of a story in the US where a pastor advocated that a man "rise up" and beat his wife, if she supported gay rights. Now I dont know how he is any different from a guy in Saudi Arabia talking about wife beating. But the...

People should take the conscious decision to avoid dowry at all costs. If it takes 4 years to find a bride or a groom, then so be it. But anyway, this is my personal opinion, but I think this is because of this ridiculous system of arranged marriages. I dont even understand how people can do...

Yes, but they had the most essential ingredients. Literacy and a relatively equal society. Its only the infrastructure they had to build back. Not saying that was easy, but what India and China to a lesser extent face today is totally different.

They are different planes, for different roles and some belong to different generations. Some of the planes are variants, not completely different planes, like J10, J10B etc., These variants might be upgraded ones, or may be sold to other countries like Pakistan.

That only translates into a few constituencies and a few seats in the parliament. The majority, is what matters. And as we have seen from past elections, except for in 1998 and 99, the Congress has been successful. Largely because they have the majority support. On PDF you might have a lot of...

It is not really because of minorities that the BJP loses. Remember minorities dont make up the vote bank.

Well, since India is a democracy, albeit a flawed one, I would say India is indeed a little bit more transparent than China, though not as transparent as we would like it to be. When it comes to matters of aid, I do think both countries need aid. Both countries suffer from income inequality...

There is no such thing as free aid. The British aid of 280 mill pounds is neither due to altruism nor due to goodwill. There is always a quid pro quo. They give "aid" and in return expect business deals. Case in point, we all remember how the British politicians flipped out when we chose Rafale...

Its nothing. They just read about Gujarat's development, industrially and otherwise. Combine that with India's economic development for the past 20 years since liberalization, the country is too hopeful and impatient, so they are willing to overlook what Modi is all about. And they support him...

Exactly what I am trying to say. The history taught in Indian schools is highly India centric uptil the point of independence. They present hitler as a dictator but dont talk about the holocaust and other atrocities. Yes we should change our syllabus to reflect all of these recent histories.

So what do you propose? Do you expect me to support Hitler, even though he didnt do anything to India just because some rulers in our own land brutalized us in the past? What is your logic here and what do you wanna say?

There you go, you have tons of poverty and illiteracy and you go talking nonsense about creating great kingdoms through someone else's bloodshed. Yeah, US and UK killed more people than the Nazis and Stalin, so its Okay to excuse what Hitler and Stalin did. Sheesh. You might wanna pull your head...

Thats because they dont know about what Hitler did. They dont teach that in schools. Atleast I didnt come across it in my CBSE syllabus, 14 years ago. Now sure how it is today.

Wow that is pretty expensive. Over here...am not so sure, Its been a while since I bought sugar but I guess it is around 40-45/Kg. And if you buy it in a ration store, its dirt cheap. :lol:

It is of course a movie. It is staged. But the message is true.

I dont think Americans in general live in fear. Except for a few simple folks that buy into the propaganda of some grave existential threat. But Americans are used to these kinds of manufactured threats. Back in the days of the cold war, it was the Soviet Union. Then Al-Qaeda and Saddam...

Speak for yourself. Hitler was a criminal that sent 6 million Jews to gas chambers, endorsed human experimentation on children and what not. You love him? Really? You'd be one of those guys sent to the gas chambers, cuz according to him, you are inferior. Stalin was another criminal. Have you...

Of course you can. But it is not me or any Indian posting some Pakistan bashing comment. It is you doing it, as if everything is hunky dory over there. Post something on topic and worth discussing or just move on, if you are just gonna start trolling and derailing the thread. It doesnt...

I guess its alright. China is a new power, and sometimes, states tend to behave immaturely if they are not used to power projection. China has just started out to influence the world, so it must be patient. Power projection can only be done through diplomacy, not by making insulting comments...
