We are disappointed like hell. She has done in 34 or so weeks what the CPI(M) did in 34 years. Here is a dedication to Ms Bannerjee. Yeah, I get it, You're an outcast. Always under attack. Always coming in last, Bringing up the past. No one owes you anything. I think you need a...

Both India and Pakistan came into being on 15th August, 1947. Section 1(I) of India Independence Act states: 'As from the fifteenth day of August, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, two independent Dominions shall be set up in India, to be known respectively as India and Pakistan.'...

Aha! A new history has been invented. (Hollywood, eat your heart out.). The Aryans were Hindus, at the very least proto-Hindus, who came, conquered the blackie Southies and then converted them from their profound indigenous religion into Hinduism. There seems to be a minor disagreement on the...

We talk of BDs only in the context of amazing poll vaulters, that too when they get shot like dogs, cow smugglers, pocket pickers and chain snatchers. Don't flatter yourself. And we would cheer you by turning our azzes to our TV screens and farting in unison.

Here is Indian Citizenship Act. Browse to Section 5.

The ones highlighted are examples of what our good friend Rusty calls pandering. Not secularism.

Why would anybody want to ban 'chairs and tables, or jumping, or something equally silly', willy nilly, just because these are not mandatory in any religion. There must be a rational explanation for banning. Test of secularism would be if such banning, or for that matter permission, of an act...

Is cow slaughter mandatory in Islam? Is it ordained by the Holy Koran or any of the authoritative Hadiths? If not, then banning of cow slaughter (in some states) doesn't present any impediment, real or imagined, to Islam or its practice. The tenet of secularism is, therefore, not violated...

That was Jinnah's feeble attempt at fixing a leaky dam with chewing gum. Even more chose India. Ergo the assertion that if foundation is based on hatred then the edifice will eventually be consumed by hatred. One way or the other. Two more things. Firstly, whichever mullah brigade...

It is you, as always, indulging in meaningless semantics. What you missed is that I hadn't responded to the OP, but merely to an argument that, in a desperate attempt to score some brownie points, tried to equate a hypothetical admission of a guilt by an accused to an individual leveling an...

He may have been a wart on Hakimullah's genitals, for all I care. The logic still stands.

Apples and jackfruits. Person A receiving money from Person C and claiming to have so done, is called admission. Person B claiming that Person A has received money from Person C, is allegation, of the garden variety kind. The difference is not that subtle. But then.....

When you say 'Kashmiris' do you mean the dards, the ladakhis, the dogras, the hanjis, the gujjars or the bakarwals. And when you say the 'mainland Indians' do you mean the gujratis, the bengalis, the tamils, the ....... You see where I'm going with this?

Just to clarify, Pakistan got independence on the same day that India did - 15th Aug, 1947. Shocking, innit? I'm not going into the details because this is not the right thread. If the bold is true, then you should explain why Jinnah was running after him - sometimes mollycoddling but most...

For what it's worth, here is the entire timeline from the US report (Annexure D) (NOTE: 'Time D' is Delta Time i.e. Afghanistan time, while 'Time Z' is Zulu Time.) 'HLZ' means Helicopter Landing Zone

Agreed. Cross-LoC/border terrorism will continue and adventurism like Kargil can still happen. Siachen like incident will however never happen again.

It is hardly amusing. What it reveals is the degree of moral decay that had set in Nixon administration. Nixon was not worried that a uniformed army was engaged in an orgy of genocide. He was worried that the PA had failed to do it secretly. Despicable.

Apparently, one high piest of Nuclear Non-proliferation, thinks that it is not something to scoff at or brush aside with a hand wave. (He, of course, uses deductive reasoning) The flow meters from South Africa, as mentioned in the article, was supplied by Gerard Wisser, who was himself a...

First of all, missed you sir. Second, So freaking true. Remember, intemperance is wisdom in today's India. EDIT: This post can be considered OT

Oh well...
