Although irrelevant and probably OT, Dr Allama Iqbal was first generation convert. Some authors however claim that their family had converted much earlier. One thing for sure is that they were Kashmiri Pandits before conversion. Khuswant Singh once wrote in Telegraph India: 'There are...

Given that the likelihood of that happening in Pakistan is even more, it might just happen to you even before you step your foot in India.

Without going into the details, the reason why India Inc. couldn't buy high end foreign cars pre 91, was primarily because of forex cap. A person was allowed to use only a limited amount of forex which was grossly inadequate to buy a car like BMW etc. For high expenditure, meant for personal...

Wow, I used to think that only Pakistanis have this 'I-am-Arab-too' disease. Btw, my local Trinomool muscleman is a Bhuyian. And he is a Hindu.

Here is something that Baba bhakts won't like. --------------------------------------------------- NEW DELHI: Maverick he is and Baba Ramdev proved it once again early this morning at Ramlila Maidan as he jumped from the dais and melted into the crowd, after which it took almost an hour for...

That is plausible. And yes, horrendous handling of situation.

I was watching CNN-IBN. Anyway, he was not arrested.

Sure. How about a confirmation now.

Everything is/was wrong with this whole circus. People were removed, sure. But was Babaji too? I am told by a member that he was arrested. But if he was, then he should be in jail not on a plane. That is violation of Indian Penal Code.

If that's the case, then I stand corrected. But I saw Babaji jumping off the stage on some of his followers shoulders and then he was carried away by them. I didn't see police doing that. Would like to see a news link, if available. Thanks in advance

What I find is sad, is many rational members of this board are refusing to see the vacuity of this so called 'satyagraha'. If Babaji had even an ounce of integrity and of course, conviction in his 'agitation', he wouldn't have fled like he has done. Gandhiji never fled. MLK never fled. Mandela...

GoI shouldn't have negotiated with Babaji. That wrongly legitimized many of his puerile demands in many of his followers' mind.

US hasn't opened a single door. US has merely arm twisted the Swiss, which only US can do. I know you are not the irrational one, but this 'soopah powah' inebriation has got to go. The truth is, those monies are gone forever. Once money leaves Indian shores, its gone forever. There is nothing...

Good that you realize how empty those demands are.

Right. Now would you be a good boy and reply to this question: How does Indian law bind an European country to India.

Which part of 'unless Swiss authorities allow India to even take a peek' did you not understand? India passing a bill/law doesn't have any impact on anybody outside India.

Babaji is learning the hard way that it is one thing to lecture and make tall claims from those lofty platforms and it is another thing being a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King or a Nelson Mandela. Last seen, Babaji jumping off his stage and being carried away by his followers, then on to his...

Very easy to say, demand and accuse others of not demanding, but if you pause for a second and think, you would realise how empty these demands are. How can India confiscate something on which India doesn't even have legal authority? How do you confiscate money in Swiss accounts, unless Swiss...

Sometimes the messenger assumes a greater significance than the message. If Hitler started talking about humanity, would be able to see the message? Remember: Ceaser's wife must not only be innocent, she must also look innocent.

To all the hot heads who can't think for themselves. This whole so called agitation was just another of his dog and pony show. His demands are ridiculous and one would probably need the Constitution to be amended. Anyway, you people have been had. Again...
