Well right now in power is a Hindu nationalist party. When I opened up a newspaper it seemed everyday there some sort of comments made against secular folk and other minorities.
It is political posturing. But India always had unorganised pogroms caused by a misstep.
Even before the Mughals...
Again no offense intended, but I sometimes think Lankans remind me of Goans in their attitude sometimes.
There were blunders on the Indian side in regards to Lanka. Hopefully India can be a big market for Lankan businessmen in the future.
I kind of wished India remained Buddhist or became...
I don't want to be seen as anti-rajapaksa, nor do I pretend I know anything about Sri Lankan politics. But I think peace time requires another leader than a war leader.
I don't know if anyone in Sri Lanka that is proficient in administration and is relatively clean.
Sri lanka's development is...
I do find it curious that fundamentalists of all religions have this 'hatred' of secular systems.
More people with your outlook are needed in our region.
I think I did see a irfan Baloch comment on an article about Indian school kids conducting prayers for Peshawar victims.

I did. They expressed to me concerns about wiping minorities in India out.
I counselled them to talk to and learn from the Islamic state, Taliban and boko haram. If you want to do religious cleansing right, you have to learn from the experts.
Hindu extremists are also novices in techniques of...
Also why isn't anyone criticising his remark that Adam the father of humanity landed in India?
Did he say that? Really?
So I should follow the faith of this intellectual Titan? Sorry, I like my booze, my pork and pre-marital sex
Whenever I look at successful societies bar nations with immense resources they have relied on science and technology.
India doesn't have immense oil reserves or rare earth deposits to escape being a theocracy.
Islam and Islamic societies are stagnant, western societies and advanced eastern...
I do wish India did cut down on existing arsenal. Instead we need more nuclear reactors for energy production.
If anyone has an effective counter argument I am willing to listen and learn
I wished the audience didn't applaud. There is far too much blood that has been shed in god's name.
I wonder how the divine views all that has been done in his/her name
