Agree with the article on Nepal.

US would never admit that they invited RS.RS would never admit that US invited him. Obviously neither party wants publicly to be seen as undermining Pakistan's democracy. This is the handicap of a visiting Army chief. He cannot meet any US lawmakers publicly or may be even officially. But it...

I disagree. If we are to accept that people will die anyway in insurgency, more number of actors which are hostile to each other is a good thing for government. Desertion rates is not affected by the number of factions. Negotiations with a split enemy is easier. You get to pick which one to talk...

Heard of the term Amir-ul-Momineen?

Lol. Raheel Sharif is trying to imitate Modi. Modi goes on world tours a lot. Raheel Sharif started the same. So much so that Modi gets poked by Indians calling him Non-Resident PM. I wonder how a non-resident Army Chief would work out.

Congratulations Raja bhai. Girls or boys? EDIT: Saw your post above. Girls!! May God bless you and your family. :D

I posted a plain fact. It has nothing to do with opposition. I don't think reforms will be affected much by any Indian Government. Arun Shourie's remarks might be caustic, but he was right when he said BJP's economic agenda is exactly same as UPA's. Modi just added more energy to it with words...

BJP will loose 2 more Rajya Sabha seats. This reduces the seat strength they gained in Maharashtra. Maharashtra +4 Haryana +3 Jharkhand +2 J&K +1 Delhi -1 Bihar -2

The age limit to become an officer in India is too low. And the standards are very high. Considering everyone in India is running after engineering these days, new graduates hardly have 6-18 months to figure out whether they want to join Army. And Army officers make very less compared to an IT...

Nepal is simmering now. Non-Madhesis are pi$$ed of with Madhesis. Indian Government is acting like a bully. IMO India should not take sides. Madhesi protestors are taking India's tacit support as advantage in their talks with Nepali government. We are losing sympathy with Nepalis. India should...

You are not asking for a wall to be taken down. By simply asking to eliminate reservations with no mitigation measures for equity in society, you are asking for traffic lanes to be erased. Some people are going to get trampled. And its the same people who keep getting trampled over generations...

When was the last time this happened, that you are talking about? The Afghan army can obviously defeat a divided enemy more easily. Today there is a viable Afghan state with nationalism transcending ethnic divisions. Not like the old years.

When you think you are treating them on the same scale, you are actually not. For a casteist person(or even a progressive non-casteist person from upper caste) who has contacts in all fields of work(because his caste peers and other people who will be willing for a quid-pro-quo), buying his son...

The problem is that there is no simple way of killing caste system. Even if you kill caste this moment, you cannot remove the anomaly that a few people over generations had an upbringing of privilege. To weigh them on the same scale as lower castes, is inherently unjust. Nobody needs caste...

Trading caste name is asking for bogus equivalence. Try asking to grow their kid in a lower caste household with no privileges. They think caste name is all they got over the lower caste people. There is centuries of privilege filled lineage which created opportunities and powerful contacts...

Well you missed the important part. There will be fratricide among these yahoos. The splinter which negotiates with government and settles will face more wrath than the government itself from the other group. And government will obviously negotiate with the better group as a way of rewarding...

These people!:hitwall: He meant to sit and have a conversation. Not to force feed beer to a Muslim teenager.

I will simply say I disagree, for the fear of blowing off your fuse.
