    PM Modi smiles to Vande Mataram chants at UNESCO Hall in Paris

    That was not Subramaniam Swamy but a facebook page making fun of him. Stop pretending to be Indian and change your flag to green.

    Dalit organisations to eat beef in public opposing beef ban

    They will do that in India when the English tell the queen to duck herself and start believing that all people are born equal and there is no royalty. You do not live in India - and hence cannot relate to the events. Brahmins dominating dalits is a myth - if anything it works the other war around.

    Democracy, Capitalism, Corruption and Bankruptcy

    It takes time for countries to build a solid structure to tackle corruption. The US had similar issues till about 50 years back. Pakistan is a young country that's been through a lot of instability over its existence. As education level slowly increases among your population and judiciary is...

    Democracy, Capitalism, Corruption and Bankruptcy

    As far as I remember, China has equal issues with corruption - so does current day Russia and previously Soviet and the eastern bloc and several of the Latin American countries run by dictatorship - and oh, North Korea. Democracy and corruption are not linked.

    Lakhvi, a free man for now

    You are confusing "certain elements within Pakistan" with "all of Pakistan". You're putting words into my post. If you guys have a love affair with Lakhvi and Saeed after the nonsense that's happened in your country in the last 5 years, that's your headache. We've done well controlling...

    The Propaganda War - Is Pakistani media and ISI doing enough?

    Opportunity and equality will ensure everything else is ignored. People making money through hard work and improving their standard of living quite don't care about other rubbish that goes on. Freedom of speech and economic development are highly correlated (perhaps with the exception of China)...

    The Propaganda War - Is Pakistani media and ISI doing enough?

    This would be a very short sighted view. Freedom of expression, speech and free media has done more to bring peace and multiculturalism to the world than social engineering and out right fascism. Running a society with the idea of wanting to win what's perceived as an eventual war is a recipe...

    Lakhvi, a free man for now

    As good as the Pakistani judicial body may be, they are subject to the evidence presented by the prosecutors - who obviously failed to make a proper case here, probably under the influence of ISI. Quoting the BBC: Lakhvi being out will hurt Pakistan more than India but certain elements in...

    February IIP growth at 5% versus -2% YoY, fastest pace in nine months

    The economic turnaround and overall management so far has been quite impressive. BJP should limit its members talking garbage on TV which clouds its achievements so far.

    India's rich temples may open gold vaults for Narendra Modi

    Quoting your own post :confused: We now have electronic credit - which does away the need for having gold. Yes the world economy must be left in the hands of religious institutions and their supporters. I agree.

    India's rich temples may open gold vaults for Narendra Modi

    Real Rolling Gold Returns compared to Stocks — Visualizing Economics For the period 1976-2012, the average returns were stocks = 6.7% and gold = 2.5%. This is turning silly. Quoting intrinsic value again: Intrinsic value (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In finance, intrinsic...

    India's rich temples may open gold vaults for Narendra Modi

    Value is different than "intrinsic value". Did you bother reading or trying to understand my post other than trying to make your own assumptions about what I posted?

    Thank you for taking this to a personal level. Check out: Intrinsic value (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "In finance, intrinsic value refers to the value of a company, stock, currency or product determined through fundamental analysis without reference to its market value" Why...

    India's rich temples may open gold vaults for Narendra Modi

    See, a lot of the money received by Church and Mosques is not in the form of gold locked up under a pillow. They are in cash or other assets that find its way back into the economy as invest able assets. Besides, I don't want this arguement to dwindle into "you ate my cheese but not his" sort of...

    India's rich temples may open gold vaults for Narendra Modi

    Yes, this must be equally applicable for all religious institutions. That's quite irrelevant to the broader issue here. Historically, building temples was a way of generating economic activity since it employed several people who were able to spend their income on other products which...
