As the saying goes, the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges. So you tell me Being athletic is sort of a common denominator now across roles in a team. Your previous statement I thought implied that the Pakistani team had better athletes for which I don't enough...

Athletes is stretching it, you meant bowlers?

These matches are boring now, miss the nail biters of the 90s. Hopefully the next one would not be another one-sided affair

How does the economics of fixing matches work? The ones we lose aren't fixed cus money is rationalized based on some logic?

Without drawing comparisons with any other nation, our defence preparedness is a mess due to excessive red-tapism and corruption, it's common knowledge. Lack of a long-term vision, insincere half-arse efforts in meeting goals with tangible development, Over-ambitious targets, lack of private...

Most hindus/muslims who didn't move did so out of economic reasons. They were to poor to move out from the hinterland. The poor ones in states close to the border could move in relative ease. We weren't there in those dark years, so no point thinking ill of our forefathers who endured A muslim...

Nope. The problem is not in the quality of jobs, it is in the minimum acceptable wages that go down every time a Bihari or a Mexican shows up. As hardworking as the UP/Biharis are, they have seen abject poverty and are tolerant of a really bad standard of living, which drives them to accept...

It doesn't seem far-fetched to assume that these religious parties have a deobandi common denominator with India based religious organizations. There might be no RAW involvement in this and the calls were made to sister religious organizations in India. bareily has some of these orgs. head quartered

These 'evangelists' have a price point, paisa feko. Their phoney self-righteousness corrects only one religion and turns a complete blind eye towards the most peaceful of them all. All these Nehruvian checks and balances have emboldened newly acquired customers for these abrahamic religions to...

wait so now you realize that Mumbai needs city planning? laughable. Mumbai is a case study on how not to let uncontrolled urbanization destroy a city. Cities in India are a mess and only pointing at illegal hawkers is myopic. Most of your shop-owners are marwadis who get along fine everywhere...

Very well put. Even rationalists are pussies when it comes to attacking religions. They target hinduism cus it's easy to get away from that. Islam and Christianity will unleash the peace-brigand so the pansies back-out

Do you honestly think that people on this thread will have a civil discussion with you, an Indian?

Couldn't agree more, a larger impact was made through social reforms followed by the economic reforms which were received better in a relatively less-corruptible society. This requires a long term vision that sadly the Indian leaders have lacked.

I am more critical of the Indian growth story than most people here on this forum mate so let's drop the euphemisms. Culture-wise our countries started of as old, superstitious, resistant to change, pestered with foreign influences and xenophobic to foreign ideas. While China never had to worry...

You chose the most ambiguous and poorly understood jargon to describe the difference. Cultures are cultivated over time, has your culture remained the same since the civil war days? Classic clan mentality in a majorly unambitious, illiterate, superstitious, orthodox populace is how I'd describe...

On principle he can't employ a turbaned Sikh and a Hindu with a tikka as well. As long as his organization bans all religious symbolism and doesn't discriminate against one, it should not raise any eyebrows. We need more of such patriots in our nation. This is what true secularism should...

Bro, India and Pakistan are stupid countries. Democracy is such a waste in the hands of stupid people. China wasn't different when they started, CCP saved China from falling to the whims and fancies of it's illiterate masses. Fact of the matter is that we need a small set of patriots operating...

Two points: 1. Good analogy in terms of the parallel terms used - Virgin = Atheist and Prostitute = Respective Religions 2. If it wasn't clear enough, Atheist Hindu= an Atheist born in a Hindu household, same for other types of Athesits mentioned in my post

Nice! Hope the price goes up and we start selling all the gold we have hoarded over eons in India!

You read an article which describes violence being subjected to 'cowardice Hindus' and you use the term 'cannon fodder for the cowardice Hindus' to describe it? You have the concept all mixed up. Pray tell who was the cannon fodder in the Uighur riots? Lessons to Sikhs from TTP are in order...
