Sorry, my bad. I was a bit sloppy there. I meant English schools as in schools in England. I should have said British schools.

Something I never understand is the motivation for ordinary people to defend corrupt elites. These elites don't give a flying fig for the ordinary people yet the same ordinary people continue to worship and defend them, not recognising that they are the ones who are ultimately being robbed...

I'm quite enjoying the mental gymnastics, whataboutery and flimsy excuses. I wouldn't have expected anything less.

Best rant I've seen for a while.

People get confused between "a truth" and "the truth". In the end we all seem to believe our own truth, the one that we, for whatever reason, believe in, without bothering to explore what the real truth might actually be. It is only the truly open minded and aware that are prepared to...

Hijab ban in Indian schools then, if you're being pedantic. Why though, what does it achieve apart from driving wedges between and harassing a minority community? The hijab is even allowed in English schools, for God's sake. Where a skirt is prescribed as school uniform, then girls from...

Hot air, as usual. They'd need a full scale invasion and that's not going to happen. Obviously.

What we have to remember is that social liberation is a process and not an event. A girl like Muskan, who has been brought up in a conservative household and religious community is not going to be able to shed her conservative thinking just because she is going to school or college. The...

Actually, I totally understand and agree with your point but we can only judge the product we have before us. Currently what we have before us is an ineffectual caricature of what a progressive Islam should have been 1400 or so years after its inception. Unfortunately what we see before us is...

What it proves is that religious bigots , regardless of which religion they follow, are two cheeks of the same backside.

It doesn't faze the electorates as a whole of either India or Pakistan. In fact most people admire these gangsters and hold them in the highest esteem.

I think it's a wonderful thing to do.

Who's we?

Islam, my friend, has been mutilated beyond all recognition. No one, least of all the "Muslims", can agree what Islam actually is anymore let alone your "for all times, all places" trope. The Muslims who make up Islam have distanced themselves from the core values of inclusivity, forgiveness...

Secularism really is the way to go for both India and Pakistan. It would change the lives of untold millions for the better and usher in an era of stability. Fundamentalist religion is a millstone around the neck of both countries.

Bald men fighting over a comb that no one is sure exists in the first place, and if it does, no one knows what it looks like and what it was meant to be used for. It'd be quite funny if it wasn't so tragic. What do you think of the pizza the girl students in Karnataka are being forced to eat...

You'll have to do better than that.

Just because the DGISPR doesn't announce it in his press conferences, it doesn't necessarily mean that ISI is sleeping.

Occupying forces don't generally need a warrant, a gun is usually enough.

Yes, he's doing a great job but he is one man. Why is the rest of society so muted in the face of these injustices and corruption. Why is there no outcry and demonstrations in his support from the general public. If the government puts rupee onto the price of a litre of petrol, people are out...
