Sir this line did not wash when your irritating foreign minister spouted it. It surely doesn't coming from you. He was a naturalised American citizen. As recently as a year old at that. You may choose to dabble in technicalities and semantics but the fact of the matter that has hit the world...
The really scary part of this whole thing is the sheer 'normalness' of the guy. His profile could be like that of any Pakistani American on this very forum for that matter. It may not even be stretching things too far to wrap our heads around the fact that he could very well have been part of...
I have never understood this common refrain amongst Pakistanis here and elsewhere. Why is India's acceptance of you so all important for you? Does it or will it in any way change your own perception of yourselves? So we do not accept the need for the creation of a separate Pakistan in the first...
The Indian public is by and large a seasoned electorate after more than 6 decades of democratic process. As the public evolves, so do their leaders, cause the polity is of the people, by the people, and for the people (themselves included of course). If you do not keep up with the times and take...
Correction. Bharatiya Janta Party is not a Hindu party. It loosely translates into Indian People's Party. Please do not confuse the sociocultural tenets of Hindutva to a Hindu religious identity. There are MANY Muslims in the BJP ranks. Post Godhra. Post Ayodhya. They would not have been there...
The question is not about whether India still needs a Hindu Nationalist Party? The question rather should be can India afford not having a Hindu Nationalist Party? I say no we cannot. A Congress with unbridled power will expose India to all that is wrong with the Congress, and has always been...
I don't know what the delay or confusion is all about. We have given him more than a fair chance. More than he offered any of his victims. Finish him off now without delay. The Kandahar hijacking has taught us that its the best to finish the deed quickly and remove the source of any temptation...
Kashmir already has more autonomy than any non-Kashmiri Indian wants it to have. What's the deal here? Its one of our states yet other Indians cannot own/buy land there. Why? Why are we delaying the return of Hindu Pandits back to their ancestral land, enforced and protected at the end of the...
No elected government has the right to 'give' any part of India to anyone. Any decision of this magnitude would necessarily need to have a complete consensus of the people of India. We are not talking about passing a Finance Bill here. We can keep conjecturing on what might have happened. But...
A happy offshoot of the so-called virginity industry is the vaginal tuck industry where the vaginal wall muscles are snipped and tucked and tightened, much like a face or breast or buttock lift, to rejuvenate a multiparous vagina thus contributing to more enjoyable sex for both partners. Its...
And vice versa. Point here is that its a fallacy to think that the only good doctors in India are western-trained. Not for nothing is the USMLE dominated by Indians year after year. Our doctors are good and like doctors the world over they know no nationality or religion. Plus for a poor nation...
Just when you feel that you've seen and heard everything, an article such as this comes along and forces you to re-plumb the depths of human absurdity. I do not know Mr. Faiz Lalani personally, but he sounds much like the scrawny little kid always picked on by the school bully. Unhappily for us...
The media in India can hardly be faulted on the issue of sweeping things under the carpet. If anything, the media has grown into a watchdog of civil society. The masses do not live in a vacuum. They live in the same country their media and their leadership is part of. They are more clued in to...
Please feel free to come back to the debate in a less arrogant and abusive frame of mind when you learn to appreciate the difference between local heroes and international greats.:coffee: The names you have mentioned would not find a place in most of our top Ranji teams, if you have been...
Dude why are you getting all abusive and personal here? Was it something I said? Your country is too dangerous for any country to risk sending its team to play you. Your team too ordinary to warrant invitation by any of the top cricket playing nations. Why take out that frustration on us? I mean...
I wouldn't hold my breath for that bro. Leaving aside the politics between our countries, Pakistan just isn't a first rate cricket side anymore and wouldn't be high up on any future tour calender for any of the big names in world cricket anymore, be it India or South Africa or Australia. Heck...
Stripped to complete brasstacks, the best incentive to stop us killing one another is for the other to be more useful to us alive. Besides the omnipresent fear of being killed ourselves of course, before the nuclear parity chest thumpers jump in with the usual rhetoric. Is it not time that we...
