You didnt read actual history, did you? Apparently neither can you connect world events and how they shape things in big countries, let alone small ones! Netaji wasnt the man you so desperately idolize him to be. And that saying about enemy being a friend... thats all BS. Netaji, calling himself...

I am guilty of none of that. I am just stating facts here. The British were/are not idiots to simply leave a golden laying goose like India. Propaganda aside, there were a lot of reasons for the British to hand over power to Indians, to rule ourselves. Politicians derive their power from the...

If you look at the political landscape of the country then, Indian politicians were already being elected to the Indian parliament....and the local elected bodies had much more say in the day to day matters than the British crown or the parliament. With the 1935 act, Indians were already ruling...

Actually @kaykay is right. Since GRRM burrows heavily from history, mythology etc, many speculated that apparently Jon Snow is actually based on King Arthur. So like King Arthur's parentage, people speculate that Jon Snow is indeed Lyla Stark and Rhaegar Targyran's son and the true heir to the...

So you are going to believe a person who goes chasing after conspiracy theories and ghosts but not believe actual documented history? Netaji was a good leader in the congress party. He had differences of opinion with other leaders in the party and ended up resigning instead of playing politics...

Was it the Cathollic Church's official policy to target and kill Jews and Gypsies? Were majority of the Catholic churchs' people/employees involved in committing atrocities of Holocaust? So IMHO, your definition of 'genocide' is off the track. When you make such statements, we would like you to...

So do fairy tales explain everything then?

None of those "scientific facts" are scientific or facts!! You selectively mention only two processes by which multi drug resistant organisms evolve. Why dont you also consider spontaneous mutations and transfer of genetic material, adaption of already existent metabolic pathways to metabolize...

Yes. But the protection was not because they were worshiped, but because their numbers dwindled due to illegal poaching and this impacted the ecosystems adversely.

Just this one term, like Vajpayee's govt. I doubt they will be able to repeat the victory in the next elections. Place bets if you want. I have lots of followers on my twitter and facebook. LOOK I am popular and people love me!! Thats precisely what BJP is saying with those numbers!! Do those...

I was commenting about the tigers and elephants only. I knew the camel story.

Any idiot can join the party online. That means nothing. That is not real membership. What benefits do members get if they simply join online? How does it actually help the party? Nada! And history has an uncanny tendency to repeat itself. IF BJP sticks to strict and good governance and stops...

What malarkey! Killing of tigers and elephants is banned because they are endangered animals. Not becoz people worship them. They numbers are rapidly dwindling due to illegal poaching for tiger skin, bones and other parts and elephants tusks which fetch huge profits in the black market!

The electorate always speaks. They have previously spoken when after Vajpayee's tenure, L. K. Advani wanted to capitalize on "Shining India". BJP lost miserably. The irony of BJP at the national level is such that one person from the party can capture the nation's imagination for a short...

Duryodhana. No one likes him here? Karna wouldnt be one of the 'tragic heroes' of Mahabharatha, if it werent for Duryodhana. In a war for succession to the throne, Duryodhana did what any other princeling would have done during the period. And he was successful. And for that he is vilified...

Thats what scares me. A bunch of idiots and nutcases think that with BJP in power they have a free ride to impose their screwed up neo-con pseudo Hindutvavadi (without realizing what it actually means) will on the rest of the population. They forget that in 4 years, there will be another round...

How dare you? The ages old ideological conflict and the mutual hatred that they share with the Persians is much more deep felt and important than the silly ruthless murdering ISIS bandits rapidly taking over large swaths of land while committing horrifying atrocities. That and the Shia Houthis...

Idiot. I am an Indian. So why should I STFU? If you cannot face the degradation of our society in the name of so called 'culture' or 'values', I pity people like you. And, no, I will not STFU. Who are you to decide what "values" women should abide by? Who are you to decide what rules women...

No disrespect, but treating women as anything greater than others smacks of sexism. Whats wrong in treating them as equals? Constitution does guarantee the rights, but does it really translate into ground realities? Nope. One might 'place women on a pedestal' but will not respect them as equals...

Teaching values, in my book, means teaching kids equality. And from that comes respect. Why do you think the civil rights movement demanded equal rights? Why do you think women the world over, including in many oppressed countries, are demanding equality? Once you learn to respect another human...
