I've been in some of these places and they are just wonderful!! Almora is a bit hot during this time, but the living root bridge in Meghalaya and Alleppy-Cochin backwaters is simply awesome!! Here are some of the places I found breathtaking that interested travelers to India may consider a...

Did Marx exist when Islam first emerged as a religion? If not then why are you so desperate to fit the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) into what Marx has said so many centuries later? Whom do you consider a true Prophet then? Muhammad (pbuh) or Marx? If you are a true Muslim you should...

This is one of the main problems I believe that we have in our subcontinent that we need to come out of. Religion makes us escape responsibility, when in reality we still fail to cope up with true "modernity". In South Asia, we still drive around cars with pictures of gods and goddesses or holy...

What is a "Muslim" modernist? The concept itself is oxymoronic same as a "Hindu" modernist or anything else. Either you are a Muslim or you are "Modern" in the true sense accepting Rationality as the One and Only value by which you live your life. The moment you are trying top fit your religion...

Such secularism Much wow!! Jinnah would have been proud!! :pakistan: Hopefully in India there won't come a stage when Pravin Togadia will have to take on the responsibility to guarantee the safety of mosques and Muslims!! :disagree:

"Indians" were successful in imposing Urdu on "Pakistanis" and made them give up their own beloved mother tongues that were spoken in the region for generations, in what is now "Pakistan" :lol: whereas poor Pakistanis got kicked out of Bangladesh trying to do the same thing there :D On a...

Yes on the aspect of partition I feel surprised how most Indians conveniently forget that the idea of partition was first proposed by Hindu Mahasbha and Bengali "Bhadrolok" middle class of Bengal, so that interests of these dominant groups won't be subdued due to British reforms which allowed...

I don't deny the existence of Pakistan as a modern nation state. You wanted it. You got it. End of deal! I don't also deny the role of the British in giving shape to both of these nations as they exist today. I will go even further and state that what you're defining as "Hindu" today is also...

Dude, what you are doing is looking at yourself from the eyes of an European. It's known as Orientalism. Google up the term. It's a very common flaw on part of us South Asians especially those who were colonized, to look at ourselves from the outside without knowing where you actually belong...

lol, they are like medieval Muslim scholars who translated Greek texts to learn about the sciences and philosophies. :lol:

Please define to me Jinnah's "race". Hint : search for the name Premjibhai “Meghji” Thakkar. I think you you shouldn't take up "race" as a serious classification as the so called "race" sciences which may have been valid to legitimize colonial rule is baseless in the modern world. The Moplahs...

Arey bhai how can "Indians" be indifferent to your so called Arabs, Turks, Iranians/Persians culture when our Gandhi started his political career in India with the Khilafat Movement? Going by your logic even the 'Ataturk' who ended Abdulhamit II's so called pan Islamic "Caliphate" is more...

The identity of Pakistan itself is based on Islam so it's no surprise that Pakistanis see themselves as Muslims first. But the impact which the Pakistan movement had in "secular" India is also quite immense and many Indian Muslims also see themselves as Muslims first, Indians later. But this...

Have you hanged this Pakistani RAW agent yet? He is seen here singing and dancing (Tauba Tauba! Mughal ruler Aurangzeb would have beheaded him and Gen. Zia ul Haq would have him whipped for this only!) with guns sponsored by RAW, in the RAW sponsored film Phantom. Also there is an evil...
