I don't mean disrespect, but please don't brush it under the carpet as merely a call for prayer when it is NOT. How is it just a call for prayer when you use that call to denigrate every other belief (including those that don't believe in any nonsense) as false and as impostors? Would you...

Are you seriously asking me how it matters? If somebody abuses your religious practices in a language that you don't understand on a continuous basis hundreds of times a day (number of mosques in your area multiplied by 5 times a day on all days of the year, year after year, every year), does...

I tell you what. I am all for abolishing usage of loud speakers by all communities - if at all such an agreement can be reached. But that will never happen since you use it essentially as show of dominance in any given area, don't you? Azaan may sound harmless or even melodious for a believer...

Yup, I too wonder that many times! Why do the "peace-loving" people coming out of their "peace-loving" place of worship pick up stones or weapons immediately after they exit the building? So much so that Fridays after prayer times are usually the most tense days in many communally sensitive...

The irony of political polarization is that Muslims (and Christians, for that matter) have always been ALWAYS polarized and voted as a bloc ALWAYS. But that was all halal since they would decide who to vote for, after a Friday prayer? Only when Hindus, who almost never voted as a bloc...

Same here. I stopped reading too much into such tokenisms from either side (although it is rare to see even such tokenism from the other side). Besides, how does their tokenism even help when they pronounce that their G*d is the only G*d and everybody else is just an impostor 5 times a day and...

Or better still - how about hellfires finding him in his den in M'bad/Skardu? That would be a nightmare for these so-called freedom fighters.

Noble effort! :tup:

Didn't know you followed Indian politics this closely.

You forgot to include the suspect-in-chief - @Ashfaq321 But then, everybody knows deep within that these are mere hit & run tactics! You throw enough muck and hope that some of it sticks. Even if none of it sticks, their target audience would have already bought their snake oil. If that wasn't...

Agreed, but I think OP is talking about desalination plants that are integrated with the Nuclear plants - which offer much higher efficiency since they make use of the heat and steam generated as a byproduct of the Nuclear plant. Since the same company that is building Kudankoolam Nuclear power...

You do realize that the middlemen (by state-sanction through APMC laws), actually do jack up the prices and the consumers do end up paying higher prices anyway, right? I am only saying that we need to eliminate the middlemen and thereby let farmers sell directly to consumers and get all...

This is exactly what I have wondered for a long time! Every politician and his party worth their salt, swears by the farmers but how come so little has been done to rid the farmers of their misery at the hands of APMC's? I too have seen (a little) poor farmers exploited by the middlemen - as...

Is this guy for real? Comprehension problems?

Like I said, I can't take anybody seriously when they declare saffron t*rror is as bad as ****** ******. Mind you, I do not even defend what these bunch of goons do in the name of protecting cows. We could do well without them and I wish the LEA's do what these clowns claim to do. But there is a...

I find it hard to take you seriously when you equate cow vigilantes and other generally accepted bad practices with the stuff that passes for a normal daily life of a 'believing' state. If you think cow vigilantes are bad, take a look at wherever in the world, they have a 'say'. They make cow...

Don't you think that the eventual demographic shift, that you are alluding to, wouldn't even leave you with a choice to debate - since by then you will be forced to 'believe' and failure to do so will lead to a lot of misery and a painful death? Think again if you think we will have another...

Perception management is the least of India's worries. Being a developing country, we have far more pressing issues than to worry about how others will perceive us. Besides, there is no better perception building exercise than becoming economically stronger - a la China. Every thing else...

I don't think the expats in Qatar were in any immediate danger whatsoever. In fact, India is being seen to help Qatar more by breaking the blockade than helping its expats directly. And, it is not just the Indian expats that make up the numbers in Qatar. So it would have been the responsibility...

Yup, our one and only goal should be ruthless pursuing of self interest! Period. Would have been wiser to stay clear of the controversy and let the dust settle before making any moves. Screw all those Gulf countries who have been spewing this venom of hatred and caused hundreds of thousands...
