They're just sad individuals who do nothing but wait for an opportunity to jump on the 'bash Pakistan' bandwagon. A strong hatred exists unfortunately. It's not the first time, and won't be the last. Trolls will be trolls.

And I want a beachfront property in the Bahamas, but then I also have to be realistic and see if it's possible. The answer (sadly) is no. To Indian members, before you indulge in giving this credence and this spirals into a flame war, please note that this is a 'hundred or so' in a country of...

Yes, I'm aware of the development and progress it's made on the economic front. Is Gujarat undergoing a boom in part from the large remittances from their NRI's? What role are they playing in the development of the state? I take it real estate must be booming, are other areas also booming...

One thing that strikes me is the huge support and praise Modi receives from Indians, and especially NRI's (because many Gujarati's live abroad). What chance of him becoming the PM one day?

Good point, and one that shouldn't be overlooked. Even in the Chief Justice stand-off in May 2009, Kayani was personally involved as a mediator. Can you imagine the head of the army being involved in a civilian stand-off in any other democracy?! The Army is seen as the 'guardian of the nation'...

Trust me, we want it to succeed. I'm sure the board members are unanimous in that thought. But we give it time, and then look what we get. No one forgets the lost decade of the 90's, the corruption, the war between PPP and PML-N. Who was stopping that? The Army? It was a mess. The dancing on...

And at that point I stopped reading the 'charge sheet'...:coffee:

Yup, I caught him making that point, it was near the beginning of the program. Very pertinent indeed. I think because of poverty, and need to dedicate so much towards poverty relief, infrasture and development, it's hard to see how much the Govt can fund such sporting ventures and facilities...

There was a good debate on NDTV a couple of days back touching on the culture of sports in Australia, compared to India (and I can throw in Pakistan also). I only caught a few minutes though. A country of 22 million, yet so much success on the sporting field. Funding is clearly the difference...

Disappointing he couldn't go all the way, but congrats to the Indian boxer. The experience and stamina so talked about before this match, as well as the performance quite rightly had him as the strong favourite. Interesting to see where Haroon goes from here. Clearly the set-up within Pakistan...

Can you please summarise what was said? Or the main points? It would be quicker than watching through 50mins of video. Thanks in advance.

No one is glossing over Musharraf's achievements, it's the fact that his return will be met with stiff challenges that leads many to think is it worth the hassle? As it stands, he can shout about all those numbers, but those figures aren't making any cut through with the people who he needs...

Yay, he beat Selby! Wonder what the English have to say about that! :pakistan: Haroon Assured Of Medal In Commonwealth Games NEW DELHI (AP) ― Haroon Khan has scored a hard-fought victory to assure himself of a medal in the Commonwealth Games, where the younger brother of WBA world...

Well, there are internet ninjas out there who want to do nothing but spread hate. I hope that's who these guys are (a deranged minority), and not a true sample. I'm aware that our artists are embraced in India, and that is always heartwarming. I guess it's a case of letting those real...

No idea, but I know he's admired a great deal in India, and has appeared many times on shows etc. Atif is another, and I know these guys have a strong following. You just have to see the many positive comments on the Coke Studio YouTube pages from India to know our pop/rock music and artists...

Check out the hatred from Indians in the reader comments to what is a pretty positive article. Even pop singers aren't spared. Such a shame :frown:

Guys, to clear up some confusion, Haroon wanted to represent England. However, he was overlooked for whatever baffling reason. He's won all the tournaments, the Nationals, hell, he's even beaten the guy who was picked ahead of him!! Given he wants to turn professional sometime soon (within...

It will also make the English look like fools for rejecting him in the first place. A very strange decision. Let's hope their loss is our gain.

Hmmm, wonder how the Centre reacts to Omar's pretty controversial words, and even that in the State Assembly! The quotes in full: Omar had said, "J&K had not merged with the Union but acceded to it under an agreement. The Kashmir issue cannot be resolved by addressing development alone. It is a...

Because the civillian govt and the military are both singing from the same hymn sheet it seems. Both are in favour of the drone strikes, especially when we take key passages from Bob Woodward's recent book: Zardari: Hayden and his deputy, Stephen Kappes, had gone to meet with Zardari...
