My two cents: I loved PDF around the 2008 to 2012 era, the mods of that era made the tough decision to keep things very civil. It was just after the Mumbai attacks incident and there was a lot of activity but the members of that era were amazing and so was the discourse. PDF of today is like the...

Pakistan doesn't have a sizeable market or anything to offer, why would India trade with their arch enemies? Not sure if there is a business case here

Surprised how your victorian era thoughts fit inside such a tiny cranium. I doubt you'd ever accomplish anything in this sad life of yours that would come close to the meaning of this soldier's sacrifice.

Do you know that Pakistanis and Indians here in the US are united in their response to this incident? One day you will crawl out of your bubble and realize how skewed your world view was.

I am aware of the history of their immigration. They have been a model immigrant society and I respect that. This forum brings the worst out in people so I take most comments with a pinch of salt. The person I was quoting, for example, seemed like they were venting out as their posts were all...

That kind of thinking got you the 1965 "victory".

As is typical of a lot of threads on this forum, you are presenting half of the picture. There is a backlash (not condoning it at all) to an incident that happened a day back...

Why don't you elevate your station in life and work with asian/white people? Leave the blue-collared slaving roles to us Indians.

Mate, that's an oversimplified take on what's happening. The entire startup ecosystem in Germany for example, is based on copycat startups that create localized versions of successful silicon valley business models. The Dutch hate it (the Dutch Royal family and the govt in the Netherlands push...

Give it time. There are a lot a startups here in the US that have Indian founders, a lot of PE/VC money floating around that has Indian patners backing these funds. I am advising a startup run by an Indian and a Taiwanese American, if you are tapped into founder networks you'd realize that...

Your experiences may be true but are anecdotal. I have seen how Indians are a big driving force in the entrepreneurial ecosystems in the US and in cities like Amsterdam and Berlin. Choosing the entrepreneurial path, in my opinion, goes in the opposite direction to subservience. There is some...

I have lived in Australia and now in the US. We are very accommodating of each other. In my school, we had the India Business Club which was running cultural and business events for the massive Indian student contingent. We realised that the Pakistani students, who were celebrating the same...

Off topic, it’s heartening to know that a lot brown people have representation in US/UK. If only India and Pakistan solve their issues(necessary otherwise the focus would be on competing for offices of power to bring the other party down, this diluting the potential of working together), we can...

I think there may be an opportunity for a reset for our region somewhere. Israel and Saudia, and numerous other examples exist of world events presenting opportunities for caustic rivalries to find the scope to cool off.

That’s a great post. I have nothing to add to what you have written, except that hopefully we will reorient to our core constitutional values once a suitable opponent fills the vacuum that the congress party has left. Pakistanis such as yourself run the risk of judging a huge swath of people and...

Can’t really quantify the degrees to which the societies are different, directionally they are in the same wrong quadrant of hatred. https://www.dawn.com/news/1235679 I would disagree based on anecdotal evidence, you are free to brandish your opinion of course.

There were times in the early 2000s where a lot of Indians and Pakistanis would often display such gestures of solidarity and friendship. Not a lot of room for such gestures in our societies any more unfortunately.

Sorry is this thread meant to critique capitalism?

So no falsehoods then just a business man trying to do his job?

Can anyone present a few objective facts as to why this movie is based on falsehoods? Thanks
