Why do we get so worked about what the "west" thinks. Moreover, this obsession with the west's approval (or disapproval) robs the real issue of its due attention. Rape statistics for India are not credible. There is vast under-reporting of these instances as it is common practice to blame the...

I wonder if he will drop in at Islamabad as well. If he does, it will send mixed signals to the Indian establishment. But I, personally, just don't trust the US. I'm sure this would create a flutter in Moscow as well.

White House has just confirmed that Obama will be coming to India in Jan. Meanwhile, Modi has tweeted that Obama has been invited to be the Chief Guest for India's Republic Day celebrations on Jan 26th, 2015. This would be the first time that a US president would be gracing the R-Day Parade...

Read on my FB wall - SL just lost to Rohit Sharma by 13 runs...

What audacity...guys from BD (ranked 9th out of 9 mainstream cricket playing countries) offering expert "opinions" to team ranked first.

So...give the following some thought. You cited a link to establish that Indians in BD send home about USD 3.7 billion. Now the same link claims that BD plays host to about 500,000 illegal indians (as opposed to your claims of "millions"). This figure of 500,000 is further substantiated by...

Bless you...may there be many more like you...but the sad reality is - guys like you are a minority. What you says sounds logical but is bordering being naive. The friction between south asian nations is a product of complicated issues evolving over hundreds of years and there's no light at the...

My two cents - As @DRAY pointed out a while back, there are no issues with students being taught about Indian heritage, provided that they are taught under clearly marked subject heads of "hindu mythology". To confuse a student's mind with heavy doses of politically convenient half truths, in...

Aren't you over-reacting a bit? If you have an issue with the central govt employing Hindi as a means of communication (other than English), you seem to have woken up a little late. Isn't it already the norm for most ministries and central government agencies to have websites which are...

It's sad that "liberals" in India are using this instance for grandstanding and are putting on display their "secular" credentials, by backing the Kashmiri lads. What the Kashmiris did might not be illegal, but are still violative of the locals' sensibilities. India and Pakistan have had a...

Bangladesh plays cricket?!

Heheh...ignorance, it appears in your case, is bliss. http://www.elsevierbi.com/~/media/Supporting%20Documents/Pharmasia%20News/2012/September/IPAB%20Order%20Bayer%20Natco%20Sept%20%202012.pdf Check out the link. This is one of the orders passed by the IPAB at the interim stage, when Bayer...

Well...I guess Arthur C. Doyle must have had guys like you in mind when he said - there is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

Are you dumb OR are you dumb?? The article and my fellow countrymen speak of "outside influence" in context of military presence - manifested in case of Maldives through the proposed SOFA. China's investments in SL are strictly commercial in nature. Apples and oranges?!

One of my fellow countrymen had earlier, in this thread, remarked that you guys can get away with calling the Sun a satellite of Earth. Looking at your comment, I can see how. Hum ya Tum?!?!? Bohot ho gaya?! School se kab paas ho kar nikele beta? Heheheh...please remind us of the last time pak...

My most sincere apologies for having hurt your sensibilities. PAKISTAN....there - an all caps version this time. Hope you feel better. I did not intend to suggest that India exercises influence in Pak. But was merely arguing against your unsolicited advice to India to look the other way (at...

I apologize if I came across as chauvinistic. I get your logic of each country addressing its own issues. But only if things were that simple. Unfortunately for India, grave security issues confronting pak also have consequences for india, by way of potential for proliferation of the streaks...

Silly..you are. The number "65" might have excited you but the extent, intensity and scope of the supposed "terror" groups is suspect. Here are some numbers that ought to help you rethink. In 2013, terrorism related violence caused losses of 181 lives in India. This, as opposed to 5379...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't Sardar Patel dead-set against the RSS? If that was the case, you gotta love the irony, here.

Tu-quoque is a well established logical fallacy. Pak still has no locus.
