I think that you are either misinformed on what’s happening in Kashmir or are using the definition
of “civilisational annihilation” loosely.

yeah, bro. i am the one misinformed. sure. the israel model in palestine is world renowned for peaceful civilisational annihilation, and india seeks to apply it in Kashmir and abrogating Article 370 is the first step. /s

In video posted by filmmaker, India’s consul general to US seems to advocate Israel-like settlements of Kashmiri Hindus.

This situation was on cards. India's primitive unhygienic culture coupled with the low IQ of the people make them vulnerable to misinformation and an easy hotspot for this pandemic.

For almost a decade experts have been writing/saying about India's culture of open defecation, lack of hygiene and poor sanitation issues but Indians always disregarded them as Western propaganda or conspiracy against India.

Depends on what you are focusing on. There are all kinds of people everywhere. If you think that every Pakistani (especially on a military forum) should develop empathy towards us then I’d suggest that you spend time on some of our Indian forums. The vitriol is common, the distribution of empathy is pretty similar as well.

That’s exactly what my point is.
Honestly, a very rough spread of mutual empathy (based on just what I come across on the internet) across the populations of India and Pakistan looks like this:
1) 40 to 50% - don’t care about each other and are agnostic to politics. They switch between being moderately friendly and being moderately aggressive towards each other, depending on geo-political circumstances
2) 20 to 30% - make the most noise, troll and give the impression that they represent the vast majority of the population. They are very angry and irritable, almost to the point of being irrational.
3) ~20% - are pacifists and cling onto hope that we will find a way to coexist. They also switch their tonality depending on situation but not by a big margin.
The spread keeps changing as well over time, but the buckets remain the same. Category 1) feeds caregories 2) and 3) over a period of time. 2) and 3), depending on which hits critical mass first, will determine our mutual outcomes.

That's the Indian nature, they never miss an opportunity to curse Pakistan, even recently the low life Indian media was gloating.....''Pakistan Marey Ga Corona Ki Maut''........well the whole world got effected by this but guess who is suffering the most.
Tragedy is people in the Subcontinent are still not taking this seriously, some think it's just a gimmick by world powers to subdue smaller Nations while others convince their citizens that it can be cured by consuming Cow Urine......hope and pray that sanity prevails.

Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson have joined fast bowler Andrew Tye in flying home from the Indian Premier League in the wake of that country's rapidly escalating COVID-19 emergency.

India recorded 349,691 new infections yesterday, its sixth consecutive day of rising case numbers, with suggestions the real figures are much higher.

Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting says the situation outside the IPL bubble is "quite grim" amid reports other players are considering leaving the tournament early to avoid being locked out of Australia.

Steve Smith, David Warner and Pat Cummins are amongst the other Australians currently in India.

Despite the horrific scenes being played out around India, the IPL is continuing in a bio-secure bubble, even as the death toll climbs alarmingly.

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who plays under Ponting at Delhi, announced this morning he'll be stepping away from the tournament to look after his family.

"I would be taking a break from this years IPL from tomorrow," he tweeted.


"My family and extended family are putting up a fight against #COVID19 and I want to support them during these tough times. I expect to return to play if things go in the right direction.

"Thank you @DelhiCapitals."


Earlier, Tye's Rajasthan Royals franchise confirmed his departure in a tweet.

"AJ Tye flew back to Australia earlier today due to personal reasons," it said.

"We will continue to offer any support he may need."

Kolkata Knight Riders mentor David Hussey told The Age and Sydney Morning Herald that other Australian players were anxious about the possibility of being stranded.

"I dare say there'll be a few other Australians a bit nervous about getting back into Australia," he said.

"It puts a lot of things in perspective. We actually discussed after the game last night, how lucky we are to play the game and try to entertain people around the world."

As the Indian health system struggles to keep up with the number of patients, the IPL has come under fire for almost ignoring the unfolding humanitarian disaster, although yesterday's match between Chennai and Bangalore was preceded by a reminder about social-distancing, masks and sanitising.

Ponting's Delhi side sits in second place on the ladder, but he admits that on-field performances are secondary in the current situation.

"This IPL, probably more than any other, has become more about what's happening outside than what's happening here," he said.

"It is really important, we are thinking about the extended family, not just us, but we've got to be talking about what's happening outside because it is quite grim.

"Even with the country being in a situation that it is, I think cricket can still bring a lot of joy to people.

"It is important for us to be doing what we can as cricketers and as coaches and as a franchise to putting on the best show as possible to give the people something that they'd like to see."
