Yup @SarthakGanguly 's actions were nice !
Even if his Urdu pronunciation is atrocious !
And yup Sarthak I still think that Indians are far too self-righteous than you care to admit and no we're not any different either ! I'd like to reply to your post but I'd rather not spoil this moment !
And Shearer Sahib is that you in the avatar ?
French Beard ? Khair haiii ?
Jidiii muuuchhh nahin ooo kuchhh nahin !
I just don't know what to make of Sarthak Ganguly. His political views are atrocious, but every time push comes to shove, he does things exactly the way a decent officer and a gentleman should. He really confuses the hell out of me.
But I appreciate that nothing has diverted him from standing up and saying out loud, no ifs, buts, maybes or whatever, that this was a foul deed, and that the criminals and their leadership will roast in hell. That's as much as Indians can do. I suspect that even if in an emotional moment, the government and people of India were to offer to help physically, Pakistanis will be too proud to accept that help, and will prefer to sort it out themselves. No use pointing out that their own internal efforts have been bogged down, and show no signs of struggling out of the morass. If this monstrous event makes a difference, the world will be a better place.
I also see where you're coming from, saying that we're self-righteous. You know, the sad thing is that until 1971, we had a perfect right to be self-righteous; the criminality of Pakistani actions was apparent and self-confessed, and ironically, it was the intervention of 71, the one that in a sense blotted our escutcheon, that I support with the greatest zeal and burning conviction.
On a personal note, I am sorry at the extraordinary bad timing of putting up a smiling self-portrait, precisely on the cusp of a major tragedy such as this. I will change it within the next 24 hours. BTW, my family portrait which was the previous avatar will show you that my facial embellishments date back to 1971 at least.
