Need to grab a bit of sleep, but, the process I'm talking about is multi-decade in its scope. I cannot control the reaction of other people and the motives and judgments they wish to cast on me - the choice is their own. If they wish to flame on it - that is their choice, and not my...

MyPakistan1947, You are looking to establish motives in a very cynical nature that do not exist in myself, and are casting the falsest of judgments. I'm sure there are those on the Indian side of the debate who accuse me of the exact opposite of what you are saying. You are, however, entitled...

rockstar, You misjudge my motives on the issue in question - you've missed the forest for the trees. Again, by pursuing a third way, a different framework, you actually free yourself from the influence of Washington. Right now, there is an arrangement between the US and Pakistan that is...

The Muslims invaded India after moving through Persia in the 7th century - however, they assimilated large portions of the Indian population, and assimilated themselves into the Indian population with a distinct self-identity that identifies itself with Islam, the Arabs, Persia, Central Asia...

Isn't history ironic? As the Europeans laid aside their swords for what was all practical purposes, the last time, the problems they faced for centuries replicate themselves in the former British Raj. Britain shares a large share of the blame in creating this situation, btw, a situation that...

Europe has done it - there has been no World War III, because the European Coal and Steel Community launched a revolutionary way of thinking that culminated into today's EU. There's no reason to fully replicate the full extent of the EU - adopt a more limited integration on the EU model, and...

Honestly - utilizing the term "revival the legacy of the Raj": is just a cliche. It is a counter that is based on the most superficial actualities. What I'm discussing isn't the "revival of the legacy of the Raj" - it's a reminder to be mindful of your own history and look forward to the...

newdelhinsa, Pakistan has rejected the concept of "Indianness". Most Pakistanis have accepted a radically separate identity since 1947. Until that time, they viewed themselves as Indians as well - more or less, the proper ruling class. Pakistan is, to some degree or another, in my opinion...

Can you clarify your positions for me? I'm unfamiliar with the term "Bharat Tantra". Could you also present your ideas regarding what you feel is the proper form of governance in the subcontinent (and the wider world?) The idea I'm proposing is an inclusive, pluralistic model. I may be going...

Given the instability on a regional and internal level in the nations of South Asia, a thought sprung to my mind regarding a framework for a workable supranational organization in South Asia. A few things immediately come to mind if it were a coalition of currently existing states, India would...

Gentlemen, I have created a private forum exclusively for professional forum/site administrators (The Embassy). Their usernames/titles: Ahsan Senior Administrator Defence.pk Asim Aquil Administrator Defence.pk Agnostic_Muslim Administrator Defence.pk You are under "diplomatic immunity"...

AG, I have sent you a PM on WAB, if you could kindly forward to Ahsan. Regards, Ironduke

All monotheistic religions show stark similarities to polytheistic religions. For example, Zoroastrian influences are evident in the dualism of both Islam and Christianity. Judaism, the first Abrahamic religion, lacks this, or at the most, has extremely underdeveloped notions of heaven and hell.
