Indians have failed the South Indian Dravidian Tamil Hindus (Shaivism) by abandoning the Sri Lankan Tamils, which is why Karunanidhi left the UPA. BTW, this is not an Anna DMK/Jayalalitha or DMK/Karunanidhi issue, it is a Tamil issue. I am sure you remember when she left Vajpayee and he had to...

Dear Marathi Manoo, I beg to differ. Indians have failed the South Indian Dravidian Tamil Hindus (Shaivism) by abandoning the Sri Lankan Tamils, which is why Karunanidhi left the UPA. BTW, this is not an Anna DMK/Jayalalitha or DMK/Karunanidhi issue, it is a Tamil issue. I am sure you remember...

Also, I forgot to include the fact that it will be helpful in us improving our knowledge of Arabic and understanding it when there's less burden to learn one less language (as I stated in the original post, I made). Urdu has literature and culture (mainly because of Bahadur Shah Zafar) but it...

I am sure you realize that our nations were under colonialism (mental, included). Till date, for us, the learning of English is the most important thing and in India, it is the lingua franca, as the North and South Indians are not able to communicate in any other language except for that. In...

I thought about the same and I realized that kids learn Arabic, regardless. Removing Urdu from the equation will make it one language less. In Sind, they have to learn/teach Sindi and now, Chinese. How can our kids compete?

Should Pakistan apply the Turkish and Indonesian model of using Latin alphabets for its local languages to assist the poorest of people to learn Urdu and English, simultaneously? This will be good for children who find it easier to write in English because the letters are separated unlike Urdu...

Although, there is a very fruitful debate to be had with regard to a nation's militaristic capacity or superiority, the fact is that in today's day and time, the only victories are to be had through a nation's soft power and Turkey trumps Iran in that context. The recent PR battering that Iran...

You may now add Bangladesh to the Russian camp: Russia, Bangladesh seal $1 billion arms deal - World - DNA All of this makes sense given the original theory I concocted. Two governments who have anti-Pakistan and pro-Russian roots stemming from the cold-war era are in power in India and...

I was wondering if you were aware of the following two facts: First fact. Indira Gandhi created the legendary Bhindrawale to counter BJP influence and that of the Akali (Ba)Dal. And, once an Indian general defected to his camp and the Sikhs declared freedom from Indian occupation, the Indian...

The title is wrong as it should read "qualitative comparison". We all know how India beats the whole world in quantity with it's massive population, which is the second highest in the world (if not the first). But what has it achieved with so much in human capital (or the lack thereof)? A...

Sure, I think India should "invade" Pakistan. Only after it's invasions in Kashmir, it's Eastern, 7-sister states, Maoist-infested areas and those bordering China are complete. ;)

Sure, that dress is our national dress and worn by females in India, as well. People in Sistan-Baluchistan wear them, too, which is an integral part of Iran, too, isn't it? We have many different designs, designed by thousands of boutiques and entrepreneurs (with a lot of money to be made...

Tehran, Tehrangeles, Britain, Canada, Europe, etc. Mostly, it's the techno music, square-toed shoes, tight (and by that I mean TIGHT) clothes, and girls wearing short skirts and high heels (in the coldest of weathers). And, lets not forget the really huge, Vogue magazine-like sunglasses. Just...

Why do you try so hard to be European yet extremely proud of your culture and heritage? Contradiction?

How about, for starters, Pakistanis show their self-determination and dignity vis-a-vis foreign influence by not being lectured by foreigners on how we should claim or re-claim the italicized factors? Those who are living in foreign lands, are speaking a language that is foreign to them and...

By "ancient" you mean that one culture who has been heavily influenced by Arabic, Perso-Turkic (Central-Asian), British and now American cultures? Wonder if this culture is "endangered" or classified as such, given that it had been overrun so many times by so many different "foreign" or...

Kashmiris have the right to self-determination and free-will (if that isn't a problem for you auqaat walay log). Moving the forces and military and policing the "state" like any other state is all we are asking of you Indians instead of the heavily fortified presence and checkpoints in every...

You obviously didn't understand what I wrote and what you're writing are either straw-man arguments created as a result of your interaction with other Pakistanis or just an indication of your senile mental state (or maturity as it is more likely that you are at the other end of the spectrum of...

Did they screw up in making him a president for that reason or what? Posthumously, make this guy the president. Also, how about include Bose, the physicist in the list (of course, to mitigate the influence of the "father" of the Indian program). It's okay, we have that going on in Pakistan...

As I requested an individual before, I would do the same now. At what point in my post did I mention Maoists and if you can point it out, I would think you would have a reason to keep your "highlighted" comment into place, till then, you will have to accept that you were absolutely incapable of...
