I hope not....:lol: I have been disagreeing with him far longer than you have been around.. He might think me a fool, maybe a pain in the a$$ even but hate me? The thing is that JS is an academic at heart, you have to even earn his tolerance (that's pretty much all that you can hope for:D) He...

The area connecting Indian Kashmir to Pakistani Punjab is referred to as IB by India & working boundary by Pakistan.

@Joe Shearer Something I read, relevant to a thread like this "If you follow partisanship to the extreme, this is where you end up: Israel-Palestine, Serbia-Albania, Ajax-Feyenoord, Sox-Yankees, Republicans-Democrats (add pro Modi-anti Modi, pro Congress - anti congress). You get to a place...

It is a fairy tale fantasy alright that you don't blame the people actually tasked with the duty to deal with these matters & concern yourselves solely with the man that you do not like & wish to blame even if the only blame to be apportioned is on the basis of some moral failing. I'm...

Why do you expect condemnation from that type? You should ask that only of those you consider to be in the centre regardless of whether their political preferences may show a tilt one way or the other.

No, it isn't. This is not about why they did not protest elsewhere, it is why they are not looking more clearly at the incidents that they are protesting about & apportion blame fully.

People stand up & make their point but it does not satisfy those for whom nothing other a full condemnation of Modi for everything will suffice. .Arundhati Roy once said that Amir Khan could not join the Narmada andolan because he advertised for Coca-cola. Same attitude on display here.

I think you haven't looked through my posts, they are all there, on record. I have severely criticised Modi for the riots, held him responsible for them though I have been careful not to get sucked into the complicity argument & kept it limited to his failure in performing his constitutional...

Yeah, I'm troubled by the way that this argument goes. Let us for a moment assume that PM Modi was uninclined to take on the right wingers, what exactly are the state governments doing? I could understand if the state government were BJP ruled & they were accused of complicity but what on earth...

Been asking this question for ages. Never got a logical response.

...because hate is as equal an investment of feeling. "I do not hate" simply signifies a lack of emotional input. Btw, I don't think most Indians "hate" individual Pakistanis, other than those known to be directly involved in terrorism or other actions directed against India. Or people whose...

I have no idea of why any Chinese was refused accommodation nor are Indians openly hostile to Chinese generally. I have never heard of a case of not admitting Chinese, people in the hospitality business are hardly likely to go down the hate route. With Pakistanis, there will always be problems...

Not really anger. Just wariness. They were looking for accommodation in a predominantly Muslim area and I think no one really wanted the trouble that putting up Pakistanis may bring. The family should have planned better, they would have easily got accommodation if they had booked ahead.

That is irrelevant to the point I was making. That these countries are worse off now. Not debating the reasons though it was mighty naive of anyone to think that these people would simply take to democracy like a duck to water. Even a much more stable society like Egypt could not handle...

Nobody is stopping you from preserving your moral & ethical values, let others live by their moral & ethical values.

From whom? Henry Kissinger? :azn::lol:

True that.

Err....what??

I would agree if the next budget does not have significantly higher budgetary support. The last budget cut things left & right, healthcare also took a beating.
