Seems like it could be a case of either murder or suicide. Facts are murky. Murder angle must definitely be investigated, if the contents are true that this Khaleem fellow is an accused in other cases as well. Is there a larger pattern of these cases in Kerala? Can any person living there shed...

Your profile says you are 71 years old. You should be thinking about other things now. Like, how would you like to he remembered after you are gone, for instance.

Then it is all the more fortunate that Chinese laws are not applied in India.

Blah blah blah... suicide dogs...more blah... Republic Day...blah It seems the sum total of your cognitive output can be written on the back of a handkerchief. Your brilliant plan suggests terrorist attacks in India on the suspicion that RAW is involved in such attacks on your country. I am...

What do pigeons, camels, fishing boats and balloons have to do with state-sponsored terrorism, which is what is being advocated in this thread? One does not need to be a genius in order to feel ashamed of idiocy. Give it a try for a change.

Regardless of what the actual number of executions in China is, the very fact that they do not disclose the number is an indictment that many of these executions are politically motivated and will attract human rights criticism.

To all Pakistani members asking for cranking up assymetric warfare against NDS/RAW: Remember Einstein's definition of insanity. When a chosen course of action has resulted in a particular outcome today which you do not like, don't double down and ask for more of the same. Choose a different...

Yes I have read references to some Quranic passages that can vaguely be used to justify belief in evolution. However, unless one specifically believes that humans evolved from Apes, that is not really evolution. Not giving a specific date for human creation and stating that humans existed even...

Okay. So let's see... Determinism as a basis for what? Moral evolution? For that we would need to connect together two concepts - that human actions have been historically guided by a process of evolutionary determinism (as opposed to simple reductionism), and this process inevitably tends...

I don't know what you are talking about. The government has facilitated transparency in a few areas, but has simultaneously increased regulatory and compliance reach in others. Babus re more powerful than ever, and in some cases have more discretionary power than before. Corruption levels are...

That is a lesson that should already have been learnt by now. The countries that have benefited from the US nuclear umbrella and financial aid program had a clear roadmap. South Asian countries have never had any and all that such friendships will earn them is enmity with someone else.

I did some basic research (not very extensive) and couldn't find any corporal penalty under Sharia for breaking fast. The worst-case scenario seems to be that the person may have to perform expiation. If a person forgets and eats something during his fast, he is not required to do anything...

Question from someone who knows very little about Russian autos. How reliable are they? One wouldn't want to be stuck out in the snow with an engine that doesn't start.

Yes that's right. All we need is for Cenk "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A PROGRESSIVE IS!!!" Uygur to tell us what the Democrats should do. He is one of the top ten reasons why they lost support in a demographic that they should have owned. His aggressive and condescending tone is nauseating at best. It...

CPEC is not really of concern to India except in terms of tangential possibilities. As rightly pointed out by some posters, its success would be hinged on the security scenario; hopefully meaning that China will have to use its clout to ensure Pakistan does not escalate hostilities with India...

Democrats will not win elections unless they dump the SJW, PC, wannabe-Fascist brigade. They are literally sitting on the notion that their control of mainstream media and emerging demographics will eventually turn things in their favour. Well guess what, they don't understand the internet and...

Yeah. Same here. I am getting similar feedback from people I know. The problem is, he is not concerned with us, He is playing to the audience that believes that each day when you read about cow vigilantism, love jihad or some other nonsense is proof that the government is "working".

I think "if we can't fight them, join them" is not the best way to go about it. I just wish for parsing it three-ways - cow people, believers and secularists. And my wish to distinguish one from the other has nothing to do with wanting adversarial relations. It is really revealing that...

It would be interesting to understand the dynamics at play between the far left and Islamists. Who are the "useful idiots"? On the face of it, I agree that there is that segment which reacts to these issues as human rights issues. But the larger group surely views it as an "enemy of my enemy"...

Yeah. Hopefully people on this thread (and on others), will pick up cues about how to have a civil conversation. We can only hope... Hmm...why do you ask "what does it mean to be human"? I assume that you are interested in it for practical purposes, as a starting point. Self awareness and...
