Your story is sad indeed. There is nothing I can say that would heal your wounds. All I can say is that I feel for you and hope you find peace. I know that you did not deserve this fate. Armed conflict is a dirty business and I am not privy to the entire sequence of events whereby the situation...

Actually I read an excellent article about this the other day. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/when-your-child-is-a-psychopath/524502/ Apparently there is some hope in these cases. I feel for the parents of such cases, although in many cases it is an abusive childhood that...

We can all have arrested development issues. In some of us it manifests as lack of reason, in others as lack of critical thought. There are also situations such as yours, where a person may grow up with basic lack of sensitivity and mistake it for straightforwardness. So one should be patient...

Writing of history has traditionally suffered from the bias that it is usually written by the victor. That is unfortunate. However, certain liberals, (especially Canadian liberals) seem to have turned the reasoning on its head. That was a murky period and bad things did happen, especially the...

While it is true that demonetization did affect the economy adversely, it would be a mistake to attribute structural problems to one individual action. India's tardy progress, including jobless growth, has a lot to do with global economic trends. Now it is a fact that our government did not...

Update - Theresa May has said that this can't go on and that "enough is enough".... ....now EVERYONE has to change their Facebook DP to a blank screen and EVERYONE has to sing John Lennon's Imagine.

Not that religious mumbo-jumbo has any relevance to me, but Hinduism does have such a concept. It is called "veergati". The Rajputs swear by it. At one point they used to be as eager to die in battle as your average Jihadi today.

Way I see it, Western intervention in these countries will have to be in stages. It is a long-term project that will require sequential investment in capacity building. First, will come investment in education, healthcare, security and rule of law. That is the basis of everything. Next, there...

Yes, I am all for greater European/Western humanitarian intervention in ME, Asia and North Africa. Atleast they could start with the places where there is less conflict and gradually expand after conflicts such as Syria and Yemen have been resolved. I would rather that Arabs, North Africans...

So is your claim based solely on the basis that despite committing every atrocity possible, we must sympathize with Islamic imperialism simply because today, all there is to show for it is poverty, war and regression? That is the same as saying that we must celebrate a psychopath and his deeds...

The question of who Germany/Europe should take in is a tricky one. How do you profile as to who has first claim over asylum? As you obviously know, the majority of asylum seekers are in fact economic migrants simply (ab)using the window of opportunity that the Syrian crisis had opened up. Even...

It is true that as colonial powers, European nations committed atrocities. Denying that would be a perversion of history. However, one must give the devil its due. Where else has an entire civilization, simply out of a sense of liberal sensibilities and collective guilt, signed its own death...

The total set of grievances upon which ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Hamas, Hezbollah, LeT, Taliban, TTP, Hizbul, etc., exist is the same. When the horror show exceeds sustainable levels, then people are forced to make noises, otherwise they are free to pass off as freedom fighters and...

This is one area where liberals have brought about their own downfall. I am sure that they are bewildered as to why the whole world is going tribalistic at this point and will blame everything from Trump to Marine le Pen to Gert Wilders to social media, and do on. What they will not acknowledge...

ISIS is not the problem. They state their goals explicitly and the world realizes the threat. That is adequate to deal with them. The danger comes from stealth Jihadists who insist that no one be allowed to examine the link between doctrine and terror. These are the people who blind us to...

Due to SCS issue, there have been a lot of complications that would otherwise not have arisen. China and Australia are business partners and in an ideal world any issue would be amicably resolved. Even now I don't see any serious repercussions, but definitely there is an element of mutual unease...

The bigotry, chauvinism and hatred on this s thread for Indians is breathtaking. I am sure that most of the scum who are passing remarks about Indians are the same ones who lament about why Europe does not take more refugees. The hypocrisy and double standards surely escape them. If Arabs would...

Your hatred will get you killed one day. If nothing else of a heart attack. Yes I suppose everyone has some use. BTW what do you mean by places Indian's can't even enter? Is it because those places are too expensive and posh or because of the famed Arab sense of racial equality?

Well, war is an unlikely scenario, and a three-pronged one is nearly impossible. Pakistanis could either realize that no one wants to fight them and stop looking for military situations to escalate or continue to live in paranoia. That is not to say that India will not try to hurt Pakistani...
