We must work from within. Defeat is not an option. Galvanize votes and fight at the ballot box. I want to see their sorry faces after they lose the elections, and then hopefully never again in my life.

I will respond to only that which makes sense. The reason I mentioned Turkey is because we are heading in the same direction. Erdogan came to power on promises of economic development. Today, he has torn Turkey apart and it has become a society based on fear and mistrust. Every victory for him...

There is plenty of hope. Each day I see the opinion of those around me who initially supported these retards change a bit. Every conversation I have with them, it seems they are a bit more aware about what Sanghis are doing and are worried. Some are concerned about possibility of riots, some are...

Yeah. For a long while I used to (almost) sympathize with Sanghis, because of the way intellectuals across the board treat them with disdain. I always root for the underdog and that offended my sense of fairplay. I will never repeat that mistake. Their insanity has been downplayed, and once...

We have to do what we can. Encourage people to think and vote next time. Highlight the relevant issues and explain how the politics of demagoguery and hero-worship will ruin the country. And hope for the best. Nothing we can do beyond that. No one can save a nation bent upon sabotaging itself...

I have full sympathy for the Kashmiri people. But we need to be able to splice the issue - the separatist leaders and Kashmiri people are not the same, and neither do they have the same interests. Unfortunately the situation has now become more complex than ever. You may be right about a...

Yeah Tesla is the front-runner as far as cutting edge tech is concerned, but I doubt their intent for the mass market. Same goes for most conventional companies although I heard the Volt is a good car. The Chinese seem to be doing all the good work in making it mass market, contingent on...

China is already a global hub for electric cars. More of them sold in China than anywhere else. Also by far the largest producer of batteries. Now all that is needed is to improve efficiency and introduce some really high-mileage batteries. I am all for the Chinese on this one. Just as on solar...

What the world has done over the past few decades is collective insanity. They first fought a war over the invasion of Kuwait, because it has oil. As if they really cared whether Kuwaities lived or died. They have, since then, been single-mindedly obsessed over the Middle-East, as if places with...

I understand that you speak without malice. Unfortunately, things have gone out of the hands of sensible people. The Valley has now become trapped in a vicious, self-reinforcing cycle. The Indian government and elected leaders in J&K want one kind of status quo. The separatists want status quo...

It was a private conversation between two Indians, both of whom happen to be level-headed and conversant with the challenges their country faces. We don't need a pamphleteer who thinks that he can hoodwink people about reality by simply speaking some gobblygook. You are no different than the...

You are partially correct in your understanding. However, that is not the complete picture. Firstly - there is no doubt that the Indian government has a poor record in socio-economic development. Not just Kashmir, but also the North-East bear testimony to that fact. So no argument on that...

Yes. Her name is Suhasini Haidar and she is a good journalist. She is married to Nadeem Haidar, son of Congress leader Salman Haidar. I don't know how she tolerates her father. One may or may not agree with his views, but more importantly he reeks toxicity at all levels.

Of course it is not over. Except that you overestimate greed. Sri Lanka's experience is for all to see. Countries learn and adapt, just as China does. Let us see who learns better and faster.

Saudi Arabia 500,000 (estimated overstays as of 2016)[8][9] United Arab Emirates 242,000 (estimated overstays as of 2015)[10][11] Kuwait 155,000+[8][13] (estimated overstays to June 2015) Qatar 40,000 (estimated overstays 2015)[8] 42 (registered)[8] These are the official numbers...

The videos were meant to be watched. And you could thereafter come up with arguments against it. Instead, you do what is the easiest and laziest thing to do - labelling in order to silence people. Sam Harris is one of the foremost intellectuals of our generation. Your views are shared by Ben...

Okay I will not talk about CPEC if you can give me your own detailed understanding about it. Since you claim to know it so well.

If you don't calm down in life, you will get a heart attack at a young age. Think about your family.

Oh...You are back. CPEC has been discussed to death on various threads. What I wrote is a summation of my position. You are neither that important nor persuasive as to warrant a repetition.

Listed among the dead is Commander Mukhtar - ex Pakistan Army officer. Are we to assume that the camp was run by them?
