Whether Pakistan wants to be a democracy or military dictatorship is Pakistan's internal matter. There was a time when Pakistani generals considered India an ideological enemy, but now they have become like pet dogs and corporatised. They are more interested in safeguarding their own privileges...

While the freedom-loving Balochs and Pashtuns do enjoy moral support from many sections in India, neither the establishment nor the Indian people have any interest in going to war against Pakistan.

The Gulf nations are mostly family owned concerns. They do whatever is in their best interests. They will use China when it suits them, but how many personal properties do the sheiks own in China compared to Europe and America? How many children of the ruling families go to study in Chinese...

Russia is asking for yuan only because dollars are no use to them because of Western sanctions. The Gulf states are not under US sanctions. Why would they want to be paid in yuan?

Jizya was payable annually by non- Muslims during the rule of Aurangzeb , irrespective of whether there was a military threat or not and it was not payable by Muslims under any circumstances, so there clearly was a financial incentive to convert. The Hindus that converted were mostly living...

Hinduism has been the major religion in the subcontinent for thousands of years. From time to time, many Hindus converted to other religions other like Christianity, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism but the conversios were mostly voluntary and peaceful. Except for a few people in Kerala who...

There are several other places that are equally or more important, depending on one's inclination, for instance - Ayodhya, Mathura, Dwarka, Rishikesh, Haridwar, Ujjain, Kedarnath, Badrinath , Gangotri, Yamunotri - and that is just in the states of UP and Uttarakhand. Other states have their own...

That is a very ignorant comment. Hinduism is sanatam dharma - meaning it is timeless and,unlike Islam, did not need the arrival of a prophet to be revealed to mankind. So, no city in Hinduism has a status comparable to Mecca is Islam. Varanasi is just one of the places of religious importance...

India vs Kuwait rematch in the finals. Pakistan finished the group stage at the very bottom out of 8 teams, including the likes of Maldives and Bhutan.

I think the broader point that the Brahmin vote and politics is opportunistic and focused on power rather than ideology is true across India. Even in TN, Jayalitha, an Iyengar, managed to take over a party founded on the premise of anti Brahminism. I would go to the extent of saying that...

When is Imran Khan going to quit PTI ?

This guy seems to be a nautankibaaz. I don't think RAW and CIA would spend any money on him. On a serious note, has Imran Khan or anyone in PTI's leadership acknowledged him or is just the rank and file youthias who are his fans ?

That is so sterotypical but also so wrong. Firstly, the so-called "Brahmin vote" is probably the most heterogeneous of all caste groups. Secondly, the Brahmins were an integral and dominant part of the Congress' BHAM alliance and only switched to other parties in large numbers after that caste...

I am not a prosecutor and don't have access to any legal evidence, but I have read the verdict given by the Election Commission of Pakistan and the indictment by the sessions court on the matter. I would advise you to do the same. If you disagree with them, I would love to hear what evidence you...

Did you even read what i wrote? There were many poor countries but China had the combination of size, the right policies and western interest in engaging that no other country had. India had a similar size and per capita income but the governments were following industrial policies that were...

At that time, China had the lowest labour cost out of countries that were willing to allow foreign investment from the West on liberal terms. India's labour cost was similar, but economic policies were not at all welcoming.

Maybe it is true, but there has been no definitive proof provided by anyone so far. However, those are the kind of defamatory videos that can cause a YouTube channel to get shut down.

He has made some pretty wild allegations against common citizens as well - most famous being the claim that top Pakistani models and actresses are acting as escorts for the army. I am sure YouTube would have been shown something compelling enough. Most anti establishment youtube channels are...

He has been constantly predicting his assassination. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I think he is disgruntled at not being able to rise higher than Major in the army and of course he is also anti PDM/ purana Pakistan political establishment. And it clearly seems he doesn't like taking...

Adil Raja first got mentioned in the Indian press when he made sensational claims about some Pakistani models and actresses. That is how I first heard about him. Frankly, to me, it seems he is some small fish who ran afoul of the military establishment and had to flee Pakistan. He is now trying...
