In any case, lathis and tear gas are not excessive force for police standards anywhere in the world. It is a travesty to hear the Pakistani govt bleating about "brutal force" on such a trivial occasion.
How many people were killed today because of "brutal force"? How many were seriously...
Kashmiri policemen using tear gas and lathis = "Brutal use of force".
Pakistan using army, airforce, rangers, paramilitaries, heavy artillery, tanks, IFVs, fighter jets etc inside their own country for years and years = Just another day in paradise.
Only if you were criticizing their statements. You weren't doing that. You made the same statement that religious bigots make. You made it a threat, that India will become muslim majority - as if that in and of itself is a bad thing that should scare me.
But the person who waved that bogeyman in my face was you. Hence my assessment of you.
If you repeat the crap that bigots spew, what do you expect to be called?
Sorry, but sometimes a dose of reality will come in your way. Maybe from me, maybe from another source. If you don't like to be responded to, don't post.
What is "your kind"? Care to explain what my kind is?
I did not throw any personal insults. I called you a religious bigot because you just...
Yes.
How many people do that, and how many people live in Kashmir?
Doesn't matter to us. For one thing, it's the wishes and spirits of a few people. The rest are happy to participate in the Indian democratic process.
That's the difference in freedom of expression I was talking about. A...
There is. The govt has to prove "malicious intent" on the part of the network, which should be easy if they ignored prior warnings. The only absolute defence against the charge is truth - and truth is not on AJ's side in this case.
So? That doesn't mean that the area is Pakistani. I can go there without a visa; you can't.
An attention whore taking advantage of the freedom of expression in India and waving a flag, doesn't mean that the area is not Indian. If you want it, come and try to take it.
What's disgusting about...
Well yes, it's always the publisher's "fault" for publishing something. In the case of the rape documentary, I am of the opinion that it should not have been censored. If AJ showed a wrong map, of course it's their fault, who else do you think should be faulted for that? Doordarshan?
Actually this is a very good move, if the ORBAT is properly planned. I always felt that raising a new corps with 90,000 soliders was simply throwing numbers at the problem, rather than addressing the problem more cost effectively. In the larger run, so many soldiers would cost a lot in terms of...
Wrong. They would take action, if it was done by a news organization. American law differentiates between "news" and "commentary". If a media organization is registered as a news organization, they are bound not to spread misinformation. If it is commentary, you are free to lie. That is why they...
Yea, he is. He will grasp at any straw to paint equivalence. As I said before, youtube and internet 2.0 are the biggest drivers of modern culture. Their entire nation is immunized from the grassroots level waves of progress by their govt, and they think that's the same thing as a news channel...
Who said it isn't? It is shown, if and when it happens. There is complete media freedom in Kashmir, unlike the parts of your country where the army is actively engaged.
Just because they don't make up fictitious tales of "millions of rapes and murders" that Pakistanis want to believe, doesn't...
A news organization spreading misinformation does not count as freedom of expression. Don't throw out the first phrase you can think of.
On a personal blog, anybody is free to show Kashmir as part of Pakistan, if they want to indulge in some harmless daydreaming. That's freedom of expression...
The manufacture of MKIs has been (almost) fully indigenized only recently. Initially HAL was assembling them from semi knocked-down kits, then they progressed to assembling completely knocked down kits, and then for later batches, they began to manufacture parts in house. It was only recently...
