April 1st joke?

Probably India saw that the motion was going to be passed without its vote making any difference to the results. Since either option had its costs, abstaining makes sense.

This polio free certification for India makes me very happy. What it gives me most is hope that the country with all its contradictions, its poverty, its illiteracy can still come together in one giant effort to do good things.

and infect innocent children....

One thing which puzzles me is that there are hardly any monuments, buildings, palaces left behind which speak of the glory of the Maratha empire. I have lived in Pune, the seat of the Maratha empire and have hardly come across anything impressive apart from forts dotted around Pune which were...

Maybe in your opinion women should stay at home and not build their own careers but this view is not shared by the millions of Muslim women in the UK who study, build careers and think that they are equal to other men. You also may think that a man or a woman shoudn't have sexual relations...

Looking at the pictures posted, there is a case of blasphemy against the Hindu Gods by these people. What exactly does the blasphemy law say? Is it limited just to blasphemy against Islam or does it cover other religions as well? It would be interesting to see the perpetrators being tried for...

Does the constitution of Pakistan specify what religion the chief of army staff has to be or is that requirement restricted only to the head of state and other civilian posts?

Wait.. just a couple of days ago I read that the MFN deal was off the table. Make up your minds!!! Pak not considering India for 'most favoured nation' status

That flag is easily confused for the Australian flag.

The article itself makes the reason clear. It makes no economic sense to occupy Afghanistan. To occupy Afghanistan vast amounts of resources have to be bought in from outside since you cannot generate the resources from within the country itself.

Not too long ago there was a demand in the reverse direction. Azad Kashmir students want seats in IIM/IITs!

Stupid cops. There isn't much chance of this being entertained by the courts. The cops know it but have still gone ahead to try and hurt the students lives.
