    24 foreign 'hate channels' on notice for showing anti-India TV shows

    All of this is just a game being played by this Government. They will shot about national security and will try to introduce laws to control the media and the internet. Instead of trying to ban facebook or these media channels, they should strengthen law and order and provide effective...

    What do you guys think the worst SOUNDING language is?

    Bombay Hindi with some Bandra slang thrown in. Language ka Maa Behen kaise karneka woh unse seekho. My grasp of the Hindi language has been majorly influenced by it. No wonder I always found the subject to be a major pain throughout school.

    The Hindu : States / Andhra Pradesh : As protests roil Charminar, Hyderabad "Contrary to the claims by Hindu groups, an old photograph available with The Hindu shows that the contentious temple dedicated to goddess Bhagyalakshmi is not as old as the Charminar. There is no date stamp on the...

    EDL website hacked by Pakistanis

    I doubt that the guys from the BNP have enough intelligence in their brains to make such distinctions. These people are vile and will lash out at anything they perceive to be different to them.

    Religious differences break out again

    Tomorrow if someone builds a temple on the road opposite your house blocking access to your house are you OK with it? Building a temple is an old trick to illegally settle on land. Allowing a temple to be built in violation of the rule of the land is not something which should be condoned in the...

    Religious differences break out again

    This will be decided by a secular court there is no question about it. We should learn to stop seeing it as a Hindu vs Muslim question and start looking at it as a right vs wrong question.

    Religious differences break out again

    Cause it is bound to be used by the fanatics on both sides. The issue will be decided by secular law. Was there an existing structure in place when the monument was taken over by the ASI? Does it have any historical connection to the Char Minar? If not, the temple was built as a violation of...

    Religious differences break out again

    The bits you say about it being there before 1969 may be true but it also seems to me that the temple there was built much after the Charminar which itself was built to mark the end of a plague affecting Hyderabad. MIM itself is taking advantage of this situation for their own political gains...

    Religious differences break out again

    You seem to be under an illusion that I give a damn about religious places. How would you go about solving this problem? Destroy the Charminar instead? Do you have any other source for the history of that temple?

    Religious differences break out again

    Before you comment on my intelligence why not start by giving references to your assertions. AFAICT you could be simply spewing some propaganda yourself. http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/extension-of-temple-illegal-asi/article4073253.ece According to the article the ASI itself is...

    Religious differences break out again

    So what is the history of the temple? How did it come to be so close to the Charminar? I did a google search and came up with this. Charminar, once an icon of Hyderabadi pride, now a combat ground of religious dominance | TwoCircles.net The Charminar was obviously there first and the temple...

    Pictures of Iran before 1979

    These look like pictures of the elite. I doubt that what looks like a liberal country could fall into conservatism so quickly and suspect that the conservatives outnumbered the liberals by a vast amount. Do you have any pictures of the country side from that era?

    Bangladesh workers serving in 155 countries

    I was on holiday in Italy a couple of days back and was lost while searching for my hotel. Not many Italians speak English while my Italian was non existent.

    Malala Yusufzai: Victim of Barbaric Terror and Dirty Politics

    I hope the media doesn't lose touch with her once she moves to the UK. She is a good role model for girls her age and it is very important that the media continues following her.

    Indian Americans: The New Model Minority

    The immigrant Indian-American population is hardly representative of Indian society. Most white collared immigrants who move from India are among the best and the brightest in their fields and are therefore more equipped to succeed and to pass on their values and their genes to their progeny.

    The law in the UK also applies to discriminating against customers based on race, religion, sexual preferences, disablity, etc. Recently a Christian owner of a B&B was prosecuted against because she refused to rent out a room to a gay couple. This being the EU, the laws across different...

    Paris luxury hotel owner says his hotel will not be open to Chinese tourist

    I doubt the authenticity of this news item. This is clearly a racist stand and such a stance will result in the owner's prosecution and closure of the business.
