    The last days of Empire - London 2012 Openning Ceremony

    Looks like a lot of people with a chip on their shoulders spouting racist bull here. The opening ceremony in my opinion was brilliant. You guys can try and belittle it as much as you want, but in terms of exporting culture to the world, the British are in a league of their own.

    Hindu Boy coverts to Islam on Live TV in Pakistan

    No big deal. What would have been interesting is if a Muslim boy had converted on live television. Now that would have let the cat among the pigeons.

    First Look: Life Of Pi

    I've enjoyed reading this book but I never thought that it would be a story which would work well in cinematic form. I am very interested in finding out how well Ang Lee adapts this story to film. The trailer looks very promising.

    Indian stars accused of misusing top Muslim shrine

    Nope. A big chunk of them are the superstitious type who will do all sort of silly stuff with the belief that their films will do well. This includes changing names, wearing tons of special power rings/taweezes, visit all sort of holy men/women, dargahs, temples, etc. It has more to do with...

    Should Punjab be broken up into smaller states?

    Not sure about this. In India, building states according to linguistic lines has been quiet successful by giving various groups a say in their own governance. This helps improve participation which reduces resentment against other communities. Japan may not be the right example here considering...

    Ostrich is animal, Pakistan

    The article makes it clear. The Ostrich is a non-native exotic bird so I guess slaughter for food is prevented. They could have amended the law to make an exception for Ostriches but I guess they just found it much easier to define an Ostrich as an animal which I am guessing has more leeway...

    Undermine civilization:The Hindu's Inbred Conservatism

    It is interesting that large numbers all over the world have gone off religion and are now agnostics or atheists. Possibly the Catholic church losing a lot more than most. I wonder if the author ever anticipated that religion itself would lose all relevance.

    Undermine civilization:The Hindu's Inbred Conservatism

    The author was a French Missonary who visited India in the early 1800s. He was a man of his times. Society and cultural practices since then have changed a lot. Jean-Antoine Dubois - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nothing to see here. In this case, inbred means inherent characteristics. Not...

    Who are the laziest?

    I think lazy is the wrong word. It is just taking into account physical activity. Sitting on a desk all day working/studying hard would get a lot less points compared to aimlessly walking around.

    Recording Pogroms Against Religious Minorities in India

    I guess you meant _ALSO_. Yes the statement equally applies to Indians. There are a lot of injustices in India and almost everyone of us will agree to it. However to paint the Indian Government and as an extension, the vast majority of people which elects it as being communal is a huge...

    Recording Pogroms Against Religious Minorities in India
