Have you ever created any mathematical model in your life? No, I'm gonna change the question. Have you ever seen any mathematical model in your life?

Thanks a Lot my friend. Such replies are like a breath of fresh air. Kind and tactful. We spend so much time hating eachother and feeding our egos that we forgot to communicate.
So Your thesis is that, the nation building process in India is completed and it's not a valid problem anymore. Well...
I don't want to derail the thread, since the main subject is not secularism. However, maybe in future, in another thread about secularism we can discuss this issue further and in more depth. I've watched the movie PK. It was a remarkable Indian movie about the secularism issue. Let's discuss...
I didn't have a bad intention while writing this article. I've even compared the situation with Turkey so there was no bragging about anything. If your observation is like that, then that's fine my article will be proven wrong.
However you should be able to discuss in a civilized manner without...
Thanks a lot for the input. I was refering to paradigm shift from dominant party system ( Indian National Congress) to a more balanced multiple party system. But I've written it wrong -I guess I'm sleepy-. Despite making elections, from 1946 to 1989 Indian National Congress ruled the country...
Recently I've started a thread in Far East section about India-China relations. The main thesis was, both nations has a lot of common struggles and cultural roots which makes any confrontation between two powers extremely superficial. However I've seen that even the topic's main theme was that...

Indian and Chinese cultures effected eachoter heavily in the past and that's something positive, not something that should be ashamed of!
We would have missed the entire Zen culture if Bodhidharma did not spread buddhism in China. There would be a huge hole in the human history. Chinese learned...
I have watched a remarkable TED talk and I wanted to share it with you. The speaker, Hans Rpsling, is a Swedish MD. He visits India as a guest student during his university education and he experiences a great revelation about the East. In Sweden he is one of the top students in his class, yet...
Oh God... Reminds why I dislike any country that has an Abramic religion majority.. In Turkey we are banning any genetic research that's not plant based. We don't even let the research to be made. And even for the plant based research, the researcher should get a permit from the government. I...

Hey great achievement for Japan! Congratulations!! Japanese culture dictates hardwork, perfectionism and strong ethics. People in Japan deserves to see such achievements and be proud! I hope in the future the long lasting vandetta with China will come to an end and Japanese and Chinese culture...
I guess you misunderstand everything I have written. I've said that as a reply to leftists and liberals in Europe and in Turkey are trying to justify the actions of PKK. I was refering to that. PKK is the one that makes the killing and law should be applied to them one way or another.
This was deliberately made by AKP. It was a political blunder, like everything else that AKP did. It was not due to not being able to exercise power because of a material powerlessness, but due to a choice.
Turkish government gave free pass to PKK for the last 5 years. Tried the method you have...
