What/who is your source? This is very surprising, it is the first time that a foreign contingent is marching in the RD parade, since it began in 1950. I wonder what's going on. The media is missing this very significant development.

Macdonald triad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia You satisfy two of the criteria!

I don't understand why people watch this make-believe stuff anyway. Scripted shows with actors. Why this is entertaining to anybody, is a mystery. To each his/her own, I suppose.

I mentioned "ghar wapasi" in my post before you replied. Ghar wapasi is also constitutional, as is any conversion to Islam. As long as the choice is voluntary. I don't know about the success or failure of "ghar wapasi", but they have a right to try. Non-coercively. If you have links to...

That is true, and that goes both ways. From any religion to any other or none. Pakistanis here often criticize the "ghar wapasi" campaign. That too is a fundamental right, if the choice is voluntary. The constitution guarantees not only freedom to practice, but also to profess one's religion.

How many countries have been sanctioned for not being Christian, by the commision? Since it is entirely made up of Christians, as you point out, they have a Christian agenda - that's what you are implying, right? So which country have they sanctioned unfairly? For advancing Christianity? India...

Do you find North Koreans on any other forum? Anywhere on the internet? Unless you are very naive and misinformed, you are being disingenous. You know that the govt of N Korea does not allow internet access to most people. Nor do they allow North Koreans the freedom to visit another country...

Explaining the history of Masood Azhar’s Jaish-e-Mohammad, the mystery of its re-emergence | The Indian Express The Jaish struggled for years to get a foothold in Kashmir after that, and the J&K Police and other security agencies were able to consistently foil its plans. Protestors shout...

What do you think that commission does? Propagate the state religion? No, and there is no state religion. The commission does not promulgate Christianity, if that's what you are implying. Its job is to monitor and review the extent of religious freedom in the world. I'm not sure what that has...

Christianity stopped being an official part of the state machinery a while ago. BTW Hinduism also was very much part of politics, the only difference being that it didn't seek to conquer or convert people outside the subcontinent. Hindu kingdoms always existed as an interweaving of "church"...

@jamahir : Please answer the question somebody asked before - why isn't there a single North Korean here on PDF? Why is it left to you, who has never been to North Korea, to sing its praises? Why isn't anybody from that "beautiful city" of Pyongyang here, explaining its beauty to us?

Correct, and that's true for Europe too. The European nations became stable political entities after the idea of separation of church and state took hold. Until then, protestants and catholics, orthodox and catholics, etc were duking it out in bloody conflicts. Separation of church and state is...

That's so simplistic, and wrong. Hindus didn't decide to get together and stay in one place, they were already in that place. The reason for that is that hinduism by its nature was wedded to the Indian subcontinent, while Islam always thought of itself as a religion that would spread over the...

Several mistakes there. I wish I could address them in order, but I'm in a hurry. 1) RR was raised for counter-insurgency, not counter-terrorism. The NSG was raised for counter terrorism and hostage rescue. Short, swift counter terrorist operations would not dilute the army's conventional...

You can see from this thread, and from all over the Indian media, that is isn't just our neighbours who have these misconceptions. People thrillingly listen to these fancy titles of "black cats", "garuds", "paracommandos", "special forces" (only the MARCOS was missing) and so on being "rushed...

There are hundreds, if not thousands of military installations. (Some small, some behemoths.) We cannot have a parallel army of young, tough, special force guys guarding all of them. Sentry duties are different from warfighting. It is foolish to make young, fit people do sentry duties, for the...

When terrorists attacked a PAF base, they destroyed two eyeries, the highest valued and prized assets in the entire Pakistani military. After that, when terrorists attacked a naval base, they destroyed two more prized assets, the orions. When terrorists attacked one of the largest airbases in...

Fuel air explosives are, in fact, one kind of thermobaric weapons. FAEs contain only fuel and explosive, and no oxidizing agents. Hence they suck the air in the vicinity.

Dropping bombs on civilians was the rule, in WW2. In fact, the fire bombings of Dresden and other cities caused more loss of lives than the nukes did. The firebombing of Tokyo remains the single most destructive air raid in history. It was called strategic bombing, and that is what every air...

Lack of suitable water bodies. The few large inland lakes in India are all hot tourist destinations. *They don't have to choose between India and Pakistan. They can build roadways to connect with their neighbours, including Pakistan, and they can host military bases for friendly countries...
