You will get used to PDF. :D Then you will stop complaining about it.

In general national televisions don't bother covering topics related to rural areas/South/North-East/non-Hindi states much. They did not bother covering Telangana suicides or discussed the Telangana committee reports in depth. They normally cover every sound byte of every random saffron...

Treason is probably too much. That is free speech for you. And he said 'hame ley aaiye, unko hathaiye'. I think that is because of his bad Hindi. Not because he expected Pakistan to help Congress to remove Modi.

On what basis? What is the cost calculation?

The world will start caring for Arab lives when Arabs start to care for Arab lives. Otherwise all you get is a shrug saying 'Well! Arabs are like that'

Yes. Chittoor district, not the city. The Sandalwood trees are cut using labour from Tamilnadu, and smuggled outside India through Chennai port into South East Asia. The maal need not enter the city. This is definitely not a case of a Mayor trying to prevent smuggling. Mayors are powerless in...

Rehman did get support from people like Romila Thapar(a favourite punching bag for saffronists). I don't remember any statement by politicians though. But Rehman gave a slap to the fatwa factory himself in a respectful tone characteristic to him. :D We will get there. :tup:

Looks like a political tit-for-tat murder. No direct links to smuggling. Smugglers don't deal business in cities.

Good sign. A win-win for both sides. @Riyad : How much would you rather have the charge fixed at?

Mani Shankar Iyer is a necessary evil. India should have such 'cuff me and make me your slave' pacifists as a proof of our diversity. It is nothing to say about the practical approach to Pakistan though. The present government is on the right track on this subject.

Then these clerics should demolish the ISIS's logic than simply giving categorical statements that ISIS is not Islamic. That would help stem the flow of fighters into ISIS. Clearly youngsters are getting draw to ISIS because they relate ISIS's principles to their religious beliefs. There should...

That is a different problem. Right now refugees are the issue. If Assad can offer safety to all Syrians, then it is not our business to see what is going on inside the country.

Ummah and Europe have equal responsibility. And technically there is a way from Syria directly into Europe.

It is not just based on ISIS's claims. There are independent news reports which seem to suggest the same. Even terrorist groups should follow some code to keep their following. Terrorist label is based on the kind of militant activities they perpetrate. All sources seem to say that ISIS does not...

I understand that part. But how can you tell looking at a person who ended up in a country whether he came from a safe country or not? You are really expecting just the border countries of Syria to accept all refugees and wash off your hands? That would just end up making the border countries...

Please don't blame the Western press that much. I have seen advertisements(might be UNHCR) with similar pics asking for donations. But yes, Europe is making a big deal about it. That is what I am hoping they will stop and accept some refugees. It is in Turkey's interest to keep a control on...

It is not ISIS policy to do the same. They do not demand loyalty to the extent of killing family. Say anything about ISIS. But whatever they did so far has some logic and rationale. If they hanged people it is because some Islamic text allows hanging for so and so crimes. IMO they are following...

It is every country's duty as per law(in most cases) to host refugees when their home country is unlivable. The practicalities of the hosting process, whether it is because of size as in Jordan's case or because of 'security threat' as in Euro's case are secondary. Refusing refugees is obviously...
