    Raghuram Rajan's address at IIT Delhi: Tolerance is essential for economic progress

    Nice speech. Not even our President gave a meaningful speech about the rising intolerance. Rajan was subtle and pitches tolerance as a virtue for economic progress. He puts it nicely for today's context without explicitly saying that. So he is still not crossing his limits and stayed apolitical...

    Sharing husband could boost family health and wealth!

    Damn it I thought the article was about a sharing husband not sharing a husband. Who are these loony researchers who say 'polygamy was banned for misogyny and monogamy restricts women's options'. On that count, polygamy is misandogeny(or whatever the parallel). Their stupid prescription for...

    Any threat to Saudi Arabia will evoke a strong response from Pakistan: COAS

    In other words, Saudi Arabia will forever be a monarchy.

    Imran and Reham fomally agree on Divorce.

    I am suspicious of Reham's motives here. The breakup happens a few weeks after IK announces that Reham won't participate in party activities. Looks like she married IK to be the Queen of PTI(and Pakistan later). Otherwise there is no point for IK to go out of his comfort zone asking her hand in...

    Poll: What is the biggest threat to United States today?

    America and its leaders poking nose all over the world, that is the biggest threat to the world and US itself. They caused Ukranian dismemberment by provoking Russia. Toppled secular people like Saddam and Gaddafi letting loose the Islamist loonies. Now they want to topple Assad. They propped up...

    Where ignorance is not bliss

    I am not a fan of Arnab. :D I agree with what she said about unnecessary secrecy. But her analysis is always along the jarring establishment narrative. If she was such a great analyst and Imran such a great leader, together they would have formed government in Pakistan. Establishment story.

    SC to examine Muslim personal law, aim to end gender bias

    Finally somebody is trying a reform. Nothing will come out of the crooked politicians. Either they pander to the mullahs allowing the sexist religious laws. Or they will claim to be champions of Uniform Civil Code and do nothing about it when in power. Enough waiting.

    d not spare me’,” External, Internal Factors Led to Fall of ZAB

    I may not be able to relate with your level of pain/anger. But yes, someone like Modi, people can keep in check. He respects democracy and the electorate sees him coming from a mile away: he says what he does so he can be voted out. But Bhutto, because he only masqueraded as a democrat, would be...

    d not spare me’,” External, Internal Factors Led to Fall of ZAB

    Bhutto was a narcissist and power hungry opportunist. He claimed to be a socialist and ended up making Ahmedis second class Pakistanis. If that did not happen and one Abdus Salam stayed back, there would have been at least two more Nobels under Pakistan's tally. He had a chance to tie up J&K...

    What they made of Modi in Pakistan

    This is overtly racist. They make fun of Modi for being a tea seller, saying he will be doomed to be a tea seller in future. No dignity of labour. And cheap humor as @third eye says, take on his policies if you can. Not his imaginary image. Pakistan needs to get some decent comedians.

    The fall of Kunduz: Should India help Afghanistan militarily?

    Lol. You just called yourself a bitch. I clearly said the word I used was not an expletive. When you are just getting by, you won't have the time or resources to interfere in other's affairs. That is what I meant. Pfft... Learn to understand colloquial language. Afghanistan is today in the...

    Comparison of India and Pakistan power generation capacity.

    Duh!! India pop is only 6-7 times that of Pakistan.

    The fall of Kunduz: Should India help Afghanistan militarily?

    And you are a *****(I called you a five letter non-expletive then toned it down). When I meant Afghanistan was just getting by, I meant they were not interfering in Pakistan(something in the sense of eking out a living). Disprove that. You should prove your claim that Massood invited OBL. It...

    Inviting Arabs to hunt is pillar of foreign policy: govt

    I did not say they are sellouts. Stupid may be; that they capitulate so easily.

    Inviting Arabs to hunt is pillar of foreign policy: govt

    Pakistan should find better stones to replace its cornerstones of foreign policy. And build new pillars for God's sake.

    Indian Supreme Court strikes down 99th amendment

    Care to explain why? By some horrific chance, if Congress comes to power next with Lalu as law minister, you want to take guesses on the quality of judges selected by NJAC?

    Battle between two ideas of India

    So let some minister say the same thing with a respectful tone. Why call them Congress chelas and undeserved recipients. This is not about Modi's personal image alone. If not Modi, some minister could have gently and respectfully told the writers that their protest is meaningless. This...

    MBA pass out refuses to take degree from Smriti Irani

    It is not a big deal. There are so many incidents like this in US. So many conscientious objectors. The student made his point. That's all.

    The fall of Kunduz: Should India help Afghanistan militarily?

    Thanks for the chain of events. But USSR was going to spread communism in Afghanistan anyway just like US is spreading democracy today. And Pakistan was dealing with Afghanistan problem for a long time. The border closing incident happened at least a decade if not more before the Soviets walked...
