A heavy burden to bear.
What to do.
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
I've been hinting at it in so many posts, and you are the first guy to twig and to bring it up front.
I think calling anyone a bhakt is a mistake, one that I have made myself, and I have decided not to use that term for any Indian any more.
My temper lets me down.
When exactly this happened is obviously impossible to say. That it happened is clear from the loan words from (a) Dravidian languages; (b) Austric languages appearing within most languages that were descended from Prakrit.
As a curiousity, Dravidian languages - the main ones being Tamil...
I absolutely do. It's the connection between Indo-Aryan and today's languages belonging to the Prakrit group that I object to. The language evolved enormously, while people were writing about it in terms that made it a straightforward conversion, which it was not.
Total crap.
Don't write...
It's an interview of a PhD scholar who investigated the Ahmedabad riot and wrote a book about it.
What she's been doing was the right thing to do, IMO.
She gets to college with the hijab on (actually, it isn't a hijab, it's a full-body covering, not a scarf on the head), undresses in a room...
I FIRMLY oppose the hijab, forget about burkhas.
However, two things.
First, it should be the student's right to wear what she chooses to wear, within reason. Wearing a bikini to class would be dire.
Second, those pricks in charge of that junior college brought in a rule long after the...
Name one.
I can tell you with great authority and firmness that this is wrong. Muslims are discriminated against in a myriad tiny little ways, the sum total of which is to make them frustrated and angry.
Listen to this, if you dare!

And can you see what that has done to the demographics of the PRC?
Do you realise that it would be a damn' good thing for governments to get out of thinking for its citizens, to get out of deciding what emotions are appropriate, what clothing is appropriate, what speech is apparent, and what...
You are helping me make two essential points.
First, these things shouldn't be discussed or raised, without people discussing or raising them having adequate knowledge about the matter.
Second, indeed it may - or may not - require consolidation, but how can that be done by an airy wave of the...
Why? Who administers Waqf property then?
The buffoons clamouring for a Uniform Civil Code don't even know that there are two different Hindu codes prevalent in the country.
One might imagine they would agitate to unify that first.
What our ill-educated and ill-informed friend misses is that a Uniform Civil Code has been running in the country for some time, and all segments of society follow it, with no qualms.
This is where the cowardice and the resort to lies and to subterfuge of the BJP comes out loud and clear.
There is already a Uniform Civil Code prevalent. Asking for it, and assuring us that they will work for it is just another electoral ploy by the BJP.
Do you even understand the meaning of...
The last word syndrome?
Fair enough. Your choice.
Not a question of the BJP being here to stay or not, it's a question of what it stands for and what effects that will have on the country.
Singularly wrong. The vote share of the BJP and its allies is anything but even a simple majority of...
Yes, of course, but the languages spoken in Pakistan today are far removed from Proto-Indo-Iranian. They are descended from Indo-Aryan, that was not a Sintashta language, but was the language of the migrants into south Asia. Indo-Aryan, in turn, transmuted into Sauraseni Prakrit and Magadhi...
ওই নোংরা ব্যাপারটা নিয়ে আমিতো বিন্দুমাত্র আপত্তি করি নি।
I didn't have the slightest wish to defend that filthy act.
আমিতো উর্দুতে কথা বলাতে ঠাট্টা করছিলাম!:p:
I was just teasing you about using Urdu!
