Do you have any evidence that they don't study, don't apply for admissions? Only 3% of Muslim parents send their children to Madrassahs, & even in Madrassahs, there is more of a focus on literary Urdu than religion. Muslim parents are not averse to sending their children to regular schools...

North Indian Muslims have lower education levels (although there isn't a huge difference) than South Indian Muslims, they fare disproportionately worse (w.r.t education levels) than North Indian Muslims.

You failed to understand my post. I was not talking about higher education, I was talking about education levels. Even if a community has high education levels, it does not translate into a high living of standard for that community. Despite the fact that Indian Muslims have higher education...

Again, your myths & misconceptions are wrong, as proven by statistical data. I really doubt you are an Indian Muslim.

I am not posting any "green media sources", but a national study in India that was submitted to the Indian government. I have been to India a few times myself, as I have my mother's whole side of the family there. But this thread isn't about me. I have given statistical evidence of how backward...

How does any of this refute what is said in the Sachar Commission Report about the abysmal state of Indian Muslims?

You might not have a problem with the "misconceptions" I highlighted, but mainstream India still thinks majority of Muslim parents would rather send their children to Madrassahs than to regular schools. Non-Muslim Indians generally think Muslims are averse to acclimatizing into mainstream...

Actually, it's not as simple as that. Although North Indian Muslims have lower education levels than South Indian Muslims, they fare "unproportionately" worse (w.r.t education levels) than North Indian Muslims. The Sachar Commission Report clarified some of the misconceptions non-Muslim...

High educational levels do not necessarily translate into good living standards.

He is an honorable, honest man. He didn't have a bad bone in his body. He'd rather resign/leave than do anything wrong. He is relieved that this is over, saddened of course, but we love Pakistan unconditionally, and will always love it, and provide our services to the country in whatever way we can.

The fact of the matter is, even though Indian Muslims have higher literacy levels than Pakistani Muslims, they fare worse than even Dalits in India. These are some of the facts of how Indian Muslims are faring in India: 1) 52% of Muslim men were unemployed, compared with 47% of Dalit men. 2)...

The IMU, ETIM & various other ones in Northern Afghanistan. Just a few days ago, the IMU struck in North Western Afghanistan, facilitated by the Taliban. There is no separatist movement in KPK or FATA. The Pakistani Pashtuns are happy to be with Pakistan. The threat of the ideology comes...

General Shakeel Hussain is my uncle/chachu. My family is very proud of him and his achievements for Pakistan, but none more so than this incident. It's a shame that we have the leaders in the government that we do, & how despicably the PM acted, just because General Shakeel wanted to act in...

Sensationalist headline. There is no evidence they were Shia. They did not even mention the names of the people that got killed, one can get a pretty good idea by names if one is Shia or not. It was 'probably' a sectarian killing as mentioned by the news report, but there is a good chance its...

As long as the Taliban host other international militant groups, they are a trouble for the US. And they continue to do that. Which is why the Taliban was never a secondary target, but the primary one. Al-Qaeda was always weak inside Afghanistan (even pre-9/11), which is why the 9/11 attacks...

Excellent post.

Excellent article. The moral of the troops, & the war strategy has been gone down in the pit. The 'presents' the coalition forces are giving to the insurgents will only ensure that the coalition exits faster from the region.

The problem is, when Indians think India is in the league of China; & think Pakistan is in the league of Afghanistan; when the fact of the matter is that despite being on the frontline of the WOT, Pakistan still fares better than India on a lot of socioeconomic indicators today.

For the people on this forum, I am a Karachiite who knows Karachi inside out. I am also a 100% Bihari "Mohajir". There are a few small, concentrated pockets where there is high violence, but most of the city is pretty dandy. All places where political parties (regardless of ethnicity) get a...

Panic much? Thousands of people have been killed in Indian cities in riots time & time again. There are countless other cities worldwide that go through periods of violence. Are they North Waziristan? Big cities go through turmoil from time to time, doesn't mean they have become North Waziristan.
