In poor taste, brother. I can understand your anger, but targeting her family is a cheap shot.

Don't get me wrong. I am not questioning Islam or any other religion. I just feel that religion has no business in a couple's bedroom. Besides, the punishments that have been cited are not proportionate to any hurt that might be caused due to a moment of sexual indiscretion.

I have been reading a few posts here. 100 lashes?? death for adultery??? And from the looks of it, such measures do find support even with the educated ones. We all love to have sex. Provided that its consensual, it causes no harm. Why demonize something so natural? A world with more...

I feel its a bit premature to start singing songs of peace, brotherhood and cooperation. Even as China seeks to play the "opportunity" and "development" card, one cannot help but wonder what the military buildup near the LAC hopes to achieve.

Firstly, you're pathetic at insults. Secondly, you need to appreciate the fact that militarily, BD is a weakling, at best. Your first and only line of defence is china. But as I have pointed out earlier, history suggests that for all parties to simultaneously converge on India is little more...

You say that as if it would be a potent pressure tactic. BD army has about 300,000 soldiers, 170 odd artillery guns, and you guys want plan to pressure india with this?? Add to this mix, BD's lack of serious air superiority fighters and your strategy looks increasingly flimsy. The only way...

Are they crazy?! I thought the city and the neighboring areas were in turmoil due to the Telangana issue?? Anyways, does anybody know what reasons Lonely Planet offered for advising a trip to hyderabad? I would want to go there, but my knowledge of the city is restricted to biryani and char minar.

Firstly, since you are comparing the data for both India and BD, i'm assuming that you will be able to appreciate the relevance of Purchasing Power Parity. Now for India, renowned economists from India's leading JNU have pegged the PPP rate at - 1 USD=Rs. 19. So given that the internationally...

I am afraid, i have to disagree with you, with respect to Africa. The reason India gets limited attention - is not because we are discreet - it's because India, is incapable of making as much noise in Africa vis-a-vis China. Chinese investments in the continent far outmatch India's. So much...

Why can't it be kept under control with force. We have been doing it for over 6 decades. By your own reckoning, India has killed thousands. And despite the brutal occupation and support from across the border, the locals have repeatedly failed to engineer a movement that would keep India at bay...

well...the players like tatas and ITCs, which are listed on the stock market have very stiff reporting standards which have to be in compliance with sebi norms. Also, under-reporting net income, would also invite the wrath of the tax department. These are some of India's biggest and most reputed...

Just a couple of things. One, Hospitality is not a high profit margin business. The unconsolidated balance sheets of a few listed players like tata and ITC, will tell you that. Second, there is no company called Ssang Dong. M&M bought Ssangyong. On Topic - other than these symbolic...

Living at BD's mercy?! Firstly, thanks for the laugh riot. Secondly, BD is hopelessly outmanned, outgunned when pitted against India. The only way you guys can put up a semblance of a fight is by praying desperately that china comes to your aid. BD's first and only line of defence against...

Wow...a guy called "Captain Planet" preaching about being true to respective titles on PDF. Why don't you summon your planeteers and teach fateh a lesson...after all, as captain planet would say - THE POWER IS YOURS!!

This would have a crippling effect on the Current Account Deficit and consequently the currency. How much gold does pak have? Pretty soon they will either be pledging it to the IMF or they will be playing the "Afghan-Terrorism" card to get more aid. Infact, didn't the US just sanction USD 2...

But submitting to international pressure doesn't gel well with the claims of "full blown war, if attacked" and "we have nothing to lose". Clearly, there is a threshold that India can flirt with, while replying in kind to pakistani overtures.

Its an overused threat, and pak's on thin ice. Its only a matter of calling pak's bluff. And i'm just curious - Pak attacked India in 1999, India successfully repelled the attacks, and reclaimed its territory. Why did we not see a retaliatory response from pak across India's western theater...

There are way too many assumptions in that sentence for it to make any sense. Besides, let's stop flaming each other over a hypothetical geo-political arrangement. I'm not a fan of the word "IF".

That's just a politically correct way of stating the obvious. Anyways, I'm sure India would be very interested in such an endeavor, if such a bloc were to have an anti-china orientation.
