Well, for one, as far as I can remember, the Satanic Verses didn't win the Booker Prize. Secondly, you are attempting to compare something that does little else than to strike at the very heart of a belief system - to what has been a mere meal for a large part of the planet's population for a...

Not quite the same, my friend. One would have to be an insecure, emasculated islamophobic to consider "innocence of muslims" as Cinema. Whereas, both beef and pork, can be legitimate culinary delights, which are widely accepted and consumed. And it's not new to India either.

Firstly, I am a roman catholic. BUT, before you begin to judge my "inability to comprehend" religious concerns of Hindus, you should know that I was born to a Hindu father. Secondly, before you begin to preach to me about Christianity, do spare a couple of minutes in reading up what the "Tu...

Gotta say...nice comeback!! BUT, behavioral checks and balances that are enforced by norms of social conduct, have little to do with invalidating of deeply personal lifestyle choices, because it is mis-construed as an interference in religious beliefs of my fellow countrymen.

French, or NOT - I agree that we are diverse society, but is it something new? India, for thousands of years, has been melting pot of different cultures and religions - it's about time that we grow up. Such childish intolerance is most futile and dangerous.

You have taken my argument, LITERALLY. So to answer your question - NO, i don't think CCTV cameras are installed in kitchens to monitor what we eat. The message that i was actually trying to convey was that - to uphold the religious beliefs of one community as the benchmark to which all other...

I gotta say. I am supremely disappointed in some of these indian institutions. I'm allowed to drink, have sex, vote, smoke, etc...but there are restrictions on what I am allowed to eat?! Using the "cultural sensibilities" argument to defend this ruling is plain stupid. In a mature society, the...

My money's on west indies. Gayle, pollard, bravo, narine...any one of these guys alone can arm twist the opposition into submission.

Really?! A second tier enemy?! It obviously can't sit too well with your ego that most people in your country continue to obsess about India. Take a recent PEW Global Survey for instance - people in your country think of india as a bigger threat than the TALIBAN!! Here are some excerpts -...

I wouldn't post these pictures if I was a bangladeshi like you. After all, the only thing keeping BD from dancing to Delhi's tunes is China. And look what you guys have done to china - Tibet, Uighuristan, Han China, Ngambon, etc. I'm allowing myself the luxury of an assumption, when i say that...

I was thinking...it's quite funny. The pakistani hawks' brain is not configured to think beyond the pet "nuke'em" argument. It's like the childish rantings of an emasculated mind. But the funny part is - these guys keep saying that india can't win a full fledged war, because we will destroy...

As i said, SUICIDAL. And for some reason, you and your ilk tend to take that as a compliment.

So you've hit rock bottom and don't mind burying yourself further under a pile of sh!t. Obviously, you people need to stop identifying with imaginary heroes of warrior clans that once upon a time used to lord over the sub-continent. There is no honor or glory to be had, while suffocating under a...

Given that india is, and is expected to continuously outspend pak in the foreseeable future, is it not merely a matter of time before india acquires enough firepower to be able to ensure short, decisive, military campaigns? I think the debate should be only about HOW LONG before india acquires...

But to apply you own logic, these countries are are microscopic when compared to India. So even while growing at a slower pace, India adds more value than these countries put together.

Before you start abusing me, let me make one thing clear. I don't suffer from modi-phobia and in all likelihood will vote for him in 2014. Having established that, I should also clarify that I also don't suffer from some kind of wet dreams about the modi camp and its capabilities. So to...

What the hell is all this?! Some here have argued that the hijab provides security to a woman. How does that even begin to make any sense? Why is the onus of a woman's security placed on her choice of attire? Shouldn't she feel secure, irrespective of what she's wearing? Instead of her...

There's no reason to get worked up Mr. Haq. Please try to read carefully. Not once have i contested that prevalence of widespread hunger in india. And the absolute numbers that you have resorted to - do paint a grim picture. But clearly, as per the IFPRI data - which you hold so close to your...

Compelled by jingoistic tendencies, you push your worn out brain cells to the limit for discrediting comprehensive indices such as HDI - WHY??? Because, apparently, it doesn't sit well with your emasculated psyche that your nation has failed you again. However, in situations (which are few and...

No slack should be cut to the govt for its shoddy performance - but its ironic that Mr. Murthy makes remarks on govt inaction - when his own company has fallen from grace for exactly the same reason - lethargy, lack on initiative and inaction. Infosys, once the market leader, now has been...
