Babur himself was born in modern day Uzbekistan but grew around a culture of Persian-Turkic society. Later generation of Mughals were basically inter married with local Indian royal families particularly the Rajputs. Hence the Indo-Persian influence in their architencture and court. The...

What does "softening" their stand mean? If it is recognising Israel's right to exist, that has been done long ago. The Saudi led Arab peace initiative accepted Israel and agreed to not only recognise Israel but also establish full diplomatic and economic relations with it. That was back in 2002...

Finally something I will agree with you on Chengis Khan massacred more Muslims across his career than people of any other religion. Infact Mongols on a whole fought more with Muslim rulers than non-Muslim ones. And he was a follower of a mixture of Buddhism and Shamanism. Something that many...

Correction there, Saudi Arabia and HAMAS are antagonistic. Its on Iran and Syria that HAMAS depends on most of its funding and support. Anyone who knows the basics on ME politics knows this. The fact that this "blog" made such a basic mistake flushes its credibility down the toilet Report...

Why is this being made a Hindu Muslim issue. This is a Dalit group that organised the Beef "festival" not muslims. At the same time, Muslims don't have a problem if someone wants to eat pork. Just that they themselves don't eat pork. You wan't see any Muslim group going around preventing or...

Actually the Arabs in general have a deeper sense of identity as compared to some Pakistanis who are still confused. Most states even if their borders were demarcated post WWII had a historical identity, like Syria, Iraq or Egypt. Libya or Pakistan are examples of names which were never heard of...

Thousands clash with Chinese police in Chongqing district of Wansheng | World news | guardian.co.uk Order was being restored after thousands of people clashed with police in a district of Chongqing that is struggling economically, a local official said. The incident began at the same time...

Actually some would say it was cutting the nose to spite the face: Cutting off the nose to spite the face - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And possibly being outsmarted by the British/US to provide a willing pawn in the new Great game against the USSR.

No one supported the Pakistan scheme until 1940. Not even Jinnah himself. Chaudary Rahmat Ali was the only person who came up with the Pakistan scheme and he was roundly criticized and belittled by all the important Muslim League leaders at that time - forget Congress leaders. These included the...

@Indian Members, Stop feeding Aryan_B He obviously can't respond to my post here http://www.defence.pk/forums/strategic-geopolitical-issues/172476-jinnah-vs-kalam-azad-18.html#post2818154 This shows that he has accepted defeat. The fact that Jinnah had expensive bungalows, drank...

Krishna to pay three-day visit to UAE from Saturday | NetIndian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna will pay a three-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during which the two countries will sign some key agreements on avoidance of double taxation and consular issues. During the...

It wasn't an Indian who started this thread, it was a Pakistani. @Aryan_B The topic is the two telegrams that were exchanged between Maulana Azad and MA Jinnah. Not statistics in India and Pakistan today. Still waiting for a response on this btw...

The fact that you have to rejoice on statistics in India which are admittedly bad by global standard but still BETTER than Pakistani stats to feel good that you are a Pakistani is weirder still. And who is insecure about Pakistan is clear from what is being posted here.

When millions of Muhajirs in Karachi stop listening to him, then I will believe that he has no influence on MQM. Until then, he is only one of the Pakistani who has said that. And when are you going to respond to this post or have you accepted it...

@Aryan_B The head of the largest Muhajir party in Pakistan Altaf Hussain has said partition was the biggest blunder in the history of Mankind. If Col Elahi Bakhsh is to be believed ( he was the doctor looking after Jinnah towards his final days), then according to him Jinnah said more or less...

^^^^Have you tried comparing the stats of Dalits in India and the stats of average Pakistanis? I suggest you do compare the literacy rates, life expectancy, no. of violent deaths e.t.c Then tell me if Maulana Azad was correct?

Ah, ignorance is not bliss on this issue sir. Jinnah was never a president although he wanted to be one. He never had any mass base among Muslims before the 1940s because of his British attitude and style which did not gel with the Muslim masses. He had difficulty speaking Urdu for example...

This telegram is a perfect example of what we call attacking the character of a person rather than discuss the issue. Look at the language used against leader of the largest national party of India at that time and one of the most important Muslim leaders as well. Can anyone consider it...

Huh? Do you know about Islamic principles of equality? The prophet explicitly said there is no difference between an Arab and a non-Arab except in terms of piety and good deeds. The Quran explicity emphasis that aspect of equality among tribes and nations Can you see how you are now going...

Actually Saudi Arabia didn't have anything to supply Pakistanis, it was the Iranians under the Shah who supplied Air crafts and that too have American prodding. Also of note is a cable from the Embassy in Iran dated December 29, 1971 (Document 44) which suggests that F-5 fighter aircraft...
