Umm ... what kind of joke is this? How would a 1-state middle east still be Jewish?

In Vedic India also, the calendar was originally based on the solstices and equinoxes. However that system was gradually replaced around 2000 years back. Glad to see that the Iranians have kept the ancient traditions alive. Happy Nawroz to everybody!

It's a somewhat misleading title ... the shells are just dumb shells not guided shells (e.g. Excalibur). This is only about giving weather inputs to the fire control system.

Greetings to the people of the ancient nation of Babylon!

The wounds of 1984 will remain open until justice is done. However Sikhs should channel their anger against those responsible, instead of being angry at the entire nation. The nation supports the Sikhs in their demand for justice. Those responsible are also oppressing everybody else through...

I quite understand your plight. The average individual has no capacity to separate the wheat from the chaff.

See, if a lunatic mixes up the law of gravity with Santa Claus, it does not invalidate the law of gravity. Discrimination, logic, curiosity and openness is required. Anyway the paper "The Question of the Taj Mahal" by P. S. Bhat and A. L. Athawale has some good data, and is much more reliable...

There are too many Indians who show this feeble Dhimmi thinking. Here is a Pakistani who is not afraid of speaking plainly - Jinnah’s Pakistan By Yaqoob Khan BangashPublished: March 18, 2013 Over the past few days, I have regularly heard the refrain “This is not Jinnah’s...

Not quite Mughal architecture. It was built as a palace, by Raja Mansingh and purchased by Shah Jahan from his grandson Jai Singh. Details are in the Badshahnama of Shah Jahan. But yes, the style is influenced by Persian architecture, so you could call it a Rajput-Persian blend.

It is safe to say that a Congress govt in India will not concede even 1 mm to Pakistan. It will take a very strong govt in India to make any concessions.

You are right. And Ghazi Kasab Shaheed's real name was Ram Singh. Zaid Hamid has certified it.

This Talha from Multan is a good catch, he was the leader and he has started singing. One more Kasab.

If having diplomatic relations with Israel will make Pakistanis more moderate, then it will contribute to peace in the region.

Nahi bhai, he is another Kasab. He should be made to dance for 2-3 years before he is sent to get his virgins.

One can consider supporting AAP in state level elections. In national elections one could support him after a stable Namo vs. AAP 2 party system emerges. Maybe in 2019. Most of BJP (other than Namo) and the whole of Congress are quite useless.

Need to figure out how to achieve a "soft landing" in the region, for which several things are required - - Controlling extremist organizations like Hamas - Ensuring a reasonable standard of living for Palestinians not only in West Bank and Gaza but also in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt...

Kindly avoid labels that might be considered racist. If Jimmy Carter was satisfied with the election it surely could not have been too bad.

Chavez (and also Fidel Castro) have been the defiant little guy standing up to the big boys. As regards "bribing the poor" is concerned I think that is legitimate, a government has to help its poor people get education, healthcare, public transport etc. Shutting down opposition media is less...

This pipeline is a good idea. But I hope Pakistan can pay a fair market price otherwise there will be headaches later.

As they say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. Hate speech must be countered by exposing it to sunlight and arguing against it logically. If you start restricting free speech and imposing blasphemy laws then that is a slippery slope.
