Good Lord, her parents sent her to Ukraine to study medicine, and the next thing they know is that she has embraced Islam, and is living in Mardan, NWFP, married to a Pakistani who abandoned his studies. All I can say is that may everybody involved be happy.

Not in 850 AD, and certainly not in Uttaranchal. Bin Qasim had invaded Sindh, but his successors had been defeated by Rajputs. The next invasions, by Turkics, happened about 300 years later.

Sir kidnapping tribal girls and using them for sexual pleasure of Naxal leaders, blowing up phone towers and preventing road construction is hardly pro-people activity. Historically the Congress party has been very soft towards these Maoists, may be they are giving a share of the extorted...

Antony is deeply involved is the Agusta-Westland corruption scam, in which Maino's Italian relatives received huge kickbacks. Obviously he has vested interest in destroying the DRDO, so that he can get more commissions for Maino. I think the better policy would be that if DRDO fails to meet...

Sigh ... what about all those Christian youth who attacked their own Churches in order to incite hatred against Hindus among Christians? (Mangalore Weeds within - Seven Arrested for Damaging Church Property) As regards Modi, take a look at how genuine Indian Christians relate to him - Shri...

Hmm ... 18 million tons was reduced to 13.3 and now down to 11. It is not good to exploit anybody who is going through a hard time ... but I think India should increase imports to some extent, at discounted price. The US have sanctions against Iran, but I think it is possible to avoid sanctions...

Actually they don't really need Port Blair, since they already have a defense pact with Singapore, which is pretty close by.

From the point of view of the woman, what is important is commitment and security. In my opinion a secure polygamous marriage can be better than no marriage. However, under Muslim Family Law, protection for women is weak, with men having option for Talaq on a whim, retaining custody of kids...

Which is not a good practice at all, especially for women.

Sex out of wedlock has never been recommended in India, although professional prostitutes have existed.

It is true that biologically speaking humans are at the peak of their reproductive capability at age 15 or 16 for women, and age 17 or 18 for men. But in the modern world, one is not ready to bear family responsibilities at that age.

Certainly if she has converted to Christianity then she will face the death penalty for Apostasy in Pakistan, as per Sharia Law.

False premise. Genetic studies show that Indic population has been stable for about 40,000 years. So everybody is just as native as anybody else.

I think India should help Afghanistan in various development projects, non-lethal military supplies (BP jackets, radars, jeeps, trucks etc) and also in military training. The money thus saved by the Afghans could be used to buy good value lethal weapons from anywhere in the global market.

If you were able to stop corruption and put your own house in order, you would save a lot more than $15 billion. All aid has some kind of price tag. In the 1980's Pakistan was able to get a lot of aid in return for facilitating the anti-Soviet Jihad, among other things. Although many...

I think very gradual incremental progress might be possible. India may be able to influence other nations' policies towards Pakistan, to an extent, but that may not be enough, at least initially, to get Pakistan itself to change. There will always be hard core elements in Pakistan who...

First you declare that this has nothing to do with RAW, fair enough. Next moment you talk about "revenge". Please decide what you want to say.

Let us be clear about one thing. Most of the "Kashmiri" Jihadis getting killed in Kashmir are actually illiterate boys from Pakistani Punjab.

I think all Nehru-Gandhi family memorials should be consolidated into a modest memorial in a suitable place like Lucknow.

That is a communal mindset, you should instead provide a boost to all genuinely disadvantaged individuals. Here you want the govt to give one genuinely poor person a kick while embracing some else based on his communal identity. Actually corrupt govts do this to reinforce the communal mindset...
