That's a laudable thought but how? The bottom line is war dehumanises people. I don`t think soldiers seen in the footage executing blindfolded and defenseless captives and sexually degrading women, their comments about their victims, the crazed look in their eyes..I don`t think they would have...
I agree there is awareness, certainly among Tamils and people in India, that the Sri Lankans deliberately targeted civilians during the final phases of their campaign against the LTTE, possibly in order to teach the populace a 'lesson' for their apparent support of the terrorists. I believe...
Horrifying documentary on heinous war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan army on Tamil civilian caught up in the final purge against the LTTE on 2009. Although the LTTE were equally vicious and showed little compassion for non combatants, the manner in which the Sri Lankan army appears to have...
@DV-A couple of things, you should add an option for 'no foreign involvement' to the poll plus, since you claim to be based in Russia, you should know that FSB is Russia's internal security service, the equivalent of FBI, so change it to SVR (Sluzhba Vneshnoi Razvedki) instead..

FAISALABAD:
Pamphlets labelling members of the Ahmadiyya community Wajibul Qatl (liable to be murdered), and inciting people to publicly attack followers of the faith, are being openly and widely circulated in Punjabs textile...
Fascinating documentary on JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) operations in Afgahnistan/Pakistan, which incorporates the drone campaign. It explores objectives behind the drone attacks and how they have evolved in recent months in anticipation of US retrenchment from Afghanistan (which...
Hammy, Clinton was due to visit Pak last week but deferred it to coincide with Gen Mullen's visit? Why? This is a clear message to Pakistan, reinforced with a not so covert military threat in the form of a 5 star general standing alongside the state secretary at the press conference. Pakistan's...
Looks like Obama has declared open season on Pakistan..
US hands over ‘most wanted terrorists’ list to Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: The United States has drawn up a list of five militant Islamic leaders it expects Pakistan to provide intelligence about immediately and possibly target in...
Reports are emerging that the attack was carried out by the IMU, under guidance from Ilyas Kashmiri and logistical support from local sympathisers and TTP. This might explain the 'RAW trained Afghan Pusthun look' (as spotted by the Webmaster) of the attackers..
Can we now put an end to wild...
Correction- Muslims in Kerala have long been pro- Indian Union Muslim League, a blatantly communal outfit (as the name suggests), vestige of a political movement that led to India's partition (although we should thank it for doing so given the current state of Pakistan) that draws much of its...
Innocent, your post reveals that
a) You have no understanding of the concept of secularism-This, from Wikipedia-Secularism is "Secularism is the belief that government or other entities should exist separately from religion and/or religious beliefs". So having separate laws for the Muslims...
Hmm..looks like Hindu tolerance is being tested to its limits in Kerala..I`ve always felt parts of Kerala are another Kashmir in the making and with the rise of outfits like the NDF and PDP along with the insidious communalism of IUML etc , this could well be coming true...

This has been point of much debate since the row over Malinga and Gayle erupted.I suppose Malinga has some justification for opting out of the test series but with Gayle, he clearly sees his future within IPL rather than the Windies national side. Also, I notice that a lot of senior Indian...
Glad it worked:thank_you2:
I totally agree that the scale of violence is staggering and at a different level to that witnessed in places like Mumbai. The closest analogy would be the rampant lawlessness observed in parts of Latin America, Mexico or the favelas of Rio etc. Even in those...
Fascinating documentary on Channel 4 charting the life of 2 individuals at the frontline of Karachi's fight against sectarian and gang related violence.
