@ Jonasad, as many have already pointed out this appears to be a well orchestrated 'drama' to secure political asylum in the UK. However, I suspect the reasons behind it are not as straightforward as bringing his family over, getting a red passport and living in a council owned semi in Rochdale...

TL, you make some good points but I am afraid Pakistan may never achieve its true potential primarily as a result of the actions of past governments (and the general population through its tacit complicity) which allowed religion to permeate every aspect of the Pakistani state and individual's...

Not true..Pakistanis are among the poorest and most underacheiving immigrant groups in the UK and most likely in the rest of Europe. I have come across a few Pakistani professionals but most are employed in unskilled/semi skilled occupations or on welfare..Please check the figures from the...

I am sure Kalmadi is cacking himself and hoping the games pass off without any further incident. I hope the government, and more importantly the people of India, hold him to account once the games are over..

Varghese, it is a racial term..ask the Jews. There is no such thing as an Aryan..it was initially used as a loose term to refer to people who are thought to have migrated into Central Asia from Eastern Ukraine and later on into the Indian subcontinent but that was before Hitler adopted it...

Guess its the devious Hindoo minds at work again...allocating a darker genetically inferior Hindoo girl to the Pakistani contingent of aryan,greek persian, arab (fill in the blanks) lineage to malign the superior race:rofl:

Care to explain?? I personally only believe in information that is held as credible by the mainstream majority and backed by substantial evidence (eye witness accounts, recorded transcripts etc) but I realise what's credible for Indians and the West may not be credible for others. As far as I...

I am skeptical of any such miracles, be it in relation to Islam or any other religion, especially if there is a perfectly reasonable medical explanation for it. You are obviously free to believe what you choose but be open to the idea that there might be an alternative explanation for the...

I don`t see any comments on here from Indians celebrating the destruction of the Babri mosque. What Babar did was wrong and so were the actions of the miscreants who demolished the mosque. As many have already stated here, numerous temples were destroyed by invaders in the past but two wrongs do...

Omar, there are fringe elements in all societies and I doubt whether sentiments expressed on BR are representative of how mainstream Indian society views Pakistan or Pakistanis. I am not contesting the fact that there are large sections of Indians who do not consider Pakistan a friendly nation...

Now would I be right in assuming that believing 9/11 to be an inside job would suit your particular world view, which may be why you are happy to go with the "conspiracy theory" at present, despite there being no substantive evidence to support it? 9/11 was such an unprecedented event that...

SMC, its heartening to hear that you accept the 9/11 conspiracy theory for what it is. You have given the defnition for a conspiracy theory but haven`t quite explained how you discriminate between a CT and the "truth"? What is, in your eyes, "credible evidence" that would change your mind on...

All governments engage in propoganda and this was just an example on it. I don`t think this piece of news gained much traction with the Indian public...

SMC, let's run with this for a bit..So you are basically arguing that one's "truth" is another's conspiracy theory. But do you accept that with any contested matter, where there are conflicting point of views, there would be one version that would be the "truth", i.e. that which accurately...

I am not aware of any conspiracy theories that are widely held as the "truth" in India.Propoganda from various quarters does exist but people tend to take a more nuanced approach to such things...

But only nutjobs believe in them and not a significant part of the population..that's my point

Care to respond to post no 33 by Kinetic?? What is your objection to A Kasab accepted as Pakistani when several investigative journalists, including ones from Dawn, have confirmed this? At what point does a conspiracy theory become the "truth" or vice versa? Are you doubts confined to...

Hmmm..and I can point you to sites which claim that the Appollo landings never took place:angel:

GT, you may be right but what is concerning is the level of hatred for Hindus/Jews/Christians or anyone not perceived as one of "us" that is evident among common people (I am assuming that the views expressed on this forum are fairly representative of the general thinking among the educated...
