How many of you heave seen this movie? Cinema Paradiso

Jeez, YOU are unashamedly ignorant

I see your powers of observation are wanting. Dude, its easy sitting in there India and passing judgement and comments about people who you havent even met personally. And equally ignorant. Regionalism is definitely different from actual racism. But Indians ARE racist. One needs to actually see...

Not really. In my experience here in US, it was a Pakistani family who really went out of their way to help a needy desi! When my own compatriots shunned or turned their holier than thou noses up! Indians are inherently racist, and everything can and will be used against a person to...

And that was the limit of 'democracy' then. Many times the Zamindars choose people to serve on these boards. BS. Kuch bhi, aivai? There was no 'sprite' of democracy! Arre baba, phirse read what I posted.

Yaar :disagree:, kabhi poorie post read to kar liya karon!

IMHO, No. The democracy was not mature. There were no other political parties which wielded the kind of cloud and power that congress possessed. Add to that, there was virtually no opposition to the main characters in the congress party, this simply because Indian independence was won due to a...

The boat has already sailed, no? For a scion of a political dynasty, the statements he makes are utter rubbish! Somebody make his IQ public! Not fit to be a leader at all! Even most first gen political offsprings come out with measured well balanced statements!

Looks like solid fuel rocket propellant of a launched missile. Seen it in some night time anti-tank missile vids somewhere on these forums. Three arty pieces (middle one spins around), long exposure shot....maybe they are triangulating on a target position?

Definitely not defending the Nehrus nor Gandhis, but I tend to stick to one topic at a time and discuss/debate it through to gain as much insight into the topic as possible.

Anti-tank missile? Laser Range finders?

East India Company and British Raj are two different things. But you re right, in that they exploited India for their own needs. He was not exactly a spark. There were many others who indulged in armed rebellion. The British were already under lot of pressure with the protests by the...

Oh, please spare the political correctness classes here. Bongs, Kannads, Gultis, Gujjus, Tams etc...we all call each other names in open conversations. No one ever minds that. Anywho... I was neither targeting you specifically (I know u not Bong), nor the Bengalis as a people. I was pointing...

Netaji's blunder was to go the military way, when he had no experience nor was he a great strategist! He could not deal with little political bickerings!! The movement failed because the leadership was imprisoned before anything could get off in a coordinated fashion. The British govt acted...

There were a lot of events and factors which led to Indian independence, over a very long period of time. It was an arduous, step by step process in which many parties and individuals played important roles at specific times. If Indian independence would have been the result of British empire...

Try again, You powers of deduction are very poor.

And what do you assume my race is? Didnt the British first establish their bases in Bengal? From the East India Company to the British crown? Bombay/Maharashtra, Mysore etc were deemed to be very unruly for the British to establish a base, but not Bengal. Wonder why?

I did read up and that is why I repeat, Netaji was NOT the spark. If that is what you want, then the initial battle challenging the supremacy of East India Company forces in India can be called as sparks. The 1857 mutiny can be classified as the spark for real independence. Netaji was simply an...

You didnt read what I had posted earlier. TL,DR; Indian independence was the culmination of various events and factors. No single man was responsible to affect the course of events overall, but the contributions of many at their specific times cannot be ruled out and hence they are all...
