Article 19 of the Constitution of India
19. Protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech, etc.—
(1) All citizens shall have the right—
(a) to freedom of speech and expression;
(b) to assemble peaceably and without arms;
(c) to form associations or unions;
(d) to move freely...
That is still NO EXCUSE to infringe upon our Constitutional rights! This in no way justifies suspension of our rights. If people are stupid to incite riots over trivial/silly matters, then there is something fundamentally wrong with our society.
On one hand you people make fun of our country's...
Dude, just watch some episodes....Jesus is constantly made fun of in many programs. Stand up routines constantly poke fun at the religious people. A preacher right of freedom of expression was still passionately defended when he burnt the holy book Koran, when soldiers actually died in...
People make fun of Congress idols all the time! Nehru, Gandhi, Indira, Rajiv, Rahul, Sonia, Priyanka....etc. Does that mean you lot have to be punished for posting and liking slanderous posts about the Gandhi family, who are right now alive and powerful in the Indian political circus?
So why get...
Like I said, people are stupid. People will get offended over small things. If we, citizens, defend the right to freedom of expression, in its entirety, people will understand that anyone can say anything and it is their right, just as they themselves have the right to express their opinions...
Disagree. This one is a slippery slope. Once you start infringing on some rights, there's no telling where it will stop! What was once considered to be a joke will turn and become offensive to someone, and people will get punished for that silly reason!
There is a reason why the 2nd amendment...
Freedom of expression means just that!
People are stupid, they say and do stupid things. Unless by their statements alone, anyone is in harm's way, there is absolutely no need to interfere with anyone's point of view! Egos and sentiments be damned! What if someday, your point of view offends...
Jewish people have always had a relations with the Indian sub-continent for hundreds of years. Some of the earliest Jewish settlers come to India 2500 years ago. You will find many Jewish communities spread over southern and western India. Legend has it that one of the 10 lost tribes of Israel...
What you may have missed: Narendra Modi’s message to China
In the last 36 hours, we have seen intense discussion and speculation on the future of India-Pakistan relations in the wake of Nawaz Sharif attending the swearing in ceremony of Narendra Modi as India’s new Prime Minister. But no one...
You don't get it. Any democratically elected leader with such a large mandate doesn't have to have 'acceptability' shown to him/her by any other leaders elected on much lesser mandates, let alone dictators. A large mandate gives you a much much bigger scepter, so to speak!
Basically that means...
The "acceptability" you speak of has already been provided by majority of 500+ million voters. With that kind of mandate, any democratically elected leader can stand head and shoulders above the rest of the politicians, the world over. Fortunately, Mr. Sharif too has a majority mandate in Pakistan.
Excellent achievement by ISRO. This has to be the first Indian made satellite to travel furthest from Earth!!
Btw, not to sound like a party pooper, what are they comparing here? The entire NASA's Mars mission which put a SUV sized 'Curiosity' rover on the surface of Mars with the help of a...
A turd of fear mongering, paranoid piece of a BS article!! IMHO, there hasnt been one 'pliable' Indian PM amicable to fostering "western interests" in India.
This Tarun Vijay guy is just being a mouthpiece for the BJP, like there are others for other political parties. All 'last minute'...
By who? And what would the target be? Kabul? What infrastructure/assets would that destroy to bring the country to its knees? Taliban doesnt function out of established office buildings. And btw, arent you confusing a band of religiously motivated terror brigands to a legitimate country?

Nope. Medical Technology is not sanctioned. Unless that is it includes equipment which deals nuclear medicine...which then falls under nuclear sanctions.
There is a comprehensive list of sanctions on Iran by US, EU and UNSC available online on credible websites, nowhere does it mention medical...
