Where there's a will there'e a way. Unshorn Sikhs are serving Indian and British armed forces with distinction in the modern age. I am sure there are ways to accommodate them in the US armed forces as well.

Containment-Lite By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN Published: November 9, 2010 Don’t believe everything you read in the paper. Take this headline that appeared a couple weeks ago, when I was in New Delhi, in The Hindustan Times: “U.S. Not Seeking to Contain China: Clinton.” It was referring to a...

The US needs more people like him in the armed forces. May he rest in peace.

It was mentioned. I read it in TOI. Not on the cover pages of course where Obama and his entourage got prime coverage. If you ask me. The Indian media does a typical what we call a "bhed chaal" in Punjabi everytime an issue crops up. They all follow each other. I was amazed at the...

Yeah? A Punjabi trusts no one with his food. :)

I know. But I plan to continue poking holes in his eloquent theories whenever I find time. I once saw him at Khan Market in Delhi. I was torn between giving him a piece of my mind and a piece of my knuckles. I ended up doing neither. My extended lunch session of Lamb Pasta in vodka sauce at Big...

I just finished Open, Andre Agassi's autobiography. Its a a recommended read for any tennis fan. The guys a typical flawed genius. The first sentence of the book hits you the hardest. "I hate tennis. I have always hated it since I was 5". I have now picked up the "Undercover Economist" by Tim...

Jawed Naqvi earns his bread and butter criticizing India for the rupees of his employers and the amusement of his audience. He must have written hundreds of weekly columns for Dawn, but he hasn't written one that shows anything positive about the country. How can that be? Does he find nothing...

Who told you India is anti-Pashtuns? India is pro-peaceful and neutral Afghanistan, Pashtuns and non-Pashtuns included. India only supported the NA because Pakistan was supporting the Taliban.

Finally, somebody realized the stupidity of it all. When India tones it down, Pakistan will have no reason to carry on with the pomp and show. And only an insecure kid will see this as India running away from a fight.

Super-sixes? Really? We are counting these as well? Chalo as long as it makes my Pak brothers' day.

So the Indian Amry opened fire across the border into a mass of people.? Pray what were the people doing so close to the border? Where were the Pak Rangers? This news story is cr@p!

I have mentioned in previous threads that Azaadi should be discussed. If discussing it brings the Kashmiris and the State to the table, so be it. At least it will get them talking.

Talent is simply not enough. Couple it with hard work and you can do wonders.

You are correct as well. Dogras are Rajputs.

Hari Singh's forefathers were Dogra Sikh converts and Generals in Ranjit Singh's army. They began ruling their governorship of Kashmir as an independent kingdom after the Sikh Empire disintegrated. Somewhere between then and now, they converted back to Hinduism.

You do understand that it isnt compulsory for every Christian to attend mass. Just like any other religion Christianity too has its levels of involvement. From a practicing and probably converting missionary to a non-practicing believer there can be N types of Christians. What you're imagining...

Wow..lot of bigotry on display here.

Interesting read. While inevitably comparing it to the scenario in Indian elite colleges, I think the religious angle is more or less non-present. However the definite stress on management, finance and engineering degrees at the cost of humanities and arts is the same in India as well.

And both of them were proved wrong.
