Because, as I said, Multan is the more prominent town, and Alberuni mentions it as being in the vicinity of Bhillamala. It makes perfect sense if the author is not directly concerned with the birthplace of Brahmagupta. The Strasbourg and Montreal univs probably took that second hand Multan...

The western parts of Pakistan share more with Afghani history, but even parts of Afghani history are shared with India, so depends on the time period. OTOH, Eastern provinces of Pakistan share a lot of history with the north-western Indian provinces. I think Niaz summed up the situation quite...

And the idea that the entity formed by drawing an arbitrary boundary based on Muslim population in 1947 happened to coincide exactly with an enitity which remained largely isolated from the rest of India for most of history, is highly absurd. The fact is that Pakistani history and society is...

Its not. 'Hindu' originally refered to any inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, but only in recent times have some of the religious practices of India become associated with the word "Hindu". The fact is that "Hindu" can still be used for any inhabitant of India - whether he believes in...

Agno, I think you are avoiding the point. The excerpt clearly shows that JuD is not some innocent school, it was and is the headquarters of the LeT. Now that this has been established, its irrelevant where the militant was trained, but from what he's saying, its probably somewhere near...

Ancient India has nothing to do with colonialism, and you know nothing whatsoever about the social and political structures in Ancient India. lets just leave it a that.

The group’s sprawling 200 acre headquarters at Muridke outside of Lahore, believed to have been constructed with an initial gift from Osama bin Laden’s Afghan operations and sustained since through contributions by ISI, Saudi charities, Islamic NGOs, and Pakistani expatriates in...

Gosh, I dunno, maybe they would'nt let them in? Yeah rite -snap some shots and come out .:lol:

Now we're talking! This is the kind of response I expect.

Yeah, I'm sure the JuD, which was desperately trying to prove itself a "Humanitarian Organization", would stack up Kalashnikovs against the walls when they invited journalists over. :lol:

Yes, LeT were well known for combining hi-technology with terrorism, hence the favour they found with the Pakistani establishment. Here's something you'd want to read: Its the Congressional Testimony about the Mumbai attacks from the Carnegie Endowment for Peace...

Gosh Asim, what a way to sidestep the point. Which is that showing glossy pictures of JuD headquarters proves squat.

Erm Immediate neighbourhood might mean anything between 500 mts and 10 kms. And again, don't expect google earth to show a big label saying "Terrorist Training Camp". The things are probably makeshift places with very little built-up area.

Its not only Americans, my friend. Applies to all humans.

How is that going to help? I can post beautiful pictures of Mumbai. Doen't mean that slums don't exist.

Sorry? Again I repeat - do you think they provide training within what was clearly an academic complex? The Academic complex is for JEHADI INDOCTRINATION, not ARMS TRAINING. Arms training was obviously conducted elsewhere, but quite close to the Headquarters.

Headquarters doesn't have to refer to one single complex. He probably was referring to the general area.

Don't be ridiculous please. The "headquarters" was just a front for the LeT, whose terror camps are situated in the same area, but away from the urban populations. Duh.

Obviously, it would be on the outskirts somewhere. I don't think terrorists are dumb enough to practice their training on the side of the main road.
