Hi MadDog, Thanks for your quotes. IMHO, religion is (or, at any rate, should be) a science, and as any scientist knows, not all scientific contributions are equally credible or inspired. Then there are the issues of authenticity, and of accuracy of translations. Anyway, your quotes do not...

One year since 26/11, and there is no sign that the trial of the accused is going to start. Meanwhile Hafeez Saeed continues to go around preaching Jihad against the Kaffirs. Bhadrakumar has a very naive outlook.

He is a highly corrupt individual with no loyalty to anything. Will rake up any emotional issue that is not receiving enough attention from the political system.

British Council: Pakistan facing 'frightening' demographic disaster - Telegraph Excerpts: One third of Pakistanis aged 18 to 29 who were surveyed believe in sharia, or Islamic law half have “a great deal of confidence” in religious-based education; just one third advocate democracy...

Well at least it's good that both are of the same religion, otherwise it would cause further trouble. Zubair should consider going to Bangladesh as a Ghar-Jamai.

This is regarding the Samjhauta attack: U.N. sanction on Lashkar operative a blow to Pakistan Purohit is in jail for some other crimes, however.

Difficult to say as of now that the State is behind this. However, it does go pretty high up - these are elite folks. Headley alias Daoud Gilani is the son of a diplomat who was married to an American lady, and Tawahhur Rana's two brothers are Brigadiers in the Pk army.

The demand for Pakistan was strongest in the Muslim-minority area of UP. The people of Muslim majority areas that presently comprise Pakistan never had any fear of Hindu domination in a united India. Therefore such fears had to be artificially created through propaganda, rioting and Direct...

Tch, tch, it really is the simplest explanation. It becomes a "convoluted conspiracy theory" only for those wanting to studiously ignore lots of very well-established data. The general consensus within the Congress was a big-tent approach; what they did not want to do was to recognize communal...

Excerpts from "The Invention of Pakistan: How the British Raj Sundered" by Karl E. Meyer, World Policy Journal, Spring 2003. http://www.worldpolicy.org/journal/articles/wpj03-1/meyer.pdf

That's where Occam's razor comes in. Ultimately it is for the individual to decide what theory best explains the undeniable facts. The polar opposite of the Muslim League was the Hindu Mahasabha (not the Congress or the RSS, by the way). Jinnah and Nehru were both beneficiaries, and both were...

All of science is a "thesis", i.e. interpretation of data. So is Sarila's work. And the data he uses is very sound. I'm not denying that Pakistan was a culmination of a movement. The fanaticism that Jinnah was exploiting in the service of the British has been present since before British rule...

^^^ Thus we see how the referendum in NWFP was only a very small part of overall British plans. I pretty much agree with Sarila - only caveat being that Pakistan was created by the Brits to put a check not only on the USSR - but also on (and primarily on) independent India. Pakistan can...

One has to be aware of the larger geopolitical goals of the British. The best study of this is "The Shadow of the Great Game – The Untold Story of India’s Partition" by Narendra Singh Sarila. Here is a review - well worth reading in full...

Unnecessarily provocative title. Pk is not asking for Indian help and India need not make any unwanted gratuitous offers.

Relevant to this topic is the book "Facts are Sacred" by Wali Khan. Book desription: An excerpt: This books is available online at Facts Are Sacred by Wali Khan

One loose comment by a misguided individual does not become the "Indian sentiment".

Operations far worse than Gaza happened in East Pakistan and Balochistan.

Wait a minute, Pk is suffering from a thousand cuts, but there is no indication that India has anything to do with it.

This is complete non-news. Planners routinely think about all kinds of contingency scenarios, including identification of targets. There was no need, however, for this report to be made public. I'd be very surprised if Pakistan Army hasn't produced similar internal reports.
