Bloom Box: What is it and how does it work? A '60 Minutes' Bloom Box segment has many excited about the home power plant. Is it too good to be true? By Husna Haq Correspondent posted February 22, 2010 at 12:09 pm EST It’s being hailed as the Holy Grail of clean energy: a...

As regards Japan, the culture has a very strong sense of honor and loss of face. Also maybe a lower sense of individualism. That was what may have led to the tradition of Harakiri. Who knows, those cultural factors may still be playing a role.

Your link doesn't appear to have any comparative tables or graphs. Human unhappiness is there everywhere ... causes are different in different places ... for example Latvia is an ex-Soviet republic. Those places went through their own trauma since the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. In...

My dear fellow, I empathize with every poor citizen in every country who is squeezed for a bribe by a cop or a bureaucrat. But the rot starts at the very top - the level of the PMs and party presidents. The lowly govt employees only follow the example of their superiors.

Sometimes people are brainwashed with some religious or political ideology - this can be seen in the case of suicide bombers. Sometimes there could also be family problems, domestic abuse etc. But I think this is basically a symptom of all-round failure of governance - education...

^^^ Pakistan has to adjust its expectations. Musharraf had reached a good understanding of the situation, but the present regime is undoing the progress Musharraf had made. Pakistan's protestations about tyranny, human rights etc have zero credibility. India can very well point out how Pakistan...

Instead of MFN, favourable trade treatment should be given to businesses on a case by case basis. Business entities owned or controlled by Pakistan armed forces constitute about 70% of the market cap of the KSE.

This is a deliberate falsehood to justify your attempts to enslave the Afghans. The only promise that the Kashmiris have from Pakistan is that they will be given the Bengali treatment if they try to resist Pakistani terrorism. In fact, former ISI chief Javed Ashraf Qazi had admitted in the...

First of all you need to stop making the poor Afghans suffer for your imagined grievances on Kashmir. Secondly, the US does not provide any charity to India and has no leverage on Kashmir. It is Pakistan that is taking charity from the US. Even Pakistan accepts that Kashmir is a bilateral...

To be fair, it must be said that there were also Mughals who supported temples. In the latter part of his life the Emperor Akbar became very interested in Sanatan Dharma. He even moved away from Islam and tried to establish his own religion, which he called Din-Ilahi. The Kashi and Mathura...

Don't you think Muslims should be educated about the barbarism, slaughters and temple-destructions perpetrated by the invaders. After all, the vast majority of Muslims are of South Asian descent, and their own ancestors went through that holocaust. Consider for example, the admirable...

Irrespective of whether the temple gets rebuilt at its original location, each child should be taught the history of destruction of temples and Buddha statues, beginning with Afghanistan in 1000 AD.

Do clarify. People of Azad Kashmir do not speak Kashmiri. By your rules, is it OK for a resident of Azad Kashmir to infiltrate across the LoC to fight?

Yes. One can't blow people up in the morning and expect to drink tea with their relatives in the evening. You say the right things but you are in denial. Pakistan has an institutionalized policy of promoting extremism in schools and using non-state actors as strategic assets. Some charity ...

Nobody disputes that the election turnouts have been high despite the fact that the separatists (who are admittedly on Pakistani payroll) had called for a boycott, and had tried to enforce it with violence and intimidation.

So called freedom struggle is nothing but Pakistani terrorism. I admit there are a few local Talibanized elements, but they are a very small minority. I think, in the case of Pakistan, it is necessary to distinguish between oppressed peoples on one hand, like Balochis and Masihs, and their...

Democratic India is addressing the issue by allowing sepraratists to contest elections. Unlike the case of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, where organizations like JKLF are debarred. It is another matter that these separatists are too scared of facing the people. The last time a separatist...

None of these countries call the Indian army in Kashmir an occupying army. And if they did, they would have to say the same about the Pakistani army in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. In any case, would be an Indian prerogative to decide from which visa applicants declarations would be necessary...
