Sigh ... There are dozens of news reporters from dozens of publications around the world who will say that that is a brazen lie. That is why Pakistani credibility is now so low. India knew it all along, but now the rest of the world is also forced to admit it.
India would like to work for...
Last time Zardari was saying such things, we had the Mumbai attack soon thereafter. So such statements should be received with some caution and skepticism.
Just try to answer 2 questions:
1. Why did Pakistan officially declare that Kasab was not a Pakistani?
2. Why the frantic cover-up at Faridkot?
Problem being that it was not clear then, nor is it clear now, who is in charge. But if there is an interlocuter who is authorized by all...
Actually the darkest incident in modern India was the Sikh Holocaust, sponsored by the Congress in 1984.
Gujarat 2002 had much fewer casualties. There have been several incidents of rioting with more casualties than Gujarat - for example the Bhagalpur massacre, sponsored by the Kangressis and...
No, Pakistan had officially concluded Kasab was not Pakistani, even though they very well knew he was. Look at a Pakistani source: Kasab is not a Pakistani: Pak high commissioner - GEO.tv . Also see interviews by Zardari to international media. All lies. Not to mention the frantic activity by...
Even if that's true its very understandable. A credible interlocutor is needed. Talking to Musharraf then would have been like talking to Zardari while the "Long March" protests were raging.
The Mumbai atrocity was perpertrated within a couple of months of Zardari's inauguration. India was in fact looking forward to resuming the dialogue.
In any case, since Pakistan is so sincere in its fight against terrorism, you should be punishing the Mumbai culprits on a priority basis. I...
This is preposterous. What is the great principle in telling lies when you already knew the facts? You are telling me that newspaper reporters could track down Kasab's parents but ISI had no clue? I'm afraid the desparate cover up attempts do indeed nail Pakistan's complicty.
Not true - India had nobody to talk to after Musharraf got destabilized. Now punish the culprits, provide a credible interlocuter, and we're back in business.
Not sure if this is the right thread for this but I did not want to start a new thread. Following is an excerpt from a report by Dawn that talks about some pamphlets being distributed by Pak Army.

Pakistan needs to first take action against the Mumbai culprits. Pakistan's complicity in Mumbai 26/11 is conclusively demonstrated by the absurd lengths to which the Pak govt went in trying to hide the terrorists' origins. Kasab's parents are apparently still missing, though some newspapers did...
Best wishes to Pakistan army for tacking TTP problem.
Poor people are going through too much suffering.
The concern is not so much about a direct TTP threat to India, but rather about where the TTP is getting support from, and what is the agenda of such supporters for South Asia.
Now this is becoming a very unfortunate humanitarian situation. Poor people are going through too much suffering.
Best wishes to Pakistan army to take care of TTP problem.
Although there are problems between Indian and Pakistan, it is not in India's interest to see forces like TTP being...
You are certainly entitled to your beliefs.
There was a discussion some time back with Mod Agnostic about what is and isn't Kosher. I think that post is within the limits - but I am sure the Mods will take their own view of it.
One of the good things about such a forum is that people are...
Re housing for less well-off people. There is a lot of money to be made at the bottom of the pyramid. Current real estate prices are unrealistic and the bubble is in the process of bursting.

Nice article.
Very true. India's position is quite mild and the plan for resolution of differences had already been agreed by Musharraf and Manmohan Singh. One has to move beyond rigid stances and UN resolutions.
However, that plan may not be acceptable to Jihadi factions within and...
This is on the general topic of the US Pak Af summit meeting.
