Well, you have to see where this is coming from. The terrorists wanted to make a big impact in Mumbai and they did it. People will not forget this for the next fifty years. Kids who are ten years old now and have seen the images on TV will pass on the memories to their children. In a sense...

You cited a number of different mystical doctrines. Amongst these, Buddhism can basically be considered a part of Sanatana Dharma. As regards Christianity, I would say that the Christianity of Jesus, the early Gnostic Church, and saints like St Francis of Assisi is very much at harmony...

Well, Religion is all about "God", and if there can be no personal experience, if it has to be just blind belief, then Religion becomes hollow. But having said that, one must also say Caveat Emptor - there are all kinds of people making all kinds of claims, and some of them are charlatans...

Actually this whole incident was probably a plot that went wrong. In fact, the plan was probably to assassinate Hasina on Feb 24th itself, when she went to the BDR HQ for the BDR Week celebrations. The mutineers had apparently requested Maj.Gen. Shakil Ahmed to allow them to meet her...

By this I don't mean to implicate the entire military, just the Hamid Gul & Mahmoud Ahmed types. I'm sure there are other reasonable folks too.

Agree, not to mention the point that RAW probably does not have the capability of doing things like this. This was a sophisticated operation, and included getting the route of the VVIP convoy changed at the last moment. IMHO this "little known" fellow is just a fall guy who will probably be...

I was not in the bus, but I did listen to what the Sri Lankans had to say. Here, read for yourself: 'I felt a bullet fizz past my ear', says Sri Lanka vice-captain Kumar Sangakkara - Times Online -HK (aka Ram Singh :rofl: )

Off-topic? Maybe. Perhaps I could start a new thread to specifically explore the inside-job angle. Hairbrained? I don't think so. :disagree:

Actually there was no quick thinking on the part of this driver. In fact, he had kept the bus standing still for a full two minutes before he listened to the shouting Sri Lankans who told him to get the hell out. As for the second van carrying the other officials: It should be noted that the...

That raises the question of what criterion should the Quran be judged by. In Sanantana Dharma, spirituality is regarded as a practical science. Sanantana Dharma does not ask for blind belief. Yes, one does have to make an effort to learn and apply that science - just as one has to undergo...

Actually, in Sanantana Dharma, the view would be is that each human being is an expression of Divinity, or Divinity in human form. But in the ordinary person, the Divinity is obscured by Ignorance and Delusion.

I don't think that is true. Every soul is on a journey to Self-realization and IMHO there are many people around with varying degrees of Self-Realization. It is a process of evolution that takes place over many lifetimes. Fully enlightened people are very rare but IMHO such ones also exist...

Terrible. Too bad for the laid off workers. Is it the end of the American dream? Bye Bye Miss American Pie? Unfortunately the American people have been too self-satisfied with Pizzas and ball games. They never saw that they have been hijacked by scoundrels. The trillion dollar bail-out is...

Instead of taking pride in hard work, educating their children, and building their lives and communities, some people take pride in shooting defenseless people on railway platforms in other countries. What bravery! Ya Ghazi! Is it surprising that Pakistan is being regarded as a malignant...

Slightly off-topic but I don't want to start a new thread for this remark: We are now in the information age. We've had printing presses for quite a while, but the true information age commenced only with the arrival of the internet. With the internet, even a person of modest means is...

This guy may or may not be Indian. Anybody can pose as anybody and post anything.

It is likely that there is serious inside involvement. Consider 1. The mysterious phone call that got the route changed at the last moment. The caller was obviously intimately familiar with police procedures. 2. The fact that the all terrorists escaped unhurriedly. Not a single terrorist...
