Thanks for clarifying. I am not an expert in military procedures, but still, how judicious is the practice. Firing solely on instinct, without knowing who your target is, particularly, in a civilian area (it was a market place, wasn't it ?), is akin to what is known as indiscriminate firing...

Something seemed a little odd to me. Report suggests, that there was only one attacker who was pinned down by FCs and he blew himself up. Report also suggests, that gun shots were heard. Now, if there was only one terrorist then it stands to reason, that no one else was firing at the FCs. Which...

All said and done, there is one tiny thing that is really troubling me. Why would a kid (since he is seeking admission to a school, I would assume he is below 18) gloss so much over religion. So much so, that he had to drag his potential educators to the court. Legally, he is not even considered...

Kudos to the judge, although, the mention of Taliban was in bad taste. True, that "One guy's beard does not do anything to another guys facial hair", but if the institution has any specific rule against a "guy's beard", then the "guy's beard" infringes upon that rule. Remember, "Your...

Don’t want to wake you up from that nice slumber that you are in, but may be, someday, when you have some time to spare, you may just want to take a peek into this Human Rights Watch Report, titled "With Friends Like These..." Mind you, it is the same organisation whose other reports get...

Not exactly a lawyer, but close to it. A part of my job description requires me to interpret legal pronouncements (mostly related to taxation) by GoI.

Well, plebiscite is as per UNSC resolutions, which also requires Pakistan to do that teeny-tiny thing before plebiscite is even considered. So everytime you sing "plebiscite", we get to strum that "get-your-hands-off-P0K-first" guitar. Its a duet, you see. 60 yrs after the conflict, it is...

We will. But do let us know when Pakistan is pulling all her tribesmen from P0K. Till then it's just useless finger pointing. Does Pakistan support P0K Kashmiri's, right to self-rule ? Agreed, although, I would like to call it a "gesture" rather than a "move".

Firstly, if you had carefully read what Pakistan accuses India of and why so, you would have realized, that its not me who is "cherry picking". Secondly, if, by occupying the heights of Siachen, there is no alteration of LoC (which Pak accuses India of), then there is no alteration of "the...

The clause that you have cited is the one that deals with conflict (differences) resolution. Till 1983, Siachen was not recognized by any party as “conflict”. Therefore this clause was not applicable at that time. The main allegation against India is that, by virtue of last para, Clause...

Last para, Clause (ii) to the Shimla agreement states that “the line of control resulting from the ceasefire of December 17, 1971, shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognised position of either side. Neither side shall seek to alter it unilaterally, irrespective of...

General assembly resolutions, accept those dealing with the internal management of the UN, or Chapter VI resolutions are non-binding in nature and therefore outside the scope of UN. These resolutions are legally considered to be recommendatory in nature. UN Chater has nothing to do with...

As per first clause to Shimla agreement, the broader relationship between the two countries shall be governed by the "principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations". It doesn't bind the Shimla agreement to UN charters. By virtue of second clause, any specific dispute between the...

This is disgusting. In fact, I do not have words to express how nauseating this is.

So true. It is this uniqueness of Islamic Bengal that the west Pakistani leadership couldn't grasp.

aare chi chi ki je bolen...jamindar bole lojja deben na.... Pleased to meet you to.

Good, thanks for admitting evasion. I think I got my answer. Thank you, you are too kind.

Nice evasion. The question, however remains unanswered. Should the implementation of central govt. policies be taken by the people of a state as a favour or as their right ?

Are you kidding ? So if the central govt. of India, which is seating in Delhi, builds roads, dams, schools, colleges, hospitals or factories in a state, all residents of that state should take it as a favour and not as their rights ? This is a new lesson for me. Really.
