Duryodhan (Jinnah) like Pakistan was the one asking for Partition of Hastinapur (India), when his father Dhritarashtra (Gandhi) made the eldest Pandava Yudhistar (Nehru) the heir.;)
And the Pandavas agreed for...
Actually he did not disinherit her. He actually fought a case in the 1940s claiming that since he is Khoja Shia he does not come under the Muslim inheritance law so as to make sure that his daughter, inspite of marrying a Parsi, still inherit his property.
Opinion: Nation states do not need...

What if they have an elected government that is not Pro-Pakistan and is more closer to say Iran or even India. Will Pakistan again support mujahideen groups to overthrow their government like in 1979.

Question: 2
Does these Pakistanis want Taliban to come to power in Afghanistan instead of a democratic elected govt. If...
Many Pakistanis were not happy about increasing trade relations with India and the MFN status granted last year until the Kashmir and water issues are resolved. However, they are interested in Indo-Pak cricket series and their singers and actors in Bollywood.

And don't get started like that smart guy [ post #6 ] who says it reduces chances of AIDS and STDs. Does he or any circumcised guys has the courage to have it unprotected with these patients...
Read the following 2 links regarding India being the successor state. The UN decided on this issue when Pakistan approached it and then India and Pakistan both agreed on it. I think it was Nehru who made it sure to fight it out in UN that India becomes a successor state and that Pakistan is a...
Interesting, so you are comparing the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan in 21st c. with 10 c. Hindu kingdoms. It would have made some sense(however little) if you had compared them with Ghazni, Qutubuddin and Aurangzeb.
Moreover the main point is that while muslims particularly Pakistanis...
There are many ancient tribes whose descendants still follow some rituals which contradicts the rules of the religion they converted to today. It is pathetic of you to attempt to disgrace a religion merely for scoring points. The festival sacrifice goats and buffalo not cows.
Secondly, I...
Something tells me that the point of starting this thread is because you are peeved at how India, the country is recognized with a 5000 yr old civilization and Pakistan as a 65 yr old nation.
Pakistan no doubt is today the birthplace or inheritor of the Indus valley civilization. But has it...
India is anyways going to connect to this corridor with Myanmar. Why should it be thru Bangladesh when we can do it directly.
On the contrary the East West corridor extends to only Mawlamyine and Kengtung in Myanmar near the Thai border. Myanmar is not going to extend it to their capital and...
My dad once told me about an incident in his chennai branch office. The trash from the shredder was taken out and the muncipality workers refused to take the trash away because they saw some papers were written in Arabic and thought it was the Koran. They protest against the company and the...
