American academic Christine Fair admits Indian officials told her they were ‘pumping money into Balo

Why pick and choose at all? Treat all the same consistently.

Can a person be correct all the times?

Can a person has his/her own bias on a certain subject?

If you can answer these questions in yes, you will have your reply of what you have posted.

The problem here is of picking and choosing what fits one's own pre-conceived ideas and thoughts, not of being able to evaluate the evidence free from such a bias.

Given the previous vicious denials of what Professor Fair says generally here on PDF, why should not the present OP be equally viciously attacked? Or is it that PDF wishes to support only what supports a pre-defined narrative? Alternatively, if all of a sudden, her views here are suddenly credible, then why should her other views not be considered similarly and not be rejected summarily? May be she does have a bias, but by definition, so does PDF if it does the above.

To me it does not matter. Fire away as you wish. Her views, both for and against, continue to have their due effect where it matters in forming opinions. Fair, Haqqani, Rushdie, Haley, YLH, the list of PDF's favorite targets goes on and on quite predictably.

that happens everywhere and not just Pakistan. Christine Fair might be goddess to you so you expect everyone to accept everything she says but considering her closeness with bharati makes her more credible when she comments on India as compared to Pakistan about which she has a bitter past and clear bias.

You are entitled to your personal opinion about her, but unfortunately it does nothing to counter her views which should be the focus of discussion, not her person.

My opinion of her is based on her stupid views.

My opinion of her is based on her stupid views.

And you are entitled to said opinion of her. I have no problem with that at all.

But her views need to be countered with equally well articulated reasoning, not personal attacks.

Fair enough. But it isn't like she read my post. Won't derail the thread further.

As I said before, her views continue to remain influential in forming opinions where it matters. They are best countered in a similar manner, not by personal attacks.

So now PDF will suddenly like to believe what Professor Fair says. Eh?

Ironically she was God for the likes of you and our Indian friends..

She is still his god. That is why he is asking us to believe in whatever she says.

So? It is obvious to all and sundry that India is doing something in Balochistan. I thought according to Pakistanis - giving "moral support" to "freedom fighters" was kosher.

oh so she need bharatis to confirm obvious facts like this? Lol
