Peepli Live Destroys Farid Zakaria's Myth of "Peaceful, Stable and Prosperous" India

So now no more Sikh living in my country??Last time i checked its one of the richest state in India and flag bearers of green revolution in India..There are some black moles in History but people moved on..seems like people across the border still stuck on 1984 :whistle:


was that what i said? :hitwall:


:what::what: who is denying caste system still not exists..it is helping backward people to come to mainstream..

right! :lol:

These multiple languages and multiple culture what makes my country special..Thats what we called Unity in Diversity..you wont understand it by reading some blog think tank..its beyong your reach :)

according to articles i posted, in hindustan it sometimes causes tensions too --- like the maharashtra example. No biggie, i was pointing something out. No need to have your period over it.


Lolz pissed off think tank??Did i said i brought that up?i was complementing you that you have more interest in my country when your country have more issue than us :lol: seems like i hurt you ..

You keep bringing up ''Thinktank'' and ''hurting'' me. It seems I post something and you are quite the emotional reactionary. No point in arguing any further with you, it's a waste of time.


Good that you finally understood ,now go and think about your country rather than poking nose in to other countries..first clean your own backyard..

there are other topics about how we can ''clean our backyard'' this isnt one of them

you join a Pakistan Defence forum, then get mad when during a discussion somebody ''pokes nose'' in other countries.


get real, or get lost. :rolleyes:
 
Atleast in India people have the courage and intelligence ...to see within themselves and criticize at their own ignorance and mistakes......unlike following notions without ever questioning them ....which a lot of people and nations do .....
this way Indians and India will progress ... becoz no1 will solve ur problems for u u need to do it yourself and for that u need to realize ur mistakes and accept that u can be wrong ....


:coffee:

Is there anything you wanna discuss or you just want us to see your trolling show off??I joined this forum because of its quality which is decreasing lately because some members indulged in trolling with out any respect to their posisation ..


get real, or get lost. :rolleyes:

Wish you follow atleast one time what you say
 
Fareed Zakaria suspended for plagiarism, reports NY Times:

Time magazine and CNN suspended Fareed Zakaria, the writer and television host, on Friday after he apologized for plagiarizing sections of his column on gun control in the Aug. 20 issue of Time.

Some passages in the column, “The Case for Gun Control,” closely tracked those in a longer article on guns in America by the historian Jill Lepore, which appeared in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker.

The similarities in the texts were spotted by the conservative Web site NewsBusters, and quickly spread across the Internet after appearing on the media blog JimRomenesko.com.

Mr. Zakaria issued a statement Friday afternoon saying: “Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my Time column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore’s essay in the April 23 issue of The New Yorker. They are right. I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault. I apologize unreservedly to her, to my editors at Time, and to my readers.”
------------
Earlier this year, Mr. Zakaria was criticized for giving a commencement speech at Harvard that was very similar to the one he had earlier given at Duke.

You are correct about Zakaria's anti-Pakistan agenda. Here is Pakistani-American Professor Akbar Ahmad speaking about how Fareed Zakaria "har haftay Pakistan for ek-dau laath mar detay hain"......

Here's a Reuters' blog post on lack of hygiene in India:

My Indian friends and I joke around a lot about me as the typical white American guy visiting India. Cows! Con men! Colors! Most people I’ve met in India have restricted their reactions to my westerner-in-the-east experiences to gentle teasing. When I stuck a picture of a man urinating in public on my Facebook page, calling it one more picture of what you see everywhere you go in India, people weren’t as patient. What was I doing? Insulting the nation? Focusing on the ugly because it’s what all the westerners do when they visit India? Why does India provoke such visceral reactions in visitors?

Public urination, public defecation, dirt, garbage, *****, the poor living on the street — talking about these things, even acknowledging that they’re in front of your face, risks making your hosts unhappy, and possibly angry. It’s the third rail of India, and the voltage can be lethal. That’s why I was surprised when B.S. Raghavan decided to touch it with all 10 fingers.

Raghavan’s column in The Hindu Business Line newspaper begins with this headline: Are Indians by nature unhygienic?

Consider these excerpts:

From time to time, in their unguarded moments, highly placed persons in advanced industrial countries have burst out against Indians for being ****** and dirty in their ways of life. A majority of visitors to India from those countries complain of “Delhi belly” within a few hours of arrival, and some fall seriously ill.

There is no point in getting infuriated or defensive about this. The general lack of cleanliness and hygiene hits the eye wherever one goes in India — hotels, hospitals, households, work places, railway trains, airplanes and, yes, temples. Indians think nothing of spitting whenever they like and wherever they choose, and living in surroundings which they themselves make unliveable by their dirty habits. …

Open defecation has become so rooted in India that even when toilet facilities are provided, the spaces round temple complexes, temple tanks, beaches, parks, pavements, and indeed, any open area are covered with faecal matter. …

Even as Indians, we are forced to recoil with horror at the infinite tolerance of fellow Indians to pile-ups of garbage, overflowing sewage, open drains and generally foul-smelling environs.

There’s plenty more that you can read in that story, but I’ll direct you to the article. I’ll also ask you some questions:

Some people say you shouldn’t point out these problems, and that every country has problems. Do you agree with this statement? Why?
Does anyone disagree with Raghavan’s descriptions of these sights and smells?
Is this even a problem? Or should people get used to it?
Should visitors, especially ones from countries where people are generally wealthier, say nothing, and pretend that they don’t see unpleasant things?
As for me, I can say this: I got used to it, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t notice it. Indians notice it too. Otherwise, people wouldn’t suggest public shaming campaigns against people urinating in public, they wouldn’t threaten fines for doing it, and they wouldn’t respond with relief to plans to finally make sure that toilets on India’s trains don’t open directly onto the tracks. Of course, these are people in India. It’s a family, taking care of business the family way.

As for me, the message usually seems to be: “If you don’t love it, leave it.” It would be nice if there were some other answer. Acknowledging problems, even ones that are almost impossible to solve, makes them easier to confront.
