What you will never see again if the Hindutva faction gets their way.

That is why they are called "Hindu" Taliban.

I see your point, but Taliban is much more than this.

I know in West everything negative is called Taliban, but this is a government which has done much good for Afghanistan.

In fact the Taliban were the only ones who gave the Afghans a stable govt in a century.

Sometimes it feels Islamophobia is the glue that binds Indians together. United in their hate for Islam. Otherwise BIMARUS will fight with Southerners who will fight with Bengalis who will fight with Himachalis.

It kind of reminds me of 90s Pakistan, although Pakistan's problems were mainly political infighting and mudslinging.

I find it very interesting that India prospered with secularism, but Pakistan suffered greatly under secularism.

Pakistanis got soured by secularism and hence Islamic identity resurged.

Under a religious government and identity, Pakistan has become much more sensible, people have developed a patriotic mindset,, and problems with minorities have also gone down.

India was never secular.

The lack of media and Internet just prevented the Truth from filtering out.

Yes, even Barakzai kings looted their nation for British stipends, and promoted antagonism against Afghanistan's neighbors, including Pakistan, which was a natural ally.

I'm not religious but I'd take a religious government that guarantees rights of all its citizens over a 'secular' government like PPP any day.

In India, the image of Taliban is synonymous with restrictions, moral policing, and interference in other people's way of life. That is why the connotation - "Hindu" Taliban for RSS.

Us liberals hate any form of restrictions imposed by others.

We really see Taliban and RSS as two different sides of the same coin.

One of god's greatest gifts to mankind....tamarind in general I suppose.

I am not a rice eater, but ever since I learnt how to make fluffy, dry long-grained rice (Sona Masoori), I've been pigging out. My mum-in-law used to make the most gorgeous puliogre, or pulihora as these Telugus call it, bless her for all eternity for her kindness to a disappointing son-in-law. When I eat it, I can't help thinking of her and her kindness.

I disagree.

It's a complex sociological development, but BJP ascendancy did not happen overnight, and it did not happen by accident. There were very concrete material conditions that created today's situation, and I disagree with both the Hindu and the Muslim extremist factions who insist that Hindutva was an uncovering of the real soul of India.

You are a mean bastard.

She was more a mother to me than my own mother.

Haha....puliyotharaiyin soru...veku poruthumai sambaru

....poori kizhangu paaru! hahahaha...ithuvae yenukku joru!

Actually @Joe Shearer when we say "vettu" (in ishtum pola vettu in song) it kind of refers to "slaughter" meaning....somewhat taboo to say by veggie saivites (though we say in heat of moment as kind of slang ) whom ofc ghatotkach is nowhere part of to begin with (theres joke in movie about this among his folk with shakuni in some banter), but I suspect traces from the old history of meat-eating we also engaged in (pre-shankaracharya times)...and of course sustained in broader Tamil population around us.

Coming to puliyotharai specifically (puliyogare in kannada as you mention).... it is one of my favourite parts of a south indian lunch or dinner....especially with dabble of nallennai. I love sour (pulippu) taste in general so much for my palate.

BTW we got a member now called @MayaBazar ...wonder if he is fan of the movie
