Kardesh means brother. Chauhans are Agnikul Suryavanshi Rajputs and Prithviraj Chauhan was one of the noblest of men.
After several months on Chowk, I have become more appreciative of my Hindu ancestry. I am also beginning to understand the real meaning of democracy in India. It is obvious that Indians have much more freedom than Pakis and place a greater emphasis on freedom of expression. Pakis, unfortunately, take curbs on free speech as a normal function of authority.
Random Thoughts: I won`t tell you much. People have a way of turning every bit of information against you.

I came to Chowk as an ardent Paki nationalist. I am now a believer in India and its freedoms. The difference is so apparent when you interact on Chowk. Sorry! but that is the truth as I see it.
