Rehotrical, emotion laden article. I am surprised it was even published.

If indeed it is a nation of eunuchs then it seems to have a surprisingly high population growth rate.

Ref bjk #3

[If indeed it is a nation of eunuchs then it seems to have a surprisingly high population growth rate.]

Actually, we are forced to import female dogs from Italy. Blame the population growth on that.

I am not surprised that stuke, bjk and hush are supporting terrorists.

The first thing to do is to kill their family members.

They will be singing a different tune then.

Then we can go after Islamist thugs.

My suggestion is to catch 100 Muslims males under the age of 35 for each person killed in the bomb explosions and kill them.

That would also help curb the Muslim population growth.

...proves your hijRa-pun....why don`t you do it rather than write on chowk...which incidentally is doing it`s best to encourage hate-pakistan movement by publishing such crap as A Nation of Eunuchs...

I agree that this article perhaps belongs to the blog-world! But freedom of expression is all-important.

Articles do not cause prejudices to develop – prejudices are already there, sometimes the articles and the original events bring them out in the open.

Harry is not well-known for moderating his stances. It is however true that it is a lot easier to be sanguine and rational about world events when individuals have no direct stake – less so when one’s loved-ones are threatened.

The title is quite offensive. If Bombay was a nation of Eunuchs, it would have held the house together. Castratis in 17th 18 century Catholic Church, and Eunuchs in the Ottoman courts provided much needed calm to the governing apparatus, including security to their females sex slaves. If you must feel a need to be offensive to a group of people, call it a nation of Wahabis or Hindus, and leave Eunuchs out of your bigoted and racist dogma.

Tushar Barot {``A Nation of Eunuchs``}

Tushar Sahib,
I have not yet read your fine article, but already I have a gripe. How dare you call Pakis ``A Nation of Eunuchs?`` I mean HijRas maybe, but not Eunuchs. As you probably don`t know or realize, Eunuchs were usually quite intelligent and played all kinds of political games in the machinations of government and projections of power. Meanwhile HijRas just clap their hands, sing, and dance, burying their head in the sand, with their recti aimed at the sky. So, next time, please call Pakistan ``A Nation of HijRas.`` Thank you - now I will try to read your wonderful and interesting article.

To fellow Hindus,

U might have realized by now, all this talk and appeals for peace on and off Chowk is not going to help us.

It will not prevent any of our enemies to stop attacking us.
It will not make the Commie and Minority appeasing ba$tards in Delhi to protect us.

Our existence and security are not garunteed unless we make a cohesive and united front against the detractors. The time for action has come.

Let`s
1) Remove the scourge of Casteism from our society
2) Establish Gender equality
3) Extend political support only to political parties supportive of Hindus
4) Direct all monetary and non-monetary donations to Hindu organizations

Thanks,

So, killing a bunch of muslims will help eradicate terrorists? Just like it helped after Gujarat, and after the 1984 massacre of Sikhs?

I do agree that the political class/system is totally corrupt and moribund and R&AW is in a disarray after the recent discovery of moles. So yes, there should be a demand from the people to the government that if there was information about the impending attacks, why was nothing done to prevent those.
