Pakis and their tactics. Now its the ``environment`` they are worried about and open a new battle ......by telling that human activities are on Indian side only,Paki side has only animal activites.
Seriously , Paki are desperate for Sianchen. Shumthing is not right, PRC and India are also taking surevey of glaciers in Tibbet.
Pakis are sensing the Indians r gonna dry up their water holes if they keep indulging in terrrorism. Kashmir problem might l be solved through water problem / sharing. First Pakistan have to check on exporting terrorism. By the way... why people of pakistan demand from musheraff for another war????????????? Now ..yr...brave general never like to become POW.
Haaaaaaaa ......
Look at pakistani scientists Melting glacier with lazar…
Haaaaaaaaa
But do`t worry we wil take care for your water..and Siachen Glacier..now it is in safe hands..

Most Indians on Chowk would consider Siachen to be a simple case of territorial occupation, which needs to be ``legitimised`` at the earliest. The larger issues of irreversible ecological damage are of no concern to them. The Jihadis want chemical biological warfare in Siachen. They too give two hoots to the consequential environmental degradation. Thus it appears to be a lose-lose situation for the poor glaciers.

Re: # 30

Ajeet, the sub-continent is cursed with horrible Hindus and miserable Muslims. The only thing they agree upon, once a while is show their bias against Sikhs. Once they are through that temporary break, they start all over again ridiculing each other as entertainment.

The reason is very simple – Sikhism tried to integrate best of both religions and pointed out shallowness of many of their beliefs and therefore earned their permanent enmity. The land seems to be cursed with hatred. Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak, Guru Gobind Singh and Mahatma Gandhi have come and gone. These folks will never improve. They are either stuck with sand land’s 7th century culture or monkey / elephant / snake gods and dips in filthy rivers.

..I have absolutely no qualms about annihilating an entire army who is occupying an internatinally disputed territory.

Its not as if you guys didn`t try it. Right from 1984 till the ceasefire, Pakistan never gave up attempts to beat India back out of Siachen. It is said that there used to be one at least skirmish every alternate day. It is just that you didn`t have the balls to win it back.

It looks like the ideological brothers of Urstruly have struck again - this time on the Samjhauta express going to Lahore. Most of the victims of the train attack were Pakistanis and Indian muslims, so these jihadis ended up killing their own fellow muslims. These jihadi fools have absolutely gone beserk. One day they are setting off a suicide bomb in a Islamabad hotel, next day in a Quetta courthouse, then exploding bombs on Samjhauta Express. This has just gone beyond all limits now.

It is time for all non-jihadi muslims to join forces with hindus, americans and everyone else from the civilized world to root out the jihadi menace once and for all. Close down the madrassahs, shut down all the X-e-Y type organizations with a relgious agenda, completely cutoff all sources of funding to these characters and organize massive ad campaign to wean off young people from this ideology like the anti-smoking or anti-drugs campaigns. Otherwise these people will make life hell for all Pakistanis and Indians.

Re: # 38

Ranjit,

People adopt to survive. Those poor Indian Sikhs know that Hindus like you are not above burning down innocent people on mass scale in front of their families, while claiming to be the most peaceful people in the world. It’s just survival instinct when you live in a tribal uncivilized culture.

A word of caution - Don’t try these stupid jokes in front of Sikhs outside India. You might get slapped.

Look Mr. hamidm2, thought we are funny looking but we are proud of our custom and religion, and thanks God we are well respected every where because of our credibility and consistency, not Known as Cheater.
Even in gulf we Sikh are more respected than Pakistan as not exporting white powder.

Yaar what rubbish are you talking? The anti-Sikh riots were indeed a shameful chapter in India`s history, but it does not mean every Hindu is out to kill a Sikh. Most Hindus admire Sikhs for the way they`ve bounced back from such a tragic calamity.

Not that it makes any difference to those who suffered from the violence, but the perpetrators were Congress leaders out to curry favor with the new heir of the Gandhi clan, Rajiv Gandhi. Opportunists and sycophants are neither Hindu nor Muslim: they are the followers of the religion of greed.

Re: # 46, 47

Harish,

I have always admired curiosity and brilliance of Indians and for that credit goes to Hindu culture since Hindus, being the super majority, form the back bone of Indian character.

However, with this credit comes the debit part. Indian sycophancy and opportunitism also derive its roots from Hindu culture. Rajiv and Indira exploited it to hilt just like British and Muslim invaders. How many Hindus took out mass protests against Rajiv after the 1984 massacres? How many Hindus died to protect those innocent Sikhs? How many influential Hindus resigned from their top jobs in protest against lack of any inquiries? How many Hindus have protested against naming all kinds of boulevards and airports after Rajiv and Indira? How many monuments have been built by Hindus in Delhi or other north Indian cities in memory of massacre victims so that people are educated and hopefully these things will not happen against any minority?

Admiration for Sikhs – Is there any other army in the world where on their website they have tab for jokes about so called “influential and admired minority” that has done so much for the country? I never knew that except a few months back another interactor had posted a link of Indian army website with Sardar jokes as a proof of “broadmindedness” of the Sikh Chief of Staff.

It’s pathetic and shows how much more the culture has to evolve.
