[... Hinduism as practiced today is itself flawed majorly, it punishes its own people...]

Very true... hinduism does punish its own people, but apparently not enough to prevent them from leaving the faith, on pain of death, as happens in case of the "peaceful" religion...

Bad as hinudism are - it still devours far less of its own than the peaceful islam... millions of bengalis, thousands of balochis, hundreds are being bombed with all sorts of ammunitions - including white phosperous...[why white phosperous? why not just shoot them?]

muslims are brutalizing each other with gay abandon as in shia-sunni conflict in iraq, iraq-iran, iraq-kurd, kurd-turkey, black-arab in sudan.... the list is endless... the victims are in millions... all muslims killed by other muslims - on some pretext or other - just for being muslim...

Why is that?

Zeemaxx, you are chirping about the Yuan peg to the dollar...Yuan is not a free floating currency. Exchange controls have it pegged to the dollar as the largest percentage of the supposed basket you are touting. At any ostensible level it is a peg...stop acting like an idiot. I thought you knew this stuff.

Secondly, when Dalrymple starts talking about the KSE as a benchmark for financial health of Pakistan..I cannot help but smile at the pride that Pakistanis must feel. An illiquid, opaque, insignificant and fundamentally hollow foundation holding up a shiny veneer for all to admire as they wave from the Islamabad causeway.

Ever wonder why a dirty shithole of a country like India produces world class enterprises. It is because it has strong foundations. Lowest corporate debt-equity ratio of any country in the world. High investment in R&D compared only to Japan and Israelis. Cash rich balance sheets. It was important to have teeth..rather than just porcelain veneers which sure look good, but are flawed fundamentally.

Zee,

New Dehli = Islamabad = Gandhinagar

Dehli = Rawalpindi = Ahmedabad

Yeah I've seen this place. This is the ONLY clean part of New Delhi because it is ceremonial and they bring all visiting foreign guests here. Don't quote picture postcards :)

OK, Zee,

Lets compare Isloo with New Dehli. Check this out.

Zee, Why u visit slums in Calcutta and Dehli?

Slums are there in all cities. Come to London and walk for 5 mts from glitzy Liverpool street towards Whitechapel.

Whitechapel looks more like a slum with Bengali shops, deras and filth. The whole area smells bad. By the standards of London it's a slum.

At first glance you would think this is Germany. Hell no. This is the M-2/M-1 interchange near Islamabad:

Faizabad Interchange
This interchange was completed in January 1998 at a cost of Rs. 310 million. Faizabad interchange is a full clover leaf at the intersection of Islamabad-Lahore highway and Rawalpindi-Murree road. The daily traffic volume at this intersection is about 48,000 vehicles. The Faizabad interchange is working as a gateway to the capital of the country by providing free flow to vehicular traffic.

How about Delhi? Calcutta? Is that visiting bharat?

Look at the idiots talking about % of GDP who believe Yuan is still pegged to the Dollar (ROTFL icon).

hey manto..lookie here...another graduate of your educational system is set for life...free meals, free healthcare etc etc..

Padilla guilty of aiding Al-Qaida

MIAMI: US national Jose Padilla was on Thursday found guilty of aiding Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaida terror network and conspiring to commit murder outside the US by attacking US interests.

Zee, Visitng Lahore is not visitng Pakistan and visitng Dharavi is not viting India. Ch*tya.

manto should watch "kyunki ahmedis bhi kabhi muslim the"..will remind him of the good old days, more than 30 years ago, when he was eligible to run for president.

Aman,

Manto is an India & Gandhi obsessed Indophobist. Pardon him. Peace be Upon Him!

Manto, I have never seen saas bhi kabhi bahu thi, why do you!!!!

Middle class Pakistanis spend as much on education as any Indian... if anything Pakistanis spend more because many middle class Pakistanis are increasingly taking O Level and IB examinations... something which was the exclusive preserve of the rich in the past.


To compare the education systems of the two countries is a joke only a deluded paki can play on himself. YOu tried really really hard to close the phd gap with a get-a-phd-quick scheme. Didn't work out too well. You only need to look at the number of Indians and the number of Pakis in masters and Phd courses in the US to see whose students are in demand. That's even before the Indian grads go on to be a lot more successful.

You're way ahead in jihadi education while the world looks to the IITs as a model for what a third world education can be.

India: IITs
Pakistan: IITs(Institutes of Islamic Terrorism)

No amount of lipstick will make that pig look like cameron diaz..

p.s. Do you know what % of GDP India and Pakiland spend on education? Now compare that % with what they spend on the military.
