bjkumar and my other unreverted cousins,

....... i don't want to talk about kashmir because right now we have more immediate (i didn't say bigger) problems ..... but as soon as they are resolved we are coming after it - i almost said inshallah, but i don't think al-lah or amrika can help us, it will have to be done by the army all by itself ....... right now, as we all know, it is occupied with running cement and cereal mills, but as soon as it is freed up we will ask it to do the job it is paid to do - recover our legitimate share of grandpa gopinath's property that has been illegly occupied by greedy relatives ....... and if you guys are not carefulm we might press our claim on hyderabad and the red fort too ......

bjkumar#273:

I might agree with your pov but India made a commitment and honourable men and countries honour their commitment. Both India and Nehru have not proved to be honourable in that regard.

I do not agree that India was weak at that time. Please do some reading of the first hand players at that time, such as Mehar Chand Mahajan, the Dewan of Kashmir or of VP Menon. There was no outside pressure for article 370. It was your "karnadhaar" PM who wanted to have both "punn and phulliyaan" as we say in my native punjabi. He coveted kashmir but also wanted to be known as a democrat in the international arena.

DM-jee,

From my POV, the only wrong done to Kashmir was to leave it alone and not integrating it within the body of India like the rest of India.

It was kept segregated.

Segregation is the root of all evils. It insulates and strengthens racism.

Article 370 should have an expiration date. When it was negotiated, India was a weaker country. That is no more the case. Article 370 is an outdated relic of the past - a noose around Kashmir's neck.

Take it away!

HP miaN,

Stop talking about the Kashmiri bibi - woh to kab ki parayee ho chukee.

You have other headaches. You are already on record that a lot of love-making is going on with the Sindhi bibi now.

And you got a Mullah in the house who yearns for ALL your bibis! And (believe it or not) some of your "women" actually go for that bearded brute!

They go big time! They can not seem to wait for a big bang!

Try to keep your remaining household intact, if you can!

Drooling is futile!

There is also every possibility that pakis do not have a missile deliverable nuclear weapon. Any one can make a bomb to explode in a hole, but to make a weapon that is small enough and can withstand the vibration and g forces of a missile is far more difficult. It needs several tests without the triggers and pakistan which tests the missiles over populated areas has not done so.

The presence of the US forces in pakistan can ensure that when the paki facilities are bombed in a surprise attack they will not know from where it came. further the indian missile defence with the israelis are in an advanced stage.

Ten to 15 years is my time frame, simply unavoidable, seeing teh way pakistan is going. There is absolutely no interest for the pak population in economic progress, it is only islam they are interested in. The latest is from LUMS, the equivalent of the IIMs of india, where they had a taliban stall and the students were in praise of taliban. The jihadic mindset has permeated the core of paki psyche.

It will be an indo US operation, with some risks, which will have to be taken, when compared to a jihadi govt with an islamic bomb.

Defining iraquisation.

Iraquisation is the process of liberation of people held together by a military. An external military power goes in, demolishes the military and with draws. The ethnic groups fight to a finish for dominance. Then the external agents go again and finish of the one taht emerged as dominant.

The americans did not do a good job because of ther belief in democrazy and all that crap. Iraquisation, in its true form can happen in pakistan, with its fragmentation to sindh, punjab and nwfp. Punjab will inherit the name pakistan.

laddu 258,

There is absolutely no move to change the education system, in fact more madrassas are coming up, and more jihadic strains are mutating.

There is no end in sight, the sequence is jihadic take over, followed by iraquisation. India will have to do it, much to the anger of paki lovers like dost mitter

Power breakdown hits millions in Karachi: Unpaid bills make Pepco cut supply.

The outage was not due to any power generation short fall, but disconnection of entire karachi due to some payment dispute between comnpanies.



By Shamim-ur-Rahman and Ahmad Fraz Khan


KARACHI/LAHORE, March 6: Karachi suffered a major power breakdown on Thursday after the National Transmission and Dispatch Company disconnected supplies to the privatised Karachi Electric Supply Corporation over outstanding dues.

The following is from dawn, a letter by Alvi of rawalpindi. The poor chappie should be on the chowk, along with tahmed and YLH telling that ialm is a religion of peace. But unlike the YLH, this man recognises that the verses hhe quotes are never mentioned by the mullah.

Take it from me alavi, the mullahs have spent a life time learning koran, and they know better, they know which is teh essence of islam and you are picking and choosing, often misquoting. That is why you look stupid and no muslim listens to you.

Alvi, be a true muslim, listen to the mullah, and you tahmed, teh advice is for you as well.

Suicide attacks and ulema’s role


ONE wonders why ulema in Pakistan are particularly silent over suicide blasts across the country. No one speaks against it. No one dare say that suicide bombing is ‘haraam’ in Islam, it is against the text of Quran and teachings of the Holy Prophet.

The ulema have in their access the most effective medium of communication – the mosque. They can tell the people that:

(1) Surah Al Maeda, Ayah No. 32, says: “He who kills a human being (whether Muslim or non-Muslim), has killed the whole humanity. He who saves one life, it is but equal to saving the whole humanity.”

(2) In Surah Al Nisaa, Ayah 29, it is clearly said that suicide is ‘haraam’: “Don’t kill yourself, there is no doubt that Allah is Merciful to you.” Committing suicide is equal to interfering in the functions of Allah. It is equal to rejecting the blessings of Allah the man is bestowed with.
