Anil writes "You were deported from the U.S., that is what I recall reading here.."

You read wrong, that was okhla speaking through his a$$ without having any clue about anything. You wish they'd deport me so you could justify to yourself how someone could leave your land of milk and honey and fart in its direction but that is not the case, I left voluntarily and out of free volition, making diary entries on chowk, roaming around freely across the US every single day before I left, even posted some pics from my road trip that ended a couple of weeks before I left........

Nkg moshai,

(Indian GDP started downfalling from islamic invastion onwards, which ended in 1992. )

What ended in 1992? Islamic invasion? Or the falling Indian GDP?

???

Regards

Masadi sahib,

(but on seeing the Taj Mahal I will certainly be able to view the grandeur of the Muslim period)

If GWB or Mushy were to divert billions of dollars to build the tomb of their dead spouse, you wud call that waste of public money. But I presume you wud have a diff standard for Shah Jehan.

Incidentally if the Mughals instead of wasting public money on tombs and all had invested in technological development India wudn't have fallen to the Brits. And Mr. Shah Jehan began the abandonment of the Hindoo-Muslim alliance which Akbar had began and this was to later destroy the Mughal Empire and result in British Raj in India.

Pls. think about it. Before going into raptures over the Mughals, esp the later ones.

Regards

nkg: and the fool thinks that I was talking about large scale migration of millions from Iraq to India- not to mention that your simplistic explanations are quite pathetic, the one that blames the Muslims for the falling GDP of India until 1992 is especially halarious.

arjun writes "brit colonialism = bad
arab colonialism = benevolent"

We have been through this many times before here and you don't have feet to stand upon so you construct your own straw man. The 'muslim' conquest of India is not called colonialism by historians (other than the guru historian wannabes) because it was qualitatively different to that practiced by the British. I have never said that "conquest" was good, merely showed you that your claims of barbarism are misplaced and contrived and constructed and I give facts to support that assertion. Defining the conquest in terms of the religion of the conquerors is also disingenuous and based on your bigotry alone- I have not done that for the British bastards even though they flooded India with Christian missionaries to pacify the masses.

Nkg: go fool someone else. The practice of Sati predates even the advent of the prophet in the 7th century- Read some real historians and not some guru shitheads...

CreateAlpha: you know nothing about Islam so might as well shut up regarding its "logic"- the Quran is the most rational, internally consistent rendition the world has seen, you just don't have the brains or the morality to either understand it or do it justice, so shut the F up fool.

Peon: all you can do is lie and copy the insults of your opponents, even in that you're unoriginal and a peon. Go F yourself.

Re: # 91
Masadi:
Regarding english....ignore it...
Read these URLs. Sati was not practised before barbarians arrived from middle East and Afg...It was never practised in Tamilnadu, Southern Karnataka, Kerala and Assam. Incidentally these areas were never ruled by moslems!!!!
Guru Nanakdev was founder of Sikhism (1st half of 15th century). He was from Punjab...
You repeat the same sentences without any evidence...

Indian GDP started downfalling from islamic invastion onwards, which ended in 1992.

Mathematics and medical science were greatest casualty of islamic invastion. Search for Boudhayana and Indian mathematics in Google...

You should explain your PUSH and PULL.

Reasons for large scale migration
1) Economy - Mexicans migrating to USA
2) Nature - Shifting of Indus valley civilisation towards East
3) Socio-political - Jews migrated to India due to Roman and Arab barbarism, Parsis migrated to India (after the fall of Sasanid empire) to avoid arab/muslim barbarism...

Jang yaar (101), Jews and Paks are different immigrant incidents. Jews left Europe to escape persecution, whereas Paks came here mainly as economic immigrants. They brought with them their own culture which they have been successful in preserving through their customs, food, and stuff. For the time being, their host country is contributing to their culture by letting it prosper, but it won’t be long before their customs become part of the mainstream mores. Do you have DJ Reekha type of contribution in mind? That will surely happen in not too long, just as Bhangra has become pretty conventional in England. Flocks of New Yorkers attend Pak day parade and Mela in Little Pakistan every year. There is song and dance, and there is food. What else can anyone possibly want? Chicks are not that bad either.

Your idea is a pretty good one, but I think I can make a healthier contribution by tutoring math, and not by opening a music school. Akram Khan (you mean of Ajrara Gharana?) is a friend.

I have no information on Bengalis. I haven’t heard or read anything about any being deported.

Massaddi Mian:

"... The Man (Purusha) has ..."

Are you aware those writers of Riga Veda were humans? Possibly they may be unlike you, as they wrote a lot after drinking "Soma", while you without even drinking write worse nonsense. And that too almost 3,500 years later.

Massaddi Mian:

"... which you sobs wont give me a visa ..."

You were deported from the U.S., that is what I recall reading here. Why would any country like to give you a visa, even Saudi may not let you visit Mecca. Most definitely Iran would not.

Have you noticed that your rate of use "Go F____, yourself" has increased?

great article kulharee..now i will pontificate.

1. yar in all wars, the burden is borne by the proles..so CIA pakis are bearing a high burden of backlash for sanctuary provided by paki elites to jihadis. did the bangalis also get deported along with paks?

2. inshalla a dawoody allanji will emerge from CIA. the jewish immigrants brought with them great traditions of music and theatre from europe which were formative incluences. what kinda influences are the CIA parents bringing?

3. for your empty-nester plans, how about starting a pak-music and dance school? teachign tabla, music, dhol, bhangra and such? we can get akram khan to come as a visitng faculty. the masjid can rent space cheap maybe. set this up before masadi sets up his school of marxism and islami studies with life-time chair for himself (and a part-time lecturer job for neembu). such schools are great community builders.

Hindus never claim superiority or rationality as the basis of their belief. As Islam is logically curcular, then there is no bsais for some chutiya like assadhi to claim superiority or rationality etc etc..

ok...so the facts, according to you, are as follows

the brits were SOBs because they came as invaders
your ancestors, who came as invaders too, were actually benevolent.

brit colonialism = bad
arab colonialism = benevolent..

umm...ok...I see the standard you're following here...both standards, in fact..
