Sanatani,

You should be happy right...the UCs of TN have managed to masquerade as OBCs and still maintain the status quo.

Re: # 324

Well Masan bhai,

in that case I apologise.

But if not you then it is lot of people other than you.

Upper Caste: Bhen Maa Beti in salon ko reservation choorhe chamar bhangi

SC: Bhen Maa Beti in salon ne oppresiion ki yeh hai asli choorhe chamar bhangi

OBC: Actually we have been unfairly oppressed by UC's unki Bhen Maa Beti and we rightly oppress SC's choorhe chamar bhangi

Actually OBC's are best

as in Backward Rajput, Backward Baniya, Backward Maratha, Backward Sindhi (only found in Sindh if the Sindhi Muslims were told Amils and Bhaibands are backward in Tamil Nadu they would all collectively die of shock or lose their mental balance AND thus achieve Jinnahpur) e.g. Rakesh Hinduja becomes Asst Jail warden under OBC quota or Raheja or Hiranandani.

That was the very good thing about the RSS where all Hindus were equal where mutual respect for each other was taught to all castes.

But somehow their anti intellectualism or what SitaRam ji used to term as the opposite of Baudhik Kshatriyata.

I think Sun Tzu and Arthshastra should be serious reading for them.

Mosquitoes breed wherever there is greenry and water, so I dont see why they could not have bred in AKP.

The presence (or the lack thereof) of mosquitoes is more dependent on the maintenance and less on greenery and water. Majumdar bhai, when you're in Hyderabad the next time, I'll take you to some eateries on the Necklace Road by the Hussain Sagar lake, one of the filthiest water bodies I've ever seen. You will be surprised.

Re:[[I respect you simply for your love for the country that you voluntarily left that still haunts your imagination. At least that is something we have in common.]]

Re:#330 pakistan3
No Sir that doesn't haunt me at all, because I didn't commit any crime. Rather that is the pride that I take because God has given me a chance to explore this world and to spread Pakistan's image infront of others in a positive way.

Ask those who feel NO Shame by living in Pakistan and looting poor Pakistanis money and sucking their blood with no guilt...........

Yes, those corrupt Politicians and army generals are real leaches living in Pakistan and scucking the last drop of poors.....

I am proud to live abroad that has made me a strong person mentally to combat all this nonsense that's going on in current Pakistan.....I can see clearly what you're unable to see.

But, let me borrow you my eyes and heart and then you'll be able to see what your eyes with bias are unable to see and you'll be able to feel what your stoned heart with darkness is unable to feel.
bye and Khuda Hafiz

'Cos she was denied penicillin by MKG, not by the Brits.

Majumdar bhai, please stop mixing up issues. MKG's penchant for nature cure is a whole different story, perhaps for another occasion.

I have twice contracted malaria myself although I have never lived in slums (or Aga Khan's palace for that matter).

If your home was anywhere comparable to the AKP as per Yasser's (and your own) claim, perhaps you wouldn't have contracted it.

18,500 Pakistanis deprived of billions


NEW DELHI, May 25: About 18,560 Pakistanis have been deprived of billions of rupees accumulated on returns of shares in Indian firms they had bought before 1965.

India seized the shares bought by Pakistanis in 558 Indian companies after the 1965 war. These shares are lying with the Office of Custodians of Enemy Properties under the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs following a notification issued by the government in 1968.

The Indian government is undecided about the fate of these shares.

Media reports, citing the record of the department, said that the capitalised amount of five shareholders in Indian companies was about Rs109.6 billion. These companies are the high-profile Indian entities such as Wipro, Cipla, five companies of the Tata group, ACC and three companies of the DCM group.

Similarly, two Pakistani stakeholders have 10 million shares of Wipro, the world’s largest independent R&D services provider, valued at about Rs50.4 billion. Thirty-four Pakistanis have shares in pharmaceutical major Cipla worth Rs48.2 billion.

In four companies of Tata Motors, Tata Power, Tata Steel, Tata Chemicals and Tata Coffee, Pakistanis have shares worth Rs48 million.

Pakistanis invested in Indian companies including Hindustan Unilever, ITC DLF, Bajaj Electricals, CSCE, Reliance energies, EIH, Aditya Birla, Nuvo, India Cement, Dalmia Cement and Ballarpur Industries before 1965.

According to an assessment of the custodian office, the value of the shares owned by Pakistanis in the listed 45 Indian companies is Rs18 billion.

Indian newspaper the Economic Times contested the figures of the custodian department and said that Pakistanis had far more shares in the companies than revealed by the department.

The custodians have recorded 1.6 million Pakistani shares in Wipro. But, the company sources say there are 10 million Pakistani shares.

Similarly, there are 23 million shares of Pakistanis in Cipla, but the department has recorded only 1.1 million shares, the paper said.—APP

And mind you ... I only came in after Harish mian claimed that he had never heard of Aga Khan's palace being the place of Gandhi's incarceration which it certainly was.

Yasser mian, now your dishonesty is really shining through. First of all, I did not claim that Gandhi was never imprisoned at the Aga Khan palace. After all the debates we've had through the years where you made it a point to highlight this particular episode, it would be foolish of me to deny it outright. It is your own inadequate comprehension skills that you thought so. I was merely contesting your assumption that Gandhi by virtue of having been incarcerated there was treated like the Aga Khan himself would be. The fact that his wife died of and he himself was afflicted with malaria (a disease more likely to inflict those living in filthy slums) there belies your claim that he was accorded 5-star treatment there.

The bottom line is that you have been called on your claim that Gandhi was only imprisoned twice. The biggest and perhaps the unkindest slap would be the total refutation with proof of your claim that Gandhi was treated like a king at the AKP.

DM sahib,

(Why did he not go on a hunger strike at Rawalpindi) & ( but he certainly knew when his weapon of "maun-vrat" would work)

Had he tried the stunt in Pindi, the good Pindians would have put him on a permanent maun vrat.

(led one of them to the foolish act of assasinating him.)

Right. The assassination was worse than a crime, it was a blunder.

Regards
