Re: # 121
Rainbow...
Yeh....and,so, you see such anti musla sentiments accross the world!!!!

NKG,

I agree with your points, you missed out Sunita Williams, who holds record for most time spent on ISS (195days) & 2nd best record for time outside ISS (29 hours 17 minutes)during EVA, so she break the record for longest single spaceflight by a woman.

(now that's the kind of lady I like !!!)

Now, back to your question,

answer is simple,

India has,

better growth (development)
better access to education
better (foriegn investment)


and this has been encouraged from the start where in Pakistan, well, it has started recently & still needs a tune-up,mostly it's the girls who top in exams but then they just disappear !!! could be social could be family, I don't know, I am sure a girl in india also has to fight her way thru the system to get to the top.

we need to set it all straight, encourage females involvement in various sectors,bring down the gender wall and only then we will be able to see them rising up the channel as the indian women have.

Mr. Qureshi, I'll await your response at:

If you choose not to reply, you'll stand in queue behind Dr. Khalid Sohail who ran away after begging for an open discussion!

Your turn now.

RAINBOW-09 is a certified confused clown who 'is losing his religion' by repeatdely listening to REM's song with the same title.

tahir the G man how are you saab?

#124: rainbow sahib is against all religions, not just islam. but you are welcome to exempt hinduism if you like. after all, we all know that hindus are so pious.

Rainbow: you write "DO YOU NEED RELIGION ??? Lets spread love and peace,in 2009" isnt "love and peace" religion as well? if you were to be fully rational, why would "love and peace" be so important? love and peace are clearly necessary for the survival of humans. but what are humans but merely one of thousands of species that form 1% of all species that ever lived, occupying this thin outer later we call the biosphere that covers this tiny speck of dust we call the earth that forms part of an insignificant part of the known universe?

so - like it or not, giving importance to "peace and love" makes it a religion too. since pure logic would say nothing associated with humans is worth mentioning.

Re: # 129
nkg, I usually avoid talking to extreme bigots like you but I'll make an exception this time.

Instead of looking at accomplished middle-aged Indian women, you should compare the at birth numbers as pointed out by pundit(#85) earlier. What India is doing now is killing future Indra Noyis of India.

Here are stats from the CIA world factbook

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2 018.html

India at birth: 1.12 male(s)/female
under 15 years: 1.1 male(s)/female
15-64 years: 1.06 male(s)/female
65 years and over: 0.9 male(s)/female
total population: 1.06 male(s)/female (2009 est.)

Pakistan at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female
under 15 years: 1.06 male(s)/female
15-64 years: 1.05 male(s)/female
65 years and over: 0.88 male(s)/female
total population: 1.04 male(s)/female (2009 est.)

As pundit (#85) also said, "numbers from Pakistan are comparable to the most countries including many western countries but the Indian numbers are worst in the world".

Chowk staff,

Please be careful and considerate regarding this red flagging business. For some reason, only indian interactors are being red flagged, although it appears to me that no chowk violations have been committed. You must understand that your own slogan of "unflinching idealism" is being marginalized.

Re: # 125 Posted by bhs75 on July 4, 2009 11:30:50 pm

bhs75 sahib/sahiba?

What many call religion, actually contains two components: one is the spiritual content, which is written in holy books, and the other component is the organization of people surrounding these holy books.

The arguments has always been between many organizations of these spiritual meanings that is being promoted, and accentuated at any given time in history.

The bigger these organizational structures are the more they have for promoting their own understood values.

Now, would it be possible for the muslim world which continues to claim that they belong to "a religion of peace" get Sudanese President Bashir arrested and have him tried for genocide in Darfur?

Re: # 140
tahmed:
Girls are considered a burden on parents' while boys are regarded as parents' social security cards in India.

So, there has always been a bias against women in Indian society....as can be seen by the customs of suttee, abandoning of widows to fend for themselves and the occurence of female infanticide shortly after birth. In some cases the little girls born live are poisoned or strangulated while in other cases they are left to starve to death.

But I think one of the main reasons for the recent accelerated rate of female feticide is the abuse of ultrasound technology to determine the gender of the unborn.

The purveyors of the ultrasound business in every city, town and village of India entice parents by telling them to "spend 500 rupees now and save 50,000 rupees later.” The cost of the ultrasound scan is Rs. 500 and the required dowry for marrying daughters off exceeds Rs. 50,000.00.

You are an ignorant close minded fool. Let me tell remind you of something. An Indian woman kicked your vaunted "martial race" army's ass so hard that half your country was liberated from people of your ilk.

It is people like you and your ilk who treat women like cattle. Who do you think you are fooling with warped "scholarship"? By running your mouth off, you have demonstrated not just to us, but your own countrymen and compadres that they have had enough of your brain farts.

Let me leave you with this thought. Indian women kick ass. Watch out for them. They have more grace and knowledge in their little finger than you will ever learn in 5 life times.

Now shoo...

#142 Riaz Sahib: In other words, there is a hundred fold profit!! Same like dowry burnings where sri ram gets the dowry as return on investment.
