BTW... Harimau

I suppose the fact that Nusli Wadia is Parsi doesn`t factor in.

[Montolives,
Didn`t you, in your previous handle as YLH, abuse hamidm`s wife in the crassest terms? Why are you complaining now? Have you grown up or something?]

Hey Maasanamuthu,

Didn`t you, in your life in Tamil Nadu as Inji-kari-kuzhambu, steal anything that wasn`t nailed down by producing a false certificate as an OBC?

Why are you pretending to be a nice-nice guy now?

Are you getting the feeling that whitey isn`t falling for your OBC certificate?

So how is the great nation of Pakistan this rainy morning? Still in existence despite MY continued existence in this world and on chowk? My congratulations and sympathies.

Meanwhile, kindly lend your ears to this ex-ISI chief.

Senator Lt General (r) Javed Ashraf Qazi said on Friday that banned outfit Jaish Muhammad was involved in the attempts on General Pervez Musharraf’s life.

“We must not be afraid of admitting that Jaish was involved in the deaths of thousands of innocent Kashmiris, bombing the Indian Parliament, Daniel Pearl’s murder and attempts on President Musharraf’s life,” said Senator Qazi, who is also former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) director general.

Where ARE all those chowkies who claimed Indians were lying and it was the Indian government which engineered the Indian Parliament attack on itself ? You need to take this ex-ISI guy to task for maligning you.

Uncle Dost mittar reads Urdu perfectly and I am sure his travelogue will be nothing but the truth...

Nothing in this article was shocking or new for me. I appreciate India for what it is... and I wish it well... but for Pakistani-bashers ... I am sure uncle`s recollection of Pakistan will be very disturbing... I pity you Jayaprakash.

awaiting the night mare

This article by beena is nothing, I dread the dost mitter travelogue. What a great country pakistan is, I have just come from there. I did not get a copy of the pak schooll book on history, I could not read the urdu news papers, I did not notice the heavily armed guards at every street corner, I did not see the posters of jihad, I did not see the burkha clad few women in the streets, I did not notice that there are no women on scooters, i did not see that there are no women drivers, I did not hear the aqueels of animal being slaughtered.......pakistan is so much like india.

from pakistan with love,

dost mitter the pathetic.

Christians convert back to Hinduism
More than 200 Christians in the eastern Indian state of Orissa have reconverted to Hinduism on Thursday in the presence of the leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

They were reconverted at a Hindu temple in Jharsuguda in western Orissa where the tribal Christians were first purified by rituals and then re-admitted into Hinduism.

Representatives from the hardline Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council) were also present.

The ceremony was part of the VHP`s plan to reconvert 400,000 tribal Christians back to Hinduism.


Local VHP activist Ashok Sakunia told the BBC that thousands of Hindus were being lured into Christianity by monetary benefits, so they felt compelled to respond.

The VHP has been joined by fellow Hindu pressure groups Banabasi Kalyan Ashram and Bajarang Dal in an attempt to bring back Christian converts to Hinduism.

And BJP leader Dilip Singh Judeo, a former minister in the Atal Behari Vajpayee government, said that Christian missionaries who came to India to convert Hindus under the pretence of serving the community would not be tolerated.

This accusation has been denied by Christian groups.

Jharsuguda district collector Jyoti Prakash Das said no official permission had been given for the mass conversion, and that he had not been informed of the plans under the provisions of Orissa Freedom of Religion Act, 1967.

Religious conversions to Christianity from Hinduism are a long-running sore in Orissa.

Only last month eight persons including six women in the state`s coastal region were beaten after they refused to reconvert into Hinduism.

To clarify, this statement of mine was not directed at you.

`Stay or leave a discussion board, that is your choice. `

It was directed at tamaashaais whining about having to leave chowk because of `my criticisms of Pakistan`.

``That has to be the dumbest thing I heard so far this year. ``

I am not kidding. I feel that anonymity allows one to adress interactors purely based on contents of their interacts, and that is valuable. (Incidentally this is same as a semetic god idea, is it not?) Ideally, we should know nothing about the interactors. A gharelu rishta out in the open chowk will tend to color the interacts.

Anyway, this board is hosed..look forward to Beena`s next article on her visit (I actually was expecting one from Ferzana).

Soundmeister,

Sorry yaar... I just wanted to second Jang`s post which is the only one here that make sense. I too am perturbed by Chowkstaff`s double standards. As for the sadna issue.. enough said... and no amount of quarterbacking can change the fact. Needless to say big mouths of chowk will think twice before making random bigoted comments.

Thankyou for the congrats.

YLH you punk, you promise to be ``out of here`` (#77) then come right back in a matter of a few posts (#82). Is this some Ivy League usage of ``out of here`` that us humble mortals are unaware of? Or has living in Pakistan depleted your remaining brain cells as well?

Congrats on the marriage BTW.

BTW, this thread is making no sense to those who didn`t read Sadna`s original post, so all of you please shut up and go fight elsewhere...

Dagny...
JG has the details of my last visit...cheers;))

jang #81 I think chowk can be reasonably expected to enforce its guidelines, nothing more. And if they enforce their guidelines, that is enough to make chowk the kind of forum that would attract people with normal IQs.

It is quite funny that you should ask that husband and wife interactors who are not anonymous be forbidden from chowk. That has to be the dumbest thing I heard so far this year. I hope for your sake that you were kidding.

Just when you think India and Pakistan can be friends ....

Sohail Fazal is the manager of Lahore’s landmark store, Pioneer in Main Market.

Does Pakistan share more with its fellow Islamic countries or with India?

I think it has more in common with fellow Islamic countries. I’m a strong believer that India will overwhelm us whenever they get the opportunity.


Muhammad Kashif works at Manzoor Brothers store in Lahore’s Liberty Market. He is also trained in computers.

Does Pakistan share more with its fellow Islamic countries or with India? Which should they form alliances with?

Pakistan is better off if it makes relationships with Arab countries, as then the Arab countries can help us. In every field, whether atomic or anything else.


Do you think there is going to be a clash of civilisations?

If Arab countries and Pakistan join, then maybe it will happen. This would be good for Islam.
