Dost-mittar #245: I am not sure how you have ended up in HP`s list. I don`t think you belong there. There may have been some single comment, at some time, which perhaps he is concentrating on, that put you there......Other than your misguided and stubbornly nationalistic views on Kashmir and your support of the human rights violations there, I have found your views on most other Sub-Continental issues quite balanced......

Re: # 246

Romair:

If the bomb blasts are an act of the kashmiri jihadis then rather than feeling sorry for the victims, go and close the jihadi infrastructure that you have created in PoK.

Your/Pak condolences doesn`t mean a zilch as long as the another batch of jihadiS is ready to sneak in from PoK.

Re: # 291

behram:

let me give you a scenario and get your response to it:

Lets say, your neighbour has reared a nasty dog. One fine day, this dog bites you real hard in your own yard because of which you get stiches. In the evening your neighbour comes to your house and apologies. You forgive the dog.

Next week, the dog once again bites you, because of which you have to get stiches and antibiotics. your neighbour once again apologizes but at the same time leaves leaves the dog free to come into your yard.

One more week and the dog is yet again in your yard and bites you real hard....

what are you going to do. just accept your neighbours deepest sympathies, time and again or get a rifle and kill that beeeyatch wherever you find it.

Re: # 323

Dear Netizen:

The truth is that your scenario does not apply to any of us on this chowk. Personally, I do not represent Pakistan or any other country in this world. Heck, I don`t even represent my own city where I live in.

As a servant of humanity, I am equally dismayed at what happened. I extended my deepest condolences to everyone on this chowk. I would be disappointed if you create other conversations out of this.

Respectfully submitted,

Re: # 336

Behram:

the scenario does exist. or else none of us would be on chowk discussing matters/topics from india/pakistan. i am not be personally there but my family, relatives are. even romair who is in canada is as much pakistani at heart as i am indian.

this example was to give you an idea of the situation and how ridiculous it is for pak to assume that it has no responsibility for its action, even though indirect ones.

even if you are not a representative of pakistan, i hope you see the logic in calling a spade a spade. unless it is done, the jihadi machine will claim more innocent lives.

thanks for your concern for the dead and the suffering, as a human being.

mannyd#236, 237:

If it is any comfort, I am already on that list. You dont have to do much to get on the list. You stay off that list as long as you hate being a Hindu and view Indian history from a Muslim perspective only, as soon as you start taking any pride in Pre-Islamic India, you enter that list, regardless of how much you hate saffron brigade. Some people are willing to put even Amartya Sen on that list despite his life long fight against hindu bigots for the same reason.

As my being in Canada, with Internet, I don`t think it makes much differences these days whether you are in Chandigarh or Ottawa.

Re: # 245

dost-mittar,

........ if it is any consolation you are on my lost of ``good`` indians along with stuka, kaal, kaura, anil, shankar and many others .......

....... of course there are the ``bad`` indians like arjun, vereesh, rsridhar and the many incarnations of gujju ...........

........ but there are also the bad pakis like urstruly. ali and the late echoboom who was last seen wearing a suicide belt in new delhi - as far as i am concerned, these people need to be hung from the nearest tree .............

..... romair, of course, is from another planet and cannot be held to human standards ........

.......... and please do accept my condolences for the carnage in delhi - it is high time to end this madness ............ but i am a pessimist

Salim_Chauhan#237:

I have no doubt that the US ``persuasion`` played a significant role in that decision. Re. Shias, I thought you would know that Shia-Sunni politics plays a prominent role in some constituencies in U.P, especially Lucknow. Hindvi should be able to confirm this. There was a history of Shia-Sunni trouble during Moharram, which was, ironically, ironed out by the BJP which, I believe, does secure a small percentage of Muslim votes in Lucknow of the personal popularity of Atal Vajpayee.

Dear Chowk Interactors,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the tragedy of New Delhi terrorists bombings. We must continue to condemn this violence. There is no justification whatsoever for the killings of innocent civilians.

Respectfully submitted,

Behram B. Atashband

Re: # 292 bheram
//...I am sorry that you feel this way...//

what can I say? ..... this jihad killing machine is running non-stop for last 15 years - with full support of paki govt, people and civil society..... you folks have done nothing to stop jihad against hinuds ....infact it`s opposite, you folks are generating a billion dollar a year to feed the jihad monster so that it keeps killing kafirs.....

After all that, you come along and say ``my condolences``...... That`s just straight out of the mafia movies - where the don sends hitmen to kill the guy and then shows up at the funeral to comfort the widow......

I mean, come on.... give us hinuds a break..... take your ``condolences`` and shove it.... we are all stocked up here with fake ``condolences`` already....

``But as far as India and Non Alignment Movement is concerned, it is Ram NAM Sat Hai! ``

That was a clever play on acronym NAM DM sahib...LOL
I do not know if Pakistanis know it is the chant used in the Hindu funeral processions.

You seem to have a very keen interest in and knowledge of Indian politics for somebody in Canada. Did your work involve you with the governments and politics there?

Thanks for your sympathies Salim Sahib about the blasts in Delhi. we do have some relatives in Delhi. Will try to call them soon.
