re: Pak`s true face
People around the world are being exposed to Pak`s true face through Mukhtaran Mai. Here are people`s view points:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/4626449.stm
Excerpt:
(For the first time, I`m disgusted with myself for being a Pakistani who supports President Musharraf. By barring Ms Mai from leaving the country - and now her own house - the Pakistani government has again reverted back to its old role of treating women as lower entities. The court`s ruling against Ms Mai has proven, yet again, that Pakistan has evolved only for name - and there as been no internal improvement in the country when it comes to the treatment of women. And yet, we are told that there is no oppression, there are no double standards, and the president is supporting the women of the world. If this is his support, Ms Mai was better off without it.
Benish, Washington, DC, USA)
Meanwhile, Pak dictator happily contemplates buying more war gizmos. Who is he going to defend in POI when most are homeless and many are dying. A good article from Ayaz Amir:
http://www.dawn.com/weekly/ayaz/ayaz.htm
(CONFRONTED with a rising chorus of calls to cut wasteful defence expenditure — emphasis on ‘wasteful’ — the Pakistan government goes ahead and signs a billion dollar deal with Sweden for the purchase of six SAAB early warning aircraft.
It could be forgiven if this deal had been signed before calamity struck our northern mountains. But, no, it was signed in mid-October, a good seven days after the biggest quake in Pakistan’s history. Hand it to the powers that be for brilliant sense of timing.
Calls for cuts in defence spending, even when the case for doing so is rationally argued, are not calculated to amuse any military establishment. But this is a matter of balancing priorities. What’s the more pressing need at present, funds for earthquake relief or a billion dollars down the drain for an early warning system perhaps of great utility in its own right but which at the moment looks silly and unnecessary?
If we are dismayed by the tepid response of the international community to our need for relief assistance, we would sound more convincing if we had our own priorities right.)
There is the answer to author`s question why the world community did not do enough. It is probably disgusted with Pakistan.

Ozer Kardesh,
Nasilsiniz? I have been in Istanbul for less than six months now. My entire life is one long diplomatic mission to bring peace to my fellow human beings. I am not working for any government, but suffice it to say that I am involved in constructive efforts. :) My wife is very religious and our social agenda revolves around her religious group, her friends, and social work. Since I have been here I have not even tasted the wonderful Efes beer that I used to enjoy so much before. Anyway, keep up the good work. I really enjoy your powerful literary abilities. Please don`t let the envious detractors affect you. Bira istiyorum.

As you are posting it everywhere, here is one more suggestion - On this Eid, all of you should SCREAM. Louder you scream, more people you will be able to help.

re: #88 ``as for mukhtar mai, don`t worry about her - she is doing okay now and i am sure she would be willing to donate some money to set up a home for some half-burnt brides in india .................``
tsk tsk. How very crass. ``she is doing ok now``... is she? How would you know? Money is everything for you people isn`t it?
Ever seen a half-burnt bride that you can coffee-table ping-pong so glibly? Filthy pigs.
It`s all very well to throw salt on each other`s festerings, without descending into the absolute abyss of inhumanity.
#95, are you sure $1,000 will rebuild an entire house?
There was a Sunday Times article that Gov. of Pakistan is giving $10,000 to people who lost their homes in the earthquake. Either that`s an outrageous lie or the $1,000 is a typo (?). Also, you did not specify which agency is doing the home rebuilding, so where to send donations? Incidentally, I received a flyer from a friend about earthquake relief and tried to go to the Human Development Foundation website today that sent out that flyer, but the link doesn`t work (www.hdf.com). Could someone here tell me if that is a legitimate agency? Thanks.

Polygamy and jihad
It is a waste of time to talk about a piece of skin, how about something more important which is murdering people.
Latest research has shown that jihad originally was not a central theme of islam and it was much later a kaliffa khusru whu made the concept of jihad popular as he and his friends and relatives were running short of females in harems. He sent the young to be killed to create a female surplus and that is how jihad became central to islam.
The females are kept away from teh streets and as the bombs go off, most killed are men creating a female surplus to meet the demads of polygamy.
Not many are aware of teh polygamic foundations of jihad.
If teh US and other western countries have to manage the jihadic terrorism, the focus has to be on changing the laws related to polygay in muslim countries. If polygamy is banned, then jihad will stop.

``Jaish is a relatively new terrorist outifit started by Maulana Masood Azhar in January 2000 after his release from an Indian jail in exchange for 155 hijacked Indian Airlines passengers held hostage in Kandahar``
Greeting on eid from srinagar, with Jaish mohammed claiming responsibility for the suicide attack.
It was romair and godot and tahmed worried and asked the question, why do the world and indian hate us. Why do they want pakistan iraquised.
The reson is above. The jaish mohammed, the return of Tanweer the london bomber, the crowd in afghanistan, muktar mai, samia sarwar.
That is the reason no one is giving any aid to quake victimes of pakuistan, it has been reduced to a US-nato military operation of hunting down the taliban in POK.
Pkistan has become the niger where millions are killed and no one cares, but with a difference for pakistan, there was a call for help and no one cares, sorry US and nato cares and they have military operations, a great excuse is the earth quake.

I received the following via email which had some practical advice on what to do this eid - and in the weeks, months, years afterwards. I am sure Ozer will not mind my posting it here. I also posted it on unplugged, and my apologies to people who may have already seen it on unplugged. The message is as follows:
Eid Mubarak. May Allah Bless You All.
We celebrate this Eid, with heavy hearts at a time when millions of Pakistanis are mourning the loss of their dear ones, men, women, children, infants, toddlers and innocent who perished (some are still burried in the debris), and the millions, who have become shelterless resulting from the devastating earthquake that has hit Pakistan. Our best satisfaction of Eid will be if we can do whatever possible to help them.
It is estimated that its costs about $1000 to replace a modest house in the devastated villages. I would like each one of us to save this amount in the next 2-3 months from discretionary expenses, by bringing a little bit of modestly in our lifestyle, some suggestions are
• Have and attend fewer parties this and next Eid
• Postpone your next house party
• Make one less trip to the mall
• Buy one less clothing, item, pair of shoes, etc
• Skip eating out for one month
• Take a budget size vacation
• Buy modest Christmas gifts for your employees or co-workers (let them know why)
If you put a dollar amount to the above items you will be amazed to see the total.
Each one of us either personally or through family/friend knows of a victim, please send the saved money directly to that individual.
Please do not get fatigued by the help you have already provided, lets not dwell on what has been done, focus on what has to be done. Please participate at whatever level you are comfortable with. Some other examples are
$20 can provide first aid care for a wounded person
$100 can provide a three-month supply of hygiene kits for 50 people left homeless
$150 can provide clean drinking water for 1,000 people for one week
$500 can provide temporary shelter for 40 families
Please send this email to all your friends asking them for help. I urge you to extend a helping hand, no donation is small, and every donation helps to alleviate suffering.

OK i shot off my mouth too soon. I understand honor killing is practised but illegal. In that case it`s no different than bride burning and the comparison is quite apt. My apologies, hamidmji.

#88 hamidmji,
How could you possibly compare a horrible and discriminatory law with the (lack of a uniform civil code)?
Do you explain to your daughters that daughters and sisters are permitted by law to be murdered under certain circumstances in pakistan and it`s no different than {insert your pet peeve here} in the US? What kind of logic is this?
The question is not whether some section of the society is screwed up but what is the rest of the society doing about it? I`d grant you simply passing laws without changing hearts is no solution. But it is the absolute first step - unless the majority do not think there`s a problem.

Great to see you on this board. You raise an interesting point about Turkish genes, since Turkey has been the cradle of civilisation where Eastern and Western cultures kaleidoscopically integrate; such co-existence is a necessary by-product toward moderation. Or at least an attempt thereof.
Netizen the answer to your question is that there are stakeholders who want the situation to linger and animosity to fester on as it allows them to align their purses.
Jay it is sad to see you tarnish all Pakistanis under the brush of pretence and ill-feeling. Where are the virtues of critical objective open-mindedness ?
Scout tongue twisters can be pleasurable at times, though in your chivalrous contemplation do bear in mind the underlying message behind this discussion: namely the suffering of innocent people in Delhi, and not literary terms of phrase.
Hamid M, speaking of “candles being burnt at both ends” now coincidence along with a tweety bird whispereth into my ear that you are one of the editors at Chowk ! Well glad to witness that you have scrutinised that article as well! Your sudden interest in literary critique, with or without samina or Omar is quite startling and your ingenuity startles the best of us…sheer brilliance. Would love to see one of your articles published some day. A plea from your avid fan ?
Dot Sahib excellent powers of grammatical observation ! Seems we have another “cunning linguist” amongst the ranks.
Now Jung here is a puzzle for your ever-prodigious mind: guess where “Elegant” Elliot Offen got those clothes from in the first place ? Those skeletons are coming out of your closet now aren`t they ? You are an avid reader of Howard Stern publications ? Surely out of necessity and not choice ?

I always hated superficial things like politics and tried to escape it all the time. But the damn thing is chasing me everywhere. First I thought I should avoid superficially getting blown up during my next diwali shopping in india so I went to London. Then I realized that there is greater chance of getting blown up while riding the london subway ... so I left for Paris in the hopes of finding a nice french broad in a local bar. Little did I know that I may end up torched by the rampaging muslim mob..... damn superficial politics.

Good article by Praveen Swami. Gives a careful analysis of likely background behind delhi bombings.
http://www.hindu.com/2005/11/03/stories/2005110302361000.htm
The Lashkar-e-Taiba, in theory and practice
Praveen Swami
Last week`s bombings in New Delhi necessitate a clear understanding of what the terrorist group wants — and what it will do to achieve its ends.
LYING IN his hospital bed in Srinagar`s Government Medical College, recovering from bullet injuries which ripped apart his upper body, Manzoor Ahmad Chilloo evokes pity. Fear, to those who know his story, would seem a more appropriate sentiment. Last year, the student of medicine had been a central figure in a Lashkar-e-Taiba operation to attack the Mumbai Stock Exchange using a car-bomb. Had the operation succeeded, the death toll might well have made the carnage caused by last week`s bombings in Delhi appear trivial.
Much commentary on the bombings has characterised them as a renewal of the Lashkar-e-Taiba`s pan-India war — a break with an overall de-escalation seen during the recent deepening of the India-Pakistan détente process. Such a representation is misplaced. Despite the growing vigour of the India-Pakistan dialogue, the Islamist jihad has continued apace. Few in India, however, understand the full scale and intensity of the Lashkar`s operations — or the hatred that drives them.
Chilloo`s story gives some insight into the workings of the Lashkar`s pan-India operations. A long-time Lashkar operative, Chilloo was detained by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in 2002 on suspicion of ferrying funds to the terror group but was released without charge. He subsequently moved to Pune to pursue studies in medicine. Much of his time, however, was spent on building up a pool of contacts for the Lashkar, drawing on young Pune residents who had been active in the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India.
In early 2004, Chilloo was contacted by the Srinagar-area Lashkar commander Shahid Ahmad, a Pakistani national who operated using the code-name `Zulu`. First sent to Jammu and Kashmir to coordinate a joint assassination squad set up by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and Lashkar, Ahmad`s operation successes led to his being made responsible for operations outside of the State. He turned now to Chilloo, who already had a cell in place.
A carefully-crafted Intelligence Bureau operation — which also led to the controversial elimination of a woman Lashkar operative, Ishrat Jehan Raza, in an encounter in Ahmedabad — eventually led to the detection and exposure of the `Zulu` cell. Chilloo himself, however, remained at large until he was injured in the course of the attempted assassination of a Srinagar-based politician earlier this year. If the chance firefight had not led to his capture, Chilloo might well have been involved in the networks that carried out the Delhi bombings.
Similar networks have been active over the last two decades. All of them trace their ancestry to three key operatives — Abdul Karim `Tunda,` Jalees Ansari, and Azam Ghauri. All Indian nationals, the three were recruited by the Lashkar after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Many others soon joined them, often individuals with SIMI connections. Among them was Amir Hashim, a New Delhi resident who carried out a series of bombings in Delhi, Rohtak, and Jalandhar in 1996 and 1997. Growing numbers of Pakistani nationals, such as Mohammad Salim Junaid, Amir Khan, and Abdul Sattar, also participated directly in the Lashkar`s pan-India operations from 1998.
In 2003, both the Lashkar and the Jaish-e-Mohammad attempted to set up cells to draw on the anger of Gujarat Muslims after the state-organised communal pogrom that tore apart their lives the previous year. Neither organisation had great success — most Indian Muslims seem to believe democratic institutions can address their grievances — but if the Lashkar did execute the Delhi serial bombings, it more likely than not drew on the services of local supporters recruited from regional Islamist groups.
What does the Lashkar want?
Tempting as it might be to see the Lashkar`s operations as driven by revenge — against communal violence or the conviction of operatives involved in earlier terrorist strikes — its objectives are more elemental.
Just last month, the Lashkar served public notice of its intentions. In its September 23 issue, the Lashkar-affiliated magazine Ghazwa editorially called for a renewal of Pakistani state support for the jihad in Jammu and Kashmir. India, it claimed, was working to divide Pakistani society by ``cunningly using the slogan of friendship,`` while at once supporting forces hostile to it in Baluchistan and Afghanistan. Ghazwa demanded that President Musharraf admit that the détente process had given Pakistan nothing and work instead ``to fortify the jihad.``
Of arguments that continued support for jihad imposed unacceptable costs upon Pakistan, Ghazwa was dismissive. ``Now is the right time for Pakistan to support the jihad in Kashmir,`` it said, ``because America has entangled herself in the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and in addition is suffering from severe afflictions like Katrina and Rita.`` ``Pakistan should remember,`` the magazine asserted, ``that even a so-called superpower like the United States has been badly worn at the hands of the mujahideen. Remember what happened to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and then think about India: how can it resist the jihad?``
Understanding the Lashkar position requires an engagement with its core position: that the jihad in Jammu and Kashmir is not a battle over territory, but a part of an irreducible conflict between Islam and unbelief. Committed to the eventual creation of a caliphate that would rule over all the world`s Muslims, the Lashkar asserts that a jihad-without-end must continue ``until Islam, as a way of life, dominates the whole world and until Allah`s law is enforced everywhere in the world.`` As the noted scholar of Islam Yoginder Sikand perceptively pointed out, the Lashkar`s vision of Islam is one that leads it to represent the Quran itself as a manifesto for jihad.
Indian rule in Jammu and Kashmir is, in this construction, necessarily evil and oppressive, because ``the Hindus have no compassion in their religion.`` ``In fact,`` Hafiz Mohammed Saeed who heads Markaz Dawa wal`Irshad, a seminary which runs a massive network of charitable and educational institutions in Pakistan, had declared some years ago, ``the Hindu is a mean enemy and the proper way to deal with him is the one adopted by our forefathers, who crushed them by force.`` India is, in turn, part of just a global system of oppression that must be overthrown by force. As the Lashkar spokesperson Nazir Ahmad bluntly stated: ``through the jihad that the mujahideen have launched in Kashmir, Islam will become dominant all over the world.``
Not surprisingly, some Lashkar-affiliated leaders have operated in Iraq and the United Kingdom; cells have also been detected in the United States. Despite considerable global pressure on Pakistan to dismantle the Lashkar, its infrastructure is largely intact. After British investigators found that terrorists involved in the recent bombings of the London Underground had visited Lashkar facilities, little doubt was left that its activities posed a global threat. Yet the Lashkar`s fundraising activities, as well as the recruitment of personnel and the military training of cadre, continue apace under the Markaz Dawa banner. All of this begs the obvious question: why?
Facing the future
Analysts offer several possible answers to the question. One explanation might be that the tail wags the dog: that Pakistan`s President simply does not have enough support within his military to act against those it gave birth to during the Afghan jihad and is tied to by links of ideology and faith. Another plausible theory, advocated amongst others by the scholar and academic Husain Haqqani, is that continued jihadist activity suits General Musharraf, allowing him to represent himself to the world as the last line of defence against an Islamist coup.
Either way, the Delhi bombings have once again made clear a stark fact: as long as terrorist groups possess the capabilities to carry out violent acts, they will sooner or later use what is available. Given past experience, it is unlikely that the tragedy in Delhi will force General Musharraf to change course. In key senses, Ghazwa is right: the U.S. is too preoccupied with events in Iraq and Afghanistan, and too dependent on Pakistani support for its counter-terrorism campaign, to make Jammu and Kashmir-related developments a central policy concern.
Without dispute, the Lashkar is well-positioned to capitalise on the situation. Set up with the support of Pakistan`s Inter-Services Intelligence and Osama bin-Laden aide Abdullah Azam, the Lashkar has emerged as an organisation of global reach, largely untouched by the U.S.` war against terrorism. Part of a sprawling political empire, the Lashkar is the armed wing of the Markaz Dawa. Although the Markaz denies it has any connection with the Lashkar, the claim has been debunked by a large mass of media investigation and scholarly work.
It is not, of course, as if the Lashkar is the sole suspect in the Delhi serial bombings: others have demonstrated both the intent and capability needed to strike across India in the past. Bilal Beig`s Jammu and Kashmir Islamic Front, which bombed Delhi`s Lajpat Nagar market in 1996, has been showing signs of revival in recent months. Both the Jaish-e-Mohammad and the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen have carried out operations outside of Jammu and Kashmir in the past. Yet given the strength of its infrastructure and its deep links with Pakistan`s military establishment, it is without doubt the principal terrorist threat to India today. Abdul Karim Tunda, the Lashkar founding father in India, has been spotted more than once at the Jamaat ud-Dawa campus at Muridke, near Lahore. If Pakistan is serious about ending the Lashkar`s war against India, it could start by handing him over for trial.

The Lashkar-e-Taiba, in theory and practice
Praveen Swami
Last week`s bombings in New Delhi necessitate a clear understanding of what the terrorist group wants — and what it will do to achieve its ends.
LYING IN his hospital bed in Srinagar`s Government Medical College, recovering from bullet injuries which ripped apart his upper body, Manzoor Ahmad Chilloo evokes pity. Fear, to those who know his story, would seem a more appropriate sentiment. Last year, the student of medicine had been a central figure in a Lashkar-e-Taiba operation to attack the Mumbai Stock Exchange using a car-bomb. Had the operation succeeded, the death toll might well have made the carnage caused by last week`s bombings in Delhi appear trivial.
Much commentary on the bombings has characterised them as a renewal of the Lashkar-e-Taiba`s pan-India war — a break with an overall de-escalation seen during the recent deepening of the India-Pakistan détente process. Such a representation is misplaced. Despite the growing vigour of the India-Pakistan dialogue, the Islamist jihad has continued apace. Few in India, however, understand the full scale and intensity of the Lashkar`s operations — or the hatred that drives them.
Chilloo`s story gives some insight into the workings of the Lashkar`s pan-India operations. A long-time Lashkar operative, Chilloo was detained by the Jammu and Kashmir Police in 2002 on suspicion of ferrying funds to the terror group but was released without charge. He subsequently moved to Pune to pursue studies in medicine. Much of his time, however, was spent on building up a pool of contacts for the Lashkar, drawing on young Pune residents who had been active in the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India.
In early 2004, Chilloo was contacted by the Srinagar-area Lashkar commander Shahid Ahmad, a Pakistani national who operated using the code-name `Zulu`. First sent to Jammu and Kashmir to coordinate a joint assassination squad set up by the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen and Lashkar, Ahmad`s operation successes led to his being made responsible for operations outside of the State. He turned now to Chilloo, who already had a cell in place.
A carefully-crafted Intelligence Bureau operation — which also led to the controversial elimination of a woman Lashkar operative, Ishrat Jehan Raza, in an encounter in Ahmedabad — eventually led to the detection and exposure of the `Zulu` cell. Chilloo himself, however, remained at large until he was injured in the course of the attempted assassination of a Srinagar-based politician earlier this year. If the chance firefight had not led to his capture, Chilloo might well have been involved in the networks that carried out the Delhi bombings.
Similar networks have been active over the last two decades. All of them trace their ancestry to three key operatives — Abdul Karim `Tunda,` Jalees Ansari, and Azam Ghauri. All Indian nationals, the three were recruited by the Lashkar after the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Many others soon joined them, often individuals with SIMI connections. Among them was Amir Hashim, a New Delhi resident who carried out a series of bombings in Delhi, Rohtak, and Jalandhar in 1996 and 1997. Growing numbers of Pakistani nationals, such as Mohammad Salim Junaid, Amir Khan, and Abdul Sattar, also participated directly in the Lashkar`s pan-India operations from 1998.
In 2003, both the Lashkar and the Jaish-e-Mohammad attempted to set up cells to draw on the anger of Gujarat Muslims after the state-organised communal pogrom that tore apart their lives the previous year.

Education in pakistan,
Pak president is advised by the bet educated of pakistan. It is they who told him to remove the passport of muktar mai. They insisted on having a police man when ever she was interviewed, and all her mail was searched. It is the educated of pakistan that approved the above process.
Little did they know that the world will not tolerate this. Now the president has been forced to change his decision. It is the educated of pakistan that decided that mai will bring disgrace to pakistan. One can see the same mind set on chowk. For tahmeds and godots talking about the legal basis of honour killing in pakistan is a disgrace.
The humiliation and disgrace brought on by the pakistanis is astounding. Education do not give the pakistanis a reasoning ability.
Tahmed and godot talk of human rights in kashmir, for them hoodood is no problem. They never admit that the only crime against the state in pakistan is blasophemy. They never admit that hoodood has changed the mindset of pakistan. Ant criticism of hoodood is bvlasohemy and ISI will be at teh tahmed door step. Even on chowk, no pakistani dares to criticise hoodood. Their criticism is limited to telling that Zia did it.

hamidm: Zeena is a female poster that brave chowk warriors like mannyd fight with whenever they get the chance. She is perfectly decent (and posts some very nice pictures of gardens and things) normally, but some scumbags on chowk have found that she is sensitive to their trash posts and so take great joy in baiting her causing her to react. I think it is disgraceful for mannyd to try and trash her on the front page...but this is the desi man for you. Ready to harass any female they can manage - even if on the internet.

{`` do not want to see anyone banned, but considering that you have spent more years in Chowk slammer than Gandhi in british jails, I have to request Chowk for equal treatment for the three genders; males, females and Mullahs.``}
Mannyd,
Yes, Prithviraj Dada was a very honorable and chivalrous man. I am fortunate to be related to that great man.
I accept the comparison to Bapu and reiterate that I will keep going to Chowk Slammer over and over until the tyrants quit and go back to their European land.

Hamidum Sahib,
She is the resident haina (sic) of Chowk UP. Comparison to defecating elephants is just relative with respect to manners. Speaking of voyeurism, on another note, people do travel to Bali as toursits and pay to watch elephants copulate (and of course defecate). That still doesn`t explain the rage of jihadists and repeated bombings on that lovely isle.

Do not take it personally. The octogenarian sage has selective senility (he also suffers from selinity, but that`s another story!). He can pontificate from either side of the pulpit, it just depends on the ``contributions.`` :)
Now, by all that I didn`t mean to call him a switch pontificator or an alternating altercator.

something has got to change !
........... the bromidic remarks being repeated, day in and day out, by the plebian interlocuters on this chimerically comical forum are maddingly middling, and are painfully painful to the acute sensibilities of most sensible people, even when those who have apparently lost control of their senses as they enter the flickering twilight of their life when the candle that they burned at both ends in their exhuberant youth is beginning to die out and as some youthful yeomen cheer them on and try to emulate their ebullient effervescence which, in the long run, is going to be a detriment to improving indo-pak relations .................
........ that was for ozer ..........
............for the rest of us, what i am trying to say is that this daily rhetoric is getting old ........ the horrible hindoos (i need to come up with a new epithet, this is getting old too) accuse the paki converts of being circumcised, supporting terrorism and hadood laws, raping and pillaging for the last ten centuries, not having enough chemist shops, cross border terrorism (as opposed to in-border terrorism), not having enough help desk engineers, more terrorism, killing bengalis and biharis and other ethnic groups starting with the second letter in the alphabet, not having a railway stationin in lahore, collecting funds for jihad and other charitable causes, changing their names and denyng their hindoo roots, killing shias, allowing mantolives to live, worshiping jinnah instead of gandhi, yet more terrorism, denying mukhtar mai a visa, supporting honor killings and abandoning the practice of sati, not eating enough heeng and, once again, not having enough chemist shops .................
...... the pathetic pakis (another hackneyed term that needs to go) happily accuse the indians of wearing dhotis, eating heeng, burning brides and being butt ugly ........
........personally, i see merit in only two of those charges : not having enough chemist shops and being butt-ugly ............ the rest, as they say, is all politics .............

Having been in uniform myself, I say this with a heavy heart. Why have things come to this? In 1971 wherever we went people greeted us, waved at us, gave us food and offered help. Helping the army was considered a privilege and even when Dhaka fell and our eastern command laid down its arms, they didn’t blame us soldiers, they said we had been stabbed in the back. People held Yahya Khan and his coterie (and their serious tippling) responsible for th``e debacle, not the army as a whole. It all seems so long ago.``
The above is quote from Ayaz Amir. Poor Ayaz, take it from me Ayaz, your version of the army is long gone, the present one is a jihadic army, the troops are indoctrinated with jihad, that is why they cannot help pakistanis in troubnle, but they killed the indian troops captured in Kargill by slitting their throats, true jihadic style, per the book.
Ayaz, learn from evidence, look and learn

Chowk “Walleh” many thanks for interacting.
Dear Salim Chauhan you sound like a well-travelled and seasoned interactor. I read with interest your encouraging comments and do poignantly agree with bringing “rotten apples” to justice. Unfortunately slanderous generalisations and mud-slinging have once more caught the better of politicians and Chowk interactors alike. Salim siz Turkiye de yasadiniz mi? Salim bey, Turkiye de hangi shehir de yashadiniz ?
Dr Lokraj you pose a pertinent question regarding normalization in the region: the evident answer that springs to mind are the usual culprits, the likes of Jamaat-e-Islami, the RSS, the saffron brigades benefiting from the status quo and the military industrial complex reaping huge expediency from broad expense allowances due to augmenting defence budgets. The question is, Dr Lokraj can the nuclear neighbours, long mired in a bloody territorial dispute, resolve their differences before it is too late?
Jay, everyone is entitled to the freedom of thought, yet mocking an earthquake that has killed circa 100,000 hardly seems befitting to an ethical conscience like yours. This article is not about vomiting nationalistic fervour, but about New Delhi and her grief, along with what investigative measures can be taken to alleviate the debacle.
HP many thanks for the comprehensive answer, glad to hear that Rajiv and his parents are hail and hearty. What was meant by the paragraph in question is that people on both sides of the border, are quick at pointing the accusatory finger and latch onto simplistic conspiracy theories regarding the bombings trying to stir up political angst to further their own agendas.
Ahhh Hamid M...... my most coveted fan! Welcome! Tis a great pleasure yet again to witness thy pearls of wisdom. Glad to see you are now handing out the Oscars. Sorry to hear about your experiences in the eight grade. How are the exam preparations coming along? Ready to take on that audacious teacher ? Good luck with the exams. Sincerely hope you make it to the 9th.
T Ahmed, speaking of handing out Oscars, it is heartening to see that you have nominated Yoda and your revered Jedi Master, the inimitable Hamid M. Yet even after all those years of training Jedi the laggard trailed behind Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke in the common-sense stakes. Anyways hope all is well with you.
Soysauce, adding a bit of bitter to the dish eh? Your stirring is constructive. Do however appreciate that everyone has their own style of writing.

A nation and its president,
Pakistanis are proud people, they are proud that they have the islamic bomb.
Their president ordered the removal of passport from an ordinary woman in pakistan, raped according to teh hoodood laws of pakistan. President intervened, there was a trial, several were sentenced to death, un-heard of in pakistan, and probably a sentence ordered by the president. The higher court, teh sheria court has set aside the sentences.
Now the porr president had to order the passp[ort back to the rape vicitim, because ythe ex-president of USA is planning to give an award to her.
President of the most powerful islamic country in the world could not deny passport to its own citizen. Why, there are no laws in pakistan, it is a failed stste. A trgedy for the educated of pakistan, for the tahmeds. Godot, take it from me, this post is not about hatred, it is about you to support change in pakistan.
Pakistanis are proud people, they are proud that they have the islamic bomb.
Their president ordered the removal of passport from an ordinary woman in pakistan, raped according to teh hoodood laws of pakistan. President intervened, there was a trial, several were sentenced to death, un-heard of in pakistan, and probably a sentence ordered by the president. The higher court, teh sheria court has set aside the sentences.

Wrath of gods or wrath of the world,
Every one in pakistan is complaining that there is not much releif supplies in pakistan. One version is that it is the wrath of gods for mushy dealing with the hindus and the jews, the first fpormal meeting with israel. So pakistanis deserve it. No doubt the above could be true. To reverse that pakistan has to be more jihadic, opemn more mdrasas, sent more to london, erect a monument for Tanweer, a larger one than that built now by the laskers.
There is a more practical alternate. Pakistan is already a jihadic state, any money that is not channelled through the IMF system will definitely go to the jihadis controlling pakistan. Hence there are meetings and pledges of support, no money is handed over and all will be adjusted against promised other funding for pakistan.
Only way t improve the situation is for pakistan to close down the madrassas, shut down the jihadis and demolish Tanweer memorial.
Poor tahmed, godots and the other educated pakistanis are in a fix, the same emperical event, opposite solutions to address it.
let god shower mercy on godot and tahmed.

``The female poster Tahmed 32 refers to is Zeena, the most foul mouthed, idiotic barely literate poster on Chowk. Her work needs to be collected and posted up here on FP for the future idiots to follow and refer to. All I said to her was `Same to you` after she wished death and destruction on me and my female relatives. Not once the prophet of decency, protector of female virtue Tahmed 32 opened his mouth to advise his protege.``
Did you Prophet Tahmed32 advise Zeena to abstain ever? You want her handiwork on this page here to prove my charges against her?

29 Thanks hamid saab.
I am in a hurry, only a few days on chowk, and I do have to give the hungry chowkies my world view and a little bit of good old paki-bashing.
But the fact remains that the world is changing too fast for the pakistanis. I do hope that the importance of the return of all the londion bombers to pakistan will not be lost to teh world media and the terrorism analysts.
By the way, there is a news item today that a US helicopter in POK has been fired on. I do expect more attacks, all looks good for pakistan.

wth?
I keep telling my 12-year old daughter who has taken quite a fancy to them to cut down on adjectives and alliteration. The strained language ends up rendering the underlying emotion contrived and artificial. Same to you too.

kaurasach,
To add to my post 22:
Nobody is denying the many contributions of the Sikhs. They are the one truly all-rounder community successful in everything including agriculture, science, business, sports and military. Good for them and good for Punjab and India.
However, your attitude of ``Sikhs never do any wrong`` and ``Hindus should forever be obligated to Sikhs for x, y,z...`` is seriously nauseating.

SAhame of a nation,
A nuclear power with only 35 helicopters but with so called missiles and nukes. It is time that the world set an end to this jihad under mushroom clouds scenario.
Afghanistan is facing the consequences of this version of jihad, india is becomig an increasing victim of it.
The present US strategy to address this problem is a long drawn one. It aims to make pakistan at par with north Korea, with a slow economic decline, incresing poverty as evidenced by the beggers in pak cities is an unsure process. May be in another decade, pakistan could be at par with North korea, starvation and deceases being the norm and incresed US and NATO troops in pakistan.
May be india should accelerate the process. It needed more than a decade of sanctions before iraquisation, 25 years of technology denial for Korea, it is all too long. May be india should finish of the suffering of pakistanis quickly.

Hamidum Sahib,
Jealousy does not become you. :)
I prefer Ozer`s brilliancy over Saminasha`s hysteria. Ozer has forgotten more adjectives, similes, and metaphors than you have ever crammed in your long life. Another thing, he does not wear out the period key when he writes.

Earth quake assessment
The number of beggers in the pak cities will increase as the distitutes from the earth quakes flock to the cities and teh trafic lights.
The jihadis will corner the land and assets unclaimed in POK.
Most of teh textile sector of pakistan will be affected as the free, no-cost blankets find their way into the markets competing with local production.
Pak spending on education and other social functions will decline as the funds are diverted to earth quake victims.
Pka military spending will increase as the military structures in POK will be rebuilt at the cost of the poor.
Jihad in POK will intensify as they get entrenched with assets in POK. The only deterrent is the NATO troops.

ghoulish bomb blasts
the spine of Delhi
ghastly wake
aberrantly unambiguous metropolis
Gaudy neon lights
Rattled citizens
a flashlight fever
flickering candles
sobering thump
glittering saris and citizenry are interposed with a panic-stricken dyslexia hitherto unseen poignant prudence
revelers sagaciously heeded the government`s caveat to stay within their safer sanctuaries
........... AND THE WINNER IS ??????????
glittering saris and citizenry are interposed with a panic-stricken dyslexia hitherto unseen
