Why didn't she leave him?

Anecdotal evidence counts for nothing and you know that.

That said, the reason is that contrary to the general belief here, women in the west are women too and not sluts as most people (especially in the subcontinent) would like to believe. Once in a relationship, it is tougher for women to walk out of it than it is for men.

Bhoots (esp of undesirable people) ain't allowed to become chowk members.

There you go Majumdar bhai! See, it took just a couple of posts for you to do the exact opposite of what you were saying earlier :-P

To tell you the truth I dont think I have abused anyone on chowk (hopefully).

Majumdar bhai, Bapuji is asking if he isn't a part of Chowk? ;-)

30 Days in Afghanistan - Dinner Conversations #43 by Cobra

Is 2.5 billion enough for you. Life has been procreating for last two billion plus years, according to modern science.

Cobra yaar, men must have been drinking for about the same period too, don't you think?

The difference is it is harder for a woman to leave an abusive husband than leaving an abusive boyfriend. But some of them still DON'T.

If you read Romair's post carefully, you will notice how he gloats at how bad women have it in the west, while Paki women are basking in the shadows of their benign husbands. If you honestly think that's not the case, I will try to reply to your question.

I hope that you were just pointing out to Romair what an idiot he is, and this is not about who is better (even if it is relatively). . . .

Ana, this is NOT about who is better. I'm absolutely mad at how Romair uses an isolated (or maybe a few) incident(s) to prove how men in Pakistan are better. I've used the same stereotype of men in Pakistan as he was using of men and abused women in the west. I hope by using his anecdote, I would be able to get to him. Being beaten by a family member or a boyfriend, what difference does it make to the woman at the receiving end? Is one better than the other?

This defensiveness on the part of some of you men here is somewhat typical.

Thanks! The usage of the word "some" makes it so much better than it would have been otherwise.

......having heard all such stories.....i still think pakistani men - at least the ones who have had some exposure - are still relatively good husbands.......

Whenever I went to a certain part of Canada where a certain Paki airforce ex-employee landed after being kicked out by his employers, I used to stay with him. He used to be so badly bashed up by his wife that it was difficult to believe that in this day and age, men can be so meek and submissive. If it had happened in Pakistan, it wouldn't be so hard for me to believe. So what if this guy had to bend over backwards at home? At least outside it, he could pretend that he was a real macho man and since Pakistan is such a male-dominated society, no one would even suspect the horror that was going on inside the four walls of his home, kinda like Josef Fritzl led a normal life even though he had confined his daughter to a dungeon in his basement.

After I saw this incident, I think Indian men are lucky, so what if they're nagged incessantly by their wives/girlfriends? At least they don't get beaten up like my friend used to.

AFAIK, Shandana is a Christian. BTW, why are you picking on her?

Hopefully not MAJ (pbuh)

Don't think Jinnah was capable of that. He was so full of himself that he wouldn't recognize greatness in others even if his life depended on it.

There is one canard about Gandhi that you may want to dispel. That he was a Mahatma.

Majumdar bhai, did you notice I never called him that? And do you know that Gandhi didn't give himself that name?

Race to the Finish #723 by zeemax

But let's not have a Jinnah/partition debate. It will invite BJ Kumar/Harish. Manto is MIA though!

I couldn't care less about Jinnah or the Partition. Both are long dead. But if people try to spread canards about Gandhi, I won't hesitate to come in uninvited.

BJP is for migration of Bengali Hindus into West Bengal.
Congress, TC and CPI(M) for everybody....

The question is not whether we should allow Bangladeshis, it is whether it is being done legally. The commies simply need votebanks and the illegal B'deshi migrants fulfil that need nicely.

I agree with Majumdar bhai that India has the moral obligation towards Hindus in Pakistan/B'desh.

Nirmala Deshpande - A Truly Great Soul #177 by nkg

Yaar I saw a documentary series on NDTV which showed how local authorities from the CPI prepared voter and ration cards for infiltrators and helped them settle so that they could bolster their votebanks.

Anyways, I don't what to label Bongs wholesale as you have done to Tamilians. I've met Majumdar bhai and he's a gem of a person.

Nirmala Deshpande - A Truly Great Soul #170 by nkg

With 2.5 crore ( at least) aditional population for a small state like Bengal, it is doing quite good.

And who welcomes those 2.5 crore additional people, giving them voter ID and ration cards? The very commies you elect term after term. Why blame them?

Nirmala Deshpande - A Truly Great Soul #170 by nkg

Only living Noble Laurate from India is a Bengali :-)

When Sir CV Raman was alive, he was the only living Nobel Laureate from India and a Tamilian too. What does it prove?

I bet if Prof Amartya Sen had remained in Bengal, he would have turned out to be another chain-smoking commie loving gentleman :-)

Maybe he would have accepted that the TNT was right!

Gandhi's principle was that all human beings were one. TNT being such a divisve ideology would never have found favor with him.
