Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion

Sean Hannity is a stupid Fk but that is what he said and the context was Philip ji's rather comic post. I said leading american news analysis show host.....I didn't say his analysis is/was great. Remember Fox ratings are high, analysis is often stupid and racist. so what does that make of americans...

Re: Indian Foreign Policy

Just read on twitter that India has voted against Israel in a motion moved by Pakistan?

He is now chairman of the Press Council of India. There was an additional judge of the Madras high court against whom ther...

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

this whole vaidhik(?) issue is a pathetic thrashing about by congress. as far as scandals go, this is not even close. in fact, the scandal should be - what the heck is mani shankar upto coordinating these things.

Re: Internal Security Watch

Majority of Indian subcontinent Muslims are followers of Barelvi sect, which are strongly against Wahhabi ideology. Sub cont Muslims are dargah loving and that's a strict no-no for Wahhabis. Wahhabis and even Deobandis consider this dargah business as 'biddah' and an act of Kuffar. Wahhabis visiting...

If this rehab process goes thru successfully, I would be tempted to purchase a farm-house in Kashmir, in 'behti ganga mein...', and claim innocence that my resident papers were dstroyed in fire. :D

Re: Islamism & Islamophobia Abroad - News & Analysis

>>I think there's more to it. I'd be happy to learn. I'm not being frivolous here. Do put forward the name of any widely regarded Islamic scholar who actually says that Ijtehad can happen outside the confines of the Koran/Hadith. Even your example above is an example of that. If reason, i.e. dilige...

^^^ Much easier option would be to allow any Indian to settle there. In no time, Muslims there will become minority. True. Revoking Art 370 would be ideal. Kashmiris have been living under fat subsidies for too long. Also really sick of media constantly blarring "we need to win the heart of Ka...

Re: J&K News and Discussion-2011

KPs have already moved on in their lives, and older generation who fled the valley, won't be making decisions in their family as to where to move/live. I doubt if later generations would be interested in going back. Kashmir's ethnic cleansing of KPs, I am afraid, is damage permanently done. However ...

Re: Narendra Modi vs the Dynasty: Contrasting Ideas of India

Amir Khan has to earn his crores in India. He is just trying to make up for past criticisms/opposition. Modi is just being generous. Nothing more to it. Namo is smarter than that. He is not being generous. My gut feeling is that, he is telling AK "You do what I tell you to, or else we will ens...

Re: Islamism & Islamophobia Abroad - News & Analysis

I think there's more to it. From what I had about it, Ijtihad would get rid of current trend where Islam is taught as literal interpretation instead of contextualized/situation based. One example where Ijtihad would be required is the finality of prophethood. According to Quran, Muhammed was merely ...

The last will never happen for then it wont be Islam. RJ does not have full undesrtanding. Needs some educamation from Bji on why it wont happen. Islam is misogynist for a fundamental reason.

Would Akal-i-less cooperate for all this infrastructure planning for Varanasi? Bro, both CBI and IB's control will now be with Namo. If Namo wants Akhilesh will dance like Hema Malini in Sholay. And even then if he starts impeding the project execution, then there is always Article 356. Nice !! :tw...
