Re: Articles 370 and 35A Repealed, J&K and Ladakh to be Separate Union Territories
For Bart and those interested: A series of posts from 2003 . . . ==//== The theorem of Pakeeness: It began with an question by kashmal_a who, like all those who had bothered to notice Pakees, saw the spectacular nature of Pak stupidity (which in Pakistan is called tactical brilliance), and plaintive...
