Google/Search engines are the deciding factor. BR is no longer just a hangout for desis to vent. It's becoming more prominent amongst opinion makers and intelligentsia in many parts of the world. Our influence arises out of the usage of English and the simplicity of the premise. "Terrorist Isla...
AoA, my fellow maulanas. Bliss to see our herrow of Bakistan, Dr. Aurangzeb Hafi. http://tribune.com.pk/story/108003/prof-hafi-among-global-thematic-merit-icons-of-the-decade/ All my fourth kujjins on Def'n'Dumb are beside themselves on the mighty achievements of our Herrow. Take that, you kufrs! Th...
Wondering if anyone is on top of the Reko Diq affair in Balochistan. News reports indicate something like $250 billion worth of gold and copper deposits. I hope this is just another example of madrassa math. The implication of that much hitting the coffers of the Puki state is nothing but trouble fo...
Let's hope our spooks are reviewing the current situation with Pakisatan's minorities as a potential source of intelligence assets for the future. Maybe the next NSA will be able to tell the future PM that other "options" exist, should a retaliation for a 26/11 be in the works.
Indians are no less smart. But the brightest Indians do not always aspire to be in government/public service is my point. That affects the quality of the bureaucrats we produce, the policies rolled out, the infrastructure created etc. The Chicom party, is not to be contrasted with another political ...
Chinese interlocutors and government officials are not to dismissed lightly. They are the creme de la creme of China. Apparently, the best minds in China want/aspire to be part of the communist party which is like a big corporate entity. The party offers the upward mobility irrespective of where (so...
I fail to understand the point of this civil suit. It's not like the ISI chief or Sayed and co. will show up to defend themselves. In this entire episode, one understand's India's monumentally foolish dossier-baazi as a response from our babu-log in the hallowed corridors of Delhi. But the Israelis ...
See the problem is that I went on to ask some serious questions thinking there would be some food for thought. Turns out this character is here to post in bumper-stickerese. My fault I guess; too much to expect a genuinely intellectual Paki. I wonder what answers might come from having someone like ...
To be honest, regular Pakistanis view the remaining Hindus in a benign manner. They are not a demographic threat either can they vote themselves in. Remaining Sikhs take care of their temples and we view them as revenue generators for the tourist industry. They also accept that this is a country ma...
There's no point asking lestat to explain the principles of the Paki state as such or their policies. However it would seem of utility to deconstruct the visceral hatred to understand it's underpinnings, as also the contradictions that such propagandized education attempts to explain away. Once agai...
I definitely took Pakistan Studies in my middle school years. It emphasised lot of the differences and highlighted the achievements of the Muslims on the sub-continent. Mushy removed it from the curriculum or changed alot of it. Pakistani environment also effects the character levels as well. Most ...
Lestat - So, it's interesting to hear that Pakistanis are institutionally indoctrinated into hating Hindus. Not news, but certainly a first-hand confirmation goes some way in terms of validation, I suppose. 1. Is this specific to Indian Hindus or does it also include whatever remaining Pakistani Hin...

It is better that Indian media is ignoring such asswholes and denying them undue popularity and credibility. Zion Hamid is garnering popularity because he is saying things loudly what pakis desperately want to listen. Cmde Bhaskar ought to choose TV programs to participate with more care. Even insi...
This thing has had me in splits since morning. Our favourite Zion Hamid and his pal Ahmed Conspiracy try to play "Analyst Analyst" with Cmde Uday Bhaskar. The gem in this piece is how "Col. Proheeeeth" is launching a "fascist coup" with Israel to get an "Indian gov...
BRF Jingos, Here's a chance to do some psyops. The BBC "World Have Your Say" program is hosting tomorrow's program in the Taj, Mumbai to review the progress on 26/11. Kindly do not forget to post your comments and disavow the equal-equal tripe. http://worldhaveyoursay.wordpress.com/2009/05...
This is such a pointless pi$$ing match. Many here, I am willing to bet, are uninterested in who has seen "action" and who is the "mythbuster" and other assorted things. Take that offline please - just a request.

Prachanda will soon find how different politics in Katmandu is compared to guerilla warfare in jungles. Running a coalition is not something he finds palatable today, but sooner or later demands within his party will make him succumb to being part of one. That's when moderation will begin it's stead...
I wasn't able to wrestle my way into government, so it must be India's fault: Crybaby Prachanda CPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has claimed that "foreign reactionary forces" are acting behind the current political twist in Nepal politics, which could pose threat to na...
Prachanda has decided not to participate in the coalition that is forming. This can only mean one thing. He is not the type to sit around and sulk for not getting a majority. In all probability, he's going to get his ragtag militia forment more trouble. India didn't want to support the old monarchy ...
I'm unsure what is more hilarious - our Bangla friend's generalizations about Bengalis being this and that while forgetting that a good number of Indians are Bengalis too. Or Sanjay's ridiculous jeremiad asking for this chap to take ownership of things that occured at a time none of us were around. ...

While Shivji postulates the existence of the HISI Dhimmi, an extension could be made to accomodate the complement to this i.e. the Islamic Dhimmi. In Gujarat, we see a lot of muslim intellectuals who actually throw their weight behind the BJP. This includes the Bandukwala type. The BJP also has it's...
