Bush gave Israel amber light to attack Eyeran US President George W. Bush has given Israel the "amber light" to carry out an attack on Iran if diplomatic efforts are unsuccessful in causing the Islamic Republic to back down and relinquish its nuclear program, according to a senior Pentago...

Apologies if I'm being naive but with our so called fizzle-bums aren't we considered a n-state? So if those bums have been made and put in place, and assuming this deal stops us from *any* further testing, development etc. how can "the feared tormentor" take away even the fizzle that we ha...

But they aren't saying anything that he isn't, are they? they are just adding weight to their 'decisionmaking'. I found it amusing that Mayawati found a way to communalise even this issue. Our politicians are geniuses. Is there a plan to put a muslim as a puppet PM. Is that supposed to be a questio...

Since Congress and SP are trying to use Dr. Kalam's good name, the communists may be tempted to malign him. Since communists played a major role in not getting him nominated for the second presidential term, they can claim that Dr. Kalam is peeved at them. But they aren't saying anything that he is...

37 AP police personel missing and feared dead in Maoist attack on police patrol boat near AP/Orissa border. Reports of mortar and machine gun fire which crippled the boat. Police personnel trying to swim away were chased in boats and shot :( Mortars and machine guns, and then downright systematic e...

4 Marines die in Afghanistan; 870 inmates escape:AP
Big success for the tall bunnies I guess.

I wonder what will be the range (in km) of the e-bikes. Definitely good daily home-work-grocery type of thing for many. Will dent the gasoline two wheelers market unless they are pretty bad.

If it helps, I remember reading those in the Indian Nuclear News and Discussion thread, page 6.

Gurus, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a sticky post in some of the threads in the Military forum for newbies wanting to learn the nitty gritty of the mil tech. They could include for example, some explanation of acronyms (like, what is A2A? air to air?), and some links for say a ...

For instance, the 4-step Paki Detection Algorithm (I have not heard any complaint of an incident of wrong IFF there) was developed with such care, and is completely useless unless there are Pakis to detect. But obviously Pakis were not the only ppl "we" drove away so successfully. :D Was ...

How low can an Islamic society go? This is not one crazy mentally sick criminal, this is a religious ideology guiding people to rape and murder. Religion of peace! I killed her with a machine gun "How many girls did you kill and rape?" the soldier asks. "I raped one, sir," the ma...

Coming back to the 2006 war, I never heard about those abducted Israeli soldiers, were they freed?

Pete, I just want to point out that though the Indian Left played a big role in blocking the N-deal, it was not as if there was/is a consensus in India in favor of the deal. If the deal was so good and had support from a majority of people, the left would have not been able to block it. India, as of...

We have too many states! Time to wield the stick and make like four zones and shut the politicians up.

shiv wrote:Hindus are a huge force if you can make them follow you. The problem lies in doing that.

Maybe I am ignorant, but have honest been made (on a large scale) for the same?

Islamists would never say that. :P What I meant was if a third party says that, or if some Hindus say that "why bother complaining? lets just go ahead and take what was ours, forcibly. To hell with the process. Why do you worry about being on the correct path? whom are you trying to please?&quo...

Shiv, you propose a political approach: that of taking away the opponent's own weapon and using it without giving them a chance to do so. So if Hindus complain about the injustice met out to them and show the mosque over the temple as a proof, someone may come out and say "well, it is your coun...

JCage, Sanku, I am sorry, you are right I am wrong. I cannot see it.

JCage, maybe you are right. I am open to your viewpoint. Yeah sure. By the same standards, then all acts of omission and commission get a whitewash even when they impact what people today feel and perceive. This splitting hairs and parsing statements wont work. Those folks who broke down the structu...

Even if there was a temple in Babur's time, India was politically not what it is now, and is culturally different in many ways than it was then. The Indian Constitution as we see and revere today - was not there. Now demolishing a religious place in a secular nation (or attempting to be secular) nat...

Why hide behind the fact that we have been ruled by pseudo-seculars and communists. Who votes them there? The 80% Hindus are unable to vote in a government that will do it. How about asking the question how the Hindus lost to the Muslims? How and why the sword and sufi worked to convert so many? Ho...

^^ Those are words of gold. My regards to whoever wrote them. I love how beautifully he defined 'Hindu' - something I have been feeling but never could express correctly. So not being religious does not automatically make someone not-Hindu....and not calling oneself Hindu (as in the so-called relig...

I do not mean to attack you or anyone else but this is what I get from the ongoing discussion on Gujarat. 1) it was a step backwards for the Muslim integration into the mainstream India. BUT it was also a step backward for the Hindu population in the acceptance of Muslims as trusted partners in deve...

In any case, we can never satisfactorily pass these "loyalty" tests. :) Aisa nahi hai bhai.. Like Shiv said, the people who post here are a tiny fraction of the total Indian non-Muslim population. I know some have come down hard on you but things will cool down I believe. As for loyalty, ...

I think thins are on the right path. But Gujarat is a huge step backward. And a lot of people in this forum are erring on that issue, IMO. Err. Pardon me if i am incorrect. But, did hindus without provocation cause "gujarat." I am surprised that none of the indians here challenged you on ...

Ah, I see that the Indianmuslims.in blog people only publish those comments that they feel comfortable with. They 'censored' my comments to carefully cut out the part on Godhara even though the lady herself brought it up in her story. Now I did not use inappropriate language or make allegations. Nic...

This forum, including this thread is not presenting the true picture of Muslim in India. A lot of good things are happening and everyone here seem so be mainly focusing on the bad stuff. Actually the absence of Indian Muslim posters has been discussed here before. I can see why a Muslim would find ...

Of course, we Hindus keep track of you all, just in case we need a target in case there is a riot. Oh you poor victims! Sarcasm. Fine. But on this one, she's right. There are many Muslims who are innocent and are genuinely afraid. Many Muslims were killed using voters lists. Are you denying that? N...

Now playing victim and churning out sentimental stories is not a new tactic....but it still makes my heart feel warm and fuzzy to learn that I belong to a community of victimizers who would ask a Muslim the moment I see one - "Are you a mohemmaden?" Taare Zameen Par And Stereotyping Muslim...

I liked the discussion on the indisnmuslims blog where Shiv posted some insightful stuff. Mr. Kaleem seems to have responded well to it and has rightfully accepted that his article was lacking the important bit about introspection among the Muslim community itself. The discussion has largely been co...

A quick 'n' dirty attempt:

Even wars don't solve issues anymore. Even if one country/population is defeated hands down, their struggle continues for decades. Think Tibet, Balochistan etc. Even the made-up freedom struggles never end even if one party has defeated the other over and over again (Kashmir). International politics...
