Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - July 07, 2009

A question: how much time did Jinnah spend in jail for fighting the British for an independent India?
None.
He spent all his time fighting the Bania Hindus to create the land of the pure.

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan - July 07, 2009

Is it possible that by making it a Jinnah-Nehru spat, it becomes difficult for Congress to balance the two.
Looks unlikely. Congress has never tried to show any love for the Quaid-e-Azam.
OTOH, it can be used by the Congress to get back at the party with a difference.

Re: India-China News and Discussions

India no match for China, says Navy chief It is rare for service chiefs in India to articulate their concerns loudly. The government disapproves of it. But when a chief makes such a prophesy, he has to be taken seriously. I do not remember people at such high levels speaking (their minds?) so openly.
