Also, a big fat shame on the NRI's here, myself included. In the state I live in saw a billboard advertisement against India on Kashmir, right on the main highway. NRI's please double up the effort to shut the Pakis out, on SM, MSM, with money and our numbers.

My reference to China/Uighurs was in response to a post by ShauryaT who brought in the analogy. The CGI did not make any refence to China, and maybe I should edit my (twice-edited) post to avoid this confusion. Forget China. Kashmiri Hindus underwent a genocide in a democratic India, the shame of t...

Politically incorrect it maybe, but he said the right thing. A demographic change is the right solution here and the only workable one. Not just Israel, China has done the same to Xinjiang and Tibet. Definitely better than what the Europeans did in the Americas. In our case, we would be taking contr...

Running after endless desires is not good, because it will ensue only conflict. Because there are not enough resources on earth to satisfy each and every desire of all the humans.
