That is exactly the aman ki asha ch***s are begging for IIT and other seats for the paki students. Once beta / beti has admission then how could we heartlessly deny mummy papa, nana nani a monthly visit to replenish the supply of biriyani?

And i always say that is misleading, because the very primary aim of the Gotra system is keeping immediate blood lines away in marriage. So no we do not marry within the same Gotra or similar Gotras. Paki's being inbreds and marrying sisters and first cousins bother less about Gotra and it does mean little as one does not need to keep bloodlines separated in marriage and so they focus more on the discriminatory and racist aspects between Gotras, which in India diminishes rapidly each day. But then the driving motive of Adharmics will be to impute and malign majority Indics and divide them in some manner.
Harbans if you are taught about shit but are not taught that you should not eat it, one could proudly start eating shit and claim superiority over non eaters of shit.
That is what Pakis have done with gotra. In our culture "gotra" is father's bloodline which must be avoided in marriage. Pakis who wanted to avoid being labelled as "casteist" know that gotra is father's blood line but they use Gotra==clan. When you marry within your gotra you may be a paki and a bhenchod, but you are marrying within your clan. So al iz wel.
Pakis use codewords like "gotra" and clan to pass off practices of caste system that they follow with great eagerness. They must be nailed on this one, the lying, thieving mofos!

Vikas my experience corresponds with this viewpoint but what galls me is how Packees have been allowed to hide behind Punjabi liberal culture and act as if they own it. Pakjabi culture is burqa and segregation of women and no dancing of women in front of men who are not their husbands or brothers, and no kite flying. They are Muslims after all. I think this needs to be brought out clearly every time a shitistani Pakjabi claims some Punjabi culture.

The Pakis, as everyone know, are a nation of bigots where the moderates are a tiny minority. But they have always been discrete about it which allowed them to milk Unkil, blame the Dirty Kafir Yehudi and Yindoo and bow to the Arabs at the same time. From time to time the true nature of Pakis would come out like when the killer of Taseer was showered with flowers by the "common" folk. Now what the Taliban have done is that the Pakis have had to answer for sure the "Either you are with us or not" question which goes against their ideology of running with the hares and hunting with the wolves which in turn translates into loss of H&D and the Imaan which fills their tank fuel pumps in times of war. The Ummah no longer will take Pakistan's word for it when they say that the Ummah will prevail and the green flag of Islam will rule the world. This again brings down the founding basis of Pakistan.
The Taliban have helped unmask the hypocrisy that Pakistan and Pakistanis are, the purdah has been lifted and behind it was a scared starving chest thumping Pakistani who hates to come out.

True. For Pakistanis, separating from India was a gift that was utilized to the hilt. When they wanted to show their culture and liberalism, they exposed their Punjabi culture and told the world "This is what Pakistan represents". When they needed to hide poverty, disease and the uncorrected unadulterated and unmodified caste practices that they perpetuated, the merely hid behind the story that either its all in India or its a "South Asia" problem but Pakistan is better because they are islamic.
And the most amazing thing to me is how a small elite controlling a vast poor rural population kept the latter hidden from view and showed off only themselves and their Pakjabi "moderate liberalism" and "fair skin" and imagined they they represented everyone in Pakistan.
Ultimately demography had to take its toll and Islam is working as predicted, killing anyone who steps out of line and revealing the hollowness of Paki "moderation" and "modernity".
That is the way it must be. We live in interesting, if unpredictable times. Pakistan has faced such crises before, but the army has invariably clamped down and made the rest of the world think that all iz vel in Shitistan. This time the army is on notice. Need to see which way the dice falls. Whichever way it falls as long as Pakistanis and their lies and their true bigotry is exposed, it will be better for the rest of us. May peace be upon us. We can do with some, even if some people can't get peace 1300 years after death and need to have people wishing for that elusive peace. I'm not surprised.

Djinnah was one big hypocrite. If you read his first speech to the constituent assembly, he starts out by lying. This is his speech.
Jinnah's presidential address. His first line: "I cordially thank you, with the utmost sincerity, for
the honour you have conferred upon me - the greatest honour that is possible to confer - by
electing me as your
first President"
Here's the fact:
In the Womb of Time. From this link:
When Lord Mountbatten, who himself was seeking joint Governor-Generalship of the two, new, independent dominions, attempted to explain to Mohammad Ali Jinnah that under the dominion constitution of Pakistan, real power would flow from the office of Prime Minister, Jinnah is reported to have said “In Pakistan, I will be the Governor-General, and the Prime Minister will do what I tell him.”
His actions as Governor-General lend credence to the view that he was willing to violate the constitution and constitutional conventions. Consider: In his controversial decision to select himself for the office of Governor-General, Jinnah disregarded the valuable Commonwealth constitutional convention that the post be filled by a non-political person.
In addition to assuming the office of the Governor-General, Jinnah also assumed the position of President of the Assembly and that of a Cabinet minister with multiple portfolioswhile retaining the presidency of the Muslim League.
So, anyone who calls Djinnah as the world's leading constitutionalist and leading democrat should better think again. That multi-tasking man was lying through his crooked, tobacco-stained teeth.

My guess is that it started when the brits started giving away lands and titles to the Musalmaans of Punjab in the mid 19th century.
All that I have seen suggests that around 1850-1900, the izlamic heartland in UP began exporting thier Urdu to Pakjabis. It was trickle, which became a big phenomenon later on. Post 1947 it is only increasing.
Interestingly, among the Punjabi Hindus around 1890's started a parallel movement, the Arya Samaj. The founder was adamant that Punjabi Hindus give up Punjabi language and worship in Hindi, read in Hindi, etc.

It pains me to say it, but large segments of Hindus have done so. Maybe it is not as large as the near universal abandonement in Paki Punjab, but it is substantial. While Punjabi as a language and culture is vibrant across all of India among non-punjabis, it is being abandoned by Punjabis. I do know that bhangra, the food, the swagger, the chaste punjabi abuses are coool. It is also a fact, that Punjabi is the most common language (apart from Hindi) for a song in Hindi films. But this popularity has not made Punjabis eager to ditch their language.
You can go Punjab and go to Hindu temples. Which language is the one used for prayers, communication, and for notices and signage on temple walls? Arya Samajis, one of the most popular movement amongs high-caste Punjabi Hindus, is explcitly anti-Punjabi. (English is OK, of course.)
You can go to Punjabi houselholds in punjab and outside and they would know Hindi better. I know a Punjabi couple near me. They know Punjabi, but prefer not to speak it. Once their kid spoke in Punjabi to his Naani on phone. Naani is in Punjab. Naani freaked out and berated daughter/son-in-law for teaching this language. These are people form the heart of Punjab. I had lunch with a colleage from the heart of Punjab. He informed me that he can understand Punjabi, but in their house they don't speak it.
I am not suggesting all Punjabi are such. Many older Punjabis speak it more out of lack of knowing Hindi, not out of pride or a connection.
Punjabi is a language will die among Punjabis soon. It vestiges will remain in pop-culture, though.
Sikhs are wedded to Punjabi language and is the language of worship. That will preserve it. Interestingly enough, Sikh Gurus never advocated Punjabi--vast majority of the Holy Granth is in Hindi & Braj. The Tenth master spoke & wrote exclusively in Bihari Braj and Hindi.

Sources said that Pakistani leadership had denied U.S demands when Mark Grasman had demanded condition less restoration of Nato supply from political and military leadership of Pakistan. Sources also claimed that Hilary Clinton has also canceled Pakistan’s visit which was expected in beginning of May. While Pakistan has declared drone attacks as illegal and demanded end to drones immediately that is affecting the war against terrorism.

Higher Education in India
200 new universities and 40 new high-level institutes. Nine additional IITs will also be established, bringing the total number of IITs to 16. This was stated by Indian human resource development minister Kapil Sibal in the Lok Sabha recently. A sum of Rs800 billion, the biggest-ever allocation, is being set aside in the 12th five-year-plan of India (2012-2017) to propel it into a strong knowledge-based economy. India has presently 17 percent of its youth between the ages of 17 of 23 enrolled in the higher education sector (as opposed to Pakistan’s 7.6 percent). It plans to increase this enrolment to 30 percent of the same age group by the year 2030 (Chetan Chauhan, The Hindustan Times, April 25). India decided to replace its University Grants Commission with a stronger federally funded organisation, National Commission of Higher Education and Research. This was approved by the Indian Cabinet in December 2011.
The recent steps taken by India are the result of a detailed presentation made to the Indian prime minister in July 2006 by Prof C N R Rao about the threat posed by the remarkable transformation underway in higher education in Pakistan.In an article entitled “Pak threat to Indian science,” Neha Mehta wrote: “Pakistan may soon join China in giving India serious competition in science.” (The Hindustan Times on July 23, 2006.) The progress made by the higher education sector in Pakistan in the last decade is reflected from the increase in enrolment from 276,000 students in 2003 to 803,000 in 2011, increase in number of universities and degree-awarding institutes from 59 in the year 2000 to 137 by 2011, and an increase in international research publications from only 636 in 2000 to 6,200 in 2011. The PhD output too underwent an explosive growth. During the 55-year period from 1947 to 2002, only 3,281 PhDs had been granted by all our universities (a shocking average of about 3-4 PhDs per university per year)! During the subsequent eight-year period from 2003 to 2010, this number was exceeded and 3,658 PhDs were granted. ( Mushy's Phd Scheme) There was maximum emphasis on quality, as all PhD theses were evaluated by at least two top experts in technologically advanced countries before approval.
The bold part(not that the rest of the article is gold) is as usual horse shit coming from a baki,
clicky for the article mentioned and you can see that the baki has used djinn tech while quoting Prof. C N Rao. The first line is from the author herself and Prof. C N Rao only says that
“Science is a lucrative profession in Pakistan. It has tripled the salaries of its scientists in the last few years.”. That's all he has said about the bakis and rest of the "sooper dooper baki education system" and "10000000000000 phd's produced by bakistan" is our tried and tested la(w)hore logic and madarasaa maths. To top that even the date given of the quoted article mentioned by the baki is wrong or may be the "scientists" in baki land have come up with some new calender which is 1 day ahead of rest of the world hence establishing baki superiority in scinence , take that joo dirty kaafirs.

Shiv Ji, there's more on Paki Caste system here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_syst ... an_Muslims
http://tribune.com.pk/story/357765/paki ... 20%20%204/
Excerpts:
Pakistani-American sociologist Ayesha Jalal writes, in her book, "Democracy and Authoritarianism in South Asia", that "Despite its egalitarian principles, Islam in South Asia historically has been unable to avoid the impact of class and caste inequalities. As for Hinduism, the hierarchical principles of the Brahmanical social order have always been contested from within Hindu society, suggesting that equality has been and continues to be both valued and practiced in Hinduism."[20]
Sections of the ulema (scholars of Islamic jurisprudence) provide religious legitimacy to caste with the help of the concept of kafa'a. A classical example of scholarly declaration of the Muslim caste system is the Fatawa-i Jahandari, written by the fourteenth century Turkish scholar, Ziauddin Barani, a member of the court of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, of the Tughlaq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. Barani was known for his intensely casteist views, and regarded the Ashraf Muslims as racially superior to the Ajlaf Muslims. He divided the Muslims into grades and sub-grades. In his scheme, all high positions and privileges were to be a monopoly of the high born Turks, not the Indian Muslims. Even in his interpretation of the Koranic verse "Indeed, the pious amongst you are most honored by Allah", he considered piety to be associated with noble birth. Barrani was specific in his recommendation that the "sons of Mohamed" [i.e. Ashrafs] "be given a higher social status than the low-born [i.e. Ajlaf].[8] His most significant contribution in the fatwa was his analysis of the castes with respect to Islam.[8] His assertion was that castes would be mandated through state laws or "Zawabi" and would carry precedence over Sharia law whenever they were in conflict.[8] In the Fatwa-i-Jahandari (advice XXI), he wrote about the "qualities of the high-born" as being "virtuous" and the "low-born" being the "custodian of vices". Every act which is "contaminated with meanness and based on ignominity, comes elegantly [from the Ajlaf]".[8] Barani had a clear disdain for the Ajlaf and strongly recommended that they be denied education, lest they usurp the Ashraf masters. He sought appropriate religious sanction to that effect.[4] Barrani also developed an elaborate system of promotion and demotion of Imperial officers ("Wazirs") that was primarily on the basis of their caste.[8]
Considering that so many of our Veda's Upanishads have been written by low castes, Gods incarnated in them, Guru's, Emperors, Rishi's belong to them...one cannot help but think how much of the discriminatory aspect of the Caste system is actually an import from the Islamist.

Strategic sectors will be off limits for Pak investment
TNN | May 7, 2012, 01.52AM IST
NEW DELHI: The government will maintain curbs on investment from Pakistan in strategic sectors such as defence, space and atomic energy while permitting foreign direct investment from across the border.
Officials told TOI that restrictions were being imposed after defence production secretary Shekhar Agarwal took up the issue with the department of industrial policy and promotion. "In any case, investment in these sectors is vetted or not allowed irrespective of the source of origin. So, we are not doing anything to block investment," said an official.
The industry department as well as the finance ministry have already sent the proposal to the Reserve Bank of India so that amendments to the Fema rules can be undertaken immediately.
The rules are also going to stipulate that each investment proposal from Pakistan will need to be approved by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board and will have to get a security clearance from the ministry of home affairs.
At present, Pakistan is the only country from which investment is barred after India dispensed with similar clauses for Sri Lanka in 2004 and for Bangladesh in 2007. However, investment from Bangladesh is yet to materialize so far.
The officials said it was only a matter of weeks before formal orders are issued, especially after commerce & industry minister Anand Sharma announced the government's decision last month. RBI has informed the government that it can issue the notification immediately but is unable to impose sectoral restrictions in it.
Another option for the government was to simply lift the ban on investment from Pakistan and leave it to FIPB to decide on it, although formally announcing it makes the entire process transparent.
Allowing investment from across the border is part of the joint initiative taken by India and Pakistan to improve trade ties. Although Islamabad is yet to fully grant most favoured nation status to India, the government has gone ahead and announced sops and is expected to announce preferential access for 30% products when the commerce secretaries meet in June.

Caste is the WRONG word. We dont have a CAste system in Pakistan - thats in India.
We have a 'zaat' or 'baradri' thing.In India Caste determines all aspects of society and you 'socail staus/standing'.In Pak, you wouldnt even know what your best mates 'zaat' would be - it isnt an issue, and it wouldnt be a factor in you making friends.Example: I met up with Kashif 2 weeks ago, and we mentioned 'zaat' - he mentioned his, and I mentioned mine. Now thats after a year of knowing him. In India, under the CASTE system - our Caste system would determine whether we were friends. If we were the 'wrong caste' - we wouldnt sit together on an equal social level.I dont know any of my mates 'zaats' - and thats in over 25 years of knowing them. Thats how differentiate 'zaat' and 'caste'
It's pretty bad in India for sure, especially it plays a huge role in marriages ( i don't know about choosing friends on the basis of caste though). I myself didn't know my caste untill i was 19 when i asked my dad just because my friends were talking about it otherwise it has never been an issue in my family and we hardly ever care.

Big difference between the two.
Before the world accuses Pakistan of hating India, they should realize that Pakistan is itself a victim of hating India and pressuring Pakistan to stop hating India will only strengthen the hands of extremists.
oh wait.....

^ and Pakistanis have lost nearly 40000 people in the war against hatred and have incurred costs to the tune of 100 billion dollars.The US should immediately reimburse these costs and apologise for the shalalalala incident. India should stop hating Pakistan and should stop building dams on Pakistani rivers including Paoli Dam's hate story

Pakis!! Typical response ("Islam has no caste"). Here's a conversation I had with a young paki banker in NY whose last name could have been a Hindu Khatri name. Anyway, in jest, I asked him if he knew his caste? Feigning ignorance, he asked me what caste meant? He said that in Islam caste was irrelevant. Then he promptly informed me that he had heard from dada (granddad) that they were originally Khatris (he called them Kshatris) and that his mom was also from a Kshatri family. All this while pretending to not know anything about "castes". Then, since he was a bachelor, I asked him what his parents in Lawhore would think if he married a pakistani christian. He said "What! Marry a chamaar? Never!". That was the end of our caste related discussion.

surinder wrote:It pains me to say it, but large segments of Hindus have done so. Maybe it is not as large as the near universal abandonement in Paki Punjab, but it is substantial. While Punjabi as a language and culture is vibrant across all of India among non-punjabis, it is being abandoned by Punjabis. I do know that bhangra, the food, the swagger, the chaste punjabi abuses are coool. It is also a fact, that Punjabi is the most common language (apart from Hindi) for a song in Hindi films. But this popularity has not made Punjabis eager to ditch their language.
You can go Punjab and go to Hindu temples. Which language is the one used for prayers, communication, and for notices and signage on temple walls? Arya Samajis, one of the most popular movement amongs high-caste Punjabi Hindus, is explcitly anti-Punjabi. (English is OK, of course.)
You can go to Punjabi houselholds in punjab and outside and they would know Hindi better. I know a Punjabi couple near me. They know Punjabi, but prefer not to speak it. Once their kid spoke in Punjabi to his Naani on phone. Naani is in Punjab. Naani freaked out and berated daughter/son-in-law for teaching this language. These are people form the heart of Punjab. I had lunch with a colleage from the heart of Punjab. He informed me that he can understand Punjabi, but in their house they don't speak it.
I am not suggesting all Punjabi are such. Many older Punjabis speak it more out of lack of knowing Hindi, not out of pride or a connection.
Punjabi is a language will die among Punjabis soon. It vestiges will remain in pop-culture, though.
Sikhs are wedded to Punjabi language and is the language of worship. That will preserve it. Interestingly enough, Sikh Gurus never advocated Punjabi--vast majority of the Holy Granth is in Hindi & Braj. The Tenth master spoke & wrote exclusively in Bihari Braj and Hindi.
Surinder ji:
My experience in Delhi during the 60's and 70's was very different.
Punjabi was widely spoken by the Punjabi Hindus who had settled in Delhi after coming in as refugees after partition, and since they dominated business in Delhi, it was the language of business in the business areas of Old Delhi. It may have got somewhat diluted since. I did not notice any inferiority complex towards Punjabi language among the Hindu Punjabis of Delhi. They spoke it proudly at home.
Of course the richer ones may have moved towards English with the newer generation (as all affluent classes have done all over India), and with the influx from the Hindi-speaking states, Hindi may be more widely spoken in Delhi today, but I have yet to see a Punjabi Hindu family that have substituted Hindi for Punjabi at home. Most of the substitution of Punjabi has been with English. But then, my sample size of Punjabi Hindus is very small, so it may not be representative.
As for the Hindu prayers, a lot of them originated in Sanskrit, and so the widely disseminated ones have been in Sanskrit or Hindi.
As for the death of regional languages, I have a similar lament. My own language, Marwari, is dying out because its speakers are ashamed to speak it. Among urban Marwari households, if a young person speaks Marwari, he/ she is considered a 'Ganwaar'. People speak Hindi at home or, increasingly, English. Even in Rajasthan, people in the cities are running away from the Rajasthani/ Marwari languages.
In this respect, I admire the Gujaratis. They show a rare pride in their language. They speak it proudly at home and outside, in the rural and urban areas of Gujarat, and even in the US/ UK.

Considering that so many of our Veda's Upanishads have been written by low castes, Gods incarnated in them, Guru's, Emperors, Rishi's belong to them...one cannot help but think how much of the discriminatory aspect of the Caste system is actually an import from the Islamist.
harbans this is a perceptive statement and I will go OT if I dwell on it. Maybe some other thread.
There are two things that i see here
1. How the current "structure" of the "caste" system was frozen in time by British sociological studies that made it look as though the structures they saw were eternal and unchanging
2. How to test if this really was the case and communicate it to a larger audience by suitable studies so that the artificial "knowledge" is wiped clean in favour of the truth.
Will stop here because it is OT.

I am certain it will shoot up by another 100 million if they actually count the lower castes stuck in Paki estates of the wealthy.

You deserve a pisko-medal for this. Pakis are all like this and this needs to be exposed, laid open and revealed to the world.

So delighted to see some of my fond dialects mentioned. Punjabi, Marwari [Kakka ji? why didnt you reveal earlier! sorry, you might have had, I missed. You dont happen to use Mewari, do you?], Bihari Braj [it is still spoken]. I am referring to them as dialects without any disrespect intended - because all are derived from regional Praakrit, with Sanskritic base or modification.
I believe, that the road to a counter is revival of study and practice of a commonality - that lies in Praakrit even if Sanskrit carries too much baggage with political connotations. Look at how the Irish have brought back Gaelic. Even though its still a struggle.
Also isn't Marwari [with some differences] spoken across the border in parts of Sindh?
