Paindoo Manmohan would say ``giant`` instead of ``joint``, so much for Indians speaking English. Ugly Indians who have come to the US by way of REC colleges are professionally useless. They have been brought here just to provide some international remittances to the discrepit Indian government.
REC is just like McDonalds in Indian Educational System. Too much fat is placed in their students, and then they consider themmselves as world class.
And the paindoo Manmohan was referring to the entrepreneural spirit of Indians. Now that must be news to our Bipolar Factoid Junkie, who thinks that hindoos have no entrepreneural spirit, and that only Pakistanis are enterprising people. O! yes, cab drivers. I wonder what those who are related to Paidoo Manmohan are doing in the west, besides getting shot for being mistakenly taken as a muslim fundamentalist.
Here goes another example of how stupid the gau mata society of Hindooland is. Only the MNC can promote and put extra makeup on this pig called India.

``But what about Science in Pakistan.....????? ``

Bush Visits Bin Laden Country
President Bush and Osama bin Laden are visiting the same country this week.
The President will spend much of his week in Pakistan and India, and the President insists that there is equivalence between the two countries. ``These nations are undergoing great changes,`` Bush said recently, ``and those changes are being felt all across the world.``
Well, India is undergoing great changes. Pakistan, on the other hand, is one of the world`s primary breeding grounds for terrorism. If ever there were an unreliable partner, one who says one thing and does another, it is Pakistan.

You could be right. Yes it was based on her name. I must find out or parade more Malayalees for Behram to flay. This one was the easiest to name. I could of course include people like Shashi Tharoor and even the maligned V K Krishna Menon and Nithi Ravindran , Prof M G K Menon and many more who could speak English with remarkable felicity. But what about Science in Pakistan.....?????

Not bad for a paindoo
Washington Post link
The Italian premier speaks before a joint meeting of Congress on Wednesday, then heads to New York City to receive an award for promoting freedom and democracy.
Speaking before Congress is an honor the United States accords to close allies. Others who have addressed joint meetings during Bush`s presidency include Prime Minister Tony Blair of Britain and Manmohan Singh of India and Afghanistan`s president, Hamid Karzai.

The new MNC`s mantra has been the largest democracy tying its marital vows with the oldest democracy. Democracy by its basic essence means that those who can not be protected should and must be protected. Remember the hoopla in 2000 with some voters rights in Florida. Now that is what democracy does do for the commonner. In India`s case that is essetially missing. With 250 million dalites, this is conceiveably 25% of Indians without any representation. Now propagandists in the west could keep on harping that India is a democracy. True? Is it really?
Then, Charlie Rose was trying to touch on demographics of India with the PM, and he barely touched on the widow burning practice, and bride burning, and squatting on railroad tracks, sleeping on the roads, etc., etc., that is daily routine in India. Also, Manmohan did acknowledge that the political liberty is yet to be desired. So, in a nut shell India has not moved forward, except for its marketing ploy that is so desirable to woo the MNCs executives, who have to answer its shareholders, and not the population.
Hope gives you some clarification. And that is why I think that there is a big divergence between the wishes of the MNCs and the people of the west, which the politicians have to eventually answer.

``It just appears that the MNCs are in overdrive to suck up to India without any hard hitting question, such as the massacre of Christians in Assam, or the treatment of 250 million dalits. ``
you made an astute observation (and we know you are very observant of bowel-movements). remember imperial japan, with a rigid caste system, untouchables and all, inhuman fascist behavior to neighbors (even their own such as the okinawans), mysoginist society and so on. noone brings this up any longer, so much so that most dont even know about it. an interview of indian PM without questions on suttee and wandering cows?
but what has this to do with pakistani education system?
also behramji, can you please honor us by coming to the unplugged section?

Padmasree Warrior is from Vijayawada, AP.She did her bachelors in IIT Delhi and married a guy from Kerala. I am not sure if she is a Keralite living in Vijayawada. Are you guessing by her name?

Last night, I saw Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh`s interview with Charlie Rose, and came away satisfied that he is not in the same league with our Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz. PM Singh`s English is just like a paindoo...For ``joint`` he was saying ``giant``...But what can one exxpect from the Paindoo English Schools of India. Further, he was treated with velvet gloves by Charlie Rose. It just appears that the MNCs are in overdrive to suck up to India without any hard hitting question, such as the massacre of Christians in Assam, or the treatment of 250 million dalits.
And Manmohan was really sucking up the American sugar canes.

The only reason that you should have printed my letter on Maher Ali`s piece is that he left the impression with his reader`s that somehow Mr. Harry Whittington was a corruptible person, which he is not. Well, enough said on this particular issue.
Rest assured, I will be watching your paper`s work rather closely and enlighten you as we go along.
These days we have bigger fish to fry, and that is where your paper should be concentrating on. Why is it not in the interest of US to continue its tilt towards India? For God`s sake when will you newspaper guys of Pakistan become forward looking opinion makers? The world is moving forward at the speed of light, and you guys have no vision as to why the US is heading towards isolationist policy.
