Well - even if the ``calibre`` interactors have stayed back - your cheap epithets would have certainly made them leave.... On one hand - you complain about ``personal attacks, and just simply abuse`` ... and then you turn around and makes a hate speech against hinuds right in the next sentence....

As for the calibre interactors... I remember samirJB used to fight with urstruly regularly on islamic issue and I have never heard of the other guys.... so don`t blame me for their exit....

Anycsae - you have serious mental issues..... check into my clini ASAP.... you may still have a chance....

#156 Hate Pot

And by the same token, why should not the Indians turn around and try to do the same with the Pakistanis? The fault lines are quite as stark and perhaps much stronger than in case of India - regional/geographic divisions are a lot easier to demarcate than a population having a different religion from the mainstream but diffused all over.

And unlike the case of India (where this whole sorry pathetic attempt of ``divide and rule`` failed in case of Punjab and now appears to have failed in Jammu and Kashmir) this method has been found to actually work in Pakistan! So there is a concrete track record of its success there.

You see dear Hattie, because the real ingredient for its success - the only ingredient that counts - is that attitude of exclusivity - that some people are ``superior`` to others - that such people are exclusive.

That basic ingredient is in short supply in India (and getting shorter over time) but available in plenty in the land of the pure (and likely to remain so as long as hatemongers (bearded or otherwise) stick around).

The problem with your ``tried and true`` line of reasoning is that it has already been tried in India - many a times - and simply found to be a very weak technique with very little payoff.

But some individuals will never stop deluding themselves. And when they have the power (be it a military dictator or a civilian despot) they will always go back to square one.

Because they will never be held accountable.

“behn dhe phuddi hinduan di”

As if your sisters don’t have one. Right?

Thank you for elevating intellectual discussion level, Mr. sophisticated international banker from Pakistan.

Yes right. Tell Farzana. It will be a pity if you get up and leave too ... after all where are interactors of the calibre of agnostic, samirJB, roohiAD, what happened to them? They all left for good because they couldn`t respond in the same language as the hindoos ...

But I remain .... behn dhe phuddi hinduan di ... all these Arjun`s and Mohar`s and asswipes of their ilk ...

Dear Farzana ... please take notice of this ...

This is serious. Chowk is being sabotaged. A group of four ... just four interactors are pushing the entire community of genuine interactors out of the forums through their invective, personal attacks, and just simply abuse ... to the extent that the genuine people just think better to not waste their time and simply leave.

That`s not healthy. These few sabtageurs must be banned. Immediately. Forever. Plus any other nicks they may assume but they`ll be caught through many means available to Chowk.

Just look at the `member since` figures. How many interactors are here today from the initial halcyon days of the Chowk?

The Raison D`etre of Chowk laid out so clearly by Saima Shah in her ``Say Something, let`s talk` of 1997 has been abused for ulterior motives by a few. When she said ``I want to postulate and pontificate. I want to debate and tear your ideas to bits and have you pull mine to bits. I want to say what I want; and I want to hear what you have to say.``, she didn`t mean pontificating on the sexual mores of anyone`s mother ...

This detracts from any serious review of opinions, and loyal chowkies deserve better. Rather, Chowk owes it to those Chowkies who embraced it as their own and ensured its survival.

It`s upto you to decide who those four interactors are. I`m sure you know.

of late i have noticed that a lot of indians are walking around with swollen heads too big for their pugrees and some are getting a little too big for their dhotis


Hamidm2 being the typical P*ki - has forgotten conveniently how the P*ki state
has promoted bigotry against India and Hindus in textbooks and media for the
past 60 years, how the P*ki state has promoted terrorism and killed thousands,
how the P*ki system has created a whole industry for terrorism worldwide.

Now that India has managed these `thousand cuts` that he P*kis inflicted
and now that P*ki state has been shown to be the rotten state that it
really is - the P*kis get all upset.

hamidm2 - you are just regular old p*ki with a jihadi mindset.

``To me he is a sadist. He believes that Pakistanis have been comprehensively beaten by India in all aspects. A good winner would then let it go. But he is here, night and day, in season and out of season, humiliating the “defeated” lot. ``

the day Pakistanis stop acting as if it is in a state of constant war with India I am certain that the military-mullah alliance would cease to rule Pakistan and it would then automatically move away from Talibanism that seems to be gaining popularity amongst its gullible awaam.............but for that these educated elite has to change its mind set that perpetuates the propping up the fears of ``Indian domination`` and the feeling that Indians are somehow ``humiliating`` Pakistans..................

awww...poor pakis...looks at all these hateful Indians who make them do stuff..like blow up subways and stuff...If it wasn`t for these hateful Indians, pakis would be going through a renaissance..

the hateful Indians made the pakis support Islamic jihad and stuff..
the hateful Indians made the pakis support the taliban..
the hateful Indians made the pakis get involved with terrorism in Australia, England, Canada and the US..

those hateful Indians have the power to alter reality and make the pakis into something they`re really not...

Well, well - looks like pakis have declared a jihad arjun_m..... Even Hamidm has joined the melee......... soon we will have a whole group of pakis with placards marching down the street .... ``allah hu akbar... kill arjun_m ..... Arjun M, your day will come....``

What I don`t understand is - why don`t you guys just ignore the posts from arjun?.... if his posts ``inflames`` your delicate minds - just don`t read it.... shouldn`t that be the right thing to do then whine like fools..... if you are going to ban him for making his points strongly[ a little too strongly, I guess]..... what are you going to do with the likes of Behram for his schizophrenic ramblings?...or YLH for his obsession with gandhi, jinnah?....or Romair for being always wrong on everything[where is that guy?]..... are you going to ban them all?.....

you guys have already declared victory over arjun anway - so stop whining now.... :))).. let people say their pieces....
