Bulleya,

What is the reference of this article being Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V here. It is clowns like you about whom this saying was formulated ``The Eunuch was proud of his bothers Penis``.

The day Indira Nooyi gives say 10% of that 10 million dollar paycheck to a nationalist charity like the National Defence Fund, Child Relief and You, Eklavya Bal Ashram then thump your chest (or breast) and say ``You can take the girl out of India but not India out of the girl``

Re: # 14

I never crosed your path but I must remind that you carry this Sanatani name and speak the language of Pakistanis? Like Pakistanis do you also read from right to left? Tipu is the no.1 patriot. Have you ever visited Srirangapatnam?

Modern drainage system, introduction modern armaments and the famous mechanical tiger clutching the throat of Englishman, have you ever seen or read about Tipu?

Better we create an independent country of fool`s paradise within India and send guys like you there. Modi can rule you guys in that country there.

Shed some poison.... or atleast change your name before you celabrate India`s Independence day.

Re: # 15, VRV:

I agree with you a hundred percent. Tipu Sultan can only be compared to Akbar and stands at the same level. Too bad the British did him in by their superior military techniques and equipment.

I am confident the senselessness and virulence of Sanatani, no matter who he/she is not shared by many.

Let us have a toast for Abroo, Salim and malaymishra123!!!

Re: # 17

Don`t get carried away too much in your comparison! Akbar was the Emperor of Mughal India whereas Tipu was not. No doubt , He was a great patriot, tolerant king etc.

He lost his life not because of any superior military techniques of the Bitish but betrayal by other Indians rulers- Maharattas and Nizam who joined the English. It was only a matter of time. Maharattas were finished for all time at the battle of Assaye and Hyderabad came under British rule too. This behaviour was no diffrent. Remember 1000 yrs ago when Prthvi Raj was abandoned by other fellow Rajputs!.

BTW. Tipu Sultan had rocket troops . They used rockets made of bamboo filled with gun powder . it created havoc among among horses and lots of panic. ( Sometimes they posed danger to the very person who fired it as they exploded prematurely !) These were taken to G. Britain and examined and better versions were produced made of iron tubes. These were later used in the bombardment of Copenhagen. Some models can be seen even today in the museums in Britain today.

Re: # 15

VRV,

It is extremely likely that the individual is actually Pakistani. From that perspective, and if you read the individual`s messages carefully and in general, the individual is not only humorous but has a point.

Re: # 16

Wow all you brainwashed secularists are calling me a Paki. In a very long sense this is true my family came over from West Panjab of undivided India and what is now known as Pakistan and in Kashi, Prayag, Hardwar, Matan, Nasik or Ujjain I give the name of my native place in Pakland alongwith my surname to locate my kul pandit.

So let all you ignoramuses have a look at the following before replying http://bharatvani.org/books/tipu/. If tipu was a patriot then Jinnah and Maudoodi were bigger.

And of course Akbars massacres in Chittor and Gondwana of Hapless Hindus (Oops not Hindus Rajputs, Bhils and Gonds) were mere trifles I mean if other massacred Hindus by the millions akbar did only by hundred of thousands so you are right he was great.

For 1200 years we fought the Muslims but could not find an intellectual answer to one question ``Why do they keep on coming back and fight like this (wholesale masscares poisosning water bodies burning fileds abducting and raping women) even when we forgive them after defeat``, but at least then wee had the backbone to fight. Thanks to clowns like you we will los the fight even without an arrow being fired as the enemy today is within and we refuse to even acknowledge it much less confront it.

God rot you all

No Regards
Sanatani

P.S. In many ways the Pakis at least are clear Kashmir is Jihad, it is about Isam and about the head waters it is simply fools like you who refuse to acknowledge the same, instead Iddiots like you start arguing about Baluchistan, Shia Sunni, Ahmadiya, Biharis, East Pak, hudood, al qaeda, democracy and Indira Nooyi. Whoever said they want kashmir for any of this they want it for the glory of Allah. Islam is about escaping hellfire and getting into jannat not creating jannat on earth.

On another note the Great leader of Pak was jinnah and of India (also Jinnah but we do not recognise him as such) so the acknowledged leaders were Gandhi, Patel, Bose & Nehru. The difference between the intellectual honesties of these is evident in this board. For all their faults at least the Pakis say it on your face, you cannot face the J word so these useless banalities.

As an Israeli told me (An Ashenkazi Jew white European) ``I love you for the way you looked after my people, but have contempt for you beyond belief for your dhimmitude. I mean you are worse than guttersnipes and cockroaches the only race of people where a muslim minority 5th column and 2 Muslim majority enemy nations do not have to even indulge in Takiyah (the Islamic art of decption) to decieve you, as you are willing to do the same for yourself``.

Now I see why the Mozz overran us and will do so again in my lifetime this time permanently.

Re: # 23

Dear Sanatani,

I have gone thru` the booklink you gave. I found some new things which I need to cros-check from other sources, without which I can not make a final comment on your points on Tipu. The contents of the book and the language and presentation denote a pattern of a version contrary to a normal historical book. So, I am a bit sceptical but I would read the book and follow it up with further reading (of other books on Tipu).

As for Jinnah, he underwent a transformation from an unalloyed nationalist to a crude communal beast. Why he underwent or what caused such transformation is still under my study. I found 3-4 specific phases in his life. I dont like to go in-detail becoz I am still studying him.

Pl enjoy in Heaven and enjoy your time with Rambha, Urvasi, Menaka and Tilottama.. till then I will rot in hell.

By the bye, please buy some Viagra to enjoy the girls in heaven (T-I-C:))

Mr. Mishra,
I fail to see what in my post #4 led you to believe that I am being jingoistic. I agree with your viewpoint about the benefits of Indo-Pak friendship. Please consider my well-documented record about this necessary aspect of our relations. I have gone so far as to advocate reunification. My point about hostility toward Pakistan is something I noticed, and as you can see from my post, I am hopeful about its erosion in the future. The acceptance of Muslims was a point that I was clearly making in my post #4. I am glad that we can remove any misunderstanding. Thanks.

MR Salim Chauhan
it is sad to see that even though u sound like a modern man with a positive outlook you are still led to believe things by your country that u shud have noticed otherwise.

99% of the INDIANS dont care if ur a muslim or not.If u say some1 ur a muslim he will look at you in the same light as he would a Hindu. As u might have read somewhere that we have a considerable number of muslims in our great country. Please in the name of God donot believe what u hear in your country, as it is plain BS. My best friend is also a muslim. Yes, though upon hearing that u are a Pakistani, the people will be hostile to you.I can honestly say that i myself shall be less hospitable towards you on hearing that u are a pakistani BUT bear in mind that the hostility is towards your country, not at you personally and certainly, CERTAINLY not because of your religion.

And please to clarify further if this discussion turns into a `oh my god the Indians still cannot let go of the fact that pakistan exists`, Indians, GENERALLY hate pakistan not because of the fact that it exists but because of the policies that it has pursued.That it built itsxelf upon Anti-India sentiments and it has always tried to destroy India. Because of the terrorism it outsources to India, because it tries to compete with india and spreads lies about us.If the Pakistani political establishment had half a mind they would realise the benifit of having friendship with India, such benifits cannot be realised with any other country.It is their loss and not ours, we are still going towards a bright future whereas they will remain in their state of pettiness and backwardness.

Abroo,
Thank you for sharing your unique experience. As an avid traveler, I feel even more inspired to one day visit South India. My own experiences of traveling all over north and central India have been very satisfiying and, as a result, I have developed a very pro-Indian outlook - especially when it comes to people to people contact. I have found most Indians to be genuinely hospitable, friendly, and accepting of my Muslim identity. Only when discussing Pakistan do I detect any amount of hostility and even that, hopefully, is eroding rapidly as the cross-border tourism accelerates. Very interesting and balanced article. Thanks.

A good one.

A real assessment of India though a biased one--in favour of India.

A person who has lived mostly in the United States was not overhelmed by India`s huge mass of humanity, starking poverty etc. is noticeable.

Abroo:

It was a great pleasure to read your wonderful article. Strictly speaking at the age of 60, you could not have been born in Pakistan. I am sure you inherited the culture of Sarhadi Gandhi - Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan.

Your positive attitude towards India is a valuable asset for both countries, even though you have lived most of your life around Virginia where I also spent first ten years graduating in nuclear engineering.

You went to India just like an Indian might have after staying the long duration outside the country. I can vouch for your relevance, authenticity and astuteness, in making the observations. I had the pleasure of going to Bangalore three years ago and felt exactly as you described upon entering the Electronic City.

Your observation about the stark contrast between technological and industrial India and the traditional India the management of them by the India`s social, technical and industrial leaders is absolutely on the mark. Truly, if the management is carried out correctly and in the national spirit India will take off from the key threshold where it stands now.

It was so commendable and consistent with your general attitudes, as I judge, that you went to ISKCON temple and remarked the mosques and temples often share the walls in India. Even though you have the benefit of stance away from the hurly-burly of India-Pakistan hothouse, we need more Indians as well as Pakistanis like you.

Please do not be discouraged with the trivial and trite remarks like that of Kamath, no matter whether they originate from Indians or Pakistanis. He picked at one of the most peripheral aspect and completely misjudged the real significance of your statement inspite of his praise for the Srirangpatnam. Though I would agree with him that Sriranpatnam is a place must seeing. And before there is any misunderstanding, I am an Indian Hindu. I bet there is good chance that if the ISKCONIs had known you are a Muslim they would have expressed their admiration. And further, I wish I could say that Sanatani Hindus would also do the same!

I wish your company interacts with the outsourcing centers in India and you get more chance to visit India with your family. Best of luck!

Um, you say,``...before he could discover my real identity – a Muslim in the guise of a selfish, uppity Hindu...

I think this is a little BS!

In Hindoostan, one can not differentiate between Hindoo or Mussalman by just looks or dress at all. unless the latter wears a 12`` long thick ugly beard and a skull cap.

Anyway, you missed visiting Srirangapatam the former capital of Tipu Sultan. He was one of the great South Indian rulers who fought for the country and waged formidable battles against the English. He was killed in 1799 in the battle of SriRangapatam against the alliance formed by English, Maharattas and Nawab of Hyderabad. One must stand in front of his grave and bow in silence for a minute, for he was quite an extraordinary patriot.

His summer palace etc are well maintained.
