#160 behram: i see you are beating a dead mule...er...i mean, responding to masadi`s rubbish. as for kamath sahib - this ``concern`` is simply another example of this ``holier than thou`` role that too many indians love to play.

kamath: coming from a country where mobs actually burn minorities while the police look on - and where the chief ghoonda behind those killings is relected as chief minister or something and treated as a party big wig by BJP - you are hardly in a position to talk ``dear boy, please be careful since you are in Pakistan``.

tahmed32,

I see you have avoided answering #235 in response to your #142 on the other board.

Never mind. Can you just kindly answer this?

Do you support the TNT for Kashmir but not for Pakistan?

Or you can go back and answer the whole thing. Your choice.

zeemax #162 which board is this?? i havent been reading much on the FP lately and therefore probably didnt read your post.

And I assume this TNT question is something being discussed below - and am not sure why you want my views (for what they are worth) on it. As for Kashmir - what I support is an end to the violence and accepting of the ground reality of the LoC. Since regardless of what you or I or anyone else thinks, India isnt going to hand over Kashmir to Pakistan and Pakistan doesnt have the means to take it by force. And I am not interested in beating this dead horse of kashmir any further.

You accidentally left out the part about a trainload of Hindu men, women and children burnt alive first.

But then, you`re an Islamist. And no amount of arguments is going to change the Islamist trait for lying through your teeth so suit the Islamist agenda.

Behram baba #145
There are 4 phases associates with a failure or setback. Denial, anger, acceptance, and healing.

You are still in a denial stage. We parsis are good businessmen so it doesn`t matter that we are constitutionally denied top positions in civil or military. You were ok when you were consitutionally made second class citizen of Pakistan. You are ok when you have to declare your religion on your passports. You will still have a rationale when they will ask you to wear a yellow marker or a star of David. Here is a revelation for you. In india you can run your business, and also do whatever you want. You can really aim for top most position and have a realistic hope of meeting yuor goal.


PS: You have some unhealthy interest in people squating near railway lines. Is it due to the increasing feminity, decreasing masculinity and increasing impotency in Parsis? Another revelation for you. India is soon removing homosexuality from the list of offenses. You can come out.

Perhaps because his house is very close to Missouri Pacific (Mopac) Railroad tracks in
Austin?

Re: # 165

Buddhonjee Effonjee is a II clas citizen of an emasculated republic. Was he considerate our rail sqautters or sarcastic? He`s former, I think. Let him keep his homilies to himself and be the II class citizen there. They are not a martial race when they were effed by the maruading Arabs.

Btw, his engineering degree from pureland is equal to a piece of toilet tissue in India. He wont get any job of consideration here.

Tatas, Godrejs and many more top-class Parsi industrialits are not onesie or twosies, u stupid. That was the shining example our open society where becoming rich depends on one`s vision and hard work. Nobody stops them.

We dont manufacture rich people by pushing them to the top. If somebody lies behind, there are Minority Finance corporations funded by the Govt of India. If some backward, lethargic group doesnt make use of even such inducements, it`s not our fault. U mothered respectfullysubmitted skunk.

speaking of parsis..

TCS Q2 profit up 50% at Rs 931 crore

Information technology major Tata Consultancy Services` net profit for second quarter jumps 50.13 per cent to Rs 931.32 crore (Rs 9.312 billion), against Rs 620.32 crore (Rs 6.203 billion) a year ago.

#164 Thanks for pointing out what I forgot - that there are even individuals like you on chowk who self-righteously justify the gujrat killings.

That merely puts you at best at the same level as those who burnt the Godhra train. That is, at the level of killers. But certainly not at the high moral pedestal that kamath was trying to sit on.

Re: # 168

Arjun,

U know Tats are going to acquire Corus steel, whihc wud make them competitors to MIttal Steel. Tha means the first 2 competitors for primary core sector in the world are Indians.

>>>Tata Steel may come up with a $2 billion bond offer to part-finance the acquisition of Anglo-Dutch Corus Group if it manages to clinch the deal.

Sources close to the development said the country`s second-largest steel maker would have to keep a war chest of $8-9 billion ready to fund the Corus takeover. British laws demand an open offer to all Corus shareholders if the Tata group`s holding in the company goes beyond 30 per cent.>>>

They are already an Indian MNC. They own Tetley Tea in UK now. They are on buying out spree....... and Rata tells Star News that they want to see the India flag flying high in the world.......doesnt it give u goosepimples? Btw, Ratan is not a II class citizen of India.

Ajim Premji funds primary education in Karnataka. How great was his vision to spends money for primary education?

Buddhonjee Effonjee sees PTV and get ejaculation seeing poor rail aquatters in India. In fact these creepers are poorer than those rail sqautters. What is his education that makes him an animal?

(Btw, thanks for posting that Somalia`s Moallim photo on UP).

All the ugly black and smelley hindoo termites are out in force once again. Some consider giving advice when none is required. What is with the stammering hindoo class of mumbai? They have massacred minorities, and continue to do so, and yet hindoos have the audacity to stand in front of humanity and show of their Ghanpatti, or is it that minkey that their pray towards. Even the Economist magazine has suggested that not more than 10% of their engineering graduates are world class. No wonder we see hindoo suckers schmoozing for employment, and yes there is always a need of jamaadaars in corporate america.

BTW, Jamaadars is a Parsee last name, and is definitely given to those from India who had nothing else to do but clean toilets at Dadar. O! These mumbayites have no indoor plumbing, and in Karachi we always had indoor plumbing.

No wonder hindoo scums are squatting on the railroad tracks.

Buddhonjee Effonjee can answer. I thought he`s a termite swimming in the sewage of Karachi.

Who`s massacred minorities, skunk of forsaken Persia? Abstractions are meaningless u mothered respectfullysubmitted Effonjee. Who`s a believer who`s a non-believer deosnt mean anything u dimwit skunk Effonjee of forsaken Persia.

Going by ur brain power & arguments ur degree is equal a toiletpaper in Bombay.

Jamaadars? Skunk of Persia? NASA had many Indian scientists and engineers; WB/IMF had them; McKinsey had them. All of Fortune 500 companies had them. Go to any foreign University, u find Indian professors, whereas u find Pakistani students only, u mothered respectfullysubmitted idiot and the II class citizen-cum-toilet cleaner of Kaarchi. Btw, u are good at cleaning the poo of Pakistanis since it smell good to ur mothered nostrils as if the city of lights floating is not enough.

U guys (Pak Parsees) cant produce more since u are terminally ill or u too were casrtated by Pakistanis. Since u cant produce more, the sewage in Karachi is piling up. Need Indian Parsees to cleanup the poo of ur favourite people?

>>>Remarks by The Honorable Michael Griffin NASA Administrator Indian Space Research Organization-NASA MOU Signing Ceremony Bangalore, India May 9, 2006 Chairman Nair (G. Madhavan Nair, Chairman Indian Space Research Organization), Dr. Shankara (K.N. Shankara, Director Indian Space Research Organization Satellite Centre)

Distinguished guests, ladies, and gentlemen. Thank you very much for your warm welcome and your tremendous hospitality. Namaste. I am honored to be your guest today, as we forge an important partnership to advance the exploration of the moon. A generation ago, perhaps many of India’s outstanding scientists and engineers were inspired to pursue their technical careers as they witnessed the first great era of lunar exploration.

It is fitting for our purposes today to note that 35 years ago this summer, during the Apollo 15 mission to Hadley Rille beneath the moon’s towering Apennine mountains, among the special items our astronauts carried with them was the national flag of India. This was not the first time that the flag of your relatively young nation had been associated with the spirit of exploration, as 53 years ago India’s national banner was hoisted on the summit of Mt. Everest, upon the conquest of Earth’s tallest peak. Today, the Indian people deserve to be tremendously proud that the next time the Indian flag travels to the moon it will be placed on a very impressive scientific spacecraft Chandrayaan-1. The mission you will conduct some 40 years after humans saw the moon up close for the first time, will greatly advance our understanding of our closest neighbor in space, and represents a very impressive technical achievement. NASA is honored to be a participant on this mission.

The two year mission of Chandrayaan-1 to map the lunar surface and investigate its surface properties will advance knowledge about the moon’s history and evolution, and inform future exploration decisions by characterizing the content of the lunar soil. I understand that beyond the purpose of expanding scientific knowledge about the moon, you are undertaking this mission to upgrade India’s technological capability and to provide challenging opportunities for planetary research for the younger generation. These are commendable goals and I applaud the Indian Space Research Organization for undertaking your first planetary mission. It is my hope, and belief, that as we extend the reach of human civilization throughout the solar system, the United States and India will be partners on many more technically challenging and scientifically rewarding projects. Building on over four decades of productive and mutually beneficial U.S.-Indian space cooperation, I see great potential for NASA and the India Space Research Organization to expand our partnership in the future as we realize the potential of space activities to benefit our peoples and to extend the horizons of commerce, science and exploration.

During my visit, I very much look forward to the opportunity to see first hand India’s impressive space facilities, to meet with your scientists and engineers, and to learn more about your remarkable work to develop and operate India’s launch vehicles, satellites and control stations. I thank you once again for the opportunity to be here, and I very much look forward to the successful launch of this bold mission.

Kachras from the squatter lands of mumbai are ``korio key daam.``

Useless hindoo ugly ducklings are getting annoyed because they have no bhaou in today`s world, so they squeak like pigs. But these monkey believers would jump from tree to tree to have the world believe in something which they are not.

Just shows how code coolies are rotting away on the dark side of humanity. Hai ram ji ke, what? dhoti? Even the south Indians have started hating the northern hindoos, because they are the worst of the worst lot, leftovers of the Brahmins.

But, could these ugly ducklings know any better? How sad for humanity to have these uglies who call themselves Hindoos of India?

Respectfully submitted,

Dear Friend:

Coming from the slums of squatter land like mumbai you sure have the audacity to talk to a true Zoroastrian Persian. Do you forget how we treat you these days in the US? Have you not seen your hindoo eyes, with that ugly face, showing that crooked face, trying to socialize with Persians. Heck, even the Arabs hate your face and your mannerism.

Your India has has created totally ugly looking ducklings, and you don`t even know that? Why don`t you find out where were you raised first? Maybe somewhere you squatted and you had no indoor plumbing.

Then, you are fit to discuss world event`s with an enlightened person like me.

You ilk is so full of rubbish that honest citizens of the world should get together and demand India to justify what sort of food is being fed to its masses. We already know that India is full of AIDS victims. All that squatting on railroad tracks have done it to your masses.

You are a pathetic lot, and you don`t even know that.

Respectfully submitted,

Respected interactors from India,

Please understand that you can trumpet Indian ``victories`` and ``accomplishments`` till kingdome come but that would not hide the following facts :

1. There are not enough toilets in India and millions have to squat by the railway trax.
2. The caste ridden Indian society (with insistence on marriage within caste) is as ``inbred`` as you accuse Muslims of being.
3. The blind hate that you(or most of you) have for Muslims and Pakistan has not lessened over the years.

4. Pakistan will not go away. Islam will not disappear. Pray to your gods. Curse us. Do yagnas. Do whatever. We shall remain and continue to taunt you.

If at all Muslims in Pakistan come after Parsees like Muslims did in Iran, guess
which country they will flee to (like their ancestors), India.
They would not flee to back to Iran, to Afghanistan, to Tajikistan, to Bangladesh,
to China, they would run to India. They would not feel safe anywhere else as they
would in India.
