One is mad due to Hindian nationalism, and the other is mad that he got bitten by Hindutva.

But what about you, yaar Taiko? All your pent up anger at being denied your democratic rights is perhaps causing you to hyperventilate on Chowk. Calm down a bit yaar!

Manto mian,

A small piece of trivia for you. Dec 5, 2006 was the 100th anniversary of HM Seervai. Remember him- the great jurist- World Famous in Pakistan. And incidentally this gentleman shares his b`day with yours truly.

And let poor MKG be. We Indians have already forgotten him and got on with our lives, its time you too did the same.

Regards

I really am trying to comprehend your angle of calling Bhutto a fascinating character... Yes, he had certain strong characteristics but did it help Pakistan in a long run? He was intelligent, YES... what else? Was he ethical?

[Those SOB`s can be rather charming, when it suits them!]

The ZAB was not a lawyer, by any chance?!

Kya kiya jaye, yaar!

Those SOB`s can be rather charming, when it suits them!

Mrs. Gandhi at the time was perhaps anxious to send back the 90,000 mehmaans who had recently arrived from Bangladesh - wearing khaki with chains.

The truth is - had the man seen the folly of his ways at that point in time - the only point when the khakis had shown a bit of sense and were a bit less arrogant than they usually are - it could have been a very different country today!

Therefore, if anybody should have been hung in addition to Jinnah - it would have to be that man, not so much for precipitating the events that caused Bangladesh to be born but for taking the remainder where it is today!

But BJ, wasn`t it the same `pygmy` who charmed your `Indra` to the extent that she agreed to everything he said against the pursuations of her own cabinet at Simla??????

In deference to Zeemax`s sensitivity to spelling mistakes, here is a ``spelling mistakes corrected`` version of an earlier interact.

Those Pakistanis who are cursing their hearts out at the ZAB are well-advised to recall in whose image that man molded himself.

They should remember the character from whom the ZAB learnt his guile and his fraudulent “art” of divisiveness – and his utter contempt for others and his absolute intolerance of other sects and religions – and most importantly, his dictatorial streak!

Yup, that ZAB was merely a little pygmy!

A tiny no-consequence insignificant trivial little pygmy!

Compared to his master and his mentor!

The SON OF A BITCCH vamp himself!

The Little Pygmy
The Big Creep

Manto: Not sure I understand what you mean? We are not discussing Gandhi here on this thread, far from it.

You Harish and you Shaitani! One is mad due to Hindian nationalism, and the other is mad that he got bitten by Hindutva.

You two deserve each other for sure.

Harish are you mad

Bhai Sanatani, you are entitled to your opinion and I am to mine. I find your views a bit too radical and disagree with them, but I respect your right to express them.

Regards!

Re: # 108

Manto ji,

I do not get this ``Behind all the caustic sarcasm, there seems to be an appreciation of history even if through a blighted colored lens``.

What sarcasm, what appreciation of history and what blighted coloured lens.

Maybe I was wrong to suspect you earlier. Doesn`t matter what you have failed to realise or appreciate is Gandhi is our cross to bear not yours. Whats even worse (though very good from a Paki point of view) people do not realise that madar das is our worst point and the huge majority of scumbag fellow countrymen try to represent him [as] the best. Put yourself in my shoes you will realise how much of a fight this is.

In fact between us actually I find your criticism of Gandhi very amusing. Amusing because you have not even remotely touched on madar das`s real flaws and bad qualities you could get a clue if you have the ability to read between my lines esp in my posts to beej bhai and can make 1 and 1 53 with the mind of a mathematician and the finesse of a lawyer, but trust me you will never get this (to be fair neither will anyonede of my scum madar das loving countrymen and I am not about to tell you state secrets)

Anyway thank you for all the help I am sure you give my co-religionists in your country. Now just wish I could get my own countrymen to do the same to a certain set of my co-religionists her that would be gr8. And Manto while gandhu did get the wrong end of the stick 1 thing is clear there is nothing wrong with the caste system. I wish that you independently arrive to this conclusion.

Regards
Sanatani

If by coloured glasses you meant by description of Shrimant J`s `secular` allies then I think this time like beej bhai you are being economical with the truth.

Stuka,

Unfortunately the facts of history now read and re read after declassification of classified documents lend themselves to the very opposite conclusion to what Indian Nationalists and Hindu fascists have been peddaling for 60 years.

Just goes to prove that you can`t fool all the people all the time.

Re: # 101

Harish are you mad,

You have named 3 of the biggest scum vermin of our country in the same sentence as Paki dictators.

3 simple questions to demolish your reverence for these bastarrrrrrds:

1) Ask Manu Singh about the HDW tapes.
2) Ask Kallu Madrasi about the weapons he designed as head of DRDO
3) Ask bajju pai about how Parmod Mahajan and Ranjan Bhatta made his millions.

India is gr8 despite and in spite these MadurChoooodss because of the 2nd rung of leaders around them. Bakistan exists because of Ayub, Yahya, Zia and Parbej Muhajir.

Laloo and Rabri are infinitely superior to the scumbags like manu, kallu and bajju.

No Regards
Sanatani
