This article is unusually well written for chowk, I demand it be taken off the fp.

NB, This was not written 4 Chowk but written 4 Guardian newspaper.

I admire Bill and his work on Indian issues (Pak included). I dont consider him as gora anymore.

I know it was not written for chowk, but it still too good for chowk. What next, Salman or Amitav Ghosh to write for chowk?

Wow, that sounds incredible!

Well at Chowk, it's either too good or too bad. One look at the other piece "Rise of Hindu Right Wing Ideology" and I'm reminded of articles Pakistan's Urdu press (I can't read Urdu, but used to read nuggets of their columns translated into English in the Friday Times).

Harish, Chowk cant be neutral to Indians and Pakistanis.....this site is essentially for Pakistanis.

Pl look at the coverage of news (from Main page of Chowk):

News from Elsewhere

* Jinnah's Gujurati Interview reveals his attributes, Daily India

* Islamic Perspective of Pakistan Ambassadors of Islam/Pak Observer

* Pakistani Christian leader vows to fight for minority rights till the last drop of his blood.

& Look at the topics they publish! They NEVER publish articles that deal with Indian subjects and issues.

Add on:

Why cant these Chowk jerks publish the articles that appeared along with Bill's in Guardian? Coz they're written on India!

Since this one is written on Pakistan, these Chowk jerks published it readily.

Harishbhai,

I used to love the Nuggets in the Friday Times sadly it is not free to air anymore. They were absolutely hilarious- Maulanas predicting Islam takeover of the world, Reema and Meera getting guttam guthha, tales of bhoots and jinns pursuing men and women they fancied.

Regards

Pl look at the coverage of news (from Main page of Chowk):

Yaar, I just looked at it and found that even you can add a news item. So essentially it means Chowk staff have nothing to do with it. It is users like you and me who add those items, and I have a feeling that the ones about Jinnah and Paki Christians must have surely been added by Yasser mian.

This is in vast contrast to what biased account noble prized Naipaul has written in 'Among Believers' and given prize just after 9/11

Harish,

I concede the point abt some readers adding news topics BUT the nature of articles published are one-sided. Cant deny that.

NB,

He said some +ve points abt Pakistan which is OK when the wole world is cusring them.

Excpet Mr. Dalrymple's date of Pakistan's "Independence", I dont have any issues with this article.

Jugnu Mohsin, the publisher of the Lahore-based Friday Times, put it recently, "After a period of relative quiet, for the first time in a decade, we are back to the old question: it is not just whether Pakistan, but will Pakistan survive?"

Jugnu Mohsin should be asked the following in response:

1) If Pakistan doesn't survive, will it disappear in thin air? Or will there be something else in it's place? India? China? Afghanistan? Iran? Or what?

2) If Pakistan does survive, will the people like Jugnu Mohsin who have permanent residences in New York but run Pakistan, survive?
