Harish mian, for its worth, was duly banned from Chowk for several days on several occasions for indulging in such abuse.

And the only reason you weren't is because you lick Chowk staff's boots, of which there is ample evidence. Or you would have to be banned every couple of days.

And sure, we all know your family background, please don't get me started with that.

You are a shameless human being. You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha.

Yasser mian, you accused me of abusing you and the missus. Stop squealing like a pig with its head cut off and show proof. Otherwise, it only proves my earlier contention, and that too on this very board, that it is you guys who started the abuse and you fully deserve any retaliation from my side.

dumbassandhu,

I called you a dumbass, because you are. I did not use the word "fuck". That is a lie.

Harish mian has called me such things for a long time and I don't even consider such banter abuse. It is the vilest abuse that only someone with a questionable family background can throw up that I have objected to.

Harish mian, for its worth, was duly banned from Chowk for several days on several occasions for indulging in such abuse.

Harish Mian,

You are a shameless human being. You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha.

The reason you resort to the vilest abuses against Aisha was only because of what she wrote against India. She had not abused you or your family or anyone else. So your comment is a lie and may God help people like you who are such blatant liars.

... ironic to see Harish mian, who has been hurling similar and worst abuses at Aisha Sarwari for expressing her point of view.

What part of "You don't hit back in the same coin until someone has provoked you by insulting/abusing you or your family members personally." did you have trouble comprehending? You and your missus deserve every bit of abuse I've hurled, because I've only responded in kind.

laddu, no gate-crashing. We are having our own party, open to all. The only requirement is you must love partying.

Those who come because they are called will be strictly prohibited from entering.

Hey,

But how are you going to get past the idolator beheader and intercessor who would ensure that you do not get the ticket to Allah's rave party.

While what folio did was abhorrent... ironic to see Harish mian, who has been hurling similar and worst abuses at Aisha Sarwari for expressing her point of view.

Something ought to be said about double standards.

masadi

It's possible the middle classes brought a democratic mindset in Europe, but in India, at best they provided democratic leadership, refining, defining collective visions and aspirations (not a mean factor by any stretch; but they worked on existing material, did not furnish the material itself).

One may even argue, on a hunch, that in the economically/socially harsh conditions that India faced, middle classes would choose undemocratic/particularistic solutions. I have seen that happen, personally. Anecdotal evidence, but there may be something to it.

harish, folio

Good job, guy :)

We horrible Hindoos enjoy hamdim's presence, even learn from him. On judgement day, we will plead on his behalf, that he be permitted to enter the good places, along with us. :)

Re: Aslam and others

Those who are suggesting that the "Middle class" is somehow responsible for setting up the foundation of democracy in India are talking BS, without popular support the Middle Class is always coopted since they are employed by the vested interests who contour not only their personalities but vest them into maintaining the status quo, not to mention that the Middle Class wasn't of much significance in independence era India as a bullwark against colonization...

Yaar if there is anyone you need to apologize to, it is hamidm2 mian. You don't hit back in the same coin until someone has provoked you by insulting/abusing you or your family members personally. That's all I'm saying.
