Instead of China, USA had the power of creating industrial base, provided the country provides cheap labour and other ingrediants of industry. The country should be pro-USA. China has mostly benefitted in later stage of Indiastrilisation, where low cost product and high volume production is considered the viable model of generating profit.

Unfortunately people like Vengatraman forget the essential facts. The Muslim Majority areas that formed Pakistan had absolute Muslim majorities... Sindh's Hindu population remains strong and so does that of Bangladesh.

Ans: Sindh had Sindhi (non -Urdooo/Moslem) population of around 24% in 1947. It is now 6%-8%. Bangladesh speaks similar story.

Mr. Jango (or Django), Panchagabya is not harmful. Ghee, Milk and curd is generic food item. Of the other two cow dung is used for fungal infection. I am not sure about medicinal value of urine, but Mr. Morarjee Desai used to consume his own urine for some ailment. The barbaric moslems had destryoed much of the knowledge of Ayurveda. Some are available as rituals (Use of Turmeric for holy bath).

nkg yar brahmins of today pretty much follow inane rotuals with little-understanding. now harimau claims to be an equal opportunity slayer of the stupid..imo brahmins are holders of a rich treasure-trove. its silly to blame medieval invasions on everything from shitting on the railroads to eating shit...hrimau is watching so be careful.

reality is IF there was good knowledge, and brahmins were indeed the holders of this, they ought to be blamed for losing it fair and square...after all they did not lose the mumbo-jumbo..the puranic tales and such did they? all they lost was understanding of discoveries by bhaskara and sushruta.

they are stupid and should be really scared of harimau.

Re: # 180
I can not fully agree with you. Brahmins were of different types. Those who used to perform puja etc... used to create new rituals/customs to exploit others in the society. It was the main reason for popularity of Budhdhism. Lot of Jataka tales basically attacks unnecessary rituals by brahmins. But non-priest brahmins had carried out their work in medical science,yoga, astronomy, mathematics, literature. Aryabhatta was from post-Buddhist era. Similar stories you will find in ayurveda also. Muslims had killed these class of brahmins and tried to take away their work as islamic work. That stopped the development of that field. A refined society, under the rule of barbarians fails to maintain its standard. Read the story of Allah-upanishad. Now a days, moslems started claiming about their version of yoga.

Re: # 180
One thing, I have missed.
In present situation, there is no point maintaining rituals. Brahmins does not force any ritual also. In large section of society, it is very difficult to find a brahmin to perform these rituals.

Ref ajeya #172

{#168 IslamIslam

Let me respond to this dumbass post that suggests that the US was "allowing" import of Chinese goods because of strategic reasons to "allow" China to rise.

Here's an article from someone who actually knows what he is talking about, not some small-time IT manager talking big on an obscure Internet site:}

Well, code coolies like you are sucking the dicks of the “small-time IT manager(s)” in most US and/or outsourcing companies in order to keep your job and hope to get a green card while you serve out your mandated 6-years and more of indentured labor as an H1-B visa holder. So, actually it is not a bad position to be an IT manager, small-time or big-time.

{http://www.chinanowmag.com/finance.htm}

I expect you will now be posting from China Now’s next issue about how the Dalai Lama is a “splittist” and how Tibetans love the Beijing government.

The least you can do is to find a source that is neutral. But that would mean that you actually have the comprehension capabilities of at least a banana slug.

Also, considering that FDI started flowing into China after 1978 and this article is published fully 30 years later in 2008, it would take an extraordinarily talented astrologer to predict back in 1978 that the Chinese government would be propping up the US economy by buying US Treasury bonds and other securities. But, how can a banana slug comprehend the passage of time? Thus you are quoting the actualities of 2008 to support your thesis of what took place in 1978.

{Here's an excerpt:

[Second, and perhaps even more importantly, the Chinese government policy of buying heavily in the U.S. debt market has contributed to much lower interest rates than would otherwise prevail. These low interest rates have been instrumental in keeping the U.S. economy from falling further and faster, including stimulating the aforementioned boom in housing.

In other words, public policies formulated in Beijing have actually been beneficial to the U.S. economy. Furthermore, cheap Chinese-made exports into the U.S. economy, the source of ire for U.S. government officials and politicians, have benefited American consumers. The effect of lower-priced consumer goods is to increase the real income of these consumers. They can buy more, and live better, than without these low-cost imported goods. The money saved on goods made in China may, in fact, result in increased purchases of the more capital- and knowledge-intensive goods manufactured in the United States, and may stimulate more spending on services and other goods that generate jobs in the domestic economy. It is, therefore, not quite so clear that an undervalued yuan (if, indeed, it is undervalued) is a zero sum game.

Is the yuan undervalued? This is also not as straightforward as it might seem. Yes, China is running a trade surplus with the United States because of the demand for low-priced, Chinese-made goods.....]}

Print this so that you can wipe your arse with it.
