Re: # 5: "before you Indians finally managed to sell all your scruples "

Indians know a lot about West and America. Do you remember quote of Gandhi when asked about Christianity .."it's an interesting idea." Soviets gave us new temples of India Bokoroes and IITs besides armament dirt cheap. They saved India in security councils.

When I was a graduate student slogged for $700 pm research but enjoyed also. Pakis in neighboring B grade universities partied till they dropped. Their general/brigadier daddies came every six months. And what were they studying? ..Business or English. Those poor bewakoof fanatic Mujahiddins were sold by you guys. Why by them? MAJ did the same in 30s and 40s. Your PM goes on vacation for 3.5 months instead of working on constitution and watering roots of democracy. Your blind hate made you prostitute to Americans and Chinese. Even when India was non-aligned and created third force of all newly liberated countries and you remained colonized in mind and spirit India and Indians helped American society by its spiritual gurus and scientific manpower. Indians were managing structural and computing projects for Columbia even in 75-76. Americans value real contributors. If you prostitute yourself then they will use you likewise. Even by 98 out of 2K start ups 1400 were started by Indians insilicon valley. Their graduate schools run because of Indian profs and Indian/Chinese students. Bakis only did darabari/strategic gandugiri.

You made yourself dhobi ka Kutta Na ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka.

Dont worry about India, it has survived tens of thousands of years as a civilization because it has strong foundation. New generation in India in a decade will go back to its spiritual roots. Then we will have balance of right spiritual understanding and scientific outlook. In coming 2 decades India should make sure that Bakis dont do anymore gandmasti in Kashmir or radicalizing Indian Muslims.

American state is turning around and even China. Bakis should stop gaandmasti. Indian civilization should demolish the division of the world by these Abrahmic religions. People are People without labels. Right now India should work within the system and be the best player of the game so that later we can modify the game rules to help every ones including Africans.

Re # 4

It interesting you should think all this.. but a mere generation ago .. before you Indians finally managed to sell all your scruples for that little bit of money you're flouting these days .. yours was a nation that backed the Soviet Union to the last ...

Indians know nothing about America. They're totally new to this game, and they seem to also be under the misapprehension that there are indeed such things as free lunches. Pakistan on the other hand have been at it since the 70's and have learnt the hard way.. that the World has as of yet seen no greater pestilence than America and her citizens.

Let me assure you, all dealings and indeed contact with Americans under any circumstances shall always necessarily result in catastrophe. They are each unreserved criminals economically, politically, socially and even personally every man, woman and child. This is their nature and this is what they are, nothing more and nothing less. India's time is coming.

Re: # 3:
"
America remains a nation founded in experimental breeding of various European undesirables, genocide, slavery and totalitarian christianity. There is absolutely no excuse for their existence which demerits humanity as a whole.
"

Holding a small mirror: Replace Christanity by Islam, European by Indian, slavery by dhimmification of non-Muslims, Bengalis, Baluch and Sindhis. Now whom do you see in the mirror.

Darbari Gandus, feudals and opportunist job seekers and Brit agents were undesirables.

It's America which truly educated most of us. It's America which became the wind beneath our wind. Only in America, our creative Indian juices could flow liberally. God Bless America! Truly land of the brave and free. Indians should not equate American state with America, our second mother. Even state has not been that bad. American state can be reformed with persuasion and argument. Can we say same about Islamic brutes in Saudi Arabia or Baki land?

Not really .. They've been a nation of money-grubbing turds since the very beginning.

This is all some exercise in humanising and apologising for americans, who if anything following the end of the war, only produced the greatest generation of criminals history has ever seen. In real terms humanity derived greater utility from the Nazis who in fact killed far less people than the Americans in their various misadventures during the Cold War and more recently. The Nazis were at least pursuing an aesthetic .. the americans just want to steal your money.

America remains a nation founded in experimental breeding of various European undesirables, genocide, slavery and totalitarian christianity. There is absolutely no excuse for their existence which demerits humanity as a whole.

A very sad and bitter truth you have reflected in this article. This is sad, because USA, was the land of opportunity. It was the land that used to welcome and incorporate all; a land that was unique in generosity of issuing citizenship and social security to all. The people of the land were mostly unbiased compared to the rest of the West (comprising Brits and rest of the Europe). They generally mind their own business and majority of them were peacefully living in their own closed community unaware and least bothered about worldly politics. In those days (before Gulf war and 9/11) most of the public were ignorant about the existence of Pakistan as a country on the Globe right beside India, Islam and Muslims.

You are true by saying that 9/11 did slaughter the ‘Age of Innocence’, thanks to these
greedy imperialists, tyrant invaders, profit hungry corporate giants. It is so sad that poor innocent people pay the price, suffer great pain, hunger, depression because of ‘the learned Man’. Men who are blessed with wisdom, money, power use their resources to accumulate more of all of the above at the cost of awarding irreversible damages to humanity and Earth.

You write that “house to house fighting is more expensive and more grinding..........attackers are fighting from the beginning with one arm tied behind”, I feel by saying that, you were being unfair, unkind, and biased towards defenders. As I would argue, why does one go for ‘house to house fighting’ or when ‘Civilians are involved’? May be it is because you were using the filter of US Marine. Well I just wish, I just want to see the world clear of these words, these line of works such as: Army, War, battalions, Marines, weapons etc. I just wish every country had denounced their Army like Switzerland. I wish every political leaders, every state ruler just mind their own business and just work for the betterment of their own people. I wish there will be no such thing as visa and people move freely, securely from one land to another. But as Faraz says:
"Humein naheen humaree tarah ke aur bhee loag
Azaab mein the jo auroan se soachte the alag"

The eloquent portrayal of three generation is admirable and I would add that the ‘Angry Generation’ is not just breeding in America through the courtesy of ‘Two evil Bush’s’ administration/policies’ but in the rest of the world too esp. in Muslim world. The current wave of this rapidly approaching ‘Neo-Geo-Political world order’ is ‘Tsunami’ in it self ready to destroy every little trace of ethical values, kindness, justice and peace. Generally, the unjust tyrant administrative strategies lead to hateful, violent, poverty bitten, frustrated angry generations. These ‘Angry People’ become lethally dangerous. Their humane hearts could be easily, frenzied by extreme emotions regarding, faith, race, culture, cult, language, and nationalism through media propaganda.

Forgiveness, tolerance, ‘Ahinsa’ seems so attractive but how could one apply it. To ensure peace, to prevail tolerance, to calm down anger I feel we need justice and. I feel the criminal, corrupt, brutal political figures, should face the severe punishment. I feel angry when I see the top corrupt leaders are set free through provision of ‘NRO’ when the nation is suffering from severe scarcity of food. I mean we really would like to be ‘Mahaan’; we can preach ‘Ahinsa’ like Gandhi, we want to follow Christ “to present my other cheek to the assaulter if slapped on one”, but a common man could achieve this highest virtue of forgiveness only after his grievances are healed through just, fair system.

A very good read. This angry generation is willing to go to any level to safeguard their national and not-s-national interests. Its the time that they need a lesson on anger management.
