Re: # 82
Anil...
Hindu Socialism....

Indian philosophy covers everything....

Geeta's "ma phalesu kadachana..." is closest to socialism...But then again, it is difficult to reach that thinking level...

I agree; I think Arjun is wrongly victimised and vilified just because he has a colourful personality albeit displaying it in his own refreshingly unique way

I for one have always been a keen proponent of 'individuality' and against the fascists that try to suppress it just because of a personal sense of 'likes and dislikes' and a hyped up sense of self-riteous morality

Re: # 108
Tahmed...
Hilsa is proper only with rice items. The smell and the fat is different from other sea fishes. It does not have the universal appeal like Pomfret.
Such mixed water fishes tastes different. People of Bengal, Orissa, Assam, Tripura... like it very much. Majumder sould be big fan of it.

Create Alpha
Ans: I have nice answer for this. Machine can not work without human. It is just tool to make human life better and fuels progress of human civilisation.
We need some mechanism to reduce human population...

ahmedmadani: there is a big difference between Qureshi and Aziz. Qureshi came for a specific purpose - namely to serve as interim President and conduct elections. He carried out his duties properly by holding elections that were considered by and large to be free and fair. And then he left in a respectable manner.

Aziz came in supposedly for a specific purpose - namely to serve as interim PM under an interim President. He then decided to stay on the job and help perpetuate Musharraf's illegal rule. And then he left like a thief running off into the night.

So, please dont lump respectable people with crooks.

nkg #103 like i said to cheema, i first (and last) heard of hilsha fish in bangladesh. while bangladeshis assumed that the rest of the world was swooning over bengal's hilsha fish, i frankly found nothing particularly spectacular in its taste or appearance. it was just another fish as far as i could tell.

We know that Arjun is a difficult person but what's wrong with Arjun's posts 93 & 94? Was it bcos he mentioned Manto?

Is Manto's wife who's editing this site?

+++++

Mr. Safwan Shah,

Why secrecy abt the ppl who edit this site? No magazine - real or Intenet - maintains this secrecy? Have some transparency, plz.

Re: # 70
Tahmed...
Ans: The quality of jute, produced in lower Ganges delta is superior than any other place. So, they call it "golden fibre".Brits started commercial tea cultivation in India, specially Darjeeling, Terai and Duars regions. That had spread to hill areas (north eastern) areas of Bangladesh also. Flavour wise Daljeeling tea was quite popular in India for long time. East european countries and Russia was major market for such tea.
Regarding Hilsa. This fish is really tasty (fat and smell)...

Iqbal was brilliant Shariati was brilliant -- they were not Islamo-socialists -- Iqbal was a Indian Islamo-fascists -- Shariati was an Iranian Islamo-fascist -- both were the children and the grand children of the original Afghani Islamo-fascist Jamaluddin Afghani of the original Pan Islamiist movement.

Between the three of them they messed up the whole region from Amu Durya to Durya-e Nile to Morghab durya to Jhelum and Chanab duryas -- for decades and decades to come.

CA writes "Masadi, can you explain to me what would humans do in your future, when machines continue to produce more and more and human intervention is going to be minimal"

They'll direct their energies towards upsetting the system of the deception and manipulation set in motion by an elite that keeps them deprived inspite of the "machines producing more and more"- people were never meant to be cogs in the machinery of capital. Studying sociology would be a catalyst towards eventual human liberation, so that would be a good choice for the smart ones to make....
