Tahmed, Re. your interacts with sadna.

This is not a defence of sadna.... sadna can defend herself... I am trying to defend you from yourself. :):)

From your interacts, I don`t see any danger of sadna being ``exposed`` as a bigot (except among the chowkwallahs who have already irretrievably decided that this is the case.)

However, I do see a danger to your reputation as one who reads (or even makes a sincere attempt to read) responses carefully. I can understand (it happens to all of us sometimes) if you misread/misinterpret a post the first time and make assumptions that were not implied by the author. But I am surprised that you ignore clear explanations offered in subsequent posts.

And agreeing with qalander`s distasteful remarks was just... well, distasteful.

Dost-Mitter # 307

My comment about Hindu women was a mere re-iteration of the accusations made by your own people. The truth of this matter is a different story. My contention was that: I will accept all the accusations and will take all the blame for all the historic injustices that my forefathers have done if you stop punishing and starving your ``own`` people to avenge them. The rape of a women is the most heineous, most horrendous, and most cowardly crime that man has ever invented. It has no justification whatsoever. I apologize to all women particualrly Hindu, Mirzai, and Christian unconditionally if my comments have hurt them but what dost-mitter is saying is not what I meant (refer to # 192)

Sadna, I do find it surprising that Tahmed321 classifies you as a bigot.

Tahmed sahib, classifying Sadna and Urstruly together is a big mistake. Nowhere has Sadna called Muslims and Pakistanis names. So, I fail to see your point.

Shankar #309

One point needs clarification.

We don`t see F-K as embarrasment on Pakistan.

We have quite a few persons espousing same.

But hopefully people would start seeing in terms of issues rather than country pride more appropriately hating each other. Which as I said in another post is like justifying wrong deed commited by my brother.

Regards.

qalander #306 Thanks for the good advice, qalander: it is indeed time to move on from here. Good bye Sadna/Urstruly, and sorry to have ruined the mood between the two of you (I know you two were getting ready for some mudwrestling on this board when I rudely interrupted).

Nice piece of poetry, incidentally. I think you should avoid joking about anyone`s religion though (hinduism in this case). You write way too well for that kind of stuff.

Farangi_Kush,

{{{Like leperous mangy dogs the hindus keep visiting muslim precincts in the vain hope that their former masters might throw a morsel at them.}}

Hah hah ha, not only are you out of touch with REALITY, but I have more respect for the filthiest PIG than I have for you. I dont want to put down Pakistan or Islam. I guess there are plently of psychotic idiots like you among hindus.

First of all, eventhough Chowk was founded by 2 Pakistanis, its motto is EVERYONE is invited to visit & think!! It is advertised as ``S.ASIA`s hottest internet community``!!

I dont have any ``inside info`` on anyone at Chowk`s staff. But the editor`s name (Pratibha Sharma), Chowk Associates( Veeresh Malik & Ashim Banerjee)--all sound like ``leperous mangy dog`` hindu names to me.

So! youre the kind of guy, who ``invites`` himself to Chowk & then makes up preferences about who should visit it or not?!!

Thats so TYPICAL of you. Even in the ``real`` world, you ``invite`` yourself to the West & then verbally & literally take a piss & dump on it.

{{{the ragged-tagged turmeric- oozing hindus hover around muslim sites? An urge to return to slavery,perhaps.}}}

Let me ask you ----re :manners & decency in Islamic culture---- If you go a another person`s house ``uninvited``, park your bigotted butt over there, eat their food & drink their water & then constantly curse (in the safe anonymity of cyberspace) that person`s culture & values!!! What would your decent muslim compatriots think about your audacity?! YEAH..you got it...worse than a PIG!! Thats why so many Pakistanis are acutely embarrased about an idiot like you.

Hey, my posts may sometimes be vulgar & ill mannered by decent muslim/hindu cultural standards. WHAT a person says is more important than HOW he/she says it. But I dont stoop so low as being as shameless Western hating bigot & living in the West .

If you were living in Afghanistan, & said such things I would understand. The pat answer from a hindu would be ---``look at my face? does it look like I give a flying F what you think of my religion?``

Whats your excuse of living in the West?! I wont make the same mistake of expecting a straight answer from a hypocrite like you. PLEASE dont quote Iqbal to me..spaaare me your stupid shiaris, as you bob & weave from evading the answer.

Either you are

1)a political fugitive from Pakistan, who is waiting for the right moment to make a grand entrance to Pakistan when the conditions are just right like a Sunni Khoemeni...or..

2) your kids have told you (respectfully of course) ``screw you, dad , we`re living in the West & if you go back, you go back alone...or

3)Only God & Farangi_Kush knows!!

If answer #3 is so mysterious that you cant even reveal it in the anonymity of cyberspace, I can only logically deduce its ``an urge to return to slavery, perhaps....``

Please do not waste your time & energy on this Indoo witch.There is no witchhunt for those who do not subscribe to the superstition of witches.

Ask her what a chandol,bagar-billa,and chrail is.

There exists an interesting similarity between your personal witch/trophy hunt of myself on chowk and that of the mob baying for Pervez Masih`s blood.
At no point during this hunt do either you or the crowd discuss anything on its merits. Moreover, the prosecutor, jury and judge pronouncing sentence are all embodied in yourselves.
I can also draw an analogy with members of society trying to enforce their caste classifications on selected others.
I am happy to say, I am not in Pervez Masih`s position and will never be and that my country has outlawed the caste system.

re. F_K #284

``Does anybody know the reason why muslims do not visit Indoo sites but the ragged-tagged turmeric- oozing hindus hover around muslim sites? An urge to return to slavery,perhaps.``

Or perhaps an urge to humour their former masters-- which they`re obviously doing with some success?

Muslim Sites, Indoo Sites? My truck, your truck?

--FROM THE OFFICAL CHOWK EDITORIAL WELCOME PAGE--

``A Chowkwala is anyone who understands and accepts that all are welcome to read, write and think as Chowkwalas... Chowk is a community where all are welcome to read, write and think.``

Fortunately for F_K, participation is not limited to those capable of more than one of the above.

re. narain #256 and Rdesikan #251:

It amazes me that you think that you can somehow get through to this wilful paranoid using reason. Were you guys snoozing through Psych 101 or what!! :)

If you think your posts will do a whit to stem the mindless and ultimately self-righteous rants of a very disturbed mind, well all I can say is I wish I shared your faith in the power of reason to conquer deep-seated paranoia.

rgds,

Shankar #288

From Gunwar!

The context is Urstruly`s accusation on the situation in India.

And rationalization that situation is not so bad (or improving)

So it was just an observation of Tu Tu Mein Mein.

That any thing coming out of Urstruly`s pen needs to be refuted.

(Although I would do the same if I am in Indian shoes for the simple reason that it is not an attempt to solve the situation but an attempt to show that you are bad and I am better).

Usually I tend to shy away these days from these discussions. But sometimes hands just itch.

Accusation and counter accusation will either strengthen our BELIEFS. Or will produce some understanding.

In my experience, some long term Jamati (Islamist) my friends are taking an active role in Social justice and some long term leftists are inclined towards religion.

While in student days we were poles apart in our thinking, propaganda and actions. It means to me those times have not been lost. We influenced each others thoughts in the long run.

My philosophy is I am ``Me`` and you are ``You``. How can I find common ground without comprising on ``Me`` and ``You``.

Regards.

Urstruly #297 You write ``... sigh!!``

Sadna #296 You write ``Sigh``

I must have said something right.

Eklavya - All

I have read these stories, but I must admit that I`m having a hard time believing that The Prince/King killed his own mother and father and siblings over a disagreement about whom he would marry.

It seems to much like a Bollywood movie scenario to be true, especially, among families at that cultured and refinded state as families who have been in such publicly powerful positions and who are the only Hindu royalty in the world.

It`s too tragic and too absurd. And why has he been named King? None of this makes sense.

tahmad321

Dont you worry bro about sadna. This is the occupational hazard of being a neem Mullah. I think the past 100 posts are a proof positive for you to understand who is in war hysteria. Ind. or Pak. There hasnt been a decent human being on Indian side who has condemnd the starving death of their own people. They would rather have their bombs so that they could tell us that they will finger Chinese than to have food for dying. THis is the mental state of the most learned of a nation. Mr. Tahmad if this cant open your eyes then what would? What else one can say other than ``sumun, bukmun, umyun``... sigh!!

Sadna: Go easy on Tahmad. He is actually on your side.
