PS:

The reason I was out looking for the `Jehad` boxes was because I really wanted to see the truth for myself...

Two ramzans ago... I did find a Jamat-u-Dawa stall asking for funds for Jehad against India and Israel, and for the resettlement of Afghan Refugees... I had it removed by contacting the local SHO ... and I personally tore down the anti-India/Anti-Hindu Banner...

I tell you this because I had mentioned this even then because it was the truth... but what Veeresh is putting up is a blatant and horrible lie.

Now I really don`t want to ridicule some unfortunate but here is at least one picture to show what Bangalore actually is:

``In Bangalore, more than 800 slums give shelter to approximately 1.5 mil people.``

Here is one more and I will do not any more Tahmed!
This is a better picture of the real situation in Bangalore.

trust the flagbearer of the RSS to come to the bear`s defence -- er sadna stop quoting me figures 4 years old from the CIA factbook -- also u meant higher quantity not quality -- also forgot to mention that india`s population is 8 times more than pakistan`s -- higher salaries have to do with costs of living primarily -- cant teach u basic econ now -- but your own figures and then saying higher salaries mean better quality comment makes no sense shri sadnajee -- if u meant higher salaries more qty then i can understand -- since indian newspaper circulation is more than pakistan`s -- the figures r not indicative of quality or perhaps for a paki hating diehard such as yourself they prob r

HP: You may be interested in knowing that this particular variety of CREIP (AlephNull) that you call by its descriptive name (A-hole) also has a scientific name: CREIP/BUM (Chowk Registered Expert from India on Pakistan, subcategory Burnt Up Man). The subcategory being on account of the perpetual smell of burning rubber that he emanates.

but seriously, you are right. These individuals are all shameless apologists for hindu terrorism. Just consider reading their excuses for the brutal murder of their fellow citizens in India to be an educational experience of the kind of lowlife that exists in India.

As for Bangalore, I used to have a friend from that city. He told me that it used to be a nice place, but has become a mess due to rapid growth (like many other cities in south asia). He also told me how his mother still does not speak to his wife because he (a brahmin) married her (and she was of lower caste). It is fine, real life people like him that give one hope that India is not just a collection of a billion specimen of the CREIP variety. Just be glad we have these pathetic specimen around to have some fun with.

323 by A-hole

Just when I thought this thread has died after Veeresh’s surrender and apology, A-hole shows up with his screwed up ideas and start spouting his non sense. This man is a piece of work and I got to admit that this A-hole, who truly believes that Sikhs offered themselves to be killed in 1984, has some gall to talk about Jihadis and their relations to Lahore. This person has Muslim blood oozing out of every pore of his body and he is pretending that he can actually compare some Indian cities with Lahore. I have seen Bangalore as recently as three years ago and if I start posting pictures that I have and that are also available on the Net of that filth of a city; Bangalore, then tahmed would ask me stop as he did to another poster.
Raiwind (This A-hole does not even know the name of the place right) near Lahore is a place of annual gathering of several hundred thousand Muslims like Vanaras is the scene of annual gathering place for several hundred thousand Naked RSS members and baby killers from Gujarat and elsewhere in India.

It is amazing how these upstarts hear and believe things said about Bangalore in Indian Papers or Indian web sites. If you ask them to quote some references most of them would come back with some stupid links from Rediff or sulekha.com. The two most horrendous pieces of unmitigated sh!t on the net.

Bangalore is not even the capital of the call centers and most of this number-four-in-every thing sh!t believers would not even know which city in the US is the Mecca of call centers. Let’s not even talk about the technology centers. These are the same guys who actually and truly believe that India is the richest country in the world just behind the US.

The country is so rich but every frigging medical and Engineer graduate wants to leave that country with the first opportunity available.

To top it all, most of them present FAKE resumes and apply for jobs thinking that people don’t know their game. Ask any IT technical recruiter of some standing in the US and he/she will tell how often they find Indians claiming years of experience, can’t even decipher common computer terms.

I am in possession of several hundred fake resumes from several hundreds of these fake technology masters. The beauty of the brilliance is that you will find several resumes with the same job and the job description on several of these technology wizards. It is shameful that some poster like A-hole here claim that Bangalore is the fourth something in Technology. It is unfortunately, also number one in producing fake resumes too.

These confessed baby killers like Harra-mi, A-hole and Sad Lass would like people to believe that RSS does not exist and the monsters of Gujarat were just innocent bystanders who happened to have killed couple of thousand Babies, Women and older folks to satisfy their desires to hunt human being!

Dear Mantolives:

For me something good came out of this craziness, I was able to see Lahore in nice pictures, having never been there myself. Please put more pictures from all walk of life and periords, and I suggest that you put a photo album on Lahore here on Chowk. You may even include the famous railroad track to India as well. Remember a picture is worth thousand words, and then you can rest your case.

Anil

[.... jehad boxes for example were more likely simply donation boxes for Mosques...]

Ah yes, and the AK-47s the Jehadis carry are meant to shoot birds, right?

[... the women who covered themselves when entering Pakistan were probably Indians visiting Pakistan for the first time and boy are they in for a shock]

Another gem!! Need I say more?

Harimau #198

{{… you are being cruel and you know it. But the Pakistanis fell for it.

Bangalore is the IT capital of India. …

To top it all, Bangalore has just been ranked the fourth best ``Global hub of technological innovation`` by none other than the United Nations...... }}

If you translate IT suitably from the Indian to the Pakistani context, redefining it as Islamist terrorism, Lahore may well be a good analogue for Bangalore. The MDI/Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters and large campus is at Muridke, about 25 miles from Lahore. It has been the scene of annual gatherings of several hundred thousand present and future jihadis. It would be the Lahori/Pakistani analogue of the campuses of Infosys or Wipro, and the LeT’s activities are of equal regional and global significance to those of Indian IT majors. It is true that Lahore is not the only such center of excellence in IT in Pakistan – I would guess that Karachi would lead – so perhaps Hyderabad in India would be the correct counterpart for Lahore. But Lahore would surely rank right up there with other Pakistani cities as a major ‘global hub of Islamic terrorism’ when the UN gets around to producing such a ranking.

I find it odd on the whole that Pakistani Chowkistas have no wish to highlight this important facet of their city. I searched in vain among the Lahore photographs posted on this thread for scenes of jihadis strutting their stuff. Pity.

Ref salim #294

[Kaura, Kaka, Rajsinghi, Saint, friend, rsaxena, harimau, and others,

Khoob faida utha rahe hen aap log Ramzan ke mahine ka. Enjoy while there are a few more weeks and my sharafat knows no bounds. But come Eid, you will all be singing a different tune. It will be a real bhaloo dance - except that the hunters will be taking turns doing ``touch their toes`` exercises as the bhaloo punishes each and every one for misbehaving all month long. Keep up the nonsense and you will need those multiple recti, not just for the vegetarian samosas.]

With such proclivities -- of which we already know and there is no need for you to acknowledge them so openly, despite the curret fervor for ``coming out of the closet`` -- I wonder how the Ummah keeps growing. It does seem a medical miracle -- or is it one of Allah`s? Or is there a more mundane explanation of how Muslimas conceive?

veeresh: As this article reaches the end of its front page existence, I too would like to thank you: for making one absurd remark after another. Lacking that, your article would have met the fate of better written articles on the front page - i.e. without over 300 posts being generated.

I dont see how by any stretch of imagination you reach the conclusion that 96% of Pakistanis and Indians agree with you - but then, that is in keeping with your determination not live in your world of illusions. If you had been a bit more honest and humble, instead of claiming that 96% agree with you (which puts you close to your iraqi counterpart Baghdad Bob`s boss, who claimed to have 99% iraqis voting for him), you would have written something like this:

``I, veeresh, note that I have written a lot of absurd things in the article, some of which I have changed 180 degrees in the discussion after they were brought to my attention - e.g. my absurd remark about tipping; and the rest of which I have ignored - e.g. my absurd remark regarding the libaration of lahore in 1971; and none of which I have offered any regrets or any apology, thus proving that I have fully immunity to reality and logic or common courtesy.``

Anyway, have a good life in the land of oz.

pakis 87, horrible hindoos 44

...... i have always been against letting the horrible hindoos cross over to the right side of the border - see what you get ?..........damn ingrates!.......... now let us put an end to this nonsense and go back to the cold war untill we are capable of winning a hot war ........

............. in any case, it warms the cockles of my heart to see pakis of all hues and colors come together to defend the honor of the fatherland ........

.........i declare the pakis winners by 84-44 (the picture of indian waiters was worth 10 points)

p.s. salim mian, you are a piece of work! shabash, naujawan!

rajasingh: I must respectfully repeat what I said earlier: I do not need you or anyone else to interpret for me what Veeresh really meant to say. You say you at picked on 2 out of 5 points - if you were being reasonable, you would have also acknowledged that the other 3 points he made were indeed absurd.

Also note that your count above is incorrect: it is not 2 but only 1 out of 5 (the five being, GC college;lahore liberation;high tipping indians;no chemist shops;marutis, out of which you mentioned only GC Lahore. If I am wrong, please tell me the post number where you attempted to defend some other absurdity.).

Since you keep insisting that GC should not be included in the list of absurdities, let me focus it: suppose for the sake of discussion one accepts your claim that all veeresh meant was that this was a copy of a collage of some Indian college: What then was the purpose other than to detract from the purpose for which YLH put up that picture? The purpose of the picture was not to show the artistic merits of the collage, but to present the picture as part of the positive aspects of Lahore that Veeresh chose to ignore. Perhaps veeresh ignored it because he developed cataracts due to extreme prejudice, the sad condition per hamidm`s diagnosis. Perhaps he ignored it because he is more interested in pushing his stupid jingoistic agenda. Who the hell cares. He makes stupid statements, and gives all of us with time to spare an excuse to have a bit of fun pointing those out. :-)
