Re: # 21

mohair,

well it is certainly possible that this might be an ISI work but pakistan is trying to portray the ``secular`` image these days and this would run contrary to that ``secular`` image game.

like my question is what do they benefit from it, i think this would hurt pakistan.

of course there are folks in pakistan that would love to see India in hell but right now this action wont help pakistan.

//....i think this would hurt pakistan....//

That`s what you think. There so many pakis you don`t share your thinking and those are people who have training, weapons, religion, money and power. They have everything they need to do what they want to do. And they are doing it. .... You have nothing - so what you think doesn`t matter.

Yes - pakistan is trying to portray the ``secular`` image these days - but you can put much lipstick on a pig - pig will continue to what the pig usually does ..... and nobody will be surprised.

Re: # 13


Here ``those`` are indians or americans?
i have personal exp. with a few indians on this. I knew a person who would hate jap cars simply because most of the desis would buy toyotas/hondas. I guess he didn`t want to fit into that desi stereotype. I have seen many others badmouthing jap cars in school days but after realising the value of dal-atta preferring much dependent jap cars which have resale value.
There was a guy who once told me that he prefers german cars over japs because japs are more electrical whereas germans are more mechanical under the hood. I kept wondering how many times this guy opens the hood before driving the car. Maybe that was just an excuse to keep a distance from being branded a desi.

These kind of sabotage activities always escalate whenever there is some expectation of peace and improvement relations between two countries.
This has become so much like a stereotype that people have stopped reacting to such events.
As Veeresh has said,life goes on normally.

The dilema of Hindus is

``Sup they moonh ch korh kirli......``. ( A lizard in a snake`s mouth) - It can`t eat it and it can`t spit it out.

On one hand they see the mosques on their temple ruins - symbols of past humilliations........On the other hand, they have secular and Gandhian image to maintain. What to do? What to do?

Re: # 7

``On one hand they see the mosques on their temple ruins - symbols of past humilliations........On the other hand, they have secular and Gandhian image to maintain. What to do? What to do?``

the answer is quite simple:

Forgive but not forget.

The americans have forgiven the japs for Pearl Harbor but have not forgotten it. They have a memorial which reminds them of it.

The Japs have forgiven the Americans for A-bombs, but have not forgotten it. Their Prime Ministers still visit the Yasukuni shrine.

The Jews have forgiven the Germans for the holocaust but have not forgotten it.

people wo don`t learn from history are destined to repeat it.

no riots take place when hindu temples are attacked. riots take place when a mosque is attacked.

temporal, there have been several successful bomb attacks and several foiled ones, even since godhra..two in bombay were particularly high-casualty..there were a couple more all ascribed to cross-border jehadis..no communal riots or anything.

temporal:
I do not expect any repurcussions. It is being portrayed as a jihadi attack and not a Godhra-type communal attack and the attackers did not succeed. In any case Maulana Mulayam is not the same as Modi.
I am willing to bet a loonie.

veeresh needs to learn to be objective and accept that he is totally messed up.
