``waisay are there are cute guys in yer family??? *wink wink* mein sadqay jaon sacred dooty parr :p...coffee?``.....


How far is it true that PPP in 70 won b/c of young `chknae` larke who pulled in girls & women votes.

In India during 70s Indira Gandhis Youth Congress under Sanjay `loafer` Gandhi also played the sex card by employing boys & girls in the campaign.


Tidbit actually touches upon a very valid point that to a adolescentgirl what is important .With 70% of adult people disintersted inpolitics why would a girl vote BUT IF A YOUNG CUTE BOY ASKED HER TO IN MERE MEHBOOB ANDAZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our Landlord System...Good or Bad?

Our Landlord System...Good or Bad?

Obviously it is BAD bad bad .


The increased or ``effecient`` [roduction that you quote as a Good thing in the beginning is at he cost of forced labour much like slavery .

I wish instead of poetry you had entertained some possible solutions.

I know land reform in China distributed the lands to peasents.Without mechanised farming like in U.S.A. you cant have rich landlords doing there own farming as in U.S.A.

A pakistani landlord is only a Lord eating out of the labour of `forced` labour .Oh yes they get paid but who has the final say .Stop this exploitation 54 yrs after independence.The British left in good FAITH ,dont lose the faith by keeping 90% of population still in Chains .Release them before you talk of religion islam & Kashmir .

And you are extolling the same( what you harshly cricised muslims of doing : quoting western works to support there point of view.)

WE never crticised you just for quotingGora or west in fact we think they are better than fundamentalist Wallia ,Arun Shourie ,Varsha Bhosle ,Srinivasan ,Malhotra,Kak ,Rao ...and others.that spew hate instead of erudition & should carry mandataory warning like on Cigarettes & prescription drugs.

I agree with you fully .

Its better to talk in terms of verifiable consistent facts than in endless discussion on religion ,philosophy ,policy ,democracy ,politics with nothing to prove by .

Atleast most of what is written is verifiably true & one would be hard pressed argue against it .Remember i never said ALL.

Read near the end of the article to get to the RAW agent part. Is this for real or is this going to be a standard line to justify involving FBI agents in raids within Pakistan?

World: FBI agents join raid on refugee camp in Pakistan

Copyright © 2002 AP Online

By PAUL HAVEN, Associated Press

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (October 8, 2002 4:30 p.m. EDT) - Pakistani commandos and FBI agents raided a refugee camp Tuesday, arresting a man they said was linked to a renegade Afghan commander. Elsewhere, police detained at least five men accused of working with rival India to sabotage upcoming parliamentary elections.

More than 100 black-clad anti-terrorist police stormed the remote Shamshatoo refugee camp in northwest Pakistan and arrested Khan Mohammed, an Afghan that authorities say was head of security for warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

Hekmatyar`s Hezb-e-Islami group is opposed to the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, has called for a ``holy war`` against America and warned of stepped up terrorist attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Four other men - three Pakistanis and an Afghan whom authorities identified as Afsar Khan - also were arrested at the refuge camp.

All were being questioned about a series of attacks in Pakistan on Western and Christian targets. They include a June car bombing outside the U.S. Consulate in Karachi that killed 12 Pakistanis, and the killings last month of seven Christian charity workers.

Authorities say they also want to question the men about two attacks in August near Islamabad - one on a Christian missionary school and the other against a Presbyterian hospital.

At least 37 people have been killed and about 100 injured in acts of violence against Christians and Westerners in recent months. About 3.8 million Christians - some 2.5 percent of the population - live in Pakistan, which is 96 percent Muslim.

Meanwhile, authorities said they arrested at least five men accused of links to India`s intelligence agency, called the Research and Analysis Wing or RAW, accused of plotting to sabotage Thursday`s parliamentary elections.

The elections are the first for Pakistan since a 1999 coup by President Gen. Pervez Musharraf ended democratic rule.

Police in Rawalpindi, just outside the capital, paraded three of the men before journalists, and displayed weapons - including 40 pounds of plastic explosives, pistols and hand grenades - seized when the men were arrested hiding under a bridge near Pakistani controlled Kashmir.

The men, all bearded and wearing black blindfolds, were taken out of an armored police vehicle in a courtyard at the local police station, as machine-gun toting security forces looked on from overhead.

``Our intelligence agencies have arrested some terrorists who had been sent to Pakistan by the Indian (spy agency) RAW with explosive material and live bombs in order to carry out attacks on polling stations,`` Information Minister Nisar Memon told The Associated Press.

Pakistan and India routinely accuse each other of fomenting violence, usually with little proof. Rawalpindi Police Chief Inayat Farooq said the men confessed to plotting bombings in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, and had given specific information about Indian officers who had instructed them to carry out the attacks.

``Yes, the Indian government is behind all of this,`` Farooq said. ``The Indians don`t want Pakistan to be a stable country.``

Also on Tuesday, police in the eastern city of Lahore said they had arrested two Pakistani men accused of working for India to plant bombs on election day in the eastern Punjab province.

The men were arrested in the border town of Kasur just after they crossed the Indian border and entered Pakistan, according to senior police official Javed Noor. Noor said both men had confessed.

In a manner very similar to the ballad ``looking for love in all the wrong places`` lost, confused, bewildered,dazed ,stunned, shocked, disoriented Aisha Fayazi Sarwari of all the places in the world , landed in the melting pot of USA .

What is her complaint .....she cant see the trees for the forest .She may be right all that she sees is NOT islam but unsure Aisha doesnt even has the foggiest idea of what it IS?I mean ISLAM

To be fair to literate & conscientious muslims who read the mandated ingredients pronted on every food container.. does Aisha prefer the illiterate Taleban, who consume without reading or wants secretly to sabotage USA food & drug Administration effort to educate the public .

Her ignorence is quiet blatant in listing a never heard of nor discovered chemical so far THIAMINE MONOSATURATES??????????????

New Delhi, Sept. 28: Within days of the assault on the Swaminarayan temple, the BJP has started counting its gains. And the assessment is that like Godhra and the carnage that followed, the attack on the Hindu ?symbol? will benefit the party electorally. .............
