``young man -- if left-to-leftists -- India-Pakistan will be like USA-CANADA -- it is the right`s right to DIVIDE -- that`s not right -- is the BIG problem...:-) ``
No Sir. If left to leftists, India-Pakistan will be like China and Mongolia. There will ofcourse be Hindu and Muslim unity. Both our skulls will be bleached in the sun a la Pol Pot. If we are lucky, we will share a bowl of gruel at a reducation camp for the middle class educated folks.
We may read about the right because it gets more publicity. But, in India, if you look at actual deaths and maimings, it is the Naxalites, the Maoists, People`s War Group etc that have claimed much more lives. The Leftist trail of blood starts in Eastern UP, goes to Bihar , Jharkhand, MP, Vidarbha, Parts of Andhra and is seeping through in Orissa. It is only in Bengal that a so called ``Communist`` government eradicated Naxalites by killing tens of thousands of young men in the countryside.
The Red Menace is alive and well in India. Unless free market reforms are undertaken on a war footing, and political and economic benefits start trickling down to the masses, India will face a danger that Nepal is facing right now.

``Seeing you conduct the Kashmir meeting recently in San Francisco I just wanted to
mention that you make many other South Asian`s proud. ``
:) This one makes Ras Siddiqui proud. La Roy makes Hamid Gul proud. What is it about leftists that they only make the other side proud? Maybe India and Pakistan can have Track 2 diplomacy to trade each others Leftists.

Dear Angana Chatterji,
I am very glad to find you writing here on CHOWK.
Seeing you conduct the Kashmir meeting recently in San Francisco I just wanted to
mention that you make many other South Asian`s proud.
Please continue to write here even though one feels that you have already been with us
for a while.
Ras

re: arjun-m # 150
Arjun, in the end we both agree that it is the ideals of terror, which are more dangerous than the acts of terror itself. Whether, they are taught in a madrassa or not, the problem is ideals and its indoctorination is more lethal than than the bombs or the killings.
Ciao

[``The time has come to ban all conversions and start a re-conversion movement in India``
I like that about you Harimau. You don`t beat about the bush do you? Unlike your buddy P-mishra2 who tries to project himself as a liberal humanist... eventhough I suspect the dream of `reconversion` of Muslims and Christians is close his heart too...]
Well, we need our Bhangis in India. We can`t use our highly educated Christians for that purpose -- unlike you guys who have the household work assigned to the Masseys in Pakistan. So we need to re-convert the Muslims and assign them the job of carrying our excrement.
Love.
Harimau

Stuka #162 It applies to all of us (self included) of course, since actions speak louder than words. The difference is between those whose words reflect their actions (as in your case, and I hope in mine too), and those whose words do not (whether it is rsaxena or arjun singing about the joys of the Good Ship India that they jumped, or naqshbandi going on about the muslim ummah, having jumped the Good Ship Pakistan, or urstruly in Detroit).
Anyway, God bless these fakes for all the fun they provide on chowk.

``these two (arjun, rsaxena) are in seventh heaven having escaped from india and made it to the usa. ``
Me too. I think that goes for the majority of Indians who have left India and live in the states.

saminasha #156 are you kidding? these two (arjun, rsaxena) are in seventh heaven having escaped from india and made it to the usa.
and, if they could stand their own kind, they would be on some hindutva board and not hanging around chowk trying to prove what a great country they escaped from.
