Dhokha and Being a Muslim in India
(the indian children's book flaunting hindu crap)
Obviously you didnt care to read enuff Indian children's book. The likes of Amar Chitra Katha glorify India's Muslim heritage as well. If you ever come to India I will gift you a few copies on people like Akbar, Sher Shah Suri, Razia Sultan, Chand Bibi etc.

I think history books can and should inculcate a bit of pride in heritage without resorting to lies or jingoism.

these people" were some lost souls that had nothing whatsoever to do with us as individuals, let alone our possible ancestors.
Given Pak insecurity vis-a-vis India, that is understandable.

it is all done very begrudgingly and dispassionately with no pride involved.
Well, at least better than being completely overlooked.

Does Pakistan school/college history books cover pre- 712 history or as the Indian detractors say completely avoids all mention of pre- 712.

For example, is there a more popular book for Hindus in North India than Tulsidas's Ramayan? And this Ramayan was written during the Mughal period. Kabir, Surdas, Meera were all writing during the Mughal rule.
I have actually pointed this out to Nkg moshai but in his opinion all that was written in this period- is basically small stuff compared to Kalidas, Tagore et al.

For once, Guruji is right -400 crores is 4 billion. 40 million is 400 lakhs.
I assume you are familiar with the origins of the term "bharat".
I believe it is named after King Bharat, son of Dushyant and Shakuntala. Do you have a different explanation?

I am not asking you to sell them, merely exchange them. Our Commies and mullahs hate being Indians and you guys hate your Q-cumbers. Win win for both sides!
(we just can't have enough of the Deobandis,why would we want more of the same merchandise?)
Why not? These guys are truest Muslims, no?

(But if I were to give them to India, I would not be showing love for your country but rather animosity!)
What is considered good or bad for a nation may be different for different countries/societies.
Let me make an offer to you what I have already made to Zee sahib. You give us your Mirzaees, murtids and Ao Paos to us and we can give you our commies and mullahs in return.

If you love people who downgrade English, you can take them to Pakistan and give you English speakers to us in exchange. Deal?

Re: 214
Pakistan's road to ruin was started by civil servants who subverted the rule of politicians and invited the Pak Army into governance. Pak Army faithfully carried out the task that was assigned to it.
I guess there is no point in attributing Pak's difficulties to any particular ethnicity or region.
