Fatima Bhutto Fighting for Justice #97 by majumdar

Maybe more reminiscent of a prominent Indian "freedom fighter" whose prison terms consisted mainly of rent free stay in Agha Khan's palace

Majumdar bhai, how many times was Gandhi imprisoned at the Agha Khan palace and how many times at other prisons? Of his total stay in prisons, how many days were spent at the Agha Khan palace? Please enlighten me.

If you do not know the answer to this, then it would be worthwhile to exercise a little more discretion.

Twenty 20 Cricket If Cricket is to become popular amongst the Europeans and Americans, it will have to be 20-20. Anything longer than that and it won't take off.

Paki men would be pleased to be thought of as Casanovas!!!

Majumdar bhai, I've given reasons as to why I think so. But if Paki men take it too seriously, their womenfolk would have to flee east of the Radcliffe Line because men love to be Casanovas but which woman would want her man to be one and prey on any other woman?

It is certainly unfair to equate womanising with wife beating.

Majumdar bhai, it is my view and my view alone. I'm not asking anyone to agree with it. I was just using that as an example to show zee how stereotyping people based on a few samples is foolish.

Now you're getting even funnier. What's banging Western women got to do with beating them up? (unless they ask of-course which is not that unusual either.)

To me, the idea behind womanizing and wife-beating (okay add GF-beating to that) is the same: to have, possess and control women. Its perhaps a matter of perspective: you look for differences and I look for similarities. But I hope you got the point I was trying to make vis-a-vis Romair's post.

BTW, you're quite a simpleton when it comes to these matters.

Guilty as charged.

When a Knock at the Door is Not Enough #125 by zeemax

Haha ... abuse now.

Ouch! Sorry if that hurt, but never thought that someone who abuses people as a matter of habit would be so touchy about something as harmless as the word I used.

Anyway, the answer is yes! Western men treat their women like garbage and they love it.

Yaar you have openly confessed to how you've banged women of various nationalities and ethnicities. If someone were to use you as anecdotal evidence and extrapolate it to the wider Paki male population, they would conclude that all Paki men are like you. However I won't do that. That is what my beef is with Romair's post. Do you understand that now?

When a Knock at the Door is Not Enough #121 by zeemax

Why didn't she leave him?

Anecdotal evidence counts for nothing and you know that.

That said, the reason is that contrary to the general belief here, women in the west are women too and not sluts as most people (especially in the subcontinent) would like to believe. Once in a relationship, it is tougher for women to walk out of it than it is for men.

Bhoots (esp of undesirable people) ain't allowed to become chowk members.

There you go Majumdar bhai! See, it took just a couple of posts for you to do the exact opposite of what you were saying earlier :-P

I Spy Hindutva #124 by majumdar

To tell you the truth I dont think I have abused anyone on chowk (hopefully).

Majumdar bhai, Bapuji is asking if he isn't a part of Chowk? ;-)

30 Days in Afghanistan - Dinner Conversations #43 by Cobra

Is 2.5 billion enough for you. Life has been procreating for last two billion plus years, according to modern science.

Cobra yaar, men must have been drinking for about the same period too, don't you think?

When a Knock at the Door is Not Enough #119 by zeemax

The difference is it is harder for a woman to leave an abusive husband than leaving an abusive boyfriend. But some of them still DON'T.

If you read Romair's post carefully, you will notice how he gloats at how bad women have it in the west, while Paki women are basking in the shadows of their benign husbands. If you honestly think that's not the case, I will try to reply to your question.

I hope that you were just pointing out to Romair what an idiot he is, and this is not about who is better (even if it is relatively). . . .

Ana, this is NOT about who is better. I'm absolutely mad at how Romair uses an isolated (or maybe a few) incident(s) to prove how men in Pakistan are better. I've used the same stereotype of men in Pakistan as he was using of men and abused women in the west. I hope by using his anecdote, I would be able to get to him. Being beaten by a family member or a boyfriend, what difference does it make to the woman at the receiving end? Is one better than the other?

This defensiveness on the part of some of you men here is somewhat typical.

Thanks! The usage of the word "some" makes it so much better than it would have been otherwise.

When a Knock at the Door is Not Enough #109 by bulleya

......having heard all such stories.....i still think pakistani men - at least the ones who have had some exposure - are still relatively good husbands.......

Whenever I went to a certain part of Canada where a certain Paki airforce ex-employee landed after being kicked out by his employers, I used to stay with him. He used to be so badly bashed up by his wife that it was difficult to believe that in this day and age, men can be so meek and submissive. If it had happened in Pakistan, it wouldn't be so hard for me to believe. So what if this guy had to bend over backwards at home? At least outside it, he could pretend that he was a real macho man and since Pakistan is such a male-dominated society, no one would even suspect the horror that was going on inside the four walls of his home, kinda like Josef Fritzl led a normal life even though he had confined his daughter to a dungeon in his basement.

After I saw this incident, I think Indian men are lucky, so what if they're nagged incessantly by their wives/girlfriends? At least they don't get beaten up like my friend used to.

AFAIK, Shandana is a Christian. BTW, why are you picking on her?

Hopefully not MAJ (pbuh)

Don't think Jinnah was capable of that. He was so full of himself that he wouldn't recognize greatness in others even if his life depended on it.

Race to the Finish #758 by majumdar

There is one canard about Gandhi that you may want to dispel. That he was a Mahatma.

Majumdar bhai, did you notice I never called him that? And do you know that Gandhi didn't give himself that name?
