Re: # 73
I think you should better thank your lucky stars that this happened in India and not in US or UK. In no other country he would be walking free so soon after the incident.

dharma is more about truth and moral righteousness than faith. faith is overrated, makes you blind, deaf and dumb when used indiscriminatley, like believing in one man and one book over reason.

Sure. I did not mean to say only pakistanis need to be investigated. I assumed all the guests that were in that hotel would be part of the investigation naturally. As long as he was questioned and cleared i can keep some faith in the police.

Whatever way you look at it, this is a shining example of incompetency of indian police. A pakistani guest at the Taj missing during the siege that was not even questioned!

and besides it was not the police that came for your grandson, it was your grandson who went voluntarily. Look at the callousness of the investigation. You can imagine what would happen in US if such a thing happened here.

zeezah, I have nothing against your grandson. It is good that everything turned out ok and a nice person is let go without any trouble. But imagine a pakistani citizen that you dont know anything about in mumbai claiming that his cellphone was lost right after the terrorist attacks and the police taking the complaint without any further investigation and not asking him to stay in the country until the investigation is complete. I am just disappointed at the security measures in the country even after all these attacks. I dont know when we will get good at this.

I really cant understand why no one here talks about the complete dereliction of duty by investigators here. To let go a pakistani citizen who was a guest during the attack, without any questioning is unthinkable in any investigation. Only justification i can come up with is they were paid off by the well places people Ahmad knows. This makes me wonder how many terrorists or their accomplices were let go.
Pleas For Sanity as Sabres Rattle Over Mumbai Mayhem

"dharma says modi shouldnt be punished when people who were part of the mob were not, so by this logic no one will get punished where as the leaders who facilitated and instigated like thakarey, with out whom the mobs and police would not have dared do anything as morarji desai and laloo showed, it is more important that they get punishment to prevent leaders in the future from doing the same"

If a individual assumes that some politician is going to protect him and commits a crime it does not absolve him from that crime. As an adult he should take responsibility for what he did and get punished. Why should a politicain be tried for the crimes of the people in his constituency. By this logic all politicians in pakisan should be hanged for what their citizens are doing.

The police should lose their jobs for poor performance in a mob violence where they cant catch the perpetrators. Beyond that individual responsibility can not be skirted. If police are ineffective doesnt mean you get free ticket to kill and rape. That argument is almost like paki logic that it is not terrorist's fault but the lax security that is culprit.

If everytime mob goes on a rampage if a chief minister should be tried, who should be tried for Godhra? Who should be tried for Delhi Sikh massacre, Rajeev Gandhi? Or it only works when muslims are killed?

"Yes Modi and Thakre ought to be tried by a special court, not a military court. Same for Dawood and Madani.Yes Modi and Thakre ought to be tried by a special court, not a military court. Same for Dawood and Madani."

On What charges Modi should be tried? He did not incite the mobs nor sent memos to the police to stand and watch. If he asked for military in too late, that maybe because he did
not expect the situation to turn so bad and is a bad decision. But he cant be tried on that. Just try to come up with anything that he can be charged with under the legal framework before calling him mass murderer while the mobs that killed and raped are probably roaming free.
India-Pakistan: Empathy, grief in Pakistan for Mumbai mayhem

the triggers."


I wonder how many terrorists people like tahmed32 made with their insightful, briliant, fair minded interpretation of islam showing their humanistic face to the believers, making them believe and be proud to be be muslims and at the same time pointing out incidents like gujarat ad infinitum, without any sense of proportion to make the gullible uneducated people consumed with rage at the unfairness of it all.

The favorite stick tahmeds beat India with "Gujarat Riots"
had the following information reported by Congress Govt to the parliament.

The government told parliament that 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed in gujarat riots.

Where is the sense of proportion? How many of its own citizens did the punjab army kill in east bengal? And how many times tahmeds bring it up? Or how many kashmiri pundits were driven out of their homes and made refugees?
Once you lose this sense of proportion you can be brainwashed into believing anything. Monsters are made by cunning people like tahmeds. The monsters themselves maybe simple minded. The real culprit is the moderate muslim who is educated.

any historical significance...
You miss my point. Why should I care why they go. As long as it is interesting to people and they are going there at great cost, you already got a winner. I would only improve the experience and make it more convinient for them and market to other people who are not going there. Why are you so pendantic and judgemental? Are you a bengali communist?

Hi nkg,
Most of the economic activity involves attracting/coercing people to do something instead of sitting at home and do nothing and in the process sell them something. Why should I stop if some ancient site is doing that job? i would just make it prettier, make it more convininet to get there and sell mememntos and what not. your question is ridiculous. you can ask the samething of many things, like watching Taj Mahal or a lakers game.

what a moronic article. What is wrong in govt giving a little land to an entity that draws hundreds of thousands of tourists/pilgrims to the state benefitting the economy, and in maintaining a heritage site in good condition. State govts in south give free land to private companies that are already making billions of dollars in hopes they create some employment. That is just good governance and good use of tax dollars to create more opportunities.

She is not practicing freedom of choice. For that she has to be líberated first. She is aborting her female foetus to please her husband and his mother.

It has to be the decision of both to bring a child into this world or not, because it is their child together. It is called right to choice and is legal in most countries in the world. Anyway abortion is least of our problems. It is not a crime issue - it is political issue.


"As far as laws are concerned, they are not worth the paper they are written on unless enforced"

Dont give this silly argument. If enforcement is so difficult how come powerful personalities like Sunjay Dutt cant get out of jail. We have seen powerful politicians go down. Atleast you have a recourse to law, however long it takes
