Further, one does not have to tell you what the progeny out of wedlock is called- haraam ki aulaad or if you do not understand Hindustani, it is baas tard, what would like to be called?

Mr Ghazanavi`s left ball, if you go back tracing your lineage, more likely than not you will learn that you are the product of the rape of some hapless Hindu woman ( who would be your great great great great great great grand mother) by the marauding raiders who you claim to represent. So just take it easy with claiming to be Ghazanavi`s kinsman and have your system analysed for cow urine content and be happy with your Hindu origins, you will be at peace with yourself.
Just a Woman
Posted by muqaddam Jun 6, 2007 06:25 am
The subcontinent has a long way to go before men stop seeing women as sex objects. Due to social norms and restrictions which forbid familiarity between the sexes, the average male is usually so frustrated that proximity to a member of the opposite sex often brings out the libidinous in him. For now it is the woman has to be careful how she dresses and moves so as not to attract unwarranted attention form the male species.

The list of 109 appointments obviously is in addition to the hundreds of lucrative appointments within the armed forces like station commanders, garrison, sub area and area commanders where army brass is lording it over the civilians.
With so much of loot, no wonder Mushy has got his miltry constituency backing him to the hilt.
Pakistan is caught between two devils, mullahs on the one side, wanting their writ to run across the daily life of the citizen and the miltry on the other, having tasted blood in form of loot from the nation`s coffers, wanting to continue ruling the country, both conveniently raising the bogey of India and dangers to Islam to keep the citizen`s quest for freedom under check.
Nothing short of a revolution can change the state of affairs in Pakistan
Search for the Missing in Action

Sopore has always been the centre of a rabid anti India movement in the valley. Even in the peaceful period from `71 to `89, anti-India feeling was always very high in this apple town where separatist elements held sway. Army vehicles had strict instructions to avoid the town, so all army convoys from Srinagar to Drugmulla, Kupwara and other areas were diverted to proceed via Baramulla.
No massacres of unarmed civilians can be condoned, but if it was in Sopore, there must be more to it that what the TIME magazine says of the incident.

Interesting, indeed! leave to the imagination of the viewer what the face under the hijab reflects - joy, happiness, satisfaction or what have you, very original way of advertising one`s wares, one must say!
Pakistan – The Threat From Within
Posted by muqaddam Jun 1, 2007 01:53 am
With every article Hood(lum) Bhai gets staider.
Over the last sixty years, initially the miltry and then the miltry-mulla combine have played havoc with the Pakistani state.
As it is, Pakistan as a country is an artificial creation with no history as a nation state, no real raison d`etre except common religious denomination of the population which in any case is is a grouping of disparate nationalities. Nothing has been learnt from the `71 debacle.
Any sane leadership would have put development of the country into a nation state on priority allowing federal democracy to flower.
But the M-M combine followed skewed policies and worked overtime to thrust shariah down the throats of the population which otherwise was quite comfortable with the Indian ethos with which it is at home.
`Hate India` has been the corner stone of Pakistan`s foreign policy, raising cain whenever there were disturbances involving Muslim population in India, discrediting India in all international fora , interfering in J&K. The biggest foreign policy blunder was Afghanistan (and Hamid Gul`s Taliban) policy, it has landed in the lap of Pakistan 3 million Afghan refugees who over the years have taken away a lot of jobs from its own citizens and will now refuse to go away, gained some sympathy and arms from the Mricans, only to be dumped by them when their purpose was served and who later even threatened to bomb Pakistan into stone age. The policy has also not taken Pakistan an inch closer to its avowed dream of annexing J&Kand has a new adversary on its Western border.
No wonder Pakistan is at crossroads, with few friends even among Muslim nations most of whom accuse Pakistan of being a source of terrorism that threatens their own states and even fewer friends among its own provinces.
However all is not lost. What is required is kicking out Mushy the NRI to the barracks, demullafying the body politic of the country and letting real democracy bloom.
India is such a diverse country, with several ethnic populations, different languages, different religions, mind boggling economic disparity, but what holds the country together is its strong democracatic fibre which allows the country to weather all storms, every time coming out more confident as a nation state. Maybe there is something to learn there for budding Pakistani politicians.
What Next After Karachi’s Carnage?

Hood(lum) Bhai who has distinguished himself through his staid writing must be patting himself on back and wondering as the number of interacts approaches the magic figure of 1000. Unfortunately, the interaction is nothing but an intra-pak pow-wow with Pakistanis of all hues going for each other`s jugular daring, abusing, accusing, alleging, indicting, proving superior knowledge of Islam, Qur`an, disparaging.......
Quite naturally, one feels, after all that might be the shape of things to come after the Karachi carnage.
However, rf786, tahmed32, hamidm2 need to be complimented for their balanced, sober and studied interactions.

Re: # 728

Unfortunately the scene keeps repeating on the subcontinent, be it DTU city buses in Delhi or a jalsa in Pakistan, the sex starved male is always looking for an opportunity to paw a woman. It is a fact of daily life and there is no avoiding it.

It is wrong to presume that the woman in the clip is enjoying it. What would any woman do in a similar case? Take the mike in her hand and anounce that her modesty was being outraged? She would have probably done what any sensible person would, just ignored the event and moved on.

As for men in Delhi are concerned, the wife of a one time chancellor of Santiniketan University remarked that you have to travel on DTU buses to see what jaanwars they are.

Methinks the female in the clip realised what the guy on her right was upto, looked down, betrayed a shocked look which could not be seen fully as the clip ends abruptly. As for the gropers, it is a safe bet that they would have later mastah-bated several times over reliving their exploit.
An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court Justices

Re: # 35

We all would like to agree with you, there is no doubt that the soldier standing at -50C on Siachen is following his orders and expects little more than a life of honour and dignity, but how long does the greed take to percolate to the junior ranks when corps commanders, div commanders and brigade and garrison commanders start lining their pockets and cornering premium land acreages? The malaise seeps down the chain of command, no doubt.
An Appeal to Honourable Supreme Court Justices

A sincere appeal obviously made by somebody of sound mind and with a lot of love for democracy, will it reach the judges and will they seize the moment and accelerate the permanent consignment of the fattened-on-public-money arrogant faujis to the barracks, that`s the question.

Obviously the photo has been taken from the archives, the khaki uniform is a dead give away that the man who is being carried off is a Pak Ranger.
Talking Tall on Human Rights
Posted by muqaddam May 18, 2007 11:25 am
India`s spokesmen do very well in these world fora waxing eloquent on human rights, but closer home the common cotizen is far from really enjoying these rights.
Police brutality, corrupt judiciary, goonda politicians. that`s the face of human rights for you in India.
God save the common man who happens to even innocently land on the wrong side of the law, he gets looted by the police, the judge wont spare him the pound of flesh and the goonda politician is always there to threaten him with the muscle power.
A country whose politicians grow fat on stolen public money and political parties which select criminals as representatives in the highest law making bodies better stop riding the high horse in the international arena and pay more attention closer home so that the population may live with some dignity
