Don't reply to this thread since no place called IoK exists. There is only PoK and the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. Would you respond to a claim about a fictional place like Narnia?

Good to know.

Recently Kashmiri athlete Arif Khan was the only one representing India in Winter Olympics at Beijing. China did not seem to have an issue with it. Earlier they used to staple visas or reject visas of Indian citizens from parts of India. Is China finally accepting Kashmir as integral part of...

We did. His name was Nehru.

Probably the song which defined her the most -

I didn't say Indian Muslims have issues with Parsis and other. I said the other way around. But OK.

Agreed on a societal level, there is a lot of hate. I want to mention something else. What has surprised me is not Hindu hatred for Muslims. But also other minorities hating them. I've met Parsis who number less than 200,000 and many I've interacted with are rabidly anti Muslim. Even...

Of course it is. Just like Ku Klax Klan and Jesus freaks in middle America can't take away from the secularism of the US - the same applies to India.

What do you mean?

Again @crixus - the Supreme Court has ruled that India was and remains a secular Republic since it became a Republic - this is the case...

My personal view on this matter is that religion by its very nature is meant to pure. Politics by its very nature is meant to be dirty. You mix something pure with dirty, then you aren't going to purify religion for sure!

This is historically inaccurate. Muslims did not get the country divided. A section of Muslims did. For every Jinnah, there was a Maulana Azad too. Even in Pakistan, there were the likes of Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, known as Frontier Gandhi who received India's highest civilian honor - The...

Being steamrolled by the Japanese and having to be rescued?

This is how it is in the real world anyway. Almost everyone has Muslim friends. Quite a few have family members which have married into each others' families as well.

Are they designated terrorists by the UN? Also, one can't call all Balochi people terrorists if they are fighting for their rights.

If they gave a cause that is just and valid like the Palestinian cause, there is no reason why India shouldn't give them moral and diplomatic support. The way I see it, it is often Muslim majority regions which are suffering - 1. Uighurs in China 2. Palestinians in the Middle East 3...

I don't condone loss of any life. My knowledge of the Balochi freedom movement is also limited. That being said, Pak keeps blaming India for festering trouble in Balochistan. But India doesn't share any border with this region. If Balochistan is an occupied province, what they do for their...
