    Chinese elements in Tokyo Olympics, Chinese gold medalist girls wear Chinese traditional style outfit cheered at home

    In the democratic, civilized world there are very limited restrictions on free speech. You can check with the Chinese refugees living in India. If China were a civilized nation, it wouldn't have unleashed a pandemic on the world by eating bats. By all means, make one.

    Chinese elements in Tokyo Olympics, Chinese gold medalist girls wear Chinese traditional style outfit cheered at home

    Let me clear it up since you seem confused. Chinese are insecure in general. In the civilized world, anyone can speak about the matter related to the thread.

    Chinese elements in Tokyo Olympics, Chinese gold medalist girls wear Chinese traditional style outfit cheered at home

    When has India or Indian members compared itself with Pakistan in the Olympics? It's as absurd as India comparing itself to Syria or Libya or some other such state. If they do it, it's wrong - it's schadenfreude to compare India with a nation which lives off IMF doles and global aid. Sliver? Do...

    Consulates open for three reasons. If large number of that country's citizens live in that city and its vicinity, if that city is a large source of visa seekers for migration / tourism and if it happens to be a major city in the host country. No place in J&K, Ladakh tick any of these boxes. No...

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

The Nazis often used the example of American treatment of African-Americans and Native Americans to justify their racial...

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    The more common British term is whataboutery. It's not a muzzling tactic because people who indulge it double down and defend it, even amplify their argument. It's just calling out a tactic.

    Live Conflict War in Afghanistan

    Not really. When one can't argue about the issue, they bring completely unrelated issues into reference. E.g. What possibly could LTTE have to do with the Taliban? Or the IRA have to do with the Taliban? Or indeed with this thread.

    Mere survival while losing your territory, self-respect and sucking up to a USA / China / Saudi for money and arms is not resilience. It's a necessity.

    Consulates are in major cities - Bombay, Madras, Bangalore, Calcutta, Hyderabad. India had stopped giving the UN Mission any credibility after Shimla Accord. They just sit and Netflix and chill on the Indian side.

    It is my suggestion to @Nilgiri that there be a separate sticky thread for all PoK related issues so that there aren't multiple threads.

    India on Thursday rejected the recent elections in PoK which were won by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, saying the "cosmetic exercise" was nothing but an attempt by Pakistan to "camouflage its illegal occupation" and that it has lodged a strong protest over the issue.

    Casual Discussion Has anyone here been vaccinated against the coronavirus ?

    When I got Dose#1, the gap between 2 doses of Astra Zeneca was 28 days. That inept Modi increased it to 84 days. I have a slot in 2 days' time. Hopefully, that brings an end to this Covid nightmare.

    Whataboutism - a conversational tactic in which a person responds to an argument or attack by changing the subject to focus on someone else’s misconduct, implying that all criticism is invalid because no one is completely blameless
