    India India - Pakistan Relations

    I understand that. I am not asking about what the discussions were. I wonder if on the ground, in the general population there has been some acceptance that Pak can't expect or ask India to change its Constitution. Or would such a decision be extremely unpopular and against the grain of public...

    Dominion of India assumed all debts and liabilities of British India. All. A successor inherits both - assets and liabilities. Anyway, I haven't mentioned Pak in this thread. I guess @GoatsMilk has. Where is he from?

A lot of reforms were incorporated not least being the end of Zamindari. Also, rearranging states on linguistic...

    India Coffee House

    I think the larger point here is that everyone at some point in history would come up with some historical wrong their ancestors suffered. To quote Lincoln, "Nearly all men can stand adversity. If you want to test a man's character give him power." Simply because those in power can make...

    I have nothing against him. I assume @crixus means well. As far as the discourse is civil, a little disagreement is par for course.

    Yes, I am sure the Judge is aware of - Places of Worship Act 1991 which explicitly prohibits any alteration to any religious structure which existed on 15th August 1947 in India. It also specifically excludes the Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Mosque land. It's always good to know the law. And let's...
