    Certainly its not typical Pakistan perspective (which he himself criticizes a lot). Overall pretty well done job and I have little to add to ~ 90% of it. He puts a lot of blame on Ayub Khan correctly for what was allowed to forment in that period versus the original vision Jinnah had (and he...

    Is "India" used in any notable prevalence in Turkish language compared to "Hindistan" out of interest?

    Yah camels are robust animals so are great for border patrol duty where its desert/brush environment. That is their main legacy and also ongoing presence in Indian military/police forces. Other than that they have a caravan/traveller legacy in India....so we have seen them even in deep south...

    I have read these reports too, its very concerning for sure. Let us hope and pray that such a thing will never happen, at least until point BD becomes developed enough in its city infra quality etc to make it a far lesser issue.

    Yeah you only get a sense of just how truly big they are when you are near one......you can certainly start to think (especially if its male) it could pick you up and end you at any moment.... however well trained/friendly it is....the raw capacity is always there. Males (especially in wild...

Gold jewellery, ostentatious costumes, make up, nail polish....he lost his marbles in the latter half basically....along with the weird eccentric stuff he got into like you describe.

    Demographically, India+Bangladesh will have a better time longer term than China, given what China did way too drastically and now has to handle its inverted population pyramid for this century (the problems are just commencing now on that). India and BD should try keep their TFR around 2 as...

    Mugabe had very westernized look and talk to him (listen to his interviews etc, its very upper class education English) most of the time though. iirc he always went for English breakfast each day, he had all kind of idiosyncracies that were odds with say some kind of Shona culture revival (like...
