Thank you for finding something positive about Pakistan. Pakistan like Bosnia is faced with swarms but still standing. At some point I will visit your country - maybe summer 2021 in a post covid world.

Oh good. Thought you had the cross hairs on me. I will pick up on this thread later.

Well, I will add a infantile "lol" as well and state that India has been the biggest begger on the US soup kitchen then any other country. You can slip and give your rendition all you like. And how are the 300 million Dalit's enjoying their "stability and freedoms".

I take a contrary view. Non religious societies [I was born/brought in UK] focus on the mundane. Jobs, living conditions, housing, education and all other aspects of life that appeal to the temporal. When religions enters the public space societies get trapped in the realm of hereafter and...

If that is a dig at me then let me place the record clear. The only Indians I have ever had any respect fopr is Sikhs. They indeed are men. I have spent time with them in UK. With regards to the vast mass of 1.4 billion I have nothing but contempt. I don't get dazzled by a few pick of 1.4...

Mmmmm very true unlike India. At $65 bn, India biggest recipient of US economic aid over 1946-2012 period: USAID https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/at-65-bn-india-biggest-recipient-of-us-economic-aid-over-1946-2012-period-usaid/100848/...

I am forced by shear weight of facts to accept that India is way more stable then Pakistan. I mean way more. Pakistan cannot possibly match even one stabilizing force that India has. That force? Having over 25% of it's population or nearly 300 million [population of USA] in state of inhuman...

"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". Karl Marx. The fact is religion sedates the masses. While the masses focus on after-life the elites focus on this-life.

This sounds like a cat that was mauled by the tiny mouse but eventually chased the mouse away. Then declared that as victory of victories hahaha !!!

I would have prefered if the books covered the following subjects - how to make cars how to build motorways basics of town planning road safety for general public etc But never mind after-life takes precedence.

Not really.

So you want India to grab all the gravy train and think that is great but clearly not for Pakistan. The bit about paying your bills also applies to India. GCC remittances to India are far greater than Pakistan.# And from my perspective the recent events which have seen tension in the GCC and...

How an obscure Turkish scientist’s obscure theoretical breakthrough helped the Chinese tech giant gain control of the future. US telecoms never had a chance. Illustration: MOJO WANG “The city of Shenzhen in July. The weather is hot, the trees brimming with life … ” So begins the baritone...

Probably the greatest football player ever is no more. RIP. I actually have a Diego shirt and Argentina jacket in his honour. It was back in 1980s that this pocket rocket came to my attention. Football legend Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players of all time, has died at the age of 60...

People forget this is what made the British Empire formidable. The old style geopraphy alliances from Medieval ages are out sync with modern world. Technology today has shrunk the globe. This fact is what has been latched on to by British elites. If played right the world can be yours. If not...

Nice idea and unlike @Nilgiri I think this could float. Essentialy it would be reworking of the British Empire v.02. With regards to the point about trade flows being with USA [Canada] and Europe [UK] I agree geography has it's own logic. But don't forget the trade flows you see today are the...

I can understand that. After couple of years best of marriages became staid. You don't get the samew rush and eyes begin to rove. So a Russian model will do wonders for your one eyed jack. Not saying cheating is good or making a moral judgement. Just thinking aloud ...

Very true. I know some who fit this category from UK. Older guys with money out to get a Ukranian or Russian model.

I would argue differantly. I think it's not case of Pakistan being 'lawless' but rather that we have "societies" and not one society that you imply. That is where the problem is and everything else is the symptom. A state rules with [1] monopoly over force and [2] assent. The proportion of each...

Mmmm ..... fair point.
