^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	So according to you IIT kanpur's undergraduate program
is at par with Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, Darthmouth,
Caltech, Oxford, Cambridge etc. Would you like to provide some
reference to this claim, or is this another one of those "we-are-
from-iit-so-whatever-we-say-must-be-right" claims

But, you used the word 'contradiction'. In the past you have always 
ommited to look the thing like that. The Kashmir issue and in the
follow up of Urdu article you have always maintained your view point
as The supporters of Kashmiri independence are part of Pan-Islamic
supporter. 


By default, you have assumed that a Muslim's support to KAshmir
issue has to deal with Pan-Islamic Idealogy.

None of my posting was in the Support of Islamic Idealogy.
It was always on the Secular basis.

Since you are follwing my all aricles, you should look my articles on
Scp too. There is one article on Hyderabad. You will come to know the
facts which I support and the things you take for granted.

You will say that I ignored your posting as the contradiction between
JKLF terrorism and Gandhi's non-violence.

Yes,I did.

I've fallen and I can't get up! Sure, sure, every one falls. And most
of them get up. Some don't, of course. So is there a point to the
saying `I've fallen and I can't get up.' Nope. Not to me. Or to anyone
who can easily see that there is nothing called world culture. There
is something called shit all over the world. But not culture; at least
not as uniformly as you think. 

I for one wonder if Dr. McCarthy had to ever leave Stanford for any
reason. Because he seems to use computer so adeptly, like most of us,
and at his age travel is not a perk. It is only natural that his mind
wanders into the eastern realm and his fingers do the talking,
walking, exploring and the whole shebang of pretending to understand
eastern culture. I've met Dr. James Crick, in India, when I was
studying in a Junior College near Nagarjuna Sagar, where a budhist
monastery was preserved in a museum. I thought the Nobel Laureate had
a lot of things in common with Indians, and least of all culture. For
instance, in his speech, he did not blow his nose even once. He
neither snuffed his nose with tobacco powder nor did he make any
reference to Gandhi, Nehru or Indira Gandhi. I can't imagine Dr.
McCarthy ever being in that situation--addressing a bunch of Indian
junior college kids. Even if he were to be addressing them, I can't
imagine those poor kids enduring through his circumscription--that
critter is not part of Indian culture either.


All things said, what is common between world-order and world-culture?
Guns? First, George Bush hasn't invented these words. Second, their
uncommon roots: order and culture are still not realized in any single
society or culture in any nation; nor even in American single family
homes, divorced homes, suburban homes, gangs, universities,
corporations, congress, white house, wall street; they all persist
because of chaos and anti-culture all around and in some cases like
congress, the chaos is within--especially when they filibuster or fart
through their mouths. Worse still, even decent social conduct and
manners are disappearing, like letting your neighbor go without a law
suit if he attempted to rape someone in your house--even for a moment
that someone were to be a bitch, until they are all part of the
tumultuous tumbler tossing turds in giant washing machines whose
in-out water lines have been connected to some of the longest and
widest perennial sewers such as Mississippi, Amazon and the lesser
known ones.

Hell, we, meaning those of us who don't think we are worldly cultured
humans and don't believe in world culture, haven't even evolved
properly. So those who want to pound on their chests about world
culture, only to project theirs as truly the world culture discounting
everything else in my opinion, can go to a zoo and start watching apes
and chimps to learn more about why they pound on their chests.

On an interesting note, though on a different matter, some Americans here have
complained that they cannot take their wives or daughters to India without being
a little bit apprehensive. It seems almost all female members of their group had
very bad experiences on Indian markets or buses, they soon learned to take taxis
and avoid going into even remotely crowded places. This complaint was mainly
voiced in the north, though cities like Bangalore were also some spots where
they had trouble. Some were frankly disgusted and wanted to return immediately.
I wonder how long it is before Embassies start issuing warnings about this 
behaviour by our randy countrymen :-). 

Nath.

PS Apparently our dear countrymen thought that the ladies were purposely 
exposing themselves as an invitation. :-)

   Just look at this.
   When the Americans fought their British rulers , it came to be called the  
   War/Revolution for Independence.
   And when the Indians did the same , it was called the Indian MUTINY!!
   As if Indians had no right to be their own rulers!

   Brij Dehiya.

If the Indian Mutiny had been successful it would have been called the
Indian War of Independence, and if the American War of Independence
had failed it would have been called the American Mutiny - or rather,
since Americans in the British Army weren't involved, the American
Rebellion.  

The winners choose the names.

To take a more recent example, since the British won, the islands
are the Falklands.  Had Argentina won, all the maps today would show
the Malvinas.
