Please desist from comparing the Non Resident Pakistanis with assholes:

	1. it is unkind to the resident and nonresident assholes.

	2. Since no such connection has been established, it is unfair to
	   the Non Resident Pakistanis to apply to them criteria which have
	   no applicability to them.
	
	3. It is generally inappropriate for this prudish newsgroup to use
	   such language and if Mr.Asthana is sufficiently peeved, it may be

std. disclaimer  I hope this does not violate Mr.Asthana's code of ethics.

DECLARATION OF SYMPATHY

I JK express sympathy for the riot victims in my mother land Bharat. I
urge the Bharatiya Government take strong actions against all the
rioters.

Mr ASHISH ARORA
If you are not aware. These pseudo seculars and Communists are not even
ready to acknowledge the sufferings of Half a million HIndus. They deny
that 40 Hindu temples were ever destroyed. If you think I am lying ask
these hypocrites. This negation of Hindu suffering enrages me more. Not
their selective help of Muslims alone. The Government of your country
and mine also, has given rs 2 lakhs to riot victims. These bastards
Sharad Pawar, PVN Rao, VP Singh, Jyoti Basu have not even visited the
refugee camps of HIndus. Forget offering them a single rupee. This is
nothing but vote bank appeasement. You tell me why has not a single
leader (except the BJP) visited these camps. Arent they victims of
terrorism. Is BEING A HINDU SUCH A CRIME IN OUR SECULAR COUNTRY.
Shame on all of you.

President of India is a "dodo"...has no powers, makes no

Its a pretty stupid setup if you ask me. President of
India lives in a Palace built for a King ("Vice-Regal")
Should he be living more modestly considering the grinding
poverty all around him. MK Gandhi wanted the Presidential
Palace turned into a childerns development centre/hospital.
He also suggested to Nehru/Patel to get off their high-horse

Congress would have the unfair advantage over "startup"

Why not Israel is also a nation like Pakistan,  Iran etc.

Moreover, we do have  some  similar historical experiences.

I've always wondered why Muslims around the world hate Israel so much.  Could you
explain that? As far as I know the problems exist only with  adjoining countries and

	It's a mistake to think that one has to go to the battlefields to show his

	take recourse to one of those ways and support those soldiers in all
	possible MEANS.  Without those millions of Americans backing the President's

	they were today. Look at the situation now. They can get away by bombing

	that confidence that they have the public support.  Revolution has never been
	peaceful in the history. " E desha charitra choosina emunnadi garva kaaranam,...
	..,Sri Sri".  It's unfortunate that nationalism and fundamentalism have come
	to be used interchangeably by us and our irresponsible press for a very long
	time to live in our illusory world.

	Secular atmosphere of the west: Recently when Bill Clinton took the oath, 
	keeping his left hand on the Bible, nobody branded him as a fundamentalist.
	If that can be considered a nationalistic act, why so much hue and cry when
	Indian speaks of hinduism? Let's stop this nonsense and try to understand
	the people's behavior and needs. We need more freedom, liberty, expression
	of thought to our mass from intellectuals with integrity in India, and around. 
	On the top of it, frenzied economic expansion, humane values ....
