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!

Source	: UNI
Date	: Oct 1, 1992
                             * * * * *

The recent UN report has published India's map minus it's northern
state of Jammu and Kashmir on it's front cover.
	The UN report on integrating devlopment and population
planning in India while giving out various facts and figures about
India and its state is completely silent on J&K except a cursory
mention about its population says Col (Retd) Dharam Veer Kataria, secretary
general of international spiritual peace mission. 
	The report produced printed and published by the UN department of 
international economic and social affairs is also riven with glaring 
factual mistakes.
	It describes the Indian government as a Federal Republican form of
Government which is totally incorrect as India is a sovereign democratic
republic, Kataria said. He alleged that these descripanices could not
have been inadvertently printed and published by the UN.
	Kataria emphasized that depite Pakistan's persistent raising of
Kashmir issue every now and then, Kashmir remained an integral part of
India, a fact reiterated by the Indian govt time and again.
	Knowing this, it is amazing that the UN is still ignorant about
the facts, he regretted.
	Kataria said it appeared to be an attempt to question India's
legitimate rights over Kashmir.
	Meanwhile, the Indian premier Mr.P.V.Narasimha Rao, who is currently
visiting France made it absolutely clear to the French officials that 
Kashmir is non-negotiable as it is an integral part of India.

Brahmins never protected the only remaining vestiges of ancient
hindu india (namely the south).  It was the united courage and
brilliance of various warriors.  If you read any text on south
indian history that details the vijayanagara empire, you will
find that these warriors came from ALL castes-- not just
the kshatriyas (who obviosly, made up the majority).  To what
extant brahminism (NOT the brahmnana caste-people --- note the
difference) helped in preserving culture during time of
great danger, is debateable.  But, ofcourse, everone knows brahminism
was the cause of status-quo-ism during relatively peaceful times...

The question asked was why was the Qur'an given to a man who may
not be able to understand the physics, etc... The answer is that
the Holy Qur'an is not just given for one man but for all of mankind.

I invite you to read the Holy Qur'an for yourself and learn what it
is you would like to gain from it, for yourself.

Yes it is pointless, I would not believe otherwise.

You are again mistaken in the thinking that I am trying to convince someone
that I am right.  Asking such a question as why was Prophet Muhammed (SAW)
given the Holy Qur'an is the same as saying why is it a bueatiful day today.
It just is.  (Because of the blessings of ALLAH(swt) if you believe,
or Not, if you don't believe.)

#define old timer OT

NC has just landed in detroit. a couple of OTs are picking him up.
NC : i saw a movie during the flight. It was really good.
OT : What is the name of the Movie?
NC : I don't remember  But it was a silent movie
OT : Oh really ! Did u buy the ear phones.

The above incident really happenend.

I would really appreciate some input. Due credit will be given and

   Advertising is a bad word for marketing, since it is only part
of a merketing strategy. Whereas most products solicit foreign models,
Pepsi (Pakistan) is changing the way things are by identifying Pepsi
with Imran, Wasim, and Waqar in one commercial, and Salman and co.
(Vital Signs not dsqa -- they can't afford me yet :-)) in another.

   Pepsi did not allow Pepsi affiliates to use local coomercials
(in their strategy to potray a global image), but Pepsi (Pakistan)
broke the rules. When Vice President Marekting of Pepsi (Int'l)
got a wind of it, President of Pepsi (Pakistan) flashed the fact that
Pepsi's market share had nearly doubled, and got special permission to
identify the product with local heroes.

   In Pakistan, Coca Cola (Pakistan) objected to Commerce Dept
that the parting words of the commercial using Vital Signs' song "Dill
Dill Pakistan" (the words were ... Pakistan, Pakistan, Pepsi)
identified a product with the country (which is against Pakistan law),
so Pepsi took out the last few words.

1] How will moving the discussion create more or different participants ?
   You will see less of the "three or four" participants, but certainly
   moving the discussion does not affect the abilities of the other
   participants, unless these other participants are so avidly following
   the discussion that they dont have the time to post other threads,
   in which case the thread should remain here, since there is so much
   interest. :-) I dont know of any arbitrary limit to the number of
   articles that the news systems can serve at a time.

   Anybody knows about this ?
   Do articles get lost because of overload ?
   Any limit on the number of articles in a unit time period?
   Sridhar ? If there is it deserves a place in the FAQ.

   What you might have in mind is to see less of these "two or three"
   participants. You can say that openly. :-) This is SCI.
