I don't understand why people are so worked up with this. First of all it was a quote out of context. On top of that isn't this what freedom of speech is all about, he is entitled with his opinion, you might not agree with it but we should all defend his right regardless. You can't be pro...
Thats good to hear, since personally I believe the most powerful driver of a nation's economic success is an inspiration of individual success - the belief that through hard work and individual talent anyone can succeed. So called American Dream believing that everyone will always be better than...
Here is the documentary I was talking about:
BBC News - Cases of lower caste student suicide in India
Also now caste is officially part of Indian national census, is this a good thing or bad?
BBC News - Indian cabinet approves caste-based census for 2011

Efficiency is probably the last thing you can associate with Democracy, you can spin it for fairness or even just although I haven't yet to see that in the Indian version but I will give it the benefit of doubt. But efficiency? come on!
If I were the spokes person for Chinese government, I would have just told them cause US paid for the AC. The interest payment of US debt in Chinese holding is more than Chinese national defense budget, so basically US is paying for all the AC, destroyer, J20 and whatever we are building. So...
Ok, this part is kind of funny. Now the crew started to interview regular Pakistanis and ask them how to differentiate Pakistani from Indian. I guess you can understand what he said, I am not gonna repeat here but quite funny. In gist he believe Pakistanis are bigger (fatter), lighter complexion...
Video showed Chinese spokes women stating China will continue her support of Pakistan in its struggle with anti-terrorism and urged the international community to step up of their support as well. She also mentioned that US's doubt on Pakistan is unfair. Around 10:04 they interviewed former...
