Since one is not aware of the Constitutional provisions relating to impeachment one cannot comment. My personal view is that impeachment is a very extreme step & must not be resorted to. Not because I like or dislike the Gen, just that such things do not bode well for a nation. Lastly...

Why don't we put an end to living in the past and stop exhuming the dead for one post mortem after another. Lets simply look thru the windshield chart a route to drive ahead instead of looking at the rear view mirror all the time.

How appreciative are you guys of anti Pak news & articles ?? As far as I am concerned by sending the kind of reply you have,you too join the league of " Gloat over you neighbors discomfiture " club in S Asia. What the hell .. are we ever going to raise ourselves above such petty jealousies...

Jolly good show !!

Wonder what could be the motive behind such articles ? Since I am not much into journalism , I cannot help wonder if such articles are written by journalists simply to remain relevant / on the pay rolls ? What could you say of an Editor who accepts & allows such articles to be printed ...

This is what I call a " doosra" !!

Why does this editorial from the Dawn smell of a case of " sour grapes" to me ? The fact despite the hurry & urgency alluded to by the author, India still stood up to the US in the WTO is a good sign. Indian Govts have a proven track record of keeping national interests above all ir...

AM, It is possible that what we refer to as errors made by those at the helm in '47 were a part of a deal / package that may have been agreed to by the parties involved. Lets just give the devil his due since he / they are not around to explain and move on. Moreover, what happened then is...

If it going to cause so much anguish & acrimony, why are we discussing all this ? In any case it is not going to change anything. I feel that this forum helps to bring people from both sides a little closer mentally with a few jibes exchanged here & there which is natural given our past...

I think you have answered most of your questions. Politicians hardly ever learn from the past..as far as the future is concerned, they are only interested in their own future. There would have been no "Indian turmoil" then too.

[/B] I partially agree with you. Independence was not an option given to the princely states in ' 47. Since I am not aware of Ferozepur & Gurdaspur , I cannot comment. But then,the NWFP is connected with Pak , how much sway does Islamabad have there ? Development & education are...

Views, views...and more views. To each his own. The bottom line is that when it comes to an " apple to apple" comparison, with its population , land mass and diversity coupled with the kind of problems such assets carry... the fundamentals in India are surprisingly strong & in place when...

The problem in S Asia is that we have a " larger than life " image of ourselves. We are so full of ourselves that we have no room for others. Add to this the following : 1. Perpetual moaning & whining about the past. 2. In ability to accept the present. 3. Lamenting on what we should /...

Can someone educate me on the option of Musharraf not doing anything at all. Will the required Nos be garnered to impeach him ?

What do you think Lt Col Rathore the Gent who will be carrying the flag at Beijing today brought from Athens ? The Armed Forces have Sports Control boards, training facilities in each zone, budgets, they are the leaders in Sports medicine , the recent dope test of the lady weight lifter was...

Is something wrong with us S Asians ? Apparently, most of our young give priority to secure jobs than sports & understandably too. What about our armed forces ? We claim to have the " best" men & women in uniform, the cream if you please. Their jobs are secure, they can get out of turn...

Firstly possession of Nukes without the economic strength to back it up will make countries end up like N Korea. The point I wish to make is the same , did Pak leaders including the Gen / ISI who is or were known as the custodians of national interests think of the option mentioned in the...

Why would anyone enter into a mutual pact with a country that is perpetually unstabilised and " on the cross roads" ? Where is the assurance that in the hour of need Pak is in internal turmoil ? What can Pak offer to BD which it cannot get elsewhere ? Why should BD forget what Pak did to it...

Its quite simple. Considering how E Pak was bungled by islamabad, these hypothetical parts of Pak would have also separated as BD did.

Whose enemy friend ? We are all pawns in a larger game. A game we are playing willingly. Our animosity is paying for so many jobs worldwide depriving our own kin of the same. In our exuberance to do each other down we are letting our own resources & energies go in the wrong direction...
