How Did The Taliban Manage To Seize Power So Quickly?

[Mr.Green]

You have brought through your soon-to-be-launched movement a mixing of modern Socialist thought with Islam because you see the commonality between Islam and modern Socialism / Communism and I believe all Muslim Socialists and Communists are ready to collaborate with those Muslims who call themselves religious but it is these so-called religious people who should understand that supreme commonality. For example here is Jamal Abdul Nasser in part of a speech in 1958 when his Socialist movement wanted to collaborate with the "Muslim" Brotherhood :

Yes, removing culture of colonialists is not easy as it becomes a reality and a fashion.. I find it absurd that men in Egypt, Pakistan and India wear suits with tie in this hot weather. While people in Pakistan wear Karakul Cap. I read that when British arrived, their soldiers used to wear wool clothes. I think Bermuda with T shirt is closer to our dhoti with banyan dress which is more suited to our weather. Few days back I read that in UK or US people have started to go to offices in pants upto their knees. In software firm like Apple or Microsoft, employees wear jeans. Cultural colonialism is an important topic.

Agreed. I see all this stupid Capitalist corporate culture where the CXOs of India's most useless-to-humanity companies wear suits and tie in the generally humid or at least not cold climate of India during much of the year. I find the tie to be silly and uncomfortable really with no practical necessity except as something to add color to the shirt and the jacket. The tie is neither needed in South Asia nor even in the West.

I think Bermuda with T shirt is closer to our dhoti with banyan dress which is more suited to our weather.

Absolutely not ! I like to be well-dressed and by that I mean shirt tucked into the pants, belted and shoed and face and hair well-groomed.

Few days back I read that in UK or US people have started to go to offices in pants upto their knees. In software firm like Apple or Microsoft, employees wear jeans.

Jeans is fine but knee pants is overdoing it.

Cultural colonialism is an important topic.

Agreed. One element is public sports like cricket and others about which I wrote this today in the morning.
