Unless they go radically secular, close all madrassas, replacing these by real schools and ban the teaching of Koran on children under 18y old and pronounce a total separation of state and religion whilr preachers are monitored, in case of Pakis, trash sharia, purge the army and ISI from militants...<br />Be aware abut it : Koran CLEARLY says that ALL "infidels" must convert or... die! Islam HATES all other religions, it's NOT a religion of peace, it was created by a warlord, jihad is even more mandatory than the hajj pilgrimage. <br />When a Hindu becomes religious, he becomes a sadu and does yoga until he passes, when a Buddhist becomes religious, he/she goes to a monastry and meditates for the rest of his life. When it's a Christian, he becomes a missionary and moves to the 3rd world to help the poorest people on Earth (think about Mother Theresa). When a Muslim becomes religious, he engages into jihad!<br /><br />If you want a free market, consider Taiwan, S-Korea, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia has a Muslim majority but is secular, maybe Malaysia (but I'm not sure, it should be studied), but do not even think about countries like Pak or Bangladesh with tens of thousands madrassa teaching their 'students' all infidels, especially the polytheists, must be killed! <br /><br /><br /><br />Izhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967775666618552427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-42965432700090884942019-04-26T06:17:40.146-07:002019-04-26T06:17:40.146-07:00If the Kashmir issue is resolved then we can impro...If the Kashmir issue is resolved then we can improve relations with Pakistan. <br />Close Indo Pakistani friendly relationship will have a dramatic effect on the economy, politics and culture in South Asia, it will effect our relationship with China.<br />The vision of an economic zone with free trade and movement of people be between India, Pakistan, Bangladeshi, Siri Lanka and Bhutan, we must start with Kashmiri issue with a approach to compromise, this will take political will.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-86357586478697607732019-04-23T16:28:25.636-07:002019-04-23T16:28:25.636-07:00Did Gen Hooda pursue his own recommendations when ...Did Gen Hooda pursue his own recommendations when he was in command?<br />Hooda writes there must be “an information campaign” to inform the Kashmiri people that the Indian State is not at war with them. <br />So these Kashmiri people merely need to be informed of this fact for the problem to be resolved?<br />As a former Prussian chief of staff once said. There are four types of Army officers: the clever and lazy, the clever and diligent, the stupid and lazy, and the stupid and diligent. No kudos for guessing the category of officer Gen Hooda fits into.<br />Gen Mussharaf had a Corps Commander who being of the clever and lazy type, had plenty of time to think about Kashmir and other problems and proposed this solution.<br />1. Demilitarization or phased withdrawal of troops<br />2. There will be no change of borders of Kashmir. However, people of Jammu & Kashmir will be allowed to move freely across the Line of Control.<br />3. Self-governance without independence<br />4. A joint supervision mechanism in Jammu and Kashmir involving India, Pakistan and KashmirAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-18515973950588976802019-04-22T23:21:28.033-07:002019-04-22T23:21:28.033-07:00Strange that they did nothing when the String of P...Strange that they did nothing when the String of Pearls strategy was being consolidated from 2004-14.

China is Uriah Heep personified. Any quarter given will ALWAYS be interpreted as a sign of weakness not conciliation. Alas it is beyond INC to understand that simple fact (case in point, the Shimla Agreement). As far as the current dispensation goes, to use them in the same sentence as "understand" will betray a deep lack of understanding.<br /><br />Nothing on CDS or higher defence reforms I suppose? Ajai, even accounting for your political beliefs, one would have hoped that you will highlight this strongly! C'est la vie, I guess.Kannannoreply@blogger.com
