If the extremists who are promising to be hospitable to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida take control of Islamabad and get their radical hands on the nukes

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1090406/jsp/frontpage/story_10780772.jsp "The other principal source of the CPM's income — the "levy" each member must pay the party every month, quarter or year depending on his pattern of earning — nearly tripled from Rs 6.17 crore in 2001-02 to Rs 16.77 crore in 2005-06. In the one year between March 31, 2005, and March 31, 2006, its levy collection rose by over 30 per cent."    The euphemism "Levy" is something the autorikshaw drivers of Kolkata are pretty well exposed to. One has to just go to Kolkata to see the scientific extortion business of Communist Party of India Marxist (CPM). It is something like this... any autorikshaw driver plying a route (say the route going from tollygunge tram station to say, Malancha cinema) should pay a part of his income every day to the local CPM office and renew his "certificate". In case any autorikshaw doesn't display the "certificate" on its windshield, it...

Seems like there is nothing to stop the Taliban takeover of Pakistan. Here is a report from the Pakistani daily "Dawn" http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/columnists/irfan-husain-the-high-cost-of-surrender

This is an interesting video. We are often told (by the pinkos, commies, etc.) that the "ordinary pakistani" has only love towards India. This video is a beautiful demonstration that the "ordinary pakistani" will always follow the "dominant" political discourse, no matter what his/her heart says. See how the girls who took an anti-India position during their debate completely changed their position once they were out of the debate. When asked why, they say that this is the "dominant" discourse in Pakistan and following the "dominant" discourse will always have better results in a debate.. From this one can conclude a simple thing... It doesn't matter what the masses think. What matters is what is the "dominant" discourse in the political/intellectual circles. The dominant discourse in Pakistan is Hindu hate. It will never change until there is a big catharsis in the thinking of the "ordinary" Pakistani.

The beginning of the end of a nation state founded on hindu hate has begun. We wait for the day when this evil state crumbles fully. Taliban is 100 KM away from Islamabad and the end might come sooner than we expect it. See the video to know how Taliban is gun running in Pakistan

Some great news to cheer about. However, The Financial Express wishes to see this as a problem. http://in.news.yahoo.com/241/20090227/1273/top-fe-editorial-cereally-challenged.html "India's food economy is looking at a problem of plenty. Government granaries are holding quantities of wheat and rice far above their buffer norms. Plus, wheat production in 2009 is estimated to be a near-record 78 million tonnes. Government wheat stocks in the central pool on February 1, 2009 are estimated to be 20.19 million tonnes, while rice stocks are estimated to be 16.77 million tonnes. Wheat stocks on April 1, 2009 is expected to be around 10.31 million tonnes, far above the year-ending buffer requirement of 4.0 million tonnes, while rice stocks on October 1, 2009 are projected to be 5.91 million tonnes, more than the norm of 5.2 million tonnes. High inventories have already created a storage problem for Food Corporation of India (FCI). Storage will be a bigger problem when the new rabi pr...

A member of the National Commission for Women, Nirmala Venkatesh is sacked on the charge that her report was biased and dereliction of duty. One wonders who will sack Renuka Chowdhury for asking the women in India to do a "Pub Bharo". "Nirmala Venkatesh was a flaw in the system"? What are you Ms. Chowdhury? Or is it that in todays democracy some flaws are more equal than others? http://in.news.yahoo.com/43/20090228/818/tnl-nirmala-venkatesh-was-a-flaw-in-the.html "Nirmala Venkatesh was a flaw in the system: Renuka Chowdhury Sat, Feb 28 08:20 PM New Delhi, Feb 28 (IANS) Women and Child Development Minister Renuka Chowdhury Saturday said Nirmala Venkatesh, the sacked member of National Commission for Women (NCW), was a 'flaw in the system'."
