Chinese Belligerence

Seems like China has decided its a time to go for the kill. We are sure that the spineless government will bend over backwards to please China. http://www.ndtv.com/news/videos/video_player.php?id=1149381

Why did Left lose in keraLam?

A hilarious youtube video which shows the typical strategy of commies in not talking straight and taking recourse to gobbledygook when at a loss for answers. The words in the video are in sanskritized malayALam, you will enjoy it even if you don't understand it fully. Just pay attention to the gibberish.

Pakistan crumbling - III

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Is_it_Af-Pak_Is_it_Pak-Af_Its_a_Fak-Ap/articleshow/4442195.cms Pakistan's main nuclear and military complexes are within miles of the capital, which is only 60 miles (and that's only "as the crow flies" assured Pakistan's envoy to US Hussain Haqqani) from Buner. 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

The communists and their dirty money!

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...

Pakistan crumbling - II

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

Mindset of the "Ordinary Pakistani"

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.
