Against all hegemons, save one, Atimes

"It is all right for nations like Britain, France, China, Russia, India and Israel to have powerful missile forces and nuclear weapons, but not, according to Washington, for Muslim nations to acquire modern strategic weapons. Anyone that does, like Pakistan, will be severely punished." His observation is only partially correct.

Kashmiri Rudali's false tears, IExpress

They collected the family in a room and opened indiscriminate fire, killing four including a four-year-old child. The militants suspected that Dar"s son had tipped off the forces, a "justification" to wipe out the entire family.

Vajpayee Govt. Must Abandon Foreign Obsession, Samachar

Why is the English media so completely out of step with the new India that is now emerging? Actually, it has been out of sync for a long time. By and large, it defended Mrs Gandhi"s emergency and some papers went out of the way to praise Mrs Gandhi.

Visiting a Hotel? Check if they have a copy of Holy Geeta, Sanjeev Nayyar

Whenever you visit any hotel please check whether it has a copy of Holy Geeta. I visited Hyderabad on work and found that the hotel kept only the Bible. The owner a Hindu did not even know about it. For starters the hotel will now keep a book titled 'In Indian Culture Why Do We' by the Chinmaya Mission. We must make it a point to check that every hotel which we visit keeps a copy of the Holy Geeta. If not please speak to the concerned person, email me the name of hotel, address, name of contact person and his email id, will pursue the matter. http://www.indiacause.com/OL_021230.htm

The bin Ladens' Great Escape, NRO

Attack on IDRF: Little Method to Their Madness, Sulekha

FOIL has been targeting IDRF simply because IDRF has supported a variety of philanthropic and social work including many undertaken by the RSS and its affiliates, and because IDRF has volunteers and office-bearers who are affiliated with the VHP

This time in 2050, we will be sitting down to eat a synthetic turkey, with a robot helping out to prepare the trimmings. This is what we can expect for Christmas in the year 2050, according to BT"s futurologist Ian Pearson.
