OK, back to the the BNP and explosive chemicals.

No chance of getting a result on this blog, unless you chair it. Alternative is to propose an outcome worth achieving. Requires a lot of effort, but probably more productive.

Blogs are clearly not designed for outcomes, but are ok for wasting time, not too bad for airing your views to a captive audience, and great for making lifelong enmities – probably.

Well my grand-uncle an Indian army Captain at the time was present when tearfully Niazi was surredering to unmoved Aurora. I think i have the pic somewhere….

I just feel compelled to respond to raz when i feel he is getting away with his obnoxious rants… used to be a Bharat Rakshak regular! Got far too many important things on my mind these days… studies and ofcourse girls…

=>”The volume of India-Pakistan posts on this blog probes that some people DO care, even if you don’t.”

The vast majority of India-Pakistan posts on this blog are submitted by you. Vikrant occasionally responds due to his own reasons. Beyond a certain point, the rest of us don’t give a damn and this is clear by the irritation repeatedly expressed by everyone regarding this topic. Some people may raise the issue in response to points you make about Pakistan-India relation, but I have rarely seen commenters on PP of Indian ancestry start diatribes against Pakistan themselves. Possibly some Bangladeshis here may respond due to historical links with “West Pakistan” and the events of ‘71.

You really need to take this on board. The majority of British-born Indians these days have absolutely no interest in “India-Pakistan rivalry” — certainly not amongst educated professionals, who have far too many other matters to occupy their time with.

Now, you can carry on hijacking thread after thread with this obsession, but please don’t expect most Indians here to be interested. We’re not literal extensions of subcontinental society and, again beyond a certain point, whatever goes on back in India with regards to Kashmir or its neighbours isn’t anything to do with us.

And by “Indians”, I’m referring to those with Indian ancestry but born & bred in the UK. If you have some kind of problem with Indian foreign policy and military activities, it’s pointless to argue all that with people who are not from India and don’t live there.

I’ve said this before: Perhaps Sulekha would be a better place for you to direct your ire. Or one of the numerous right-wing Hindu websites out there. Or maybe even Sepia Mutiny; there are enough “recent arrivals” from the subcontinent there for you to have an audience for your arguments.

Yeah, poor gingers, what self-piying drivel. Some of us remember Eric the Red, brutal killer of Filth-Eyjolf. Jonathan Swift had your number, “It is observed that the red-haired of both sexes are more libidinous and mischievous than the rest,’. And the crimes of Chris Evans, vile corrupter of that nice girl off Dr Who, are fresh in our minds.

BTW, did you know the Bangladesh and Indian armies are regularly attacking one another these days:

BTW, did you also know it has been heavily rumoured that Bangladesh will be one of the first export customers of Pakistan’s Al-Khalid battle tank and JF-17 jet fighter, presumably for defence against…wait for it…India? How does that make you feel

Gingerism.

It’s true. Ginger people get a really hard time all the time, and no one cares. We’re human, you know. We bleed red. We have needs, and feelings – feelings that are easily hurt. And then you mock us for our short tempers. It’s the last permissible form of racism. Everyone hates a ginger. And I think this thread is the place to put a stop to it.

Or at least fall out with someone over it.

Either will do. I’m not fussed.

Ready to bring up the past whenever you want to make a point, but unwilling to face up to the realities that complicate your own vision, such arrogance, so shameless.

Pakistan commited a genocide without remorse. Just because Bangladeshi boys in Tower Hamlets show more personal humility to a scumbag who doesnt care for the one million humans slaughtered in a genocide commited in the name of your rancid nationalism, either way, you’re just a typical arrogant genocide denying nationalistic fuckwit. This is the reason why Pakistan is a cesspit of terrorism and nuclear proliferation and extremism, for the same reason that even ‘respectable’ Pakistanis like you are so racist and arrogant. That is the REAL WORLD and it is the one we live in every day no matter how much historical whitewashing assholes like you want to do.

Yep, I was thinking something very similar. I don’t know how someone looked at the title “BNP members caught with “record haul” of explosive chemicals” and thought “OMG! I better post about Indo/Pak relatiions or the other great divide!!”…
