Muslims feel the long arm of Beijing

HOTAN, CHINA — Mullah Masude, 63, removes his shoes and gingerly navigates an expanse of cheap carpeting in the Jaman mosque's main worship area before climbing a set of rickety steps to the roof.

Britishers have habit of giving equal weightage to all sides in order to appear fair. But sometimes this distorts the truth which they don't seem to mind. "India has accused Pakistan of masterminding the blasts. Pakistan denies the allegations." are lines that infuriate most Indians.

Irrespective of what the BBC says - here is what is the essential truth. It takes a KPS Gill to say it

Nothing can be had by the peace ('piss') process. Until we dismember Pakistan - this will not cease. The only way to reduce our threat is for us to turn the Islamist monster inward - break up the bastard nation into several pieces so people can kill each other in anger.

@ san:
Ambekarism is yet another of those holy cows of Indian politics, first exposed by Arun Shourie . Some of these claims are just plain old lies
The Indian Constitution was authored by Gandhi's main critic and political opponent, Dr.Ambedkar....
Actually, Ambedkar was the chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly. The constitution came about as a result of tireless labour of the members of the Constituent Assembly that lasted for over three years. There were many committees besides the Drafting Committe (of which Ambedkar was Chairman); and there were many members in the Drafting Committee in addition to him. Hence, a lot of people 'authored' the constitution.

Dr. Ambedkar, with his degree in Law from Cambridge, had been choosen by the British to write the new constitution for India .... , - The British were nobody to choose anybody or anything. The constituent assembly was elected indirectly by the members of the Provincial legislative assemblies.

The laws written into the Indian Constitution by Dr. Ambedkar, many patterned after the laws introduced into the former Confederate or slave states in the USA ...
Such as ? Is there a citation? Or is it that assertion alone counts?

This whole thing about "Baba Saheb gave us the constitution" ; "the burning thoughts of BabSaheb" etc. makes me sick. I do wish these idiots do something to get over their complexes. If you truly beleive that you are worthy and respect yourself - nobody in the world - and least of all a Hindu can take that away from you.

The other unsaid is that all these movements (including the BSP) are funded and nurtured by the - you guessed it - Christian Church. As for Gandhiji not representing the 'untouchables' - take a look at the result of the 1937 assemblies elections (including seats reserved for harijans)
