If you want to see some real blood, its between venture capitalists and bankers.
VCs refer to Bankers as Wankers
Housing & employment discrimination need to stop.
Heh how does that happen?
Guess why haitian blacks have an easier time finding apartments than many native blacks?
I can give you a personal example....3 yrs ago my employer was involved in a frivolous lawsuit brought out by an asshole who claims discrimination.
I will say there was a discrimination. The kind one should use when selecting employees...we did not want a jerk.
He did not shake hands with women interviewers.. All these things added to a judgement call that this guy would not be easy to work with.
If we were out to not get muslims we wouldnt have called him in the interview....
Discrimination against any one DOES not and WONT go away, unless the culture changes.
And If Indians were that highly discriminatory like shabana herself pointed out, there wouldnt have been a shahrukh khan etc as the hindi movie stars...
. I think you will agree that Shabana, Asra and Abdul Kalam represent a kind of Indianized Islam that we would want to encourage and not aliena
No way!
Shabanas an apologist. Her islamic apologism is much worst than her communist aplogism.
The kind of islam the whole non muslim world needs to encourage is Ayaan Hirsi Ali kind.
Its islam that IS highly discriminatory at its core. All religions are. But Islams the most repugnant with its death threat to apostates,
death threat to critics. A view of Ummah and harb and on and on.
It will allways face discrimination b/c of the nature of islam. Change all the laws in the world but that aint going to happen.
Islam in india is going towards the bottom of Socio economic standard, not b/c of hindus.
Its b/c they are engaging in a lifestyle that wont get them anywhere.
Maddonna in the 80's had a pretty scary brow in one of her tour videos....
And the point is?
Yes there are incidents here and there, but try being a non muslim in saudi arabia.
Or even discuss about the pedophile...
This woman herself says in india a muslim can be "successful"
Her point then is about some confused moronic girl wears a burka in "the west" as a reaction.
Muslims in hot as hell bhopal wear burka, who pushed them towards that?
And it wouldnt take a rocket scientist to observe that nost muslims in the west choosing to wear burka come from africa, yemen, egypt etc
And that was the case pre 9-11.
You did not see central asian muslim women immigrants doing this?
you saw some indian muslim doing it(especially those that came after spending time in middle east)
Who pushed those indian woman from middle east into doing this.
Chachaji
Karan Thapar never treats any one with kids glove?
Who are you kidding with that?
His only credential for journalism are being a doon boy
Thapar, Sanghvi, vardarajan et all have not made any original observation and have repeated trite assertion in print and now on other media.
personaly i enjoy frontal
murder isnt capitalism.
I dislike TATA, for many reasons, but in this case it all came down to TATA did not performing a ritual rimjob on banerjee.
They shouldnt have gone to singur in the first place.
They have ~3 other places with in india where they would have to deal with players(government, workers etc) who are more work focused.
Bengal isnt, Energy there is spent on everything else but the core reason for your business.
Neither is infrastructure any better.
He'd be better off finding a place west of delhi, in maharashtra, or Tamil nadu.
In each of those places there are less hurdles and less energy wasted on useless diversion than many other parts of india.
Tharoor's a flame baiting idiot.
He never had any interesting/unique insight or observation. And who the Fuck he think he was peddling the Ganesh Pimped book a while ago.
~2 years ago I recall at a SAJA event a highschool student correcting him on his policy event timelines and the guy was shamed in public and
flabbergasted.
In india he supports the same culture that causes these results. and actually encouraged US to emulate....
His rambling peace in wapo is a feelgood there there for some bleeding farts and just like his job at UN doesnt hope to accomplish/explain or provide any way....
Koomar,
that only sounds similar but it isnt.
Kumar original meaning was "the son" and Kumari , "the daughter".
Its secondary meaning is an analog to "gentelman".
PS What the Suar Choodi paigambar khaish Ayesha bii ki Gand Are you writing about ?
You dont know the masturbatory difference between laws of any of these country.
A Sarsari Nigah over Randi of Englands domains law was applied in that case.
now if your DINi bhais to discuss patriotic issues on the other side of the bond
They may apply here in a chaudvian ka chuda chand arguement that comes in once in a blue moon in this framework
it sill wouldnt affirm your WTF vociferation.
It does not scale up, its worst than tharkator mercator
Well islam is more similar to judaism than christianity.
If one was to look at Epistemological basis only they would be wondering why isnt any one bitching about judea-islamic value.
Wow.
I hadn't expected this good performance so far
Its a surprise. B/c boxing in india did not get much money, nor was it a well organized sport.
Hmongs like indian movies a lot more than I ever did.
An acquitance told me that most Hmong entertainment
is dubbed movies from other countries
and the order in terms of numbers of movies is Indian, Thai, Korean and Chinese.
She didnt kill it but pussies at random house did it, and that included some consideration of CHUTIYAs like spellbound,
who did try to link violent reaction by American christians over last tempation of christ....
I do not recall any one with that production who was hiding.
Amreeka Chud Haan
Again I find the useless metal detector bit thrown here for effect by spellbound,
She tried to suggest theres some similarity between how christians would react...
Spellbound said she went to watch the movie which said Jesus had a wife.
Well lets see mohammad had a child wife which is historical fact and
Lets see I have never seen the movie on TV(dont recall which channel, Id guess it wasnt air channels though)
Even prior to that i saw it at blockbuster many times.
Spellbounds being deceptive with this....
The "young wife" of prophets being too kind she was the child wife of the pedophile mohammed.
You liked Hitchens Jefferson article, consider the differences thought.
He cutout useless stuff like virgin births and curing the blind resurrection all out and made it a simpler story.
B/c Jesus of Nazreth did not kill any one. He may have had a child thats it.
Hitchens suggested it would be a good idea to cut super natural out in islam as well.
Sure you can cut out burraq episode where mohammed went to jerusalem on winged horse like creature.
But to make it a toolerable story you have to get rid of all politicaly motivated warmongering that he engaged in too,
get rid of his pedophilic episodes....
Its a hard problem unless people simply accept it for what it was and move on....
Singh Sindh gh d same difference.
Descendents of Komagata Maru group had tried demanding money reparations in the past.
I dont know if they got anything from the Canadian government, but I do know that they have raised some money in the past over this issue.
But whats amusing is that these folks dont even try to look at england on this issue either which has a lot to be blamed for.
elsewhere was writing something on ellison and came accross this.
It is dispicable that a nation of islam member who did not denounce it is an elected official.

Boxers? Whats the wager on a boxer in any class making it to top3....
Highly unlikely.
That happened when SGPC came into being?
How should you ask heh
twas her majesty's mens doing.
Hindu priests were priests in Harminder prior to that.
Wealthier sikhs were at one time were sending their ashes towards Ganga with Haridwar being the preferred destination.
The man with whome sikh kingdom reached its zenith and died with him, Ranjit Singh wanted to send Kohinoor to a Jagganath temple in orissa.
At one time there were more ‘sikhs’(or proto sikhs if you are Anthroanalist) around bengal than in punjab.
History is convoluted and funnier than anything else i can think of.
She will win some Brownie Halva points for acting tough and defiant.
I do agree sort of with the demand
But ideally the Bitch thats the queen of england should also deliver the ceremonial apolodgy.
Also will the SGPC apologize for kicking hindus out of Harminder....
or better yet ask would the sikhs and gurkhas considering apologize for suppressing manishs alma matter the sepia mutiny
Obamas mama was a white so whats miscegenation fear...
Err What does BJP have to do with this....
Tharki pyre baiting analogs
Its ok for him not being a muslim.
As a matter of fact it should be OK for those born a muslim to change away from it if they choose.
He isnt taking that point nor hinting at it thats why he seems like a phuss rather than a man whose gand has dum....
Software outsourcing doesn’t rely much on oil.
Indirectly it does by other mechanism
$ vs other currency.
$ is dropping and oil price rising and both feed into each other
with a low $ low there is lesser difference in for many low productive tasks ie call center etc, customer support
I'd expect that kind to suffer If oil rises further....
Gazprom expects by next year a $220/barrell. They may be signaling to others but its an important signal....
Well at least I wasnt the only one who was pissed off by the "orderliness of the small town"
Times has no @@ or as they'd say in india W mein dam nahin.
The article was horrible.
all it tried to convey was that US was responsible for terrorism,
And in boston, around Tremont Street Cabbies do offer match making service...
I dont know what was about my demeanor that led the cabbie said to me in hindi, "chaar sau bees"
I didnt understand initialy b/c i thought it was some other language then he said "Gaanja"
Well I have been reading about mahindra trying to enter US SUV market.
It has done so for small tractors.
Its going to be uphill b/c the volume mahindra produces is small, so its not going to be as debugged
product as other smaller players....Its not even a kia....no where close to a hyundai(which i think
is the minimum level of debugged product needed to enter an established market)
Buying Hummer makes sense if its the complete Hummer line including military products not just consumer suvs....
No national consensus => no reform,
Well I guess that was it for sane comment.
I guess the next one would be You are fat/short/hairy or whatever
For the record, I was born here and am 28 and never been to graduate school so correct your sterotyping to be that of an ABCD....
I repeat again that they are bitching about mental health care condition in canada, which is far to generous(or stupid IMNHO libertarian influenced positions wrt all issues except environment)
They could have had the same situation in India then who would they blame.
Spare the world some sanctimony on the "undetected problem" Even in this case it was known before the killing.
And Hell no Schizophrenia is not an undetected hidden mental health problem anywhere. B/c the symptoms are so overt for all 3 types.
Of almost all mental health issues this is the most obvious one. The traditional paagal has nearly always been a schizophrenic.
The low road is to blame Canadian healthcare system, and even worse is blame it on canadians being ignorant to not detect this.
I'd rather have beer thanks
Ethnicity Does have something to do with it b/c an immigrant family is bitching about welfare state.
Now what if the pagal bauji may have killed biji back in the pind.
Who would they blame then?
Lack of indian welfare state...?
I preferred obama to clinton cause i hated that lying 3@!@$% couple.
Obamas not great, I suspect he is an atheist but he hasnt said so.
I do not know about his mother. She could be an overzealous convert(most converts are)
Either way if elected B Hussain O should discuss apostasy in islamic context and bring such issues out.
If not elected it doesnt matter as much...
Regarding

"Lina and her brother, Paul Dhingra, believe their father is just as much a victim as their mother – of a medical system that failed to properly help him."
Nonesense Bullshit. It seems to me more canadian desis are for forgoing personal responsibility and blaming the welfare state all the while
taking every advantage of it.
The family had realized Paul is mentally ill. Its they who are responsible not the state.
The movie was horrible and on top of it Sandler doesnt even take risks.
His character is shown as some one interested in humping any thing in front of him which he does.
Then why not the palestinian girl.
Zohan becomes a pussy about abeing a pussy hound there....
Whats he afraid of?
Reddys bit on tokenism at the end of his article was yet another eg banal blabbing done by many.
More people buy those products in the west hence more western models exist.
Oh rocket posts your commercial venture....
Can i put blog posts on rockets and send them towards your servers?
>>"Yes I think East Asians do make the same asinine statements when chink gook etc is compared to nigger."
>>In other words, only blacks have a unique right to be hurt by certain words?!
>>How is calling a black child nigger any different than calling an east asian child chink or gook?
No!
If a person uses epithets like you did Mr/Ms brown with me its upto me to brush it aside.
Just like you should If I choose to call you a terrorist a Wog a Ganwar
This applies to blacks over the word Nigger as well.
And Both East Asians and Indians do not have the same history in US of discrimination as it was agaisnt blacks so even more of a silly point.
hence I said its similar to godwins.
It has become like that becomes cliche.
Either you have freedom of speech which means freedom for some one to call you whatever they please.
>>"Regarding racially charge, Its a bit of bleating. Call me anything it doesnt matter to me."
>>Hey asinine moron, this issue isn't about YOU!
I take this kind of attack as churlish Ann Coulter like behavior.
The issue is about me as I live in this culture.
and I dont want indians to turn into cry babies doing "oh no you didnt" shenanigans
>> Verbal harassment or verbal assault is a crime in most
BFD on verbal harrasment.
And there is no such thing as a verbal assault.
I have had seen more verbal abuses hurled towards me in India than here. And they were caste based, regional, everything.
I was assualted once by a sikh with which i had to deal with. The issue was the role of a guru in highwayman style robbery, as discussed by Cunningham. I think theres truth to the argument and I don't shy away from discussing it. Now some morons
may think this is worth while drawing the dagger but it shows there mental makeup and inability to discuss anything.
I even had some of that in US schools. Doing jocky things like wrestling meant dealing with assholes who display tough guy attitude
I've been called cowpissdrinker, snake worshipper, sandnigger etc by some and really it was not a big deal.
Its there choice.
After 1st WTC bombing I was also called a terrorist and sandnigger. Big Deal.
Adults who claim to be damaged from childhood bullying have some other issue and are hiding behid a very convinient bullyman.
Most children also know this.
You dont need to be "bullet proof" towards "verbal assault" only towards real bullet.
And I am also not saying students have freedom of speech on school property either.
But this hate crime bias crime nonesense has to go.
Every one has biases but the crime is the issue.
Yes I think East Asians do make the same asinine statements when chink gook etc is compared to nigger.
There is room for analogy but not everywhere.
Regarding racially charge, Its a bit of bleating.
Call me anything it doesnt matter to me.
My issue on these topics has been "hate crime" etc.
I could care less weather it was love hate whatever and focus on crime.
Just like in this case the violence in school the real issue not weather some name calling like terrorist went along.
Sorry I dont see calling a sikh a T the same as N.
Why do they have to make assinine statements like those.
Its like godwin....
Well dont know what the soldiers were doing in her majesty the queens service.
Another fact that I forgot to dump here which is not being mentioned any where in the mahan yodha bullshit from media is
that during 1948 war the british gen. from the paki side came and stayed at his home!!
If they regard military that way it would be good.
But they dont.
FWIW Sammy was a chamcha of the brits who had no vision....
None of that generation of officer ever did.
None of them did much about the horrible jingoistic martial race attiturd that floated around the military,
I've said this else where that the dude was an ok operations guy but with no modernizing ability.
Why I loved the movie guru, B/c I nearly 14 years ago I had written an email to a friend about a clique of conglomerate headed by the PADA, group, which gets slapped by a thappad family who used the same business tactics as PADAs were for generations.
The common theme between both sides has been keep the competion out.and not to innovate but repackage existing product services and technology in the indian market and throwing in wrenches for the real upstarts.
They also sanctimoniously sing about patriotic sentiment about indianness, man of the people, man of charity etc without any hard data to show for.
This is why I actualy admire the newer teams like Infosys b/c they run the cleanest corporation.
It would be interesting to see if these people do something interesting with their money or not.
Because Tata,Ambani,Wadia,Birla,Munjal,Bajaj etc wont.I do admire Agarwal of vedanta to some extent too.
Even though I know of all the tricks they did to acquire state owned entities
I do have some admiration for Sr Ambani, Munjal, etc but not too much as they set up an uncompetitive business environment.
And the key thing in india thats still missing is passion.
No ones shooting for stars yet trying to do the next Big thing
Indian Americans are(but thats the American part of the identity)
A dude that goes unmentioned i all this is a guy by the name of Juggi Lal Tandon.
Who actually did attempt a bit different business model in the 80's.
He setup a HardDrive Manufacturing operation in india after making a small fortune in US.
The inability to setup operation outside export zone(yeah the SEZ Sexineess is nothing new but a horrible idea being repackaged again) and the inability to import equipment impacted quality and led to the demise.
But he did attempt something that was different than these passionless bores we see on the billionares list.
Arundhatis a tasteless writer who has no insight or observation and all her ideas are recycled
In that aspect Suketu is pretty much the same.
What can you say when both were involved in bollywood script writing.
Speaking of indian writer I just ordered Amitav Ghoshs next book.
I seriously disagree with Amitavs political position but still respect his writing and scholarship.
I am amused by his endings and I hope he doesnt repeat geriatric sex to represenent political reconciliation.
With my differences stated I cant stand Roy or Mehta. Their works should be micturated upon IMNHO.
(PS micturate shares the same roots as mootna, funny only if you go buy interview that ghosh mentioned on language )
Salman Rushdies more overrated than the Salbass switching machli.
He'd be a Ghuslakhan Hagdi who annoyyed a siah sir pagdi and went hiding.
Without any contribution, Unless you think bombays movie industry was worth something.

The easter island bit was funny.
I liked this movie a bit more than you....

Parag Khannas book is of a similar theme and PK is working with Obama....
If Obama wins the first thing I'd like him to do is bring the big IT out and put it right in front.
The IT is his apostasy or his fathers and the general threat thats associated with it in islam.
It will be a global trendsetter, something that will encourage a shoutfest indeed but in the end is
a needed issue
Jindal does not buy Mccain anything significant.

"But many Indian Hindus took much pride in it."
Did they ? IMNHO It was a fact raised in desi trivia night, kind of like wheres the largest hindu temple

I just watched the whole show and would have 2 say conan did treat rachel ray prior to that with kid gloves too...
so whats with the brownbeating

Does exclusivity of an australian mag selecting of 2 men of subcontinent have to do with any thing?
Is that a way of 'validating' looks?

Apart from being a demagogue over arrest of an illegal immigrant, what has this person done?
Dehli khuund ke rakh do.
I have heard him give a speech, and have been seing his interviews on TV and NPR for a decade now,
Yet I never can seem to muster any enthusiasm to order any of his book.
He doesn't have an original idea or insights intto any topic.
Since when kaballahs eastern.
I know the line has shifted now, but just 10 yrs ago islam too was taught as a western religion in colleges.
Hmmm Are there porno versions of hindi movies if so this one has the perfect title to make a porno version.
The title is .....
I am writing a few additional points that media is not discussing.
() Bhuttos are shias...Like thats not an issue? Especialy considering the Talibans Sunni domination
()PPP has recently been portrait as a force representing democratic ideals.
PPP wasnt internaly democratic. Benazir dad was its chairman for life, and so was she.
In Julfikars reign bengali democraticaly election results were kharijed.
Heres an interesting take by her niece

Is there a "famous"/"infamous" desi in such movement?
Kautilya:
Yes they are diffirent but not that different.
Both are "Tribal" areas that are allegedly not in pakistani control.
Nonesense.
Mullah Omar frequents Quetta(in Balochistan)
When its convinient for them to get rid of Bugti they go in and did the job.
Call it a miniwar or whatever the point is WHEN THEY WANT TO GET RID OF SOME ONE THEY DO.
But when the US gov asks for other help from an alleged allied country they repeat the banal assertion that they have no control over that area and the media repeats it a thousand time and most people foolishly beleive it.
The US should forcefuly demand that this nonesense should stop
The pakistani government propped these "tribal" leaders.
And pakistani goverment(ISI) went in to kidnap and murder a pakistani journalist and to beat up an american journalist.
There is no protection racket.
I am not an obama fan, but its the correct policy stand.
considering backchannel diplomacy is failing.
Coming from a Left leaning party which has a greater chance to win white house its even better news.
To whoever who was not sure pakistani army had no control over NWFP shows that person can read. But cant understand
Pakistan has no control over NWFP is the standard line that has been in print because thats what the official line that was thrown about by both US and Pakistani GoBarMent.
Just think they the pakistani state could go into another tribal area (baloochistan) and kill Bugti when they wanted/or deemed it was needed.
In NWFP they can seal smuggling weapons going to afghanistan when it was deemed to go to pro karzai elements with in a day. They(again the pakistani state) can kill local journalist beatup foreign journalists when it is deemed useful.
Simply put US government knows about it, But is going with the pakistani line.
Thank the general lack of awareness and inquisitiveness that leads to such a silly line being repeated over and over again, without any one saying hey WTF is this nonesense about?
