    Come on Amandeep, you know that's no answer.

    Expecting to stop progress in every field with the intention of eradicating poverty is a noble idea. However, it does not work like that. Never has never will. Like I said a generation back this particular disaster would have killed 3000 instead of 300. A definite improvement but obviously more needs to be done.

    Maybe the SGPC with their 993 crore budget could launch a satellite, take the results and act upon them?

    I agree with you. I'm going to write a letter to the SGPC to forfeit their 993 crore budget and hand it over the poor. While you're at it why not ask some of your farmer buddies to pay taxes and fund future development instead of expecting everything for free.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    We aren't talking about technology prevent a natural disaster. We were talking about what this space mission in terms of cost, given the daily death toll in India, would mean to the average citizen in India, or more specifically those living and dying from starvation.

    Did the satellite give the information that a storm was on it's way? If so in terms of days, how much warning was given?

    Why would the govt not act upon the info given by the satellite and put some procedure in place? Surely that would be the end product ?

    To say, " the satellite gave us the info and we acted upon it". To have it up there, and ignoring it, is a waste of resources, and think of the people who have died since then.

    Your "3000" seems very misplaced here, if the authorities did not act upon the satellite information. 300 people would have died regardless whether there was a satellite there or not, because its information was in reality of no consequence.

     

     

     

    Everything shall be ok here? What about the place you left? How will things be there without you?

     

  3. No amount of technology can prevent every natural disaster. The satellite can give you information but it has to be acted upon through infrastructure upgrades and disaster management policies. A generation ago 3000 people would have been dead instead of 300. So, it has come a long way.

    But now I've returned so everything shall be ok.

    Nawaz Sharif’s niece Khabija on Friday got married to the grandson of former Indian Army Lt General PN Hoon Kanv Pratap Singh. The marriage was solemnised at a Chandigarh hotel in presence of family members and close friends. While entire family from the boy’s side was present, only the mother of the girl, Nawaz Sharif’s sister-in-law was in attendance.

    Khabija’s mother only attended the wedding in Chandigarh

    CHANDIGARH: It should ideally have been one of the most high-profile marriages in the Indian sub-continent for obvious reason that the bride is the niece of Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the daughter of the Pakistan’s Punjab province Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif. And the groom is the grandson of a high-flying retired Indian Army General PN Hoon.

    However, the marriage was kept a low-key affair for political and religious implications it may have in Pakistan as the fundamentalists there may not accept the marriage of the niece of their Prime Minister to a Hindu boy from India. And probably that explains the absence of both Nawaz and Shahbaz from all the ceremonies.

    Nawaz Sharif’s niece Khabija on Friday got married to the grandson of former Indian Army Lt General PN Hoon Kanv Pratap Singh. The marriage was solemnised at a Chandigarh hotel in presence of family members and close friends. While entire family from the boy’s side was present, only the mother of the girl, Nawaz Sharif’s sister-in-law was in attendance.

    Khabija is the daughter of Shahabaz Sharif’s third wife. Shahbaz himself so far is married four times and is currently living with his fourth wife.

    Khabija and Kanv reportedly met in the United States where both were studying together. Kanv completed his MBA from the US after studying in the prestigious Lawrence School in Sanawar in Himachal Pradesh.

    The marriage which was interesting for the obvious reasons of not only being cross border, but also between the first family of Pakistan and an ex-Indian Army General who is known for his strong anti-Pakistan rhetoric. General Hoon is an RSS ideologue and holds a hawkish position on India-Pak relationship. He is settled in Panchkula on the outskirts of Chandigarh city.

    Leading Bangalore-based daily Deccan Herald commented on the marriage, “On either side of the border between India and Pakistan, two elite influential families, including one of Pakistan’s top political family currently in power, ceremoniously entered into a relationship by virtue of the marriage of their children in Chandigarh on Friday.”

    An impressive marriage ceremony took place during the day on Friday, a day considered auspicious by the Muslims, while a lavish reception was arranged at a swanky five-star hotel in Chandigarh in the evening. The event was a testimony to the recognition and blend of cultures, identities and ideologies sans borders.

    For reasons best known to the family, the welcome notice outside the venue read “Somya weds Kanv.” The high-profile reception witnessed a host of VVIPs from the two nations. The list of invitees was carefully crafted and later pruned to make the event a close-knit wedding. Some Punjab MLAs were also present at the marriage.

  5. How to get the Taliban on the Indian side? Doval explains it below. You pay the Taliban 1.5 times more than anybody else. Very interesting. And talks about the "offensive defensive" doctrine. Meaning you go into pakistan and afghanistan. Fight in their land.

    2. Before writing and promoting an anti-Pakistan book in India, American analyst and author Christine Fair said this in 2009: "Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you they are not issuing visas as the main activity!

    Moreover, India has run operations from its mission in Mazar (through which it supported the Northern Alliance) and is likely doing so from the other consulates it has reopened in Jalalabad and Qandahar along the border. Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan". Prominent Pakistani Baloch insurgents likeBrahamdagh Bugti are also being sheltered by the Afghan security and intelligence establishment along with RAW.

    3. Another US analyst Laura Rozen explained India-Taliban nexus as follows: "While the U.S. media has frequently reported on Pakistani ties to jihadi elements launching attacks in Afghanistan, it has less often mentioned that India supports insurgent forces attacking Pakistan, the former (US) intelligence official said.

    "The Indians are up to their necks in supporting the Taliban against the Pakistani government in Afghanistan and Pakistan," the former (US) intelligence official who served in both countries said. "The same anti-Pakistani forces in Afghanistan also shooting at American soldiers are getting support from India. India should close its diplomatic establishments in Afghanistan and get the Christ out of there."

  7. The secularists, commies etc..with long sanskritized names say that conversion is not a part of Hinduism. But Dharm and its protection are fluid and change from age to age. Hence, it now has to be part of Hinduism.

    As for Sikhism, I think that conversion is part of that religion.

    Both Hinduism and Sikhism have done a horrible job at converting others. It has to be a pillar of both religions.

  8. Your jatts? ???

    I've said this before, and I will say it again, so listen up:

    SIKHS DO NOT BELIEVE IN CASTE!!!! Get it? Good.

    Now, you talk about "your mazhabi" brothers. The whole reason that they left Hinduism in the first place is because of this damn caste system labelling!!! And now you have this hypocritical holier than thou attitude? Have some bloody shame before pointing fingers! !

    Let me correct you. The SGGS does not believe in caste but the sikhs do.

  9. By any means neccessary. That's what muslims and Christians believe. The jury is out as to whether this was a set up by the RSS to start a nationwide debate on conversion. I'm talking about the first conversion in Agra not the subsequent ones.

    It's also a test of reactions and solidifying the hindu vote. The secularists got suckered in. The commies, socialists, Islamists want an inquiry when the Christian and Moslem convert but no inquiry when the hindu becomes muslim or christian.

    The Hindu fence sitters are watching this double standard. West Bengal, Punjab and Kerala we are coming.

  10. And that makes it okay, does it?

    For doing forced/tricked conversions, the Muslims were wrong then, and the Hindus are damn wrong now!

    What the hell is wrong with these people! !!?

    Yep, makes it correct. Tricked? I have seen the videos it doesnt seem to me that people are being held against their will. And not every case of conversion can be labeled as tricked or converted. There has been about 6 conversion ceremonies since that particular one and I have not heard tricked or forced.

    Describing the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 as "genocide", Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said several persons who had a "role" in the carnage are yet to be punished.

    "In these incidents (anti-Sikh riots), there are several persons who are yet to be punished. I have faith in our judicial system and these persons will definitely get punishment," Mr Singh said after distributing cheques of enhanced compensation to the riot victims in Tilak Vihar area of west Delhi.

    "I know that until these persons are punished, victims will not get relief. I want to assure that government is with you and will be with you in even bad days," he said.

    The Union minister distributed cheques of Rs. 5 lakh each to 17 kin of the riot victims at a function in Tilak Vihar.

    RE
    • CompensaAccording to a senior government official, enhanced compensation to 2,459 people will soon be given after verification.

    Mr Singh also said that he has constituted a committee under a retired judge to look into the grievances of victims of 1984 riots.

    "I want to assure that after getting complaints through this committee, government will solve them," he said.

    The Centre had recently announced to provide additional Rs. 5 lakh compensation to the kin of Sikhs killed in 1984 riots.

    Mr Singh said that he wanted to give its credit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    Calling the 1984 anti-Sikh riots "genocide", Mr Singh said, "It was not riot, it was genocide instead. Hundreds of innocent people were killed. The pain of the kin of riot victims cannot be compensated by even paying crores of rupees."

    Meanwhile, some kin of the riot victims said they want the culprits to be punished instead of the compensation.

    "My pain cannot be reduced by money and I want to see culprits being punished. Even after 30 years, main culprits are roaming free," 70-year-old Amarjeet, whose husband Satnam was killed in the riots, said after receiving the cheque from the Union Minister.

    "We cannot expect anything from the government. These riots took place in 1984, but the justice is yet to prevail. I don't want money but justice," Bakshish Kaur, whose husband was also killed in the riots.
