India funding Taliban fighters

Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik not only claimed on Monday that India was funding the Taliban fighters who were wreaking havoc in Pakistan, but also added he was ready to confront the Indian government with the evidence.

?I?m convinced about it, he told a television news channel. There are elements which do not want Pakistan to be stable. Asked if India was among them he said, Of course.

He reiterated India was also instigating Pakistan?s troubles in Balochistan. A number of Pakistani commentators agreed with Malik. There are more Indians in Afghanistan than foreigners from any other country, said Fozia Saeed, well-known academic. It makes me feel there may be more than meets the eye.

After a few of the European countries have decriminalized same sex marriage, it is now the turn for the Indian Government to decide whether gays and lesbians can proudly proclaim their sexual orientation.
Some are even going to such an extent as saying that its true secularism and Gandhi's dream being realized and it's in line with the thinking of Pt. Nehru who believed in the brotherhood and equality of all men and woman irrespective of religion,caste,creed and sex!
And that the rights of all minorities should always be upheld in India.
I agree with the fact that people do not choose their sexual preference. It's inherent. It's like left handedness. You can train a left hander to use his right hand but given a chance he still would use his left hand.
Opinions please?

Wow ,look at that, didn't know they have problems there ,too....

I would like to share my story with you to show that what is happening in Dubai is surely and undoubtedly so vile, so manifestly an affront to our dearest Zoroastrian values and precepts, that one must ask:
What in God's name are we doing here?

My story will convey to you the grave injustices that have been meted out to me and my family and which completely ruined our lives, and I would like to remain anonymous, for fear of persecution and harassment from
the Dubai Government Authorities, to my friends and colleagues, who continue to work there. Let me start from the beginning.

There was a time, in Punjab, north India, when any Indian male returning from the west - the UK, US, Canada, Australia - to find a pretty bride back home would have hordes of gorgeous women queuing outside his door, desperate for marriage, no questions asked.
The man's appeal was extrinsic, namely, the chance to escape poverty and hardship for a better, more comfortable life abroad.
Next in line were the professionals who worked in India's booming IT and software industry and call centres. Their salaries, promotion prospects and chances of overseas postings made them very desirable.
