2: That at the first sign of Parihakas Variant being enacted, the Brit will immediately loose all testicular fortitude and start apologising profusely, despite the fact said Brit probably wasn't there and the argument wasn't about the Raj anyway.
3: Said Brit will then form a queue with any other available Brits and begin appologising to each other and any passers-by in a bad tempered and nasally sort of way.
4: Having despatched the Brits, the Indians will then start moaning about the Moslems, Communists, Pakistanis, and of course the British, before completely falling out with each other for lack of a better adversary.

6: Every society has its far share of idiots.
(Now, can somebody write Parihakas Observed Variant into Wiki? I want to be famous)

I did not consider it a duel at all.
It was a very interesting debate and many facts were thrown up, of which I did not know, including on the caste system.
I remain more educated that before and this thread should be archived as a very informative thread since excellent posts have been made on both sides of the argument.
I thank all including Parihaka and his interesting post - a lesson in diplomacy.
Applying for the UN Secretary General's post? Let us ban Ban but must watch out that one does not become Susilo Bambang.

Oh well done men 334 posts in a thread that's been done to death. The same people with too much to say again said too much. O what a surprise. Perhaps the Brits who might be somewhat aggrieved about the take over from the sub Continent may consider going to their site and moan endlessly. If you can put chips on your shoulders why so much the better. Make mountains out of molehills. Whine and whinge as you have seen the experts do it. Put chips on shoulders. Procrastinate always. Make sure you use long newspaper articles. They haven't even got to be all that germane, just make sure they are as long and as tedious as you can find. Miss the point as often as you can. Go off on a tangent, and hint darkly that all is not well. Make sure what you say is ambivalent, then blame the others for not understanding your meaning. Remember, your target is at least 335 posts full of wind.

My apologies. I did not notice.Subba are you having a pop at the English language that Ray and yourself so eloquently pen forsooth , if so its jolly well not on is it , anyways must go i harv a skedual to keepThat was inadvertent Tankie Sir. Plus why do you say we are having a pop at the language? We have praised it no end. Does a spelling error make it otherwise..hmmm
Twas inadvertent sir. Truly. Have a good day Tankie sir.
Ray,thanks for the paradox,a lesson in Diplomacy from a Kiwi?
Glyn,
Hardly.
Who is whining and moaning now?
Is being educated and informed an infirmity?
Oh BTW, this is not a home crewed British site.
Note crewed and not brewed!

so whose apple pie a$$ is getting kicked this friday? from big brother.
My dear boy, neither my seniority nor my moderator status should preclude you from a critique of my posts, only your own overly-polite timidity is holding you back.Parihaka Sir, you have too many generalizations on Indians in your post. And some i consider outright incorrect. I won't comment on them as you are a moderator and senior poster. As for us Indian posters here i think only very few did rounds. I appreciate the difficulty of British posters who have to defend accusations of racism as a whole on their society. It's not easy and they did a good job. But on the whole we all have been civilized and i thought the discussion did not lower anyone Sir despite minor brinkmanship.
For that reason i don't think you get your wiki fame as of now Sir.
My moderator status only comes into play when forum rules have been broken and I have seen none of that here, far from it.
Finally I'm aware of the generalisations about both the Indian and British societies that I made here, that was a part of the joke based on the generalisations made throughout this, at times, hilarious thread.
Sorry missed thisAbout Parihaka sir, i wrongly called he generalized on Indians. He generalized on Brits too.
Imagine i saw only my side. Parihaka sir, you got 1 point right. And i'm not going to tell you which one.

So you can have no objection if some Brits go to your Indian threads and do the same? I think you will not appreciate this. Expect a barrage of newspaper excerpts to start their ranging action soon. It may only be single gun ranging until I am confident that target rounds have been achieved, then Battery fire.Glyn,
Hardly.
