End of the Imaginary Durand Line

[Ray]

Are you in the imperial days, my good man?

Provincial Coat of arms?

Is that what Pakistan sports these days, old bean?

I thought the British relinquished power in 1947, though I did see that Pakistan quake and quail when admonished about home-grown terrorists of Pak madrassasa knocking the door of the Mother country (Britain)! Still a slave of Britain? Is it a different issue that US does decide your future and actions!

Good man, Pakistan may kowtow to British imagery for aid and money to survive, but sadly for your non updated knowledge India gave up this slavish practice in 1947!

India has no qualms about what Pakistan does.

Have a great kowtowing life!

Isn't that the provincial coat of arms for Arunachal Pradesh?

Its the way things have been headed since 1993, in fits and starts of course:

Since 1993, you ran this course till 1998:

Oops, then suddenly in 2001 the course turned around in a matter of three months to this:

and this:

and this:

Even now the course is dangerously shifting to this?

If your dont catch up with the general idea, it may turn to this:

So if I understand it correctly, the Durrand line was just a 100 year ceasefire which the Afghan Kings signed and repeatedly ratified to save themselves from total conquest and subjugation. They bought themselves until 1993 when it expired. This one looks a lot more realistic to be honest. Its the way things have been headed since 1993, in fits and starts of course:

Colonel,

You are a gentleman and I always value that.

I wish many more were like you.

What is a thread?

Nothing to come in between a friendship that I cherish and hopefully will have some reciprocation.

You are a man of intelligence and not brash senseless and illiterate bravado.

Sir,

Then allow me to personally apologize to you for deleting that thread though as I stated, it was not through malice. Nevertheless, I am the one responsible for it being gone and therefore, I am the one responsible for silencing that view of yours.

Though that thread did not end properly, I am the one who denied you your say and for that, I am sorry, Sir.

Sir,

German Kakar is a sock puppet for a number of personalities that I cannot keep straight, at least one of which is a female, two male, and one is gender neutral as far as I can tell.

The person was banned for having multiple registrations, not for his views. If I met this person, I seriously recommend some professional medical help ... at least from his/her/its postings.

I appreciate what you are saying.

However, Expose him/ her with the weakness on facts.

and then Ban.

If you recall the thread that you wiped out forever so that none could check the facts, when I was banned.

You were all low on facts and high on biases and you could not debate it out and so you one of your head honchos used his Divine Right to ban me.

I am not saying that anyone was illiterate. It is just that none cared to use his God given brains.

I am sure it did not do the credibility of the Forum any good!

The fire in me that made me love WAB like a part of my life has been extinguished by some bigoted dunderheads.

Even Zeng is afraid of being banned for giving his views!

Unless 1000 flowers bloom, we will be frogs in the well.

Take it or leave it!

I have MUCH to add, but then there is BIG BROTHER!

Watch this space!

Truth is never pleasant!

No comments.

I have been cautioned by a friend to take it easy.

I respect that view.

The are more dear to me than my comments on bigoted views!

It seems like you have something to add, sir. Please feel free to do so, I am not easily bruised, at least not when I know in advance that the ride may be rough.

I have already received my caution!

Are you afraid to face the truth?

Some are!

Are we to be afraid of being banished?

This is India's 60th year of independence.

A whole lot of tamasha is on on the BBC?

If Mahatma Gandhi could stand-up for the truth, it would be damned shame if I cowered down with cowardice!

I am not afraid of the truth, since I do not believe that truth or lies are the property of men. There is no "I am right/wrong". There is: "truth/lies have me in their grasp". Truth is instilled in the minds of men like a benevolent spirit, and lies hold men in their grasp. Being corrected is by no means being insulted, since it is not your own personal views that are being assaulted, but the evil spirit of lie that holds the man in it's grasp.

I have nothing to fear since I know that every correction I receive is a liberation of my mind, and the people who do so do it for my own good.
I have rather a friend who would point out my weaknesses all day long than a friend who would tell me pretty perfumed lies that would make me feel good.

Do you think banishment is such a great threat to have one muzzled?

The Indo Pak clashes educated me a lot. May not have been education for some with biases. Check the Pak Defence Forum. We still debate in histrionic terms and thinks are still fine!

All cedit to those who run that forum including my 'enemy' Asim and my friend Neo!

Believe it or not, Asim ask me to return there.

I have no regrets.

Only the COWARDS are afraid of the TRUTH!

Entrophy,

Banning is common place.

Tell me something new!

There are people who are not too well read who have the powers!.

Not that I agree with the one who is banned, but I would not cow him down with Divine rights that I have as a part of being a Governor of the Board that runs the forum!

I would have the moral courage to take the person on with truth and facts!

Truth and facts are both beautiful things, sir, although they need a person who can understand and appreciate them. Not everyone can do so. Some of them kill the messenger if you present them the truth, others consider it a personal attack. Yet another group simply won't listen.

I've heard WAB has had a history of Indo-Pakistani clashes, that were solved by the generous use of moderator priveleges.
Spare the banishment and spoil the online forum user.
