Re: Football world cup - 2018 - news, views, rants

All Asian teams have done well except Saudi and Australia. Incredible to see Japanese also went toe to toe with taller stronger Senegal. Iran almost eliminated Portugal there. Korea also did well and defeated a motivated German team. I hope India can use the improving football standards in Asia to o...

Re: Football world cup - 2018 - news, views, rants

Irani team against Spain looked like how India plays against Iran. You cannot play so defensive that if you win the ball back in midfield you are still kicking it out of play trying to run down the clock and hope for 0-0 draw. Very depressing show overall. Spanish goal was bound to happen. In other ...

Any Indian/Desi origin players in any of the world cup teams this time? I remember last time France had an Indo-Mauritian guy on their team (backbencher).

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

This Dubai chef issue and the Iran head scarf issues are propping up and in both cases the said Muslim countries are supposed to be on better terms with India. Don't know how relevant the point is, I understand a Muslim country is a Muslim country end of the day regardless, but still. Just unfortuna...

Re: Love & Marriage Nukkad

I agree. Call and be prepared to leave voicemail if unanswered, don't just leave a missed call but don't text either. Prepare a sheet with bullet points prior to making phone call regarding the voicemail content, this way there is no freewheeling while leaving VM. If possible, have the recorded VM p...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

The problem is that partition was hoisted onto Indian freedom movement so hastily and then the Congress polity decided to act like it never happened. India could have been secular on paper but regardless the political Muslim voice should have been nullified and kept nullified after partition. That m...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

What is the deal with Tripura CM farting away despite Modi warning to BJP leaders to watch it? I can understand dilli door hai mentality persists regarding northeast states for all parties but Kolkata is not that door from Tripura. Maybe better vetting should have been done especially given that Wes...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - 2 (Mar 2018 - )

Bengali language friends, is there any nationalistic minded Bengali language publication, online or in print? I know of Dainik Juga Sankha but they have a clear northeast base, not Kolkata/WB. Bong "intellectuals" on FB are writing proses about how Vivekananda did kumari puja of Kashmiri Muslim boat...

Re: The Great Indian Political Drama - Oct 2017

The illegal immigration into West Bengal by Bangladeshi Muslims isn't what is usurping West Bengals demography. It is enormously higher by multiples birth rate of the local West Bengal Muslims (both Bengali and Urdu speaking) than Hindus that is creating sharp rise in Muslim percentage. Hasn't Bangl...

It is okay if Indian public money is not being used towards the treatment and all SSwaraj is doing is speeding up a visa attainment process.

Re: Bangladeshi infiltration / refugee issue

Why not just have provisions whereby the Indian embassy in Bangladesh is able to provide citizenship to any Bangladeshi Hindu or Buddhist that applies for it? Everyone else coming from BD via covert means are illegal.
