Its a kind wordBy: Krishna | Friday , 26 Jun '09 9:31:51 AM Reply | Forward Migraine is a very kind word for Pakistan. More apt words wouldve been plague,cancer, tumour or any other ghastly disease.

undue blame on pakistanBy: Umar | Tuesday , 16 Dec '08 0:28:45 AM Reply | Forward We all are victims of terrorism. But there is a much bigger problem that is being overlooked and that is the poverty prevalent in both the countries, Once we increase the literacy rates and create more jobs the whole problem of terrorism is bound to fade away. To be very frank there is no comparison between India and Pakistan. India has a global focus due its size and manages to extract more support from the international community. On the contrary Pakistan, surrounded by hostile neighbours, lives in a mode of survival which sometimes forces it to adopt deft strategies to maintain a strategic balance in the region. As far as living conditions are concerned Pakistan fares better as it is not as densely populated as india or for that matter Northern India. The numbers might go in India's favour but an average Pakistani has a higher average standard of living

pakistan is tumor and cancerBy: abc | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 21:13:51 PM Reply | Forward pakistan is cancer

Taliban to PakistanBy: varuna | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 19:39:05 PM Reply | Forward In a country where the Taliban threatens to take over the entire nation in a span of just a few months they are talking about India's civil war....that's got to be a joke.

Pakistan's 'internatinoal migraine' is treated by U.S.By: rajmohan k | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 19:08:18 PM Reply | Forward And, this migraine is treated and supported by the U.S. Govt. Millions of dollars are regularly pumped to Pakistan by the U.S. in the name of relief and humanitarian purposes, which in turn is being used to purchase arms and ammunitions and distributed to Terrorists to terrorise India. This is a claim by U.S. senetors themselves. This is U.S. double standard!

Pakistan is an international migraineBy: SV Nagappa | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 13:00:31 PM Reply | Forward Majority of Pakistanis are so uneducated and so poor that they do not even have a bisc understaning of local issues leave alone global. Their leadership is busy rallying these people into a frenzy that they do not understand that such mob incitement leads to lawlessness in its own country which spills outside. Pakistan has failed to live in the international community as a democratic state due to its focus on getting muslim Kashmir back rather than developing its society. Pakistan is international clogged artery which needs immediate bypass. World community has to place sanctions on it to stop its soil being used for terrorism. Didnt the world do that to S. Africa to stop social terrorism of Aparthaid? Deplomacy has a place and so does punishment when negotiations are not working. Pakistani people are so removed from its leaders that there is a disconnect. Sanctions will hit the hip pocket nerve of the people who will wake up and expect better performance from their leaders.

Band is not hindu symbol.By: vbp | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 20:45:14 PM Reply | Forward Hindus wear orange threads on their hands; not bands. But, of course, you are just trolling.

True identityBy: Kim | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 16:17:18 PM Reply | Forward We all knows (sic) you are a Pakistani. The orange band is just as bad a camouflage as your name Shukla.

strong actionBy: mohamed | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 17:20:48 PM Reply | Forward Pakistan is a corrupt country. India ,US and Israel should act together to wipe out the terrorists.

PakipowerBy: Raja | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 17:08:52 PM Reply | Forward Indians are like Hens.When the cat comes to eat them they close their eyes and assume it has gone dark outside and the cat can't see.Indians wake up and do not close eyes on ur own internal issues.Your country is at the brink of civil war.

powerBy: ram | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 18:11:05 PM Reply | Forward Who said that the india under brink of civil war. Just ask IMf, they would cearly indicate and answer your query.

amazingBy: z | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 20:52:17 PM Reply | Forward you guys are all a bunch of morons. In both of your countries, you have rampant corruption and disregard for authority. Pakistan is just as badly off as India. And don't throw the uneducated mark in there. Both of your countries have plenty of uneducated citizens.Both your countries suck. (I'm half indian, half pakistani, so don't throw allegiances at me, your politicians and military machines have made a fool of our race and our culture). Congratulations.
