Mile Sur Mera Tumhara ...


As rightly pointed by an anonymous reader, I've updated the title.
Chindu has an article - Against extremism

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (centre) joins hands with his counterparts from Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari (right) and Afghanistan Hamid Karzai, as they arrive in Tehran on Sunday for a summit on Islamic extremism and drug smuggling. They signed the Tehran Declaration under which they will work towards bringing security to the region.

Really, a Shia working with a Sindhi Sunni and a Pashtun sounds like a plan. Except that none of the three have the ultimate say in their country.
Ergo the moniker for them - The three stooges.

In today's news- Sonia Mu Ka divorce imminent and more

In many family oriented Indian movies the child is often the fulcrum between its parents getting together or moving away. Apparently in Indian politics the same apply. Rahul's overtures to the Left parties about a post poll alliance (which exposes the secular parties stance) appears to have not gone well with the DMK which had decided not to canvass for the Congress candidates. Now Sonia has decided to avoid rallies in TN. The spin given to this is,
A few weeks ago, Central and State intelligence agencies had perceived a threat to the VVIP from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Laskhar-e-Taiba and some sympathisers of Tamil Eelam.

Zardari in another bombastic statement states,
Democracies have never gone to war. No Pakistani democratic government has gone to war with India. We’ve always wanted peace.

What about Kargil Mr. Zardari? Terrorism in Kashmir? All instances of war.
Elsewhere in the country, the accused killers of AP CM YSR were sentenced to life imprisonment. Not spit on the grave of Y.S.Raja Reddy, but as per people with the inside story the a-hole deserved what he got.
In the Editorials Psycho Sidd rants about India's intervention against the Maoist Nepal government. I can see his blind faith towards his ideology but some of his rationale is hilarious, for example,
He remained firmly opposed to the democratisation of the army and did his best to scuttle integration.

The primary view of the Nepal Army chief was to ensure qualified persons joined the army. But Left wing writers like Sidd would want every goon with the sickle and hammer logo to be automatically inducted.

Will Zardari usher in change or eat crow?

Recently the new Pakistani Prez Mr. Zardari Bhutto decided to go on the offensive and declare the militant groups in Kashmir as terrorists.
He spoke of the militant groups operating in Kashmir as “terrorists,” the paper said, noting that former President Pervez Musharraf would more likely have called them “freedom fighters.”

This is a far change from the official Pakistan statements in the past when they have claimed the militants in Kashmir as 'freedom fighters'.
Chindu which has long promoted the illogical and radical theory of socio economic factors being the lead contributors to Kashmiri militancy is now left in the lurch. Hence the reporter covering Pakistan, the venerable Ms.Nirupama Subramanian decided to focus the issue towards the lack of response from the parties involved.
Zardari probably in some inebriated mood decided to break the ice by making more statements like these,
India has never been a threat to Pakistan. I, for one, and our democratic government is not scared of Indian influence abroad

The bigger question is will Zardari usher in change in the troubled relationships between the 2 countries or be forced to eat crow by the ISI and other people?
