“do you have any Indian ancestry?”
I find that rather patronizing considering I spend half of my time there. And yes I do have Indian ancestory on my Father’s side.
sorry if it sounded like that; that wasn’t intended as its not that easy to work out someones ancestry or ethnicity over the internet unless they tell you (but thats also a good thing!)
however you’ve not mentioned it before other than the “Mother India” comment; I don’t know you from Adam, youve started a number of confrontational threads and people often make comments just to stir things up.
BTW my mothers side of the family is Indian, my fathers side is Chinese, and I was born in SE London because the two racial groups in Malaysia (where they lived) did not tolerate my parents relationship (which is why they came to England), so I am well aware of how effectively race, culture and differences of opinions can divide communities (such as to a point where your family is dispersed across various countries and the world). At the same time I have also learnt the value of dialogue and diversity.

BTW what is your idea to the Kashmiri ‘crisis’ (probable cause of attack) solution? Like I said before the radical moslems love death more than life.
Shanti shanti!
maybe these ones do – but not all Muslims are radical or prepared to kill.
many of the radicalised Muslims (I have encountered them in my college days) are disaffected angry young men who join criminal gangs looking for an identity just like Western football hooligans. They do not represent the entire Muslim population.
There is no easy solution – the only thing I can think of is to deploy a multinational UN force to Kashmir (containing sufficient number of Asian troops of all religions to avoid paranoia over “Western Imperialism” or domination of any one religion) until an uneasy “peace” can be reached.
Where required IN, PK and CN will need to cooperate and use conventional enforcement like cops, security services to disrupt attacks by radicals preferably before they happen – but at the same time ensuring as far as possible individual freedom is not unduly restricted.
The best you could get it to I reckon would be a similar situation to Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the civil war is still ongoing but there are slow moves towards a consensus and less people are blown up these days).
