Those are precisely my thoughts too. Good deed is a good deed, at the end of the day. 😃

I am fine Aladin ji. How r u? Howz ur sister?

Exactly... If he just goes and says that there are poor people who needs education nobody cares much. I think he has learned that he needs to be dramatic and presentable to raise the funds.

I found this av of Mortenson's daughter Amira singing 'Three cups of tea'

Simple answer is no. I don't really want to go too much in details on this one, as it's a bit too controversial for my taste, LOL.

Good question, though Nitz ji. 😃😃

Well that was my answer too 😆.... I have been hearing this debatable question all the time, so just wanted to know if everyone think the same as we do 😊

All is well, Nitz ji. Can't complain too much. 😃😃

What are you up to these days?? 😃

She sings well. She's sweet. 😃 I have to agree. Sometimes, it helps to make certain things publicized. If it's for a good cause, then I have no problems. 😃😃

p.s. It's a nice video. 😃😃

Nothing much Aladin ji... Am stuck at home with no driver's license (my school is in GA and need to go there to renew every time i update my I20) to even go out. Am just trying to keep myself busy with whatever interests me at home for now 😕.

yup, she sings well... Looks like she is also following her dad's foot steps 😊.

Oh, that sucks. Do you know how to drive though?? You can take a test, I think. Either you need your SS or you can provide them a letter from the embassy (must be something). Look into it. 😃

I'm also learning cooking, Nitz ji. Do share any good recipes you have. If they are simple to make, then that's better, LOL. 😃😃

Yeah, looks like it. It's great, I think. He's doing something worthwhile. As it is, in such areas, people don't focus on education, specially for the girls. It'll open up their minds more. 😃😃

Ever since the violent partition that pulled India and Pakistan apart, Kashmir had been combustible. India, with its superior military force, was able to seize the majority of the former principality. And though India promised to hold elections, and let Kashmiris determine their own future, the overwhelmingly Muslim population of Kashmir had never been extended that opportunity.

To the people of Pakistan, Kashmir became a symbol of all the oppression they felt Muslims had suffered as British India unraveled. And to Indians, Kashmir represented a line drawn, if not in the sand, then across a range of eighteen-thousand-foot peaks. It became the territorial jewel that the Jammu-Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) fighters they branded terrorists could not be allowed to wrest from India's crown. And to both sides, the line drawn over inhospitable glaciers at the behest of Britain's Lord Mountbatten remained a raw wound reminding them of their colonial humiliations.

Do you think that Lord Mountbatten was the sole reason to split India and Pakistan?

Nitzy tis is a deep question..Things are never as simple as we think they are.

Imagine the landmass of India pre partition..You had Pakistan+India+bangladesh
I think even Srilanka was a part of it.

Out founding fathers had decidedly socialist leanings too.
The western countries specially The US don't think or strategize in terms of a few months or a year they think in terms of 20 years ..50 years.
Basically they might have forseen us a threat or getting too powerful..
Because much thought wasn't given to partition,they divided the boundary on paper,they didn't even go and see the geography,the people,no proper census was done either.
They knew there would be a bad fallout .
Hell you plan,create risk documents, have a disaster recovery plan for even a small business project.
How come a country was divided with such haste and so much ineptitude..

India did the same with Srilanka.The Tamil had been fighting there for years..we didn't bother did we......Come 1971,Srilanka offers its naval base for use to Pakistan/US raising India's hackles.
How did we eliminate that threat..LTTE.
We effectively gave them enough troubles of their own to stop them from being a threat to us.
Which is what the west has done to us..given enough troubles of our own,

And another thing India is never going to give up Kashmir, we are holding on to it on sound theory.
1>Water>>Most of our rivers originate around that area..Hell all of Pakistan's water supply goes through India
2>Geographically ..gives us strategic depth.It would be a logistical nightmare for a big army to cross over
3>It would be extremely foolish to give into Kashmir's demand based on religion.
That would give rise to Insurgency in other states/
We have had the Khalistan movement,Tamil movement,naga insurgency and many more incidents..
