		<description>Anitha, you have a short memory or a limited knowledge of recent history. When the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in the 1990s one of the very first things they did was close all girls schools by force, throw women out of the paid workforce, and take away even the meagre rights women had previously had. They made women completely dependent on men, unable to move about freely,invisible,and basically imprisoned in their homes. As a result there is a whole generation of uneducated females. Of course the Taliban are terrified of educated and independent females, or they would not have done these things. They are mysogynist neanderthals of the first order who cannot comprehend even the most basic human rights for females, let alone equal human rights with men. So why are you trying to say they are not responsible for the current campaign of forcible closure of schools? It is a central tenet of their ideology.

		<description>I have heard it all, but can someone tell me why as people who share a common history as us (India and Pakistan) have so much of hatred towards each other? I cant understand this quite. We would rather make friends with China and Russia or some other country far away. Enlighten me friends without abusing me.Please</description>

		<description>@indians----with the Obama&#039;s inaugural speech it is clear that whose side USA is, despite indians effort to defame PAKISTAN the amount of aid against War on terrors has increase 50%, and we all know that US is not stupid enough to give more aid to a country which is not its ally and not help it against its war on terror. So stop making stories and come to reality, all your efforts to destroy Pakistans&#039; integrity have failed. Now your government have plan to gain some money through auction of things it purchased to show PAKISTAN involvement in mumbai incident.</description>

		<description>Peace,
truth is not what i say or you say. Truth is the deduction based on real evidences. Evidences point to elements based in pakistan (Miind it that not just Indian but US agencies are saying it). This has been shared with your govt and has been accepted by your govt. As per them they are doing the enquiry.Father of the captured terrorist has owned up his son. List is long. Use a good neutral reporting to learn more about it.

Don&#039;t worry I will give you years to do so coz growing up and maturing takes years :-)</description>

&quot;i am willing to know the name of person who made Hindu Mahasabha and not the person who trigger the bullet.
And what about the person who planned the assasination of Rajeev Gandhi.&quot;

Well both cases had an enquiry, killer of Ghandhi was a member of RSS but does this means RSS killed him?

Rajiv ghandhi was killed by LTTE everyone knows that. 

There were enquiries in both cases, but what is stopping you to enquire murder of benazir and gen zia, pak says that they will probe into mumbai attacks, why cant they investigate murder of own leaders. Why you are rushing to UN for benazir investigation.

By the way do you have any idea why and who killed murtaza bhutto ? Goe News still show the clipping banazir saying &quot;I think some ISI officers killed murtaza&quot;</description>

		<description>@rajeev...ok Pakistan failed to identify killers of Late Zia-ul-Haq, but i wonder if you could give me the name of person behind killing of Gandhi, i am willing to know the name of person who made Hindu Mahasabha and not the person who trigger the bullet.
And what about the person who planned the assasination of Rajeev Gandhi.</description>

		<description>@Peace,
..tell me why picture of (so-called) terrorist was digitally processed to remove the wrist band (wear by almost 99% of indians I know)...

-- This is the high stupidity of you and your intelligent nation.
If a man wears a Tazcat Cap and a women wears a burkha and kill few people in Pakistan or Kashmir, are we called Muslims? Have some sense.

...why india is not handing over the arrested terrorist to PAKISTAN...
-- Pakistan seek Counselor Access to meet the Terrorist, why didn&#039;t they came?
-- Why didn&#039;t Pakistan claimed the dead bodies of other 9 terrorists? Have some sense!

...I’ll give you time because i know that making stories take time…...
-- Thanks at least you had some sense to say this, however you must also take sometime to say such stories here.</description>
