As expected and I knew the blame to shifts to those muslims who fired cricketer on Pakistan victory. But I expected my friend to embrace me and celebrate our countries victory together. But by repelling me which I felt that he wanted me to grieve on pakistan loss. So what can I say it is my hindu friend who is forcing me away to shun my patriotism. An introspective for those all who think.

Dear Rehman, dont beg for friendship and understanding, your fault is that you are in an era which is most confusing for the muslims of the world, though not most tragic, for the most tragic was when south asia was divided and millions lost their homes, or during 1st world war turkey lost its empire, or when the british made the muslims slave..this era is not tragic at all....but confusing yes....because today the war is not religious.....it is driven by greed and lust....the lust for oil...the lust for control over economy....the lust for control over land...but tell me truth....are these mission of muslims?? Those who think that muslims are supporter of the terrorism...are wrong...for those who support terrorism are not muslim at all...what does being a muslim entails?? Find the answer first and then complain...all those who cast upon venom are doing so because they are suffering from some kind of heart disease/or may be mental disease due to prolonged exposure to the internet...Remember why India is respected today is becuase Indians have learned to be good to others, repect all religions and cultures, speak truth and be reasonable...though awestuck by its economic power why today people have become so critical of america is because it is trying to thrust upon others its own culture and beliefs...while India is still respected by the world

agreed...infact, there wont be many muslims to accept this...its Arab culture in the disguise of Islam...but the Arab way of life of that time was superior to the prevailing conditions in Asia in those days...the Arab culture was rich in literature, economy and political thought...even today many state government in India work in Arabic...e.g. in UP the land records and court records are kept in Farsi and Arabic...Infact that was not wrong...the conflict arrived when the desert people of Arab failed to understand the simple "Aryan" way of life...which was nothing but a thatched mud house, vast greenary and mother "cow" which gave milk, curd and desi ghee...the Arab butchered the cow and made a huge red stone building called Forte for himself using the local poor people, artisan and resources...probably that was the start of the conflict

Dear Kalyan Mitra....the people you have named have no meaning to me...Tiesta and Javed Akhtar because they have not seen the life from the close quarters and have not lived what they preached..(infact I had a long argument with Jaweds Brother Salmaan who married his children in Pakistan and then wrote a Book "along the Ganges" which was hyped by India).I have views on Kashmir, though I am not from Kashmir....I am from Uttar Pradesh and the land of Shaheed-e-watan Ashfaq and Ram Prasad Bismil...Shahjahanpur...The problem with Kashmir is that Kashmiris are different...they are not like us north Indians ... and their fault is that they do not mix up with us....they flock together and due to the long standing dispute they get emmigration to UK, US and Canada easily...so there is no need for them to toil in Delhi and Mumbai for a Job...they easily get admission in AMU and other Jamias...an average Kashmiri is also not poor...so you see they do not see themselves as part of India...infact, they have a sense of superiority over Indian's...Now for Kashmiri Pandits....they have lost their lands and properties to Muslim Kashmiris and the Government of India is not providing any subsistance to them at the same time when Afghan Refugees in India are getting subsistance allowances and support...coutl write more if there was space..
