Armenia’s Pakistanesque Problem – Bravado Doesn’t Win Wars

Armenia has a huge Pakistanesque problem. The focus of Armenia, just like Pakistan is not perseverance and survival. It is integration of Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia. What happens to Armenia in the process, who cares?

Diwali Crackers Ban: Can Hindus Rebel Against Selective Bans on Hindu Festivals?

All the social activists, law practitioners, judges, politicians, student unions, local politicians, civic bodies, who understand the value of freedom, please come forward. Let us unite. It is now or never. Let us fight this battle of bans on Hinduism by crooks. Let us rebel against any such order may be issued next. I have heard that they have banned Chhat Puja in Delhi and Bengal. I have seen no protests been registered by the BJP as well. Keep this noted and fight this battle by Uniting and rebelling against any such orders. Let us fight and win this battle of bans and perceptions.
