Re: Consequences of Free Trade with India
Surya thanks for the lengthy explanation. You said cultural colonisation occurs b/c of ecnonomic strength. Hmmm. That's an interesting theory and it could be true. I'd be interested to know more details through which you can back this.
Anyways, the point is: I don't trust the Indian government b/c I think they have their own underlying aims for all this and I'm not comfortable with letting them into my country.
Your govt has to prove that it is trustworthy b/c your track record is not good as far as honoring mutual commitments with Pak is cocerned.
TNWB wow that's news to me about the US dumping medicines in India. We better not be getting such medicine in Pak. I wouldn't be surprised if the Indian govt didn't care about the welfare of the poor people there, they recently refused foreign aid for the Indian Tsunami victims just coz that would make them appear more powerful and be a positive thing for them getting the UN Security council seat. The Indian public widely condemned this decision of the govt.
Its sad that our govt has already opened doors to free trade with India. I guess we can just pray to Allah that no bad comes out of it.
queer as usual you missed the crux of my argument and are addressing peripheral issues.
As for DDLJ, I know very well who I am, what my identity is. I am not a confused person. So, even if I watch DDLJ a million times it won't make any difference to me. However, if we show the dirty movies your movie industry makes to our little kids its not going to have a good effect on them. You shouldn't be making such movies or letting your own young ones be exposed to such things either.
Aejaz dude, you REALLY need a chill pill.
And in our religion, our survival is given first preference. We are not allowed to eat pork but if we are dying of hunger and its the only things avlbl we can. It was keeping that in mind that I said "if it was a matter of survivial".
As for who'se the immature one, I think its pretty obvious from your "rotoo" attitude that you are.
And I'm glad you decided not to read my posts again. I won't have to deal with replies like yours anymore.
Chandbeti from my experience Indians do have this dream of ruling over a united subcontinent. Indians, not all but many, also have a habitof hiding their true intentions.
sabah you're right that we should be able to overcome adversity as a nation and survive this, and that's exactly why we should avoid this situation in the first place. It doesn't make sense to head into a situation which from the outset seems unfavorable.
