Mani and Burkra are wrong, India is done with partition, nobody gives it a damn..we only talk about Pakistan not killing Indians through its army of jehadis. Bit this discussion was interesting we have two aspiring jehadis in india burka and mani on one side and one loner Parvez who does now know if anyone supports him in Pakistan. What i enjoyed most was the acting of burka, her artificial passion, not sure whom she is trying to impress here.

Mani's grand-standing is nauseating. Has he no respect for lives lost in the India vs. Pakistan conflicts? He is suggesting to open the borders with Pakistan so that we can have a 7/11 every day of the year.

despite of being Indian, i am absolutely in love with Parvez hoodbhoy , he is so intelligent and he speak so well.

@rahulforworld Yes .. and whole of the media including Tehelka is involved in putting entire Nira Radia affair under the carpet.

[rodyatube]

Why they can't get any better journalist than Dutt. She is exposed in Nira Radia tapes, working for the politicians, the lobbyists and the businessmen in the grab of a journalist. She should be boycotted at least by Tehelka.

Sorry i said Dutt i was meant to say MANI.

[tilopa07]

Actually this mani is a socialist and it is because of such persons we chased the wild socialist dream for almost 50 years after independence until 1991

@unitydeck there are actually 'countries without borders' ... for example within UK England and Scotland have porous borders ... so is the case within EU and between USA and Canada ... however I agree with you that we can co-exist peacefully with borders ...

[TheMaskwa]

@TheMaskwa i mean did you hear what he had to say about ajmal kasab and the visa?!?! terror strikes are not a result of open borders but a failure of security. terrorists wont come here with a visa...

[TheMaskwa]

@ram333312 you are pretty stupid. dont you realise that what he says is effective after paradigm changes in the attitudes of the two countries. this means that there wont be any cross border terrorism simply because the public in pakistan wont support it. if they dont support it, and if democracy in pakistan becomes more effective, then there wont be any cross border terrorism. ONLY peace can ensure the prosperity of both countries. the prosperity that india sees today will go if we have war..
