It's like religion. If people believe it to be true then it is true.

I have been told it's sexy.

Quoting Rumi, wanting to get rid of material possessions, a hand carry ready for ziarat trips. What's going on with you @starlight!!??

Everyone is talking about whether or not it'd be halal to consume lab grown 'meat,' but no one is asking if that thing would be meat in the first place, and whether it would be safe to consume? Even regular animals raised on chemically altered feed in artificial environments isn't healthy to consume in the long term. Personally, I only count pasture raised and grass fed animals and birds as proper meat, but it's becoming harder and harder to afford especially in countries where natural farming is a fringe activity.

Rasmalai and rasgulla are very different dishes. I am not sure if Bengalis use the same names for both as in the rest of the Subcontinent.

A must read piece on the reality of Kashmir situation by a retired Indian colonel.... Read full here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/03/kashmir-in-perilous-state-because-of-indias-pivot-to-nationalism

There were lots of jets flying and keeping watch but no resumption of hostilities from India was noted. Rajasthan-Bahawalpur border is an international border and any attack would have been a declaration of war. I don't think India seriously planned to attack. They must have discussed it and sounded the threat to keep Pak on its toes but starting a war at this point would be suicidal on the part of the Indians. Modi will be buried (read burned) deep into the woods in the coming elections Inshallah.

Najam Sethi said this 8 years ago.

There has been a lot of progress since Musharraf as I noted earlier in the thread. But the speed was slow and not enough was done due to the worsening of situation in Pak due to war next door in Afghanistan. Contrary to popular Indian thinking, the top military brass isn't planning and ordering attacks across the border through anti-India militants to bleed India. Not only does it not help Pak's case, it damages their reputation and makes us look like troublemakers. But anti-India militant networks have been around for decades, deeply entrenched in society, and have formidable links across the LoC with Kashmiri separatists. They get a massive boost every time things go awry in Kashmir. They don't need Pak army's assistance to do what they do. But there has been a meaningful crackdown on them either due to internal political reasons. The crackdown on anti-Pakistan terrorists have paid huge dividends. Now it's about time to take stern action against those militant networks who use Pak soil to hurt the neighbouring countries. https://www.dawn.com/news/1467524/govt-plans-decisive-crackdown-on-militant-outfits

I didn't think you would. This is to show how strong and influential the extreme right has become in India, thanks to Modi and his ideological brethren. Leftist and saner voices are being shut down and labelled as traitorous whenever they question the official line. Nationalistic jingoism will hurt the Indian society in the coming years.
