azad kashmir is a sham... elections are going to be held there and each candidate has to publicly support pakistan's claims on kashmir. he cant stand for kashmiri independence. contrast this with indian-kashmir where separatists are allowed to contest. incidentally, azad means free, quite an oxymoron in this case.
the bulk of PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) is composed of "northern areas", which are under direct control of the government. the pakistani government is also changing the ethnic composition of this region by migration from elsewhere, a trick used by their chinese buddies in tibet too.
dude... get ur facts right before spouting any random junk!
perhaps you should check your facts... the invasion of east pakistan was hardly an invasion. refugees were pouring into india in the face of atrocities being committed by the pakistani army. it was not for the sake of any imperial ambitions that india invaded. similarily... ipkf was invited to sri lanka.
india has had non-congress govts. before deve gowda... morarji desai (1977), charan singh, vp singh (1989). as for the bjp's "fanaticism"... nothing spectacular happened during its rule which hadnt happened under previous regimes.
can u please back that observation up by figures ? most of the population in India doesnt even possess a PC, a very small no. of PC owners have an Internet connection.
This minority of PC owners with net connections are mostly city dwellers with knowledge of English and wouldnt need Realplayer of all software in their vernacular language. Ppl use the English version of Windows/Office all the time and its no big deal.
I cant imagine ppl installing Realplayer for linguistic reasons!
perhaps this would help in reducing the influence of english in the Computing world.
Most of the words/terms used are in English, with little or no equivalent in the native language of different countries.
Users have to deal with the learning curve of the software as well as the language. This is one of the major factor hindering the adoption of computers by underprivileged sections of society.
the caste system is not just limited to Hindus. The various other religions like Islam,Christianity and Sikhism too follow it.
The people who converted to these religions keep their original caste. Hence people from lower castes who convert to these religions are looked down upon by the upper castes of these religions.
So, strictly speaking, its the Indian caste system.
