In the case of India, one politician did seem to set the agenda that has plagued the nation since the time of Independence. Wily politician Jawarhar Nehru managed to snag a nationalist movement, the Congress, and turn it into a family owned private entity which has then ruled the nation for...

As someone who has been actively following what has been happening in India for he past few years, the above statement is what is usually bandied about by the liberal press. There has not been a single instance that has been proven through various investigations, a Supreme Court of India...

I am no expert on Islam, but there does NOT appear to be any specific number of virgins/houris specified in the koran. According to the hadiths, or sayings of the pomfret through here is what I found: [i]in his Koranic commentary (Tafsir) of Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72: "The Prophet...

Kashmir is an integral part of India. Just as during our American Civil war, the government of India is justified in whatever measures it deems necessary to quell insurrection by terrorists bred by various hate spewing Madrasaas outside of India. I agree terming someone as Islamic Terrorist...

The 'official' number of dead is now 137 and the number injured is 230. Usually the GOI underestimates the number of dead. Sad, extremely sad how the innocent are the ones to suffer. It is much more than muslim verses others though. The terrorists do not distinguish. Not many people realise...

Far from it. It was only after the visits of the adjuster and his team (photographer, etc.,) and on his advise to submit (I think) 2 quotations, that we decided on the independent adjuster. We did not, and do not have any intention of 'padding' the estimate. We submitted 3 quotations...

We did inform the insurance company, and their adjuster did come down a few times to inspect.

:( Any suggestion would be gratefully accepted. Here in a nutshell (big nutshell) is what has happened: We have been homeoweners for the past 11 years with no claims on home insurance. Six months ago there was water damage to the house from a roof leak. The house has been maintained very...

Thanks in advance for any help. Trying to install Nero 6.0 Suite 3 on a Windows XP machine (bought from Surplus Computers). Downloaded the trial version from Nero site, and filled in the serial number. Installation fails with the message "error during installation of component...

Bump. Please folks, anybody? Have spent countless hours on this. It shows up as "Multimedia Controller" under device manager with yellow "!" mark before it. Drivers do not install and each bootup of system has to go through this "Found new hardware" wizard, until I disabled device in...
