That in reality not even a dozen people have been caught joining ISIS is not comforting but imaginary fears based on biases is being made a big issue. What is the solution.Come with that .All the time targeting a section of Indian citizens with imaginary fesrs is discriminating in nature. Now do not start all over again.

anil created new topic No water to drink but enough for IPL show.
In some part of Maharastra peoples are getting little water, once in for days to drink and for other purpose. But Mharashtra governement have enough water fro IPL show (Tamasha) I read that 20 match will played in Maharashtra. Each match required 3 lac litter water. Total 60 lacs litter water. I think it enough to satisfied thrust of some million peoples for some days. It is not humane.

That is true, however, regarding the money invested in foreign countries, it depends on where the money is earned. Say for example you earned that money through fair and legal means in UK, you also pay taxes there and after that you are free to invest the money where you want provided you have the documents to prove that. Many people living abroad buy houses and when they come back rent it out and the money earned if not brought back to India is not taxable , thats what I am told by the CA..
Earning is foreign countries and sending money to families is not illegal if channel which some one use to send is legal. I read today the company in which Amitabh invested is running by his younger brother Ajitabh. Some thing is in mess.
Now, its found more and more members are involved in panama Papers. The govt of Panama is investigating the members and they are recording the statements. The outcome of the investigation will be out soon.

May be you are right. Investigating team will find out

No doubt we are ignoring these hawks but it is not enough. Indeed Modi and BJP government is pinching in the eyes of some person like thron. Even some leaders of BJP is also pulling leg of Modi.

True. " Atithi Devo Bhava" is the belief in Indian families. But as you said, the guest should be allowed to eat whatever he likes. The host should keep all the food items before the guest in order to eat whatever the guest likes.
Here in my area it is not practice to serve food with hand by host to ghost. here when we received invitation time of lunch and dinner is printed on it. When we reached there host welcome us and ask only once for lunch or dinner.
What you said about printed invitations is true for functions like marriages and Birthday celebrations etc. Here too we invite the guests through printed invitations. I'm talking about some private functions we invite the guests orally.
Yes it is right that written invitation is only for marriage and other big function. I don't know about others but it is habit that at private function or when some guest come to me I never press them to eat as per my choice. I always prefer to serve them what they like. We must be remember that stomach is there but pocket is our. First we press them to eat which they don't like and then we also face there sulikness. What is need of it. Request once and then let them free to eat what they want.
That's the best idea. Let them eat whatever thy like.

Hoisting flag of ISIS or Pakistan is not new thing. Ex CM Uamr Abdullha accepted that hoisting Pakistan flag is very common in Kashmir. for government of J&K is also responsible.

No need for millions , a few thousands are more than enough to cause heavy damage to the country...

I have seen such groups, in fact my mother is a part of one such group and they visit at least once or twice a year some place of either tourist attraction and religious importance. Ever since my father is gone, she already had her own work, but now she really takes efforts to socialise and be with other women who share common interests. Has done her tonnes of good!
In fact, there are a couple of large, well-known travel companies who have been organising exclusive women's special tours where a lot of effort is taken to building the women's confidence. Women who never stepped out of the home ever, even wear evening gowns and walk the ramp during these tours.
Good that your mother is enjoying herself.. There are many travel groups to cater to all age groups, mixed groups etc etc. My sister who is a gynecologist has a group of gynecologists, all ladies who go together once in a while when they get long weekends . The last weekend they went to Bandipur, they came face to face with a tiger, thankfully they were on a tree top platform. But apparently the tiger sat there for 4 hours and they too sat on the platform wondering what to do next ? and their guides ware a little away and they too sat quietly without doing anything lol.. However they were all very thrilled later on after they reached their resort safely !

When members tie themselves up in knots trying wriggle out of a tricky situation they have created for themselves ,it is best to leave it alone..
Coming back to the topic, I am told by visitors that Pakistan is a much cleaner country and better organised than India. I have visited Karachi which was more or less like one of our busy cities but Islamabad is supposed to be a cleaner city and people don't use the public places as toilets like they do here in India.
