Indian who knew Pluto 20 years before anybody else

quite possible this is accurate. white guys just *hate* giving credit to others.

there is the story, for instance, of marconi vs. bose. this is well documented -- bose invented the radio, and that information is avaiable from contemporary records including the royal society of britain. but bose was a reticent scientist, and marconi, a gregarious salesman (and not incidentally, a white guy) gets all the credit.

If true, this heralds a critical phase in the Blauchi conflict
India has got to make sure to keep the pressure up. Martyrdom brings it's own advantage with Islamists of all brands. If we arm them right - their anger at the killing of the chief can be directed well.

I beg to disagree. Did the issue of Balochistan come to boil in BJP regime? Did we ever hear about it that time? I bet congress knows this game better than BJP. I suspect congress rulers must have done something to fan the Balochistan uprising, possibly using the increased interaction in the peace process... (Did you notice some Indian diplomats were expelled last month?..)

Grow up BJP lovers, Congress will keep dividing people for its own good, if not for anything else. After all, a non-united Pakistan is a much better ground for conversion in terms of evangelical activities and the Congress is a party that supports conversion to christianity, is it not?

San, I am sure you have a better idea about the Baloch problem. Pl tell us of any known Indian involvement in the same.. I have a feeling it wouldn't even have occurred to BJP people that this was one way to prick Pakistan. Correct me if I am wrong. I really wish to know if BJP did anything by way of strategic and tactical moves to get at its/Indian enemies.
