Quick notes: Foreign rifles, Pashtun movement...

  • Pashtun movement: A new nonviolent mass movement has swept through Pakistan in recent months, demanding an end to Pakistan military’s oppression and extrajudicial killings of minority ethnic Pashtuns. This grassroots movement has rattled Pakistan’s deep state, primarily the notorious spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence.


  • Flipkart deal: Is it really good news for India? For India as a country, the falling of Flipkart into foreign hands is a serious setback to Modi’s ‘Make in India’ dreams. The entire e-commerce battle is now America versus America.


  • Indian trader, farmer groups decry Flipkart deal: Traders say they are most concerned about predatory pricing and steep discounting by e-commerce firms with deep pockets thanks to foreign funding that could edge out smaller rivals. “If you look at our history as a country, there was a history of colonialism. And there is always a fear that you start with trade and then it becomes control”.


  • Foreign rifles trump 'Make in India': Army closing indigenous high-tech project to save money for imported guns


  • Santana Dharma has always existed and will always exist:


  • Rape Jihad: Teenage girl who plotted British Museum grenade terror attack was "sexually groomed" and "groomed to be radicalised" online by IS fighter Naweed Hussain.
