   Is there any bloody Indian to comment what is being done by indian army(sena) in Kashmir and the  religious terrorist organization in india (Shev Sena) in Gujrat and other parts of India and their role in terrorist activities in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan. Saalay button aur gao maataa k pujaaree, Bharway kahein k thinking that their hand made status are God for them.........

When the arab traders came to the hindustan, they were intrigued by the number system. They took the symbols back. However, a key difference in the representation was that the arabic script is written in a different direction from the hindic text. So, while they copied the symbols, the arabic representation is at a 90 degree turn from the hindic originals. I tested this by asking a Palestinian bro' to write out numbers in arabic text and compared it with the indian version (different from the numbers on your key board). Is very true. You will notice the same in the numbers above. Pardon the meandering. I thought some of you might enjoy the little diversion.

so dhavak do you know the 786 quaran and om story.

I query with utmost sincerity. Any one agree that Pakistan has a decided “comparative advantage” in producing terrorists/jehadis/nutcases.

somewhat unrelated - but something i thought folks here would be interested in.
Please look at the bank note above and observe the arabic version of the number '20' on the top right below the 'C1263636'. Compare it to the larger '20' on the bottom right?
The similarity is not coincidental. I came across this in Georges Ifrah's 'History of numbers' (I quote name and title from memory... so might be off slightly).

6,500 Pakistani rupeesÂ… if youÂ’re married, 1,000 rupeesÂ… for bachelors

This is pure discrimination.

I wonder why theyÂ’re incentivizing men to get married even though theyÂ’re likely to die.

i can thankfully only admit of hearsay or reading of the familial practices among guerillas like these – uganda and sri lanka – and the practice of discouraging companionship of any sort… so on the surface it would seem contrary to the plan from the master terrorist… but then it just chills me to think these guys actually believe they are doing the right thing for their family… their spouses are proud of what they do and endorse their activities… their kids are brought up to regard their dads as heroes… comes back to the fundamental definition of a terrorist… in whose eyes?

Simple. The number one rule of any guerilla movement: Be fruitful and multiply so we will always have new soldiers. Remember, no sex before marriage.
