His father, K Chandrasekhar, a retired government employee and mother were too shocked to react.\n\nThe family received the news from the television channels barely an hour after they met Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy, who assured them that the government was making all efforts to seek his early and safe release.\n\nAfter some reassuring words by the chief minister came the shocking news.

It can't be true - the peace loving, compassionate, gentle, caring, kind hearted, honest, pious (hope that doesn't start another world wide riot) muslims actually hurting someone - no waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.  \n\nYou can't possibly have your facts correct.  \n\nIt MUST have been some haliburton guys working on behalf of Bush.\n\nI have worked with middle easterners for 8 years.  Their word us worthless.  This isn't what I have read.  This isn't what I have heard.  This is what I have lived.  \n\nIf they put their name on a contract, you can wipe your *ss with it because that's all the paper is worth.  They are the most abhorrent people on the planet.\n\nIf it wasn't for oil - name one thing they contribute to the worlds society beside sand?\n\nAnd please, don't tell me about the sh*t they did 2,000 years ago.

He was a moderate Sikh militant. He was a sikh nationalist, but a reasonable man, not an extremist. The sikhs has many extreme militants, they systematically eliminated moderates who were open to logic.  Indira Gandhi didnt get him killed. Its the extremists who killed him. I clearly remember those days, I was in dehradun that time.

QUESTION: Wasn’t it irresponsible for the Buddha to walk out on his wife and child?\n\nANSWER: It couldn’t have been an easy thing for the Buddha to leave his family. He must have worried and hesitated for a long time before finally leaving. But he had a choice, dedicating himself to his family or dedicating himself to the whole world. In the end, his great compassion made him give himself to the whole world. And the whole world still benefits from his sacrifice. This was not irresponsible. It was perhaps the most significant sacrifice ever made.\n\n-------------\n\ni also heard that it is her wife who ask Siddharta to give birth for her so she can remember him, she agree with Siddharta's search for truth.\nlater, i heard that his wife and his son and many family members also follows him.. (but you might want to validate it)

quota policy sucks. Arjun singh is man with one leg in graveyard.This ministers send their own sons to foreign universities and tamper with Indian education. What does Arjun Singh know about hardwork for getting into to IIM & IIT.If he is so much hell bent on implementing constitution then he must also know that reservation was suppose to be time bound when it was first introoduced, but today it has becom a political gimmick. Arjun Singh is not Human resource Development minister[HRD] but Human Resource Demolisher{hrd} minister.God save us from him.

Well i should ask you, about the killings that the the LTTE has done for the last few years of cease fire! and what about the bomb in the ancient city of anuradhapura which killed 70 school children? this war is not between Tamils and Sinhalese, but between the LTTE leader ( who threw a lavish b'day party in London for his daughter, when he is recruiting child soldiers in Sri Lanka) who wants to retain his power and the Sri Lankan Government, the truth about the photograph's should be dealt with carefully, and i wish to urge to those who read not to throw your self but to search for facts before!

Not mine I'm afraid, but a friend emailed and told me about this guy that bought an electronic stun-gun for his wife's personal safety. He didn't want to give it to her without being sure it would work when needed so decided to test it on himself.\n\nWhen he finally came to, it was because the spasms of his muscles had eventually jerked the device out of his hand, but he still felt groggy for quite a while\n\nThere was also the person who dropped their cellphone in the toilet. For the 2nd time. Still having trouble keeping a straight face about that one.

I  think He might have killed his own brother, however, The case has been in progress at court. Sooner or later, you'll know what was happend really\n\n  My personal thinking is, He might have killed. Moreover, The other relatives, includes Pramod Mahajan's wife also reported against  Praveen.  Their personal doctors said Praveen had some mental illness. \n\n  Government in Mumbai, Maharastra did well about all cases happening Pramod Mahajan's case. That's why Truth is reveal from on it.  See Rahul has caughted. If it had happen in Gujurat, he would have escaped.\n\n   Anyway, Good question you've asked. You asked personal opinion according to this. so I said mine. I don't care if anyone oppose to this.

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

I found your question interesting.\nWould you be able to provide more information?\nI'm not familiar with this issue so I did a google search to learn more.  \n\nI found a Tribune article titled:\nFarmers driven to suicide\nGovernment policies are to blame\nby Suraj Bhan Dahiya \n\n\nIt that states, "In the past few years over 20,000 farmers have killed themselves" as a result of the policies of the government. \n\n "Nearly half of Indian farmers are crippled by debt." \n\n"Humiliation resulting from harassment by moneylenders is the main reason for farmers’ suicides. They charge interest at exorbitant rates... " \n The link is below.

Wasn't her maternal grandmother trying to get custody and take her back to her native country?  I don't know the outcome - that's one thing that stinks about the media - it's all sensational to find the girl wandering the street, boyfriend murdered her, but they don't follow up and let us all know the rest - not sensational enough!

In March, 9-year-old Eman Walid, who sustained a shrapnel wound in the Hiditha massacre, told Time magazine that the Marines burst into the home where her terrified family--including her mother, grandfather, grandmother, two brothers, two aunts and two uncles--was huddled together in the living room in their nightclothes.\n\n“First, they went into my father’s room, where he was reading the Koran,” she said, “and we heard shots.” \n\nThen, according to Eman, the soldiers came back into the living room. “I couldn’t see their faces very well--only their guns sticking into the doorway,” she said. “I watched them shoot my grandfather, first in the chest and then in the head. Then they killed my granny.”\n\nThen, she said, the Marines fired into the corner of the room, where she and her younger brother were, as desperate adults tried to shield the children from the bullets. “We were lying there, bleeding, and it hurt so much,” she told Time.
