Durgesh, again, read the name of the site - it's desicritics, not india-critics, and unless you've slept through geography and history all through school, we're still desis, like Pakistan. and lay off the Kanye West colloquialisms, you ain't no gold-digger

Aaman, Dude, I agree with Naina. What the fuck have Indians got in common with this country which only exports terror to the entire world. You need to be alert otherwise this space would be hijacked by all these pakistani pimps like temporal and soofi.

Naina, I suggest you read the name of this site again, slowly, and consider what it means to be not an island, bereft of the bonds of history and humanity.

Come on, temporal. I did not really mean that Pakistan is an enemy nation. It is just one of those cliched labels that everyone gives when describing these two nations. I was merely playing on it.

Aaman, your concerns are valid. I'm planning to upload one Pakistani piece each day. I have already written one article which particularly answer your queries. There will be other posts too which would attempt to reason, directly or indirectly, that why it is wise to have a visa free India and Pakistan. Please be patient.

But seriously, Mayank, what are the arguments for lifting visa controls between the half-states that surround India, a three-fourth-nation? One can easily list hard facts that make a case for stronger border controls, such as an influx of unemployable/low-skilled migrants, the security threat, the dynamics of excess labour driving down wages for those already here, etc. What's the counter-argument?

"I had come to Lahore as a part of a delegation of Indians to demand, with the similar-thinking Pakistanis, for a visa-free South Asia." --Dude, visa-free India-Pak? Why dont we just hand over our country to Mushy dearest and his bunch of terrorists?
