Then I got a divorce and was ordered to pay 110% of my take home pay or go to the Workhouse for Life at Hard Labour as soon as I was 6 months behind, so I accepted a job in a city I call Newer Delhi, since 80% of the population are helots from the sub-Continent. And every day I'm here, I know less and less about the sub-Continent. I was taught that the Hindu was easily conquered, because their religion is strictly pacifist, and they cannot fight invaders. After I got here, the daily news reports of Hindus attacking mosques and killing Muslims, something I was taught they can never do. If one goes to a church, one reads of Hindus attacking churches (that's not in the Muslim newspapers here, of course, they only report attacks on mosques). Then there's the Long Tail. Given more than 100 crore on the sub-Continent, one can find almost anything. Some whose English is better than mine. Some that only speak the language of their home state. Some polyglots. Some Muslim vegetarians, some Hindu Beef Eaters. And the Western histories, like the Western geographies, rely heavily on the fact that their readers will never have any contact with the sub-Continent (most people form the sub-Continent who live in the West tend to stick very much to their own communities), so one can write anything and know one's readers will believe it is strictly accurate.<br /><br />MichaelWmeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-65290260215337138302019-02-19T05:04:04.415+05:302019-02-19T05:04:04.415+05:30Bill, er, um, uh, or should I say I say Jihadi Col...Bill, er, um, uh, or should I say I say Jihadi Colin? (See, I did read that article at Anti-War first) Thank you for this history lesson. What a huge and very sick joke saying the partition in 1947 (the same year I was born. Oh crap does that make me responsible for the crap fest it turned out to be? Sorry to all, I was born in late December of the year and meant no harm to any living critters.) was a British run deal. Well, maybe it was. Seriously Bill, hear me out on this. Shitill (Churchill the war criminal) did the planning for the bloody cluster fuck that was Gallipoli. Considering what little I did read of the disaster that was and basically still lingers even now, it may have gone almost as good as the royals in olde England had wanted it to go. I actually think they wanted more deaths, more blood, more long lasting distrust, etc..<br />Yes, once again, us folks who have pinkish skin tone, not nice tans like brown or black get to decide we know all and those who have nicer tans don't know much of anything. And people give me odd looks whenever I have forms to fill out that ask my 'race' and I always mark "other" and write either human or motor. Hey, what can I tell ya Bill, if it has an internal combustion engine and 2 or 4 wheels and its being raced, I want to see it and photographic/them racing.<br />Again, thanks very much for the history lesson my friend.<br />Kronkats Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356981317059108859noreply@blogger.com
