Yeah, i second Kabir. Its the best. I have had only the Karachi version though, not the punjabi one.

it is. I have only had a vegetarian bootleg version in hyderbad. But I am sure real one tastes very good. Everyone says so.

What are you on about, bro?

What’s your issue with haleem? It’s delicious.

Halal, Haleem, Owaisi

The British are not atoning for anything. That is not how foreign policy works.

If they seem partial towards this country or that in their dealings it is just politics as usual, never mind historical wrongs.

“There’s also a latent British partiality towards Pakistan, maybe as a means of atoning for the partition”

But what are they atoning for though? They supported Partition and it happened.

I think its good that Hinduism is not a world religion. With greater presence comes greater responsibility , and scrutiny. Which i am not sure Hindus are ready for.

Fair points. I’ll try to bring Indian into this mix –

In my limited (but growing) understanding of these things, the western left is still probably acting from (in their mind) a position of fairness and maybe some mild patronisation towards muslim minorities in their midst. In their mind, the muslim immigrant in the west is to be seen independent of the baggage of ISIS/Pakistan/Taliban and as an equal citizen. Which one can argue is fair, but when confronted with events like Charlie Hebdo or the Sharia brigades in East London they would double down on their stand rather than investigate the root cause of these sort of incidents. This is aided by various forces such as vocal muslim minorities, gulf petro$$$ and the fact that muslims around the world have taken on the mantle of a global oppressed underclass, never mind how true or false that is.

Since it’s a democracy, India is inevitably held to higher standards than say theocratic Pakistan or Iran or authoritarian China. Hence the hindu right doesn’t get a free pass, unlike these forces. There’s also a latent British partiality towards Pakistan, maybe as a means of atoning for the partition. There’s no hindu civic activism to speak of in the west, since most hindus keep their heads down and get on with it, and as long as hinduism is tied to india and not recognised as a global religion, it will always be seen as synonymous with poverty, chaos and exoticism and not taken seriously. My two cents
