The presence of USA in Afghanistan is the main Cause of Anti education drive Sectarian violence and all dramas which were played (some were series and some are Serial) in tribal AreaRecommend
@raaz,
That’s absolutely right. There are more poor people in India. So, bombing schools must indeed produce some benefits for Pakistan. How come I didn’t think of that?
Recommend
@raaz Try to stay on topic. (and by the way, the road out of poverty is through the classroom. India gets that!)
Instead of describing these attackers as “anti-literacy”, perhaps they should just call them illiterate since it is clear they can’t be.

@raaz:
The usual Pakistani banter “India is poor”,”India has no toilets” for every issue
At this rate,you will include it in your national anthem to feel more patriotic
Besides,I never knew that discouraging children from getting educated was the best way to eradicate poverty
Maybe you should send this proposal to UN as they’re finding ways to curb the povertyRecommend
Police should shoot these criminals on sight. No hamdardi for these criminals.
