Since the very raison d’etre of the Taliban is to institute a theocratic government for Pakistan, and the raison d’etre of the Maoists is to institute a communist government for India, this might be something worth mentioning as well – particularly when the vision for daily life for men and women is so radically different between the two. Imagine if I were to compare the contents of two plates, one containing rice and the other containing nuclear waste, in such a manner: both are composed of atoms, both can be swallowed, both are heavier than air, both will require their respective plates to be cleaned after eating, etc., etc., ad nauseam.
