Ahmed | 9 years ago | Reply @Bairooni Haath: Sorry to burst your bubble. There never ever were more Muslims in india. There are more Muslims in Pakistan than india. This is just a dialogue indians use to question the creation of Pakistan

Sneha | 9 years ago | Reply @timorlane then who was Yahya Khan? 3million lives including women and children lives were lost. So was the call of direct action day by your revered leader that led to 5000 hindus loose their lives. 1. The chief minister of gujarat never provoked, organised or lead any mob like you claim. The allegation on him was he did very little to stop the riot quickly as the CM. It was alleged he was biased. The question was did he purposely go slow on stopping the riots? The allegation didn't stand in court because CM did everything he could. He wrote letter to send police from neighbouring congress ruled states, they didn't send due to politics. He requested centre to send army. The centre left state should handle it. Only when it got out of control did centre intervene. And we all know how quickly South asian bureucracy works in any sudden event. It's interesting you forget why the ruots occured in first place. It was the hindu pilgrims train carrying woman and children set on fire by muslim that led to revenge riots. If indian muslim founded themselves unsafe they would have taken refuge in other South Asian countries, not a single one does. Instead we have loads of people's from other saarc country asking for indian citizenship. The minority population in india has grown and in yours reduced from 25% to 1.2%. Look within first.

Timorlane | 9 years ago | Reply To "Pakistani: Pakistani children along with their parents were burned alive to death by hindu terrorists in India. Furthermore thousands of Pakistanis have been killed by india's abetted and aided terrorism in Pakistan as disclosed and confirmed by UN, UK and Pakistan Army. Killing of Pakistanis can only be politics for totally self respect devoid Pakistanis. To Bairooni Hath: The hindu terrorists were "honorably" released by indian courts despite their open confessions. To Bairooni Hath: In Pakistan there has never been a chief minister like modi who'd provoke, organize and lead massacre of thousands of innocent, unarmed children, women and men belonging to minorities. Neither there has ever been a Pakistani Prime Minister who'd compare people of minorities as dog's puppy as modi compared indian Muslims. indians should be thankful to Pakistani press that they are given full freedom here to abuse us Pakistanis and our country while in indian news websites indians swoop on an occasional Pakistani like hungry beats devouring him with cussing and cursing against Pakistan and our religion. ET Kindly place my comment when you're placing multiple comments by single indians against my comment. Thanks n Regards.

Bairooni Haath | 9 years ago | Reply @ Timorlane, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was directed by a Muslim director with a Muslim superstar who played a Hindu religious man. Kabir Khan is married to a Hindu while Salman Khan's father is a Muslim and his mother is a Hindu. Harshaali, who played Shahida, a Muslim girl is a Hindu while Kareen Kapoor, the female lead is a Hindu married to a Muslim. The film itself has a positive message about religious harmony and secularism which Pakistan needs as much as India. Meanwhile, you should ponder what the condition of minorities in Pakistan. Aasia Bibi, a Christian, is on death row for touching a water vessel used by Muslims and the only politician who spoke for her was assassinated while his assassin is a hero.

Bairooni Haath | 9 years ago | Reply @Timorlane There are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan and not a single one has the slightest interest in being called a Pakistani. Pakistan's record with minorities is known to the world. You keep harping on unfortunate incidents that happened 13 years ago for which the guilty have been sentenced. As long as Pakistan is full of hatemongers like you, it will remain where it is!

Pakistani | 9 years ago | Reply @Timorlane: you don't have to play politics all the time. people like you and laal topi zaid hamid are insult to all of peaceful pakistanis like us. just enjoy the movie or rather shut up.

Timorlane | 9 years ago | Reply In real life there was no "Bajrangi Bhaijan" for the dozens of Pakistani children burned to death along with their parents in india by hindu terrorists organizations with full support from indian government
