D.Hussain | 9 years ago | Reply Jinnah founded Pakistan as a secular state so lets not hand it over to the fanatics and nationalists of whatever creed, colour or religion. Intolerance is the seed that begets violence and violence is the tree that gives shelter to intolerance.

Mouli | 9 years ago | Reply @Raisani: You can boast of equal opportunity only the day a minority is elected or appointed for a topmost position of your country. India has Dr.APJ to showcase equal opportunity and Pakistan has a school boy to showcase equal opportunity. That is the difference.

Cosmo | 9 years ago | Reply @Pakistani Dude: Seriousely? U have reduced hindu population from 25% in 1947 to less than 0.5% today and yet u have the guts to clam what i have claimed.

Mrs HighBall | 9 years ago | Reply @Fisherman: Ah, but how many Nobel Prize winners has it got ? Zilch ! Keep on fishin'....

faisal | 9 years ago | Reply The white part of our flag reminds us that Pakistan is not for the greens only. Happy to see the whites flourish.

Sal | 9 years ago | Reply You Indian and Pakistanis need to come out of these useless and time wasting senseless religious debates and identities. Be humans and work together. The British set you all up before they left and here you are still arguing over nothing.

Muhammad Sario | 9 years ago | Reply Congratulations Boy. You proved abroad that Pakistan is filled with talent but the need is to identify that talent and bring before the world. Soon, world will be aware that how much Pakistan has got talent and one day they will debate with the students of Harvard and Oxford. Best of Luck for your future ahead.

Raisani | 9 years ago | Reply @Harshvardhan: Yes we know our PAKISTANI hindus are very clever n smart. U don't have to tell us. We love our minorities in Pakistan, they have equal opportunitie unlike so-called secular countries. He's a proud Pakistani kid, son of Pakistan. So proud of You Rajinish, keep the green flag high. Pakistan Zindabad!

Fisherman | 9 years ago | Reply In international math olympiad, Bangladesh ranks 33 put of all countries where Pakistan ranks 85. In Chess BD has more than 10 Grand Masters where Pakistan has none. So, do not jump over the moon you kids.

Aviator | 9 years ago | Reply Great job!

Karachiite | 9 years ago | Reply hahaha so many indian sobs commenting here just to spur up anti-hindu comments but it wont work. congrats to you Rajinish. you made yourself, your parents and all of Pakistan proud!

wb | 9 years ago | Reply @ASQ: " Arfa Kareem, Ayan Qureshi, shafay soban" Really? And who are they? Never heard of them? Does that also mean you're not proud of Hindu Pakistani? Hmmm...proves my point.

ASQ | 9 years ago | Reply @ wb rather than hitting Pakistan you should better appreciate the kid's intelligence as Pakistan already is mashaALLAH very proud because of Muslim genius kids like Arfa Kareem, Ayan Qureshi, Shafay Sobani etc

ASQ | 9 years ago | Reply @ wb rather than hitting Pakistan you should better appreciate the kid's intelligence as Pakistan already is mashaALLAH very proud because of Muslim genius kids like Arfa Kareem, Ayan Qureshi, shafay sobani etc

wb | 9 years ago | Reply @Mouli: "He is a Pakistani first and then a Hindu. " That's not true. Pakistan's identity is Islam. So, he has to be a Hindu first and a Pakistani second. Still, he will be more loyal to Pakistan than Muslims will be loyal to Pakistan.

Muhammad Mashood Tariq | 9 years ago | Reply Well done boi you are a hero thumbs up to you !!! please give me some mathematics class some time ;)

Nil | 9 years ago | Reply Anyway after longest period Pakistan has got chance to cheer up that too because of Hindu scholar.

Mouli | 9 years ago | Reply @Harshvardhan: He is a Pakistani first and then a Hindu. Will we allow someone to boast of Muslim superiority because Dr. Abdul Kalam was the most reverred President of our country ?

Kamal | 9 years ago | Reply I read a news earlier that non muslim girl was not allowed to go to school bathroom in Faisalabad and it infuriated me and after reading above - it gave me some relief and hope in our nation. Well done my little country boy. Bigots who have thinking of division in community should be the one to be expelled and taken to task. There should be outright rejection for such characters in our society and culture. I reject all such people and welcome diversity in culture and society. #EmbraceDiversity. Above is great news and a happy one too. Hope he gets good follow through throughout his academic years up to future career too.

Pakistani Dude | 9 years ago | Reply @Harshvardhan: And your fellow Indians say that Hindus are not given opportunities to flourish in Pakistan. Hope this news has cleared cobwebs out of your mind. Well done Rajineesh!

wb | 9 years ago | Reply If Pakistan has to ever progress, it will only be because of Hindus and Christians. Empower them, Pakistan. They'll be loyal to you.

goggi (Lahore) | 9 years ago | Reply Rajinish Aneel you are not only super intelligent but also super cute! Heartily congratulations to you, your Mathematics teacher and your loving parents! Heartily congratulations also to Abdul Wasay Kandhir, Abdul Wasay Memon, Harun Yilmaz! You all are like the shining stars in the heavens!!!

Harshvardhan | 9 years ago | Reply He is hindu and we know hindus are smartest no wonder we have highest overseas hiring at NASA
