India: A billion aspirations » Blog Archive » Will India’s Kashmir talks offer break fresh ground? | Blogs |

  • New Delhi said this week it will adopt “quiet diplomacy” with every section of political opinion to find a solution to the problems in India-ruled Kashmir about four years after it opened a dialogue with separatist groups there.


    The response to the announcement is on expected lines — the moderates welcoming it and pro-Pakistan hardliners reminding any effort at peace without involving Islamabad would be futile.

  • Violence is at a low in Kashmir, elections there were largely successful and last year’s angry public protests against Indian rule have now subsided.


    On the other hand, the security situation is at its worst in Pakistan and the war in Afghanistan appears to be in a decisive phase

Afghan Taliban spokesman: We will win the war - CNN.com

  • The man in front of me is Zabiullah Mujahid -- one of two spokesmen for the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.

    He is around 30, maybe a little younger, bearded, but not heavily so. He is slight but not weak and close to my height -- a little over six foot -- and meeting him is a big deal.

SNAFU-ed .... Situation Normal: Sarah Palin's Sister-in-Law Arrested

  • Crime sort of runs in the family with the Palins. You'll remember that Levi
    Johnston's mother was arrested
    on drug charges. Well, now Todd Palin's sister has been arrested on charges of
    burglary
  • According to the Anchorage Daily News, police reported that Diana Palin, 35, entered
    a home and attempted to steal cash from the owner’s bedroom. This was in fact, a
    case of a perp returning to the scene of a crime, as she also broke into the
    same house on Tuesday and stole $400, according to the police.

    Diana
    Palin was arrested Thursday morning on felony charges of first-degree burglary
    and misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and theft. She remained jailed on
    Friday morning with bail set at $10,000.

    Surely Todd and Sarah have
    $10,000 for his sister-in-law?

How Obama tapped into a powerful—and only recently studied—human emotion called "elevation." - By Emily Yoffe - Slate Magazine

  • The researchers say elevation is part of a family of self-transcending emotions. Some others are awe, that sense of the vastness of the universe and smallness of self that is often invoked by nature; another is admiration, that goose-bump-making thrill that comes from seeing exceptional skill in action. Keltner says we most powerfully experience these in groups
  • acknowledges that in "calling the group to greatness," elevation can be used for murderous ends. He says: "Anything that takes us out of ourselves and makes us feel we are listening to something larger is part of morality. It's about pressing the buttons that turn off 'I' and turn on 'we.' "

Thanksgiving Has Hindu Roots?

  • Thanksgiving Has Hindu Roots?


    Friday November 21, 2008

    A yoga master made a startling statement: that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life. Lincoln delivered a proclamation establishing Thanksgiving as an American holiday in 1863. Research sheds light on a possible Hindu origin for the American celebration of Thanksgiving.

    "The holiday of Thanksgiving has a Hindu origin," says Richard Salva,
    author of a book on the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln entitled 'Soul Journey: From Lincoln to Lindbergh' which is based on a statement by the great master
    of yoga, Paramhamsa Yogananda, who declared that Abraham Lincoln had been a
    Himalayan yogi in a past life. "During my search for signs of a past-life yoga practice," Salva
    said, "I noticed that President Lincoln repeatedly chose Thursdays - the holiest day in the week for Hindus - as national
    days of prayer, fasting, and thanksgiving.
