The emotions are rising very high in both countries. A confrontation would be very unfortunate for the whole SE Asia region. Both India and Pak are nuclear capable. The US involvement should go beyond mere diplomacy to actively pursuing the path which benefits both nations facing threats from radical islamists.

No religion would encourage killing, otherwise it just would not spread. It's a few fundamentalists who have distorted the meaning of teachings and hijacked the religion. I heard about a Muslim mother whose son was suspected of terrorist activity telling her son that if he wants to know true meaning…

A "cult" keeps itself confined within a protective cocoon. SG on the other hand is mainly criticised for its active involvement in addressing various social issues. A "cult" is suppossed to be harmful for its members and community. SG on the contrary has contributed to the welfare of the people…

The above accusations are all completely baseless and have been thoroughly refuted and proved false many times earlier also. The values and activities of SG is based on respect of all life and the members of SG live in society as responsible citizens. Its just that the initiatives to help…

ANNOYING is a very subjective word. Even parents can be ANNOYING for constantly asking child to study harder, but it doesn't mean they are thinking bad about their children. It is just a matter of sharing one's belief based on personal experience of deriving joy from some activity. If there…

It's not about the show of strength but about what values are being spread in society. Even if there are a few thousands or just hundreds, but important is what contribution are they making to the communities we live in. The power of Mr. Ikeda that every one talks about…

It may not be the most significant influence in the ban on bombs but an influence at least, else why should he be conferred UN Peace Award and World Citizenship Award by NAPF unless these organizations are fake or lack any substance. There may be only a few hundred thousand…

Criticising becomes a problem when it is not based on actual facts or when it is misunderstood. Earlier Soka gakkai was looked down as an organisation of sick and poor. Through practice members have been able to bring about changes in their lives and now SG is taunted as organisation…

I read Komeito's mission statement "people-centered politics, a politics based on a humanitarianism that treats human life with the utmost respect and care". This coalition is in favour of Japanese people so as to promote people centric policies. If LDP were to rule by itself I dont know what kind…
