"All that Gandhi stuff is for tourists," adds his father, Raja K.S. Sidhu. "They should go off to Varanasi, see the holy cows."

Only 3 out of every 100 still equals the second largest private arsenal in the world.
There are a LOT of f*cking Indians.

No, I think this is the thread wherein people make stupid indian (subcontinet) vs. indian (american) puns/jokes. Possibly even to include indian (carribbean).

Westerners are such idiots. 1 of the 4 varna was made exclusively for guys who's dharmic duty was to farking kill people*. The British went to great lengths in the mid- to late 1800s to confiscate guns from the Indians because they had so many of the farkers that the British feared the Indians might try Sepoy Mutiny 2: Electric Vindaloo. And the Mutiny itself was an early version of going postal. "Indians have guns" is right up there with such surprising headlines as "Indians think cows are kinda okay"
* For all you dot/feather bow and arrow guys: Indians liked to use bows also - Arjuna was known for his archery skills

Not only are they overpaying, they've got really terrible taste if they're paying 50% more for a Tok than a 1911.

Well, India has a very dense population. If you're within arm's reach, a knife can be much more effective.

Which is also a bit on the weird side since Russia-India relations were pretty warm and the armed forces historically (and still today) were equipped with Russian and home-made knockoffs of Russian equipment.

Well, in Mandarin, I think it transliterates to "Japan and beyond".

Someone should propose a bill like that in this country.
Not because it would be a good idea, but just to watch the freepers go into apoplectic fits and have to be hospitalized.
