    Doha Debates

    A great site that I visit monthly to watch many great debates is Dohadebates.com

    They usually invite educated people across the world to debate on modern topics. I felt like sharing it with the community. I recommend it to all.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

            47 min and 19 seconds... lol I know. I just felt like because the subject opened up so many smaller discussions, and it is a broad subject to begin with ... more time could have led to further clarification.

                      The system discriminates against teachers. That's why.

                        I don't have a question, just wanted to see where the discussion would go if there was more time.
