Before refrigerators were invented, the west did not have a way to make ice. They used to "harvest" ice from frozen rivers and such during winter and store them. But India was making ice in its tropical heat for a long time much before Europeans by using certain laws of physics

E. V. Ramasamy wanted to amputate the Southern parts of India with the help of Jinnah. Even hyenas took a bow when EVR passed by

HYPOCRISY. NOT DIVERSITY. Appointing "non-Muslims" to WAQF Boards was "communal" and "divisive". Inviting a Muslim to inaugurate Dasara festivities or to appoint a Muslim to chair a Temple (Tarakeswar) Development Board is "secularism". WORK THAT ONE OUT!

29,000 have died in our one house since we began in 1952. We give them a special ticket of St. Peter. It's so beautiful to see people die with so much joy. - Mother Teresa Mother Teresa is the single-most successful emotional con-job of the 20th century. - Christopher Hitchens
