Communal person? WTF? You live in India - probably in a deep well - look up - here is a world outside it. There, people think beyond "Hindu" and "Muslim" identities, which you may not be able to understand from your narrow perspective. What are you? A member of SIMI?
Listen Mr "Secular" person - I am an atheist - Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, all are about the same to me - meaningless drivel from a bygone era, which mindless drones are made to believe in so that they can be controlled by the smart and the greedy leaders. So, I think I am MORE secular than most of you so called seculars in India.
I work with a Hindu, Christians, Jews, Muslims and a Buddhist. I have excellent personal relation with them and I have NO problem with any of their non-religious views. I just don't honor their religious superstitions (beliefs) - and I think it is a stronger "secularism" than you can ever imagine.
As for Pakistan getting F-16s from Iran - that was a slip on my part - which I corrected later - do read it up before you care to drool over your keyboard. CENTO and Pakistan and Iran being allies before 1979 - agreed.
And "conspiracy theories"? Iran Did buy nuclear weapon technologies from Pakistan. You may not believe it because of your "secular" beliefs - here's some more "news" for you ...

Now, your assertion about Iran's internal affairs - remember East Pakistan (Bangladesh)? Remember Sri Lanka? heck - Nepal a few years back when Maoists were on the rampage there? A little farther away, remember Maldives? South Africa during apartheid? I can go on and on about all the other countries where India has taken a stance over their "internal affairs". But you know what? Since Iran is an Islamic republic, "secular" India should never risk any confrontation with it - right? After all, if India confronts a Muslim nation, it will mean India is a "Hindu" nation - right? D*mbass ...
About the "26 years" of close rlationship - firstly, in politics there is nothing called a "close friend" - especially if that close friend tries to blackmail you. Iran is as much India's friend as it is Pakistan's friend. Iran leaving CENTO was true - but that did not make them a friend of India's. During the whole of Iran-Iraq war, India NEVER supported Iran. Pakistan on the other hand sold weapons and ammo to BOTH sides.
Now, before you open your so-called Secular mind and start drooling drivel on the forum, get out from the well you live in, see the world and try to learn more than the BS spouted by Indian media.
