Re: # 17

right tahmed, i was just trying to figure out whether the Qu`ran supports hierarchies based on color (because we know in some ways, the concept of race is meaningless)...to my knowledge, it has not....

#19 saminasha: dont take hamidm at his word. He just likes to annoy people by talking about white bread being better than brown bread or black bread.

Re:hamidm#8

[............ the fact of the matter is that -as you have so eloquently stated before- white (milky, i think you call it) is beautiful and black is ... well, black is black .......]

So whats all that baloney that you guys throw at us about Islam being color blind and the Prophet treating all races equally?

When we brahmins protect our white skin via the caste system, you guys pile on us all the time....

Yeah, but I am a Sindhi brahmin. So you bet we have fair skin.

Anyway, I was just kidding around with hamidm....

I have a vested interest in this-you mention Unilever and a close family member is very high up in the company. While working in India,we would talk about Fair and Lovely-he was very proud of it-it only does so well because it works, he`d say. I don`t think the company is responsible for the light skinned obsession. Indians have always used natural products-sandalwood powder, almond oil, uptan, etc both to improve their skins and to lighten them. I don`t even think it is as much of an obsession as it was 20 or 30 years ago, btw.

Re: # 27
The last Ruler Dhair was slaughtered b y MO bin kassim and his queens and daughter were taken to Damascus and due to some misunderstanding about sexual affairs with royals women, ruler of Damascus slaughtered Mo Bin. Dahir was Brahmin king and name of Capital was Brahmanabad. Budhist supported MO Bin and after he took care of yellow robed hindus also.
There something called Bhaiband. Most Sindhis know more classify related to places from where they came from. There are efforts going to capture tourist potential of Rich hindis specially new generation if they want visit place called Sindh which had Sindhi language as LinguaFranca. Now Karachi and hyderbad both are Urdu speaking and Sindhis retreating from 1947 and it appears they are loosing one citadel after another. Most so called sindhis are poor ``red Indians`` of sindh. ( Even sukkar, even Bhuttos places are under demographical metamorphism. They are not match for dynamic MQM followers and Punjabis has more Interest in MQM than sindhis as now Sindhis have MQM Governer. Its cruel world and dosile people are left behind. Most of Sindhis who lived in Karachi were Hindus and most educated of Sindhis. Sindhis made mistake by cutting or decapatting intelluctual class by ousting and they got what desired and are suffer and will suffer for recklessness combined with simplton attitude. Its history Sindhis are nothing in Sindh where it counts- Karachi.

Re: # 29
Sindh has MQM governer medical doctor who was wanted for little things like, frightening people , killing etc but he became Kosher after MQM helped general and general rewarded. Punjabi and MQM is controlling ``govt`` and army has god sent part which controls Karach and hyderbad so Sindhi nationalist can not have such say in Largest city. If in future (which I doubt) if Jiye sindh starts trouble Karachi will be supporter of Army and Punjab interests. The demographic situation just like Russian Enlave of Kaliningrad which surrounded by baltic republic. It is possible in future new province for ``new Sindhis`` like strip joining Karachi and sindh and urdu speaking. No body knows these things only fate decides such thing and many times simple little things.

Re: # 28
NB this multinationalhas created that butteriing poison called ``Dalda`` . More people must have died by cosuming so called ``Vanspati``. Millions must have died eating that stuff and pouring hydrogeneted in their blood vains. Instead of G man ot J man multinational need to be forced atleast publish warning og stuff like of smoking products. But this good MNC and gives all other products of good Quality.
I have accounting question. Unilever heard is largest corp in this in Pakistan and India. Then wonder revenue of Indian Pakistani groups more than parent company in ``ton` of product sold ?
I neveer touched that poison or allowed to be used and had very hard time but as head of house one should not allow any body indulge in such bad food.
