Re: # 6

Gandhi would obviously not have such carnal desires to one-up on women because he keeps perversion in the family, the nieces absorb his desires so then he can appear in parking lots as a clean guy who supports women`s suffrage movement.

Gandhi:

This is why I am not in favor of giving Muslims equal rights. They tease me and I find it very uncomfortable despite the salt enemas administered in me every morning by the ashram staff.

A few moments ago, I was walking up the stairs from Mountbatten`s living room, late for a personal high-level meeting with my nieces, shoving my stick ahead of my ancient knees, while two Muslims who appeared to have camaraderie with each other were coming down. As they possessed me, the uglier guy with glasses greeted me with Assalamualaikum, App keysey hain Bapu!``

I was used to the cow eating, the talk of equality, the humming of Allama Iqbal songs or even a religious proclamation of how great God is, this sort of thing, however had me stop and take notice. I asked for a clarification from the Muslaman, and he went on to make generally trivial chit-chat about how my friend Nehru was upstairs doing it with Edwina.

Understanding full well that Muslamans thrive on Hindu passivity, I learned to give in to my indignity and forgo the fight of telling random Muslims off. Sometimes even when I want to fight back, their timing is too perfect and their precision that of a seasoned actor on Broadaway. Before I can feel the stab of inferiority and their power to communicate a stark message, they are gone, under the folds of a society that is so sickly corrupted by all this talk of separate electorates. Everyday it is a battle, but I trivialize the over-muslimization of a grossly mixed society whose religion doesn`t believe in a Hindu dominance over Muslims. It’s nothing, I say, not worth it. But the truth is its very bloody and it wounds me each time and it leaves its mark every time it happens.

So this time, I fought back. I called for two British guards who were guarding Mountbatten`s palace. New at their job, they refused to budge because they didn’t have “orders” to move from the spot that both of them were designated on to stand. I couldn’t believe it. This was no time for colonialism. Exasperated from all the hunger strikes, but still somewhat in control, I let the Muslim flee. I walked up to the guards and told them if they slapped me I would turn the other cheek. I could hear myself becoming a whiny powerless nagging old man and I realized then that this was my true calling.

By then enough Hindu men, old men, young men, men with Bhramin values, men who believe our religious values need protection had gathered to catch the “honor-less” folk. They asked me to identify the Muslim. I found myself increasingly being part of a large Mahabharat drama – I loved this too.

Shame on Pakistani Men.
What a terrible thing to do to a woman like yourself. If this would have happened in Punjab there would have been upheavel.
Why do you have to bring jinnah into this?

i salute you aisha! sometimes registering our protest has to be enough because there really isn`t much else we can do about it.

Aisha, sorry about your ordeal! Being treated lousy because of one’s physical appearance or physical characteristics is a terrible thing and unfortunately happens too often all over the world, including in the subcontinent. In that respect, I see not much difference on either side of the border. Life is not idyllic – one takes small steps at a time and tries to continue to make a difference over the long run! A people do not change their nature overnight. But it is important not to compromise on the method – therefore, it may have been counterproductive to use the tools of mob-hysteria (which is at the root of many problems) even though it was for a goal that appeared highly important at the time because of the personal nature of the affront. But oh well, life goes on! :)

PS: I hope you go buy a new purse! :)

I let the guys flea,
So due to cleaver James Bond action the men caught one of the guys
your husband and so via the men associated with you,
cleaning and the menial tasks the surround child rearing,


...it also means that if you know the owners of chowk, they will publish such trash under the garb of sociological context...;)
