er Harish, you should settle this by showing us where manto abused you or your family members...when he "started it" as you claim. Otherwise you should just slug it out without trying to paw and claw at the moral high ground.
Instead of wasting time quoting irrevelant stuff about manto from other people, just show us the money quote.

Here is what people really think:

Post by shobig_sifar on Aug 24, 2007 1:31:33 am

give credit where it is due. I and Manto have had clashes of sorts and hardly ever had an agreement over anything, as is the case with him and Atif payee, but I can vouch he is not the sort of guy to imbue family members into his personal cyber-scuffles. Harish, on the other hand has been consistantly and appallingly abusing Aisha, despite his potential to have a clean and intellectual discourse.

You will keep hoping and praying and wishing that some how some anonymous nick will "expose" my "hypocrisy".

I don't have to pray. It is already happening. And the surprise is, your own compatriots are even more vitriolic than any Indian can ever be. Some of the threads exposing your utter hypocrisy left even me (who's quite familiar with your attention-seeking antics) shocked.

God save people who have the misfortune of being associated with a disgusting person like you.

And even god cannot save those unfortunate enough to be associated with a caricature such as you.

For god's sake, you are two educated professionals with liberal values. Why does it have to descend to such virulent personal hatred and vitriol, especially attacking mothers and sisters?

Yaar Ranjit, I fully agree with you, but please check the 50-odd posts and see who started the whole mother thing. Yasser mian is frustrated because his attempts to pin me down have boomeranged on him, and so he probably thinks baiting me by abusing my mother will rile me up sufficiently to respond even more vulgarly than him, which could then be used as a case against me. All it has proved is Yasser mian's dubious credentials. Please also visit UP and check how other Chowkies are exposing his shameless hypocrisy.

Ranjit,

This is a very good question and should be addressed exclusively to this fellow Harish mian who really isn't worth my time given his disgusting habits.

This disgusting fellow with "liberal values" abused the hell out of my family because he doesn't find my views palatable. He says I abused him first but beyond trying to show him that such abuse indicates a deep seated insecurity and possibly a broken home ... I have not responded in kind.

Now he keeps saying I abused him but you can view the evidence in 326 and 301-305. If he feels I abused him or Aisha did... he should produce evidence. But he has none... so he is acting the only way he knows how to...

I wonder if some people are so devoid of humanity as to completely abuse others for having points of view contrary to each other. You and I have had many disagreements... how many time have we started abusing each other's mothers and wives?

Harish and Manto,

Guys, I dont mean to interrupt your mutual lovefest but this is really juvenile and disgusting, especially on a public forum. For god's sake, you are two educated professionals with liberal values. Why does it have to descend to such virulent personal hatred and vitriol, especially attacking mothers and sisters? Why cant you treat each other with at least some decorum? If you cannot behave rationally, why not ignore each other? If educated people cant have a decent conversation, what hope is there in the subcontinent?

Untill and unless you can produce our "abuse" against you, you don't have a point.

Harish mian,

The burden of proving your assertion lies with you. I have already proved my assertion that you are an abusive person and you've admitted it. Now your assertion that you were provoked into doing it needs to be proved.

If you think this is an idiotic argument, you might want to consult "Indian Evidence Act" to see the procedure for yourself. According to you the entire Indian legal system is also idiotic.

Yasser mian, squealing like a pig won't help. If you really had any evidence to prove that it was I who started the abuse, you would have produced it by now. Instead, first you claimed that it was I who started it in #271, then argued that since I accepted having abused you and the female Yasser, it was upto me to prove that I was provoked into doing it. Now what kind of an idiotic argument is that? You accused me of starting the whole thing, it is upto you to prove it.

harish mian,

You are beginning to sound like the biggest idiot on here.

You've accepted that you are abusive. Your abuse has been listed. Now you say you merely "responded in kind". Fair enough, it is now for you to prove that you responded in kind.

Therefore show us examples of this... and the best way to do this ... is to produce specific evidence of abuse by myself or Aisha.

Apparently your countless ilogs with the flamboyant use of the word "bitch" and "whore" completely unprovoked is NOT evidence enough.

You do know who I used those words for, don't you? Looks like your frustration at having been caught with your pants at ankle-level has left you close to nervous breakdown. The references to red light areas means not just that it is your place of birth and residence, but could also be the place of the family trade, so why should you be upset at such words? In fact you should be pretty comfortable with them, shouldn't you?

Now it is up to you to prove that you were merely responding to provocation.

Not a single post of yours proves that it was I who started it all. All you've been CP'ing are my old ilogs with abuse, which I didn't even deny. But your claim that you were forced to abuse after I started it, still needs to be proved. Here's what you said in #273:

"You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha."

In the absence of such proof, I'm forced to conclude that in addition to the other questionable things you indulge in, you're also an inveterate liar and need some serious therapy.

Mian... the evidence I have produced is damning. See post 326 again. Now it is up to you to prove that you were merely responding to provocation. The burden of proof lies with you.

The very fact that you can't produce a single post from us with the kind of abuse that you have resorted to is itself damning evidence of your culpability.

As for "started the cycle of abuse"... the question would come up if I or Aisha had similarly abused you. We haven't and despite your tall claims, the only evidence we have is of your abuse.

You kept abusing us for expressing our point of view. Infact you declared that the reason you act the way you do is to shut us up.

The kind of unprovoked and unrestrained abuse that you are capable of, makes me wonder if you were brought up in the red light district.

And the kind of uncouth language that you have used on this very board makes me wonder if you were born and still live there.

We could have buried the hatchet.

Oh how very magnanimous!!! Thanks, but no thanks.

But you are so devoid of humanity and a sense of integrity that you have chosen to make this into another useless sparring match, despite having all the evidence in your face.

If the fact that 50 posts later, having to grope for evidence to prove your claim that I started the cycle of abuse represents a victory, then I'm happy to be the loser. Go ahead and celebrate it.

Harish mian,

Because I am honest man I admitted "indirect insinuations in response to your abuse" and here is another indirect insinuation. The kind of unprovoked and unrestrained abuse that you are capable of, makes me wonder if you were brought up in the red light district.


All you had to do was apologise for your abuse... and had you shown me where I had similarly abused you I would have apologised as well for such a slight- though good luck finding any. We could have buried the hatchet. But you are so devoid of humanity and a sense of integrity that you have chosen to make this into another useless sparring match, despite having all the evidence in your face. To me this represents the true of face of Gandhiism and its followers.

Rest assure nothing I can write can match the abuse you are capable of.

It turns out that not only are you butt ugly, blind and abusive, but God hasn't given you much of the grey matter either.

Hahahaha! Frustrated, are we? The fact that you slip down further and further on the abuse scale proves that your arguments are getting nowhere.

There is no question of that when only you have been resorting to such abuse.

Yasser, once again you leave me with no option but to catch you with your pants down in full public view. Here's what you wrote in #273 on this very board: "You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha." and it is an altogether different matter that you and the female Yasser abused me in your ilogs, but since you cleverly deleted them out, we'll leave it at that. But you still don't seem to have any evidence that it was I who started it off.

One things third rate lawyers should never do is throw out polls to social scientists as "proof". What kind of nonsense is this "approval rating"- approving of what? Of course they are going to approve just like the poll that Zia ul Haq conducted asking Pakistani's if they "wanted Islam"- what were they going to say?

Lets get something straight. My objection was to your hypocrisy in your post addressed to folio. You are the last person who ought to be giving moralistic lectures to anyone.

Otherwise your abuse doesn't bother us. I take it as evidence of your family background and dubious lineage.

"... ironic to see Harish mian, who has been hurling similar and worst abuses at Aisha Sarwari for expressing her point of view"

and then in #273:

"You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha."

Dear Harish mian,

If you were "retaliating", where is the evidence that something provoked you? Did Aisha or I ever call your mother or any other woman a "bitch" or a "whore" or a "slut" or anything of the sort?

The fact that you've not produced a single piece of "abuse" from us proves that you started it. Aisha's ilogs as well as posts and my ilogs and my posts are there to which you responded.

You know we did not start it. We did not even respond in kind. Yet instead of apologising for being abusive, you are going in circles, making adhominem accusations without any real basis.

Harish mian,

You are a joke. I've produced atleast 10 ilogs where you are showing us your family background and you've produced not even a single ilog/blog with any abuse from us.

All you could come up was some blog about misquoting Gandhi which I've shown is from an Indian book published by JNU Press. I stand by the quote because it is not some anonymous blog but an actual published piece of work by an Indian publisher.

So it is proved that you are one of the most abusive people on this website who can't take a counter argument without resorting to vilest abuse.

Now it was upto you to produce a single piece of evidence against us... ilog, post, blog etc and we've not deleted anything as God is our witness... you've failed miserably.

What I don't understand is why you are so insistent on lying. You know... God knows.. I know ... that what I am saying is true. Why not prove to me that you are a human being by admitting that you made a mistake and that you are sorry.

Please tell me where in this ilog are we abusing you?

Yaar Yasser, that was a blog, not ilog. Sorry for the confusion. But in that post, where did I claim that you were abusing me? All I'm saying is that you have abused facts (which BTW is nothing new), and whoever wrote that blog has duly recorded it. And after that, if you still feel others see you as honest (and bringing in God as witness, as if he's gonna come down and testify for you), you're only deluding yourself.

But really, you're flogging a dead horse. I don't know what it is that you are out to prove. If you're bent on proving that I abused you and the missus, I already said that I have and it was in retaliation to abuse from you. If there is anything left to be proved, it is that I started it. Sadly, you've miserably failed to do that after almost 50 inane posts. So until you come up with something concrete to prove that I started it, I will respond at my own sweet will and time. I'm not going to match you word for word in idiocy, because no one can match you when it comes to it.

Harish mian,

Please tell me where in this ilog are we abusing you?

The quote I got was from Dr. Ajeet Javed's book and was a different one but that is a different issue. 'I am a Hindu first and hence a true Indian' (Secular and Nationalist Jinnah by Ajeet Javed Singh Page 187, Jawaharlal Nehru University Press)

But how does it give you the right to abuse other people and their families?

As god is my witness, we didn't delete or change anything. You can go look at it. You got banned.

Here's the ilog I found about you and the female Yasser:

-------------------------

http://arunsmusings.blogspot.com/ 2006/01/on-quote-from-gandhi.html

On a quote from Gandhi

The Pakistani duo of Aisha Fayyazi Sarwari and Yasser Latif Hamdani are of the apparent opinion that sufficient repetition can turn anything into fact. An instance is the quote they attribute to Mahatma Gandhi:

'I am a Hindu first and hence a true Indian'

More accurately, the quote is

"There is undoubtedly a sense in which the statement is true when I say that I hold my religion dearer than my country and that, therefore, I am a Hindu first and nationalist after. I do not become on that score a less nationalist than the best of them. I simply thereby imply that the interests of my country are identical with those of my religion."

What is the nature of his religion and his nationalism?

I can neither serve God nor humanity if as an Indian I do not serve India, and as a Hindu I do not serve the Indian Mussalmans.

To understand the crusade against Mahatma Gandhi, one has to understand that he is a bulwark of modern Indian secular democracy. Those who would destroy it must diminish Gandhi. This is as true of the rabid Hindu rightwingers in India as it is of Pakistanis.
----------------------------

After this, do you expect anyone to take your word honestly? "God is my witness".....LOL!!!!!!

You are basically devoid of humanity. You abused Aisha because she dared to express her point of view. How dare she ... that woman. I've proved with evidence what kind of disgusting and filthy background you hail from.

An Indian poll recently conducted polls in Pakistan and India. One poll was about the founding fathers:

Jinnah's approval ratings in Pakistan 97% in India 43 %

Gandhi's approval ratings in Pakistan 29% in India 85%

So your wishes are not going to come true.

Your failure to argue with facts and to repeat the illogic of the Mullah freaks who called Jinnah kafir-e-Azam in the 1940s shows your desperation.

So keep repeating your lies. Pakistanis are done believing liars like you who are their biggest enemies. And I speak for the common man... not you.

Manto writes on another board "Is this guy Masadi for real?"

Yes, I am for real and I am the worst nightmare of a-holes of the West that want to perpetuate the same old MAJ BS in this country to take it further down even deeper into the gutter than it is in right now. What I do know for sure is that the fate of the Indian Muslim was a direct consequence of the majority collectively punishing a minority because of the greed of one man, the MAJ BS, a reaction to obtaining a non-viable country that was to become a whore of the West, thus causing debilitating suffering to the Muslims of this region both inside and outside India.

Today, I had to get some papers Xeroxed, so I went to a corner shop. This guy walks in and asks the shopkeeper, "When is Shab e Miraaj?" The shopkeeper says, "People of an enslaved nation do not partake in these things, I am worried about load shedding and you are asking me this question. People who are enslaved cannot have a religious identity." Then he turned to me and said, "kyun saab jee, theek baat hey?"

I said "bilkul theek" and I am happy that the people of this nation are finally waking up. Then they guy who asked the "Miraaj" question asked the shopkeeper, “Then why did Quaid e Azam make Pakistan", and the shop keeper says, "Quaid e Azam ney jhak maree thee". I laughed as I left the shop on whose wall was the "jhak man's" photograph and said, " Soon the people of this nation will rise up against the BS of both the Quaid and the Mullah variety, enough is enough, the time of our liberation is nigh, one that involves social justice for all". No lackeys of the West like the MAJ will be tolerated, new currency will be printed. Enough of the same old BS. The High Priest of the Church of MAJ and all its franchises and whore houses will be shut down. Then will the humanity in Pakistan rejoice......Inshallah

Gandhi was an influence on Bhagat Singh but Bhagat Singh became unhappy after he called off a campaign after Chauri Chora violence. Bhagat Singh and his compatriots became centre of attention of Indian youth of their time when Jatin Das died as a result of complications arising out of forced feeding to hunger strikers.

After Jallianwallah Bagh Massacre days of British in India were numbered. But after Gandhi if anyone could be credited with winning India freedom it was Bhagat Singh.

Serious historiography is difficult. It is difficult to fully account for "worth" of any one person or group when we try to assess contribution made by them to independence. But after Das's death and transportation of his body by rail many Indian youths were roused to take part in independence struggle.

Subhash Bose may have never tried to tap animocity of Japan and Germany if those external factors did not exist. But Bhagat Singh would have become revolutionary regardless of whether there was communist revolution or whether there was a Gandhi and whether Gandhi was pacifist or not.

You are being clever by half. That you hurled abuses is there by your own admission.

Here's what you wrote in #273: "You know full well that we've never abused you and any indirect insinuations I made to your family were after your hurled abuses at Aisha."

Yasser: You abused me and female Yasser.
Harish: I only responded in kind.
Yasser: Prove that we abused you first.

What kind of logic is that? Aray bhai, first you accuse that I abused you both, to which I say that I only responded in kind. Then you ask me to prove:

1. how I started it all?
2. how you are innocent?

Which one is it? It is rather strange that the one who accuses me of abusing him and his missus wants me to prove my innocence. Make up your mind and fast. I wouldn't want to engage in this discussion forever with someone who doesn't even know what he wants. If it weren't so pathetic, I'd die of laughter.

Dear Harish,

You are being clever by half. That you hurled abuses is there by your own admission. Had you not abused Aisha or myself, you would have said: "I have not abused you or Aisha".

Therefore your 271 amounts to admission and you know it is true. Your "in kind" statement doesn't make sense since Aisha has never abused you ever nor have I in the first instance.

So we know the following:

1. You have admitted to abusing Aisha and myself.

2. You have claimed that you abused us only in response to our abuse towards you.

3. You have not produced any evidence for 2.

Therefore you need to prove your accusation since my "accusation" stands proved by your own admission/confession.

Yaar Yasser, I said #271 that I responded in kind to what you said. If you feel you and the female Yasser haven't abused me in any way, then what does "in kind" mean? Let me make this simpler for your mediocre brain: if X praised Y and Y responded in kind, it only means that Y praised X as well. OTOH, if X abused Y and Y responded in kind, it means Y abused X in response.

So the fact that you're squealing like a pig with its head cut off is because you know that you both abused me and were being crybabies when I responded in kind. If OTOH, you feel you haven't done anything to deserve the abuse, you have nothing to worry about. But all the kicking and screaming points to only one thing: you got more than you bargained for.

My accusation that you have resorted to worst kind of abuse is proved by your words:

You and your missus deserve every bit of abuse I've hurled, because I've only responded in kind.

The claim that you've resorted to abuse was not DISPUTED by you. You came up with excuse that it was Aisha who started it. Therefore you need to prove your accusation since my "accusation" stands proved by your own admission/confession.

Now please see that the burden of proof lies with you. You may seek legal opinion from your finest "solicitor" friend on this.

Therefore the burden of proof is on you to show where Aisha abused you or your family to earn the abuse to which you responded in kind. Unless you produce this - my assertion remains unchallenged since the only admitted truth here is that you've resorted to abuse.

Abay Yasser, even an illiterate Abdul would tell you that since it is you who made the accusation, it is YOU who must prove it. Nowhere in the world is the accused asked to provide proof of his/her innocence. The onus of proving the accused's guilt solely lies on the accuser. Such shocking ignorance, coming as it does from someone "working for one of Pakistan's top law firms" is to say the least, astounding.

Dear Harish mian,

The problem with people like you is circular logic or lack thereof.

What am I supposed to prove? It is you who were supposed t prove that we abused you or your family.

The fact that you abused Aisha again and again on your ilogs and other places is NOT even disputed. You've admitted it and you were banned from this website for abusing people.

You wrote: You and your missus deserve every bit of abuse I've hurled, because I've only responded in kind.

Therefore the burden of proof is on you to show where Aisha abused you or your family to earn the abuse to which you responded in kind. Unless you produce this - my assertion remains unchallenged since the only admitted truth here is that you've resorted to abuse.

The truth is that you know as well as I do that neither Aisha nor I ever abused you and the only reason you resorted to showing us your family background was because you were frustrated - as usual - and had no counter-arguments to Aisha's ilogs about India (which did not mention you by the way).

Repetitively claiming that you abused us only because we abused you first without providing evidence for it is a rather shameless way of arguing.

And instead of going on and on squealing like a pig, why don't you just prove that it was I who started the abuse? The fact that 10 posts later, you have absolutely nothing to prove your claim is rather revealing in itself, isn't it?

Apparently, your mother didn't see it fit to teach you basic honesty. Or is that a trait totally missing from your family?

Dumbassandhu,

The only person on a high horse here is Harish mian. No amount of abuse on his part can stop Aisha or myself from expressing our point of view.. all it does is prove a point about Harish mian's family background.

My issue was with Harish mian's self righteousness, hypocrisy and double standards. It was he was sermonizing Folio (and someone ought to have but not Harish mian who is as bad if not worse than Folio).

If we were to take that (dumb) as a standard of abuse, poor Harish mian would be banned from this website. However... my comment was with regard to specific abuses, in front of which even Folio's abuses against Hamidm are merely child's play.

And while you and I call each other names all the time, all Aisha was doing was posting news items about India... the same way arjun-m does. But because Arjun-m is a man, he cannot be targetted for his gender.. but Harish mian chose to target Aisha, presumably because his mother failed to instill any respect for women in him.

Hey,

But how are you going to get past the idolator beheader and intercessor who would ensure that you do not get the ticket to Allah's rave party.

While what folio did was abhorrent... ironic to see Harish mian, who has been hurling similar and worst abuses at Aisha Sarwari for expressing her point of view.

Something ought to be said about double standards.

It's possible the middle classes brought a democratic mindset in Europe, but in India, at best they provided democratic leadership, refining, defining collective visions and aspirations (not a mean factor by any stretch; but they worked on existing material, did not furnish the material itself).

One may even argue, on a hunch, that in the economically/socially harsh conditions that India faced, middle classes would choose undemocratic/particularistic solutions. I have seen that happen, personally. Anecdotal evidence, but there may be something to it.

harish, folio

Good job, guy :)

We horrible Hindoos enjoy hamdim's presence, even learn from him. On judgement day, we will plead on his behalf, that he be permitted to enter the good places, along with us. :)

Re: Aslam and others

Those who are suggesting that the "Middle class" is somehow responsible for setting up the foundation of democracy in India are talking BS, without popular support the Middle Class is always coopted since they are employed by the vested interests who contour not only their personalities but vest them into maintaining the status quo, not to mention that the Middle Class wasn't of much significance in independence era India as a bullwark against colonization...

Yaar if there is anyone you need to apologize to, it is hamidm2 mian. You don't hit back in the same coin until someone has provoked you by insulting/abusing you or your family members personally. That's all I'm saying.

Sorry Harish, That's all based on his previous accounts of his family history, which he bragged abt as a matter of pride. I just added zing to it to make it even for his piece on Gandhi.

Btw, Do I have an option to delete a post?

If so, Chowk Staff pl do DELETE the post 'Everybody Likes Hamid2'.

Yaar Folio, that was in bad taste and without provocation. Hamidm is irreverent of everything emanating from South Asia, but that does not mean you get personal with him.

IB #254 One can always point to something that someone didnt do, or some fault in someone. That does not change the fact that the Chief Justice has stood up for the basic rights and freedoms of the people of Pakistan that Musharraf and his agents were only too happy to try to take away from them.

And the vast majority of the people of Pakistan understand that. Even if you chose not to.

GT: You seriously underestimate Abdul. He is as smart as you or me or anyone else. As proof of this: I remember reading a column in the Washington Post where the columnist predicted that the Chief Justice would not find much popular support given that issues like habeas corpus and the right to vote were beyong the understanding of the average person in a poor country. Events proved that columnist wrong.
Conversely, Musharraf's lie that he could not act against maulvis of lal masjid when they were intimidating shopkeepers and others in Islamabad was proved when in fact people heaved a sigh of relief when he finally cracked down on the maulvis. Two days after lal masjid, there was a large public gathering - as part of the democracy movement, with lal masjid remembered only by maulvis.

Same in India - BJP made a big deal about "India Shining" and BJP leaders like Advani tried to play on hindu nationalism. And ended up losing elections, because the indian abduls too saw through this crap.

So, have more respect for the poor people of South Asia. And just be glad that you and I are more fortunate than them - but God gave them a brain like he gave you and me as well. Never forget that.

Tahmed sahib:

You ask:

"So, why not call a spade a spade in politics, and call good governance as "good governance" rather than as "ram raj" or "islamic state"?"

I would gladly follow your prescription. But there is a slight problem. Suppose I am fighting an election and I am telling abdul that I will implement "good governance". He asks me "what is good governance". I tell him "well it means secularism, balanced budget, free trade etc. etc.". He is not very convinced. Instead I say "good governance induces ram rajya". Now you got the sucker and his vote (or even his laathi) :)

Point is you simply cannot leave religion out in South Asia today. Maybe, in some distant future.

I do not understand why these guys are struck up in Gandhi and Jinnah.

Too much of obsession with political leaders and "Prophets" makes a dis passionate evaluation of their contributions at a hind sight difficult. That makes us susceptible to making the same mistakes in the history agan and again.

Pakistan needs to kick out all the references ot "Islam" or the so called "Islamic principles" from its constitution if it is to turn into a modern democracy - otherwise they would keep on repeating the nonsense that has been carrying on since the last 60 years.

At a hind sight Jinnah's ghost also needs to be exorcized from Pakistani minds because he also strenghtens the notion of Islam as a foundation of that nation.

On UP, Saleeeeeeem has made an observation: Gandhi and Osama belong to the same spectrum but stand at opposite ends.

There is something about this statement which rings true, but I do not know what. Anyone cares to explain?

Saleeeeeeeeeem?

Re: # 250 tahmed bhai,
don't you think CJ is biased? there's a case by Air Marshal (r) Asghar Khan - which provides evidence that ISI distributed money to Nawaz Shairf,Javed Hashmi,Qazi Hussain Ahmed, Fazul-ur-Rehman and lot of other politicians. Why is CJ not going against them? Don't you think CJ's involvement in missing cases is hurting National Security?
Why are we such a emotional country? CJ is fooling everyone!
