Goodbye, Allah Rakhi

yeah right

the hammod ur rehman commission report has exposed the MADAM for all she was

that and only that is her legacy

do u seriously think we should applaud THAT

again i appeal to all muslims to at least read the quran once and understand the commands of allah

islam is what allah has said and not what we want to beleive in

Thank u for a very well written article .. i met Madam Noor jahan at a wedding once... her pithy humour had us all in stitches ... there were no `holy cows` as far as she was concerned...but then, she was one of a kind and knew it!...:)

For those interested, one from the CHOWK archives
on the Noor Jahan-Lata Mangeshkar subject at:

Shirin Ahmed: mohajir posted the following links in post #10. They are one of the best articles about Noor Jahan-Lata comparison.

Offstage, Madam Noor Jahan was less than exemplarary to say the least. She was among the favorites of General Yahya Khan in 1971 when the latter was drinking and fornicating his country to partition and worse.

Thank you very much Masd for the link. Needless to say how much i have enjoyed it!

God bless this modern highway of communication , which makes so many precious things possible ! :)

I agree with you that it is foolish to question Noor Jahan`s credentials as a Pakistani. The motivation to do so is not difficult to understand. It is the same as the one that leads some people (you included?) to question India`s credentials as an ancient civilization!

Some people prefer to focus on only those facts that fit their narrow agenda.

Thank you Masd for the link , and God bless this modern highway of technology for making it possible ! :)

Noorjehan was born in Kasur, now part of Pakistan. The same Kasur, which produced a lot of lofty figures and celebrities.

I agree to disagree.

Inspite of not understanding Punjabi properly by me, some of her Punjabi songs are very good like Jio Dhola, Jaddon Hali Gai. (with apology if I misspell)

As as not to make them god.

Their humanity is depicted by infidelity:-) in show business. Otherwise we follow them like god.

Vineet #30

Her choice proved right.

I am still at odds to understand why people like Vineet are hellbent on questioning Nur Jehan`s credentials as a Pakistani. If the only reason she came to Pakistan, why didnt she move back and why did she later on become Pakistan`s most famous frontline singer.

Nur Jehan lived barely a mile and half away from my house, in that Liberty Roundabout in Lahore. Anybody who had met the late singer, knew how patriotic she was.

Now can we leave India-Pakistan conflict behind in this issue, and recognize that Music knows no boundries?
