1971: A Forgotten Story

RSaxena #158
Um thanks for the tips, brings back memories of journeys back in desh :).

Though re NY wish I could figure whats the fun in being forced to squeeze past the eternally double-parked and dodge the crazies which arenot, simply to get from point A to a nearby point B on legitimate business? Or measure ones worth in the world with the street number on ones address or have to seek meaning in the saga of so many people piled upon each other anyhow on a small island(or two), all wearing black ...?

Oops, NOW I am condemned to eternal hell :)

ali1 #146 ``Thanks for your vigilance and protecting decent chowk.com readers from vulgar postings written by hate filled individuals..``

Ha! Ha! It is too bad that you have had to put up with such vulgarities on the internet.

I am not sure why I should respond to you. One, I detest you. Two, I care deeply for someone who does not support homosexuality. Three, you are likely to use any information I provide against Pakistan, justified or not.

Still, since you claim to be a sociologist, and sociologists are supposed to possess a ``sociological imagination,`` it will require no intelligence on your part to see that the whole issue of homosexuality is tied up with other issues of deviance, control, and therefore, modes of control such as religion. I hope you will read the following to understand that when it comes to sex, Pakistan is just like any other society, normal or abnormal.

Info:

To begin, you may want to read the book ``Islamic Homosexualities: Culture, History and Literature,`` published by the NYU Press. The book is written by Stephen Murray and Will Roscoe, and situates the problem in the context of a religious identity.

More specific to Pakistan, look into research on the subject of Pakistani homosexuality, conducted by some Pakistanis (can`t recall their names right now) at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Their conclusion, if I remember right, was that excessive focus on segregating males and females was a primary cause leading men to turn into homosexuals. IMO, that is only a partial explanation.

For the legal, formal status of homosexuals and homosexuality in Pakistan, go to -

http://www.ilga.org/Information/legal_survey/asia_pacific/pakistan.htm# *Laws

The World Health Organization has also been concerned about the spread of HIV/AIDS in Pakistan, as in India, accelerated by these societies` refusal/inability to confront the issue of homosexuality openly. Visit their website at

http://www.who.int

and you will get a ton of information on Pakistan, homosexuality and AIDS.

DRUMZ,

I wouldn`t know much about them. My guess is one of those two good ladies is bad, while the other is worse.

re: sadna

{{Hey, are you saying things would be dull here without Indians around ?}}

of course...what makes chowk entertaining?...romair`s broken-record rantings about PAF and Kashmir?...hobbyty`s sermons for all to join islam?...without indians around to shoot down these messages, there would be nothing going on...they`d all agree with each other...hamidm would go mad without horrible indians, particularly hindoos, around...don`t you think?....

{{Wait-a-minute, tons? Perhaps you ought to share your secret with us chowkwallahs, there are many needy souls here.. :)}}

...if you`re in new york, there`s no shortage of interesting and intelligent people...even some of the bums on the street are pretty smart if you`re willing to overlook their current predicament and talk to them...why, just last week a woman got on the subway and informed us that `JESUS HAS TAKEN OVER THIS TRAIN - BLESS THE LORD` and then told ALL us riders that we were sinners and were going to pay on Judgement Day for not joining her in her song-n-dance on the train...hehe...

harimau #32 So, the hindutva apologist for the hindu mobs in Gujrat that bound entire families and burnt them, the man I just finished showing to be a proven liar considers me to be an anal retentive. Big deal.

Hey, are you saying things would be dull here without Indians around ? Hard to believe. Well, maybe these strange things happen its because this is a parallel mayavi universe in which the laws of karma are still a bit fluid and God is in training :).

`` there are tons more like them in real life...don`t need the Internet to meet them...``
Yes I agree, though one does get addicted to hearing the same old same old . Wait-a-minute, tons? Perhaps you ought to share your secret with us chowkwallahs, there are many needy souls here.. :)

re: sadna on Chowk Staff

{{This last nautanki reminds me(thankfully) that this is a Pakistani site and if your precious Musharraf keeps his word about jihadis I will no longer feel the need to post here.}}

...and never forget that...this is a pakistani site for pakistanis, but for the sake of keeping it interesting, indians are allowed on it...after all, how much fun could hamidm possibly have with mullahs romair and ylh patting each others back all day with nary a challenge?...

...that`s why Chowk should never be taken seriously...when you feel like some trashy fun and taunting, there will always be trash like ali1 on chowk to come play with...yes, there are a few intelligent people too, but there are tons more like them in real life...don`t need the Internet to meet them...
