Miscued Doldrums; The Saga Revisited, The Feud Recreated

Septran,

I saw an interview with Najam Sethi and he mentioned that he used to import text books for school choldren from india, it was banned. Now the books apparently costs ten times more.

This is the correct pak action. The schools are built to account for WB funding, no teachers appointed, school becomes cattle sheds. For the few schools make the books expensive so that children cannot learn.

Now ask why the children are going to madrassas, because the govt schools are no good.
Time to accept that pak society is going in a direction, set by TNT, an islamic republic, uniquely pakistani, jihadic islam.

I have no problems with cultural figures. Of course you are free to boycott cultural and sports figures associated with the Pakistani religious fringe.

Have you noticed this flawed logic in all Ind - Pak or Hind-Muslim arguments ???

First few punches are thrown by Pak.........but Ind is not supposed to react in the same manner. If it does(say throw one punch to the opponents 10), then some so called intellectual Pakis will point out to another Indian (Gandhi) and suggest we follow that path.(Ofcourse they will soon be joined by eunuch brigade from this side of the border who value a Paki dog`s - literally - life more than that of an Indian soldier`s).

End result ? Dispute/Fight continues.......India loses more men, takes more punches and Pakistan walks away to fight another day. This sickening story repeats.......somebody`s gotta learn and soon.

it is indian who banned cricket .we read indian books,see indian movies
i found many things indian made in market such as sari,chadder,cosmatic and many other things.so i don``t agree with you.

Today on NPR, I heard an interview of a Pakistani who was deported from the US because of immigration violations. The interview followed him to his parent`s home in Lahore. What caught my attention was the music that was being played at home. It was Indian hindi filmi music!

re: why Pak bans artists from India?
I would also like to ask the same questions that Sadna has asked in her post. Why are Indian artists not allowed free access to Pakitan the way Pakistani artists enjoy access to India?
I remember, when i was a kid in Delhi, my dad got hold of some tickets for the Ghazal concert by the maestro Mehndi Hassan. We all enjoyed it very much. I have seen other Qawwals from Pak come and perform at regular intervals. Some of them have a huge following. I also remember the time when Noor Jehan came to India. She was well received.
Now, Pak has never invited the 2 singers who have been extremely popular: Md Rafi and Lata Mangeshwar. Of the 2, one is no more. The other has hit a nadir after singing for decades. Pak`s elite just cannot countenance a famous Indian coming to Pak and perform. Some fear that their music industry will be affected (as if it is doing anything great right now). Others just hate Indians, period. Pak govt did not have problems when Ms Arundhati Roy came to Pak as she was considered a critic of Indian govt. In the field of arts and music, India has a lot more to show than Pak and Pak elite cannot stomach that.
Perhaps one day the realisation will come that Pak music industry needs to work in tandem with India. This will allow it to learn and grow out of its self-imposed isolation.

Its not only Indian artistes who are banned in Pakistan, Indian music, Indian films, Indian TV channels, Indian books, Indian goods are banned too. Does the author mention these? No. Why?

Nazarhayathkhan # 2 says . . . ``Art & Music are the common heritage of the mankind.``

Yeah, right. The sanity of men won`t work, the vanity of women shall.

Inspired Inzamam? When was he last inspired?

That apart, the people of the countries manage, merit will surface so if our/your singers are good, then their CDs/cassettes will sell.

Babar

You are absolutely right.

Let us, the people, not lower ourselves to the level of the politicians, foreign office officials, intelligence agencies and religious extremists.

Art & Music are the common heritage of the mankind.
