Poor grammer and weak sentence structure has ruined this write up. It also becomes quite mediocre at the end.

guys..I think he said somewhere in the article that he is ``the`` Khar not ``a`` Khar. I agree if he is only ``a`` Khar he should not be bound by the deeds of other Khars but if he is closely related then some people are going to take it with a pinch of salt and call it ironic. In either case his attempt to highlight the issue is admirable...I think he is probably honest about it too.

Dark and funny.
Btw, help your wife with the housework and stop complaining.

dullabhatti: I agree wth hamidm. The stories about 2-3 ``bad`` Khars should not be used against Khar as a tribe. It would be same if 2-3 bad Sandhus, Manns or Reddys are used to stereotype all of them. There are tens of thousands of Khars around a place called Kot Addu in district Muzaffargarh. Some believe that they are the southern branch of Kharral tribe of the north (Mirza Jatt and Rai Ahmed Khan Kharral of 1857 mutiny fame) although Kharrals call themselves Jatts but Malik Khar seems to be calling himself a Rajput.
P.S. I am not sure if tehmina daultana is same as one of Khar`s wife, tehmina. I believe her name was Tehmina Durrani or something like that. Tehmina Daultana is PML(N) leader and daughter of famous politician Mumtaz Daultana from Vehari.

Shahnawaz:
Lets not be held hostage to our family names!!
I have read this before in the TFT as well and I have to admit that I have mixed feelings. And admittedly, I await your reply to the different opinions/remarks posted on this board. That should be interesting :)

I agree with HamidM. What the hell logic is this that because he is a Khar he should not write satire about spousal abuse? Maybe all Desais are forbidden from talking about urine??
Anyway, this was a pretty good piece of writing. I really enjoyed the run on commentary.

.... i think it is quite unfair of the readership to ridicule this fine piece of satire simply because the author`s last name is khar ........... for god`s sake guys, ghulam mustafa khar is not the only khar around - there must be hundreds, if not thousands of them .............
........... and in any case, what was so wrong with what gmk did? ......... so he married six or seven beautiful women in succession - but as far as i know he, unlike some other great men, had only one wife at a time ............. and come on, do you really believe verything that is in that terribly written kiss and tell book by tehmina dautana - a lot of it is probably ranting and raving by a jilted ex-wife ........... it is national enquirer stuff ........... i don`t have the foggiest idea what the real story is, but you can`t go on berating everyone with the last name khar ...............

I think you have the difficult task of pulling off the saracasm with a readership that you know will probably miss it because of the unfamiliarity, etc. Hence the various bits of paranthetical remarks to bring the readers up to speed. Because of that, the piece, trying to reach high, falls down on itself. Not your fault really. As Shandana said it might work with TFT, if you keep out the editorial comments.

This article could have been just an attempt to highlight the problem in society using humour, if it was not written by `a` Khar. If what I have read about Khars in the past is true, Malik sahib you should have been more careful approaching this subject. Anyone else takes it lightly....is probably ok..but if you talk about this subject you better be serious..very serious. See now it looks like not only Khars(you may be an exception) treat their wives badly but also laugh over it. Not good. Very much against what you were trying to say.
If Wiji really does the house chores herself, kudos to her. nai te saaday desh `ch te keeRiyaN nu vi zukaam hoyea piya ay...chaudraaniaN hath hila ke raaji nai.

What is with the surname ``Khar`` and divorcing/beating/raping/killing wives?? Does all the Khar clan`s DNA match with the direct decendents of Ivan The Terrible or something?
