Tariq Aqil,

I sincerely hope you are not a fauji-lover. Because if you are not and totally oppose them, then I will view your above letter with the deepest appreciation and admiration because the Qaid`s dream of a constitutional state is being slaughtered by one excuse or another.


DINA WADIA NEEDS TO BE APOLOGIZED FOR THE FUKED UP STATE THE FAUJIZ HAVE BROUGHT THE NATION TO. HER FATHER`S ONLY PRINCIPAL IN LIFE WAS TO STAND IN FACE OF ANY UNCONSITUTIONAL MEANS OF ACHIEVING GOALS NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION, WHAT THE CIRUCMSTANCES. HE WAS BOOED AND RIDICULED BECAUSE OF HIS OPPOSITION TO THE IMMENSELY POPULIST MOVEMENT OF GANDHI AND THE ALI BROTHERS. THE QAID OPPOSED THE NON-VIOLENT MOVEMENT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A POPULIST ONE.

THESE FAUJI FREAKS ARE NOT ONLY NON-CONSTITUTIONAL, BUT THEY HAVE NO POPULAR SUPPORT ASIDE FROM ASSUMPTION THAT `THE SILENT MAJORITY` AT LARGE HAVE THE NOTION THAT `IT COULD BE WORSE!` HARBORING NOTIONS SUCH AS THESE IN ITSELF SHOWS THAT IDEALISM IS FUKING DEAD AMONG THOSE WHO SUPPORT THE FAUJIZ!! AND FAUJI SUPPORTERS CLAIM TO BE HONORING THE QAID!!

This is Bull $hit !! You have no right to write a letter to an Indian citizen. Now these guys are looking for an Indian to be their saviour. Sorry she can`t do anything.

I have seen a bunch of articles by pakistanis on Lady Wadia. All praising the hapless lady to high heavens .. waxing eloquence ... jerking tears.

What is interesting is that she didn`t seem to give a damn.

What is also interesting is that - none of the intellectualls have asked a very pertinent question: Why exactly Ms Wadia, the only daughter of Mr. Quaid-e-Azam, spent all her life in the enemy country which was/is supposed to be very bad for Muslims?

How come Mr Jinnah - who created a whole country from a type-writer - couldn`t convince his own daughter on his two-nation-theory .... that ``good muslims cannot live with bad old hindus``?

Could someone explain exactly why Dina Wadia is a celeberity, or deserves to be treated as a State guest? I have nothing against her. I actually thought she had moved to the USA and passed away.

We need to get out of our habit of hero-worship, without objectively debating what the hero did, or did not do. But, even moreso, we definitely need to get out of the habit of worshipping the off-spring of heroes and heroines. I am sure Dina Wadia is probably a wonderful person. But shouldn`t someone have done something for Pakistan, to get a, ``special`` status amongst its people.

Why exactly does Mr. Aqil admire her? Can he point out any achievements of her towards Pakistan? Or does he admire her because she has the right genes? Or is he simply trying to find an object through which he can let out his dislike of the maulvis? Would he admire her just the same, if she had decided to become a maulvi?

I am happy Dina Wadia and her son came to Pakistan to watch the match. However, they should have been treated no different than the Sardarji, from Amritsar, who rode in on a train, and was staying at Faletti`s hotel to watch the match, i.e. with respect, but not as an official State guest. That right should be reserved for people who actually are part of the govt. of a country.......

``To day Pakistan stands at the cross currents of history. On one side are the forces of extremism, obscurantism and religious bigotry while on the other side are the forces of tolerance, freedom, democracy, social justice and fraternity.``

Well, I understand who the first category of people are but who the guck are these goddamned forces of tolerance, freedom, democracy...? Please tell me it is not friggin` faujis you are referring to - goddamn it.

Ms. Dina Jinnah

Are you absolutely out of your gucking mind? What brought you into this country that your father founded. Please keep in mind that these goddamend faujis assassinated your aunt Fatima Jinnah by slashing her throat. And I thank God that your father passed away before these ghulam ibne ghulam would have hung him at a city square as well. Don`t you read newspapers. Don`t you know what they have done to the Defender of the Nation Dr. Abdul Qadir Khan. Please do not listen to this Aqeel guy. He is a liar and a chaaploos. He is misguiding you.
