An Ode Called Amritsar
Posted by amansandhu Jul 16, 2008 05:08 am
“ In Goindwal, which is on the river Biyãh (Beas), there was a Hindu named Arjan, in the garments of sainthood and sanctity, so much so that he had captured many of the simple-hearted of the Hindus, and even of the ignorant and foolish followers of Islam, by his ways and manners, and they had loudly sounded the drum of his holiness. They called him Guru, and from all sides stupid people crowded to worship and manifest complete faith in him. For three or four generations (of spiritual successors) they had kept this shop warm. Many times it occurred to me to put a stop to this vain affair or to bring him into the assembly of the people of Islam.

what a coincidence, my village and city mentioned in one go.
my ancestral house is about a kilometer away from goindwal sahib gurudwara.the open spaces and greenery around the gurudwara is very soothing, i can visit this holy place again and again.
An Ode Called Amritsar
Posted by amansandhu Jul 16, 2008 04:38 am
i visited Amritsar recently after almost 10 years, was shocked to see how dirty it has become. the beautiful mall road is in a state of neglect, grand kothis along it have been demolished to make commercial complexes. population has increased manifold as has the traffic.
Ammara, I dont think the area around the railway station has changed much, your mum shud be able to locate the area where she had lived.
the golden temple is as beautiful and serene as ever. you feel and immense sense of peace as soon as you enter the place.

These Lawyers Seem Somewhat Above the Law

I remember seeing Naem Bokhari on PTV. He came across as a dignified and refined person. Tout or not, the lawyers had no business to beat him up.

"Will someone consider a suo moto notice to restore the prestige of a district court?"

Will you do it Manto.

Sex Education For the Next Generation

Hamidin,
Some tribals in India have it right. Before marriage young boys and girls live in something like a community hall to check out sexual compatibility etc, marriage is not binding, after marriage they are allowed to remarry etc

Hamidin, LOL,
Imagine a world without marriage, the guys will be out dispersing their seed and the women will have to bear the consequences.
Sex Education For the Next Generation
Posted by amansandhu Sep 8, 2007 04:08 am
Dr. Khalid,
Sex is a natural instinct, at puberty both boys and girls start having sexual desires, it is not a thing that is learned.
However, Sex education is required not only to teach the physiology of sex but also to bring awareness that these desires are natural etc and to teach the young to respect their bodies. For instance a girl may give in to sexual desire not knowing that it can lead to pregnancy A young boy with conflicting thoughts about masturbation can become traumtised etc.
As humans evolved - and what differentiates them from animals - they started having control over their sexual desires.
Society advocates marriage. With marriage there structure and responsbilty.

Again you show your ignorance and arrogance
Days of Rage

Naqsh, your knowledge of India is limited and is Mughal centric.
The forts and palaces of Rajasthan and other states are not copies of Mughal architecture most predate the Mughals. Most foreign tourists visit Rajasthan, Goa, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh where you hardly find any Mughal influence.
