तलवारों से मेरे सर को झुकना नहीं आता

Should Anderson not be handed over to India, to do justice with the People who were killed in Bhopal Gas disaster?


            “Justice has been done” said US President Barack Obama from white house while informing people that the Biggest terrorist of the world has been killed.  Obama was very proud saying that the mastermind of 9/11 attack has been killed by US Forces and justice has been done with the victims of 9/11 attack.

             It is to be noted that more than 3000 innocent people were killed in 9/11 attack and Al Qaeda Chief Osama Bin Laden was alleged to be involved in the attack. After the attack, US attacked Taliban which sheltered Osama Bin Laden. Even after defeating Taliban, US could not find Bin Laden.  US continued the search for Bin Laden and after 10 year of struggle, US finally succeeded to locate Bin Laden and killed him. After the death of Bin Laden, Obama declared victory against Al Qaeda and said justice has been done.  

It is also to be noted around 11000  people were killed in Bhopal Gas Disaster and around 60000 people suffered serious injuries in the disaster. Should Anderson who was behind the disaster, should be handed over to India, in order to do justice with the people who were killed in Bhopal Gas Disaster.

              I would like to ask Indian Government to pressurize US  to hand over Anderson . It is the right time to do so. We should be opportunistic.

                America has sheltered who killed more than 11 thousand  innocent people. If US really want to do justice with the victims then It must come forward to extradite Anderson to india as he killed more innocent people than  Osama did.

The impact of Burqa and the Impact of abolition of Burqa

Impact of Burqa and the Abolition of Burqa
Many learned people write about the abolition of Burqa and say if the Burqa is abolished then the status of women in Muslim community shall be enhanced.  As Mr. Khushwant Singh said that Muslim women are backward because of Parda pratha(Veil System) and If Burqa or Hijab is abolished then only the status of women can be equalized with others. Let us see what would happen if Burqa is abolished from all possible angle.
 Modern women and women from upper classes do not wear Burqa and are rather westernized. It means if Burqa is abolished then their status shall not be affected from the abolition.

Women who fear Allah and follow Islamic laws shall not accept the abolition. They shall prefer staying at home rather than walking on the road without Hijab.

 Women who are forced to cover their face shall be forced to remain at home rather than walking on the road without Burqa or Hijab.


       It means abolition of Burqa is not going to help Muslim women anyway. In fact they shall be subjected to additional torture . Indeed a statute can be passed not to make women wear Burqa By using physical force.

Does Burqa badly affect the society and Peace?
In one hand western countries are trying to preserve identity and culture of aboriginal living in India or in other backward countries but what if  muslim women want to preserve their identity. I am strongly against using physical force to make women wear Burqa or to confine  women at home. People who oppose the Hijab of Muslim women and talk about abolition as happened in France should answer following Questions, having a hand in their heart:
1.     Does Burqa badly affect the society?
2. Can Muslim women not allowed to work with Hijab?
    Should identity of Muslim women not be respected?
MMy sisters fear Allah. No body in our family forces them to wear Hijab but they want to   wear Hijab. Should they not be allowed to do what they want?

Rights of Women in Islam
No other religion gives as much of rights as provides  Islam to women.
Islam is the first religion which legalized the right of women to remarry.
For a valid  marriage the acceptance of women if compulsory.
In other religion, women is treated to be cursed to suffer pain while giving birth because of the sin done in Heaven. But in Islam it is not so but the status of women is made higher for suffering pain.
Mehar is women’s exclusive right of maintenance. In Islam, women have absolute right to receive maintenance. When they are under the guardianship of their father, it is the duty of the father to maintain them. When married,  it is the duty of the husband to maintain her. When she has no body to   take care of her then it is the duty of the Society and then of the  Muslim Government to  maintain her.
In the same manner, it is the right of the women that she can hide her face from strangers.
If people talk about abolition of Burqa then they are talking about taking away the right of muslim women, Which should not be allowed at least in Indian Parliament.  Consider if A Sikh women is not allowed to worship Guru Nanak Sahib; Shall it be held constitutional?

I would like to suggest Mr. Khushwant Singh use his brain to understand What  is Burqa for? If he does not have then he should not be allowed to write over religious issues.

Hang me if I spoke any thing wrong.

Let women do what they want.


In a democratic country, Everyone has the right to expression. Even a stupid like  Khushwant singh

I was reading The Hitwada today(01-04-2011).   My eye caught the article “Abolish Burqa” written by a famous man but a stupid-khushwant Singh. I did not know much about him.  I had only read a  joke book of Khushwant singh so initially I considered him a joker. But after reading his article I came to know that he is a stupid.
He supported what France did by abolishing veil. He insists that veil is jihalat(ignorance). He also criticizes Dr. Zakir Naik who supports veil and considers veil to be protection to women.  He says that Dr. Naik’s argument makes him laugh on the other hand he also admits that Dr. Naik’s argument is right. I still can not understand why a person laughs on hearing correct and right things. I know only one class of  person who laugh without reason. And crazy, insane, lunatics, mad are appropriate adjectives to those persons.
      He contended that only women from lower middle class family wear BURQAS and women from educated and wealthy family do not  wear Burqas but are rather     westernized.
      I don’t understand what was he arguing for? He says only women from lower middle class wear veil. His argument also supports Burqa. If a wealthy woman, who  is likely to have influence in the government walks without veil, no one dares to comment at her because people know it is dangerous to do anything with her. But people feel free to  molest an unprotected woman. I know many such instances when stray women were raped. And no action was taken against the rapists. I am sure that if those women had worn Burqas it would not have happened.
      Let  us take an example of our state capital. At Raipur, girls and women cover their faces when they walk on the road, or when they ride on their vehicle. Many organization came and protested that they are adopting Arabian culture. Many beat some of those girls black and blue on the road. No one came to support those women. Only one community came  in their support and people called that community to be fundamentalist. A survey was conducted. Many college going girls, office going girls, women at executive posts gave their opinion. None of them said that they want to uncover their face if a statute is passed against Burqa. They said blatantly that they don’t care of such statutes. They said that they cover their faces with clothes because it protects them from  sun, dusts and many pollutants which may harm their skin. They further said that they feel protected when their face is covered. I don’t say that they admitted that they feel protected from molestation but they admitted that it protects them someway. They admitted that when they cover their faces they feel protected and they walk  and  work without fear.
In Hindu religion also veil system is respected. There are many examples in Vedas and other Hindu scripture. One is very important to notice. “Shri Laxaman indentified Mata Sita by her Payal” It means there  must have been Parda pratha.
He says Muslims are fundamentalists. If one follows his religion he becomes fundamentalists. If a person follows his religion he becomes superstitious. Then I think Sikhs would be more fundamentalists.
I want to clarify that I am a fundamentalist. And I respect those who follow their religion.  But for the sake of argument let us see another fundamentalist community. Sikhs wear turban. Muslims also wear turbans. Prophet Mohammad “Peace be upon him” also wore turban.  Even now many Islamic scholars and even Doctors say that wearing a turban is beneficial for a man. But it is not mandatory to wear a turban. In Sikh religion it is mandatory.

If Khushwant singh thinks that wearing a Burqa  is outdated then he must accept that wearing a turban is also outdated, Having a knife is ridiculous, Wearing a Kara(big bangle) is feminine. If Khushwant Singh was allowed to amend Sikh religion he had replaced knife with a gun taking western culture into account a bracelet instead of Kara  . I urge Sikh community  not to allow Mr.  Khushwant singh amend Sikh  Religion.
 He has had a very high  post. He should not criticize the  religion of others without reasonable grounds. Hang me if I  have spoken anything wrong. I respect Sikh community. They are honest, hard working and  friendly. I love them for their love for the nation. They are the son of the soil. Khuswant singh can not be a real Sikh.
I want  Khushwant Singh, he is  like my grand father that he should use his mind what god has  given him. He should not think that being westernized is the only way to be civilized. He should not blind believe upon western way of life. Western can be right and can also be wrong.
Western people don’t follow their religion and also want others not to follow theirs. Jesus Christ “Peace be upon him” said if women  pray  without covering their head their head should be shaved”.
I ask Khuswant Singh that What would he like to do in order to protect her daughter after knowing that   a person lives in his locality who sees at his daughter with lust?
I ask Khuswant singh What would happen if women work covering their face? Islam does not prohibit women from learning, working?
Let women think about their protection. No one else has the right to impose his thoughts upon the entire women community. Like Khushwant singh said “Burqa should be banned”. What does he want? Does he want to  take away the freedom of women? If Khushwant Singh says that Taliban forces Muslim women to cover their faces then what does he want to do? He wants now to force women to uncover their faces. Does he have any reason for the conflict. It is about  religion. Does his  religion expressly or impliedly says that women must uncover their faces. Does his religion say that men have the right to look at   every women with lust.
Why does he feel bad when he can not see the face of a woman.
If a person says anything with reasonable ground, Mr. Khushwant Singh laughs but himself speaks without ground supporting his contention. Let the world laugh.  Ha ha ha ha …..

Hang me if I spoke any thing wrong.

Ek nazuk kali muskurane lagi hai.

ek nazuk kali muskurane lagi hai.
meri ankhon se neendein churane lagi hail.

deewana banati  uski jhalak
zulfon ki ghataon  mein lipta shafaq
khuda  ki tarashi  moorat hai wo
beimtehan khubsurat  hai wo

sun  ke batein meri sharmanein lagi hai

ek nazuk kali muskurane lagi hai.
meri ankhon se neendein churane lagi hail.

tasavvur me bhi tadpati  hai wo
khabon me ake satati hai wo
dekhi na thi kabhi aisi ada
deewana hua aur karta bhi kya.

aur zoron se dil dhadkane lagi hai.


ek nazuk kali muskurane lagi hai.
meri ankhon se neendein churane lagi hail.

kahna hai usse kaise kahun
darde mohabbat kaise sahun.
ek lamhe me jane wo kya kar gayee
ek jhalak  me jigar se juda kar gayee

hay palkon se bijli girane lagi hai
wo hai zalim bahot tadpane l agi hai
ek nazuk kali muskurane lagi hai.
meri ankhon se neendein churane lagi hail.
