  • Altruistic feminism in 2020 Pakistan

    پاکستان میں خواتین کی حقوق پسندی اور حقوق پرستی کی کشمکش

    Response to a passionate anti traditional western feminist:

    Dealing with anarchist feminism is not my priority right now. A famous Pakistani drama Ranjha Ranjha Kardi created by faithful semifeminists has made the idea of altruistic feminism popular, so I don’t think there is a need for radical anti feminism at least in 2020 Pakistan. My orthodox wife is a semi anti feminist. My wife has co opted with free flow of knowledge and she is an orthodox political scientist. You can study how battle of Jamal has already refuted feminism in Eastern world. But this is too much nuance for you to deconstruct. I hope you leave your comfort zone of self sufficiency to at least re read what I have said. Thanks again for outreach

  • Pakistani tribal majoritarianism

    { Similarly, even if every single tribeswoman ‘willed’ that her right to vote be taken away, a democratic government cannot uphold that will, no matter how many tribesmen deem it offensive to their traditions.}

     

    Why should a modernist dictate what is tribal will. Isn’t modernity itself a form of post Judaeo-Christian Anglo Saxon tribalism?

  • Traditional anti feminist polemic

    تم ٹائر بدل لیتی ہو !
    میرا شوہر تو مجھے
    وزنی سامان تک نہیں اٹھانے دیتا

    تم موزہ ڈھونڈنے کا کہتی ہو !
    میرا شوہر مجھے ڈھونڈتا ہے

    تم برابری کا نعرہ لگاتی ہو !
    میرا شوہر خود سے بڑھ کر
    مجھے مان دیتا ہے
    خود پرانے لباس میں ہو
    مجھے ہر بار نئے جوڑے دیتا ہے
    خود سالہا سال ایک جوتے
    میں گزار دیتا ہے
    مجھے ہر بار نئے جوتے دیتا
    ّود سستے کپڑے لے کر
    مجھے برانڈڈ دلواتا ہے

    تمہیں حق کے لیےباہر آنا پڑا
    میرا شوہر مجھے خود سے
    سارے حق دیتا ہے

    روز آفس سے کال کر
    مجھ سے پوچھتا ہے
    آج کیا لانا ہے
    گویا میری رائے ہی
    سب باتوں پر مقدم ہے
    میری چاہت ہی اعظم ہے

    تم اپنا بتاؤ

    کیا ہے کوئی جو تم سے کہے
    چھوڑ دو یہ میں کرتا ہوں
    وزنی ہے یہ نہ تم اٹھاؤ
    اسے میں اٹھاتا ہوں

    ارے نہیں نہیں !
    تمہاری قسمت ایسی کہاں
    تم تو دوسروں کی
    عیاشی کا سامان ہو
    گھر سے اپنے فرار ہو
    تم تو ٹائر بدلتی ہو
    تمہیں تو بے طریقہ
    بیٹھنے کا حق چاہیے ….

    سنو !
    مییرا شوہر میرا ایمان ہے
    دھوپ میں سائبان ہے
    میرے لیے تحفۂ رحمان ہے
    میں اسے کھانا بھی دونگی
    موزے بھی ڈھونڈوں گی
    اس کے پسینے کی بو سے
    مجھے جنت کی خوشبو آتی ہے

    تم خود تو برباد ہو
    دوسروں کی بربادی کا سامان ہو

    تم پہلے میری برابری تو کر لو
    پھر کسی سے برابری کا دعوا کرنا
    منقول…..

    You can change tyres. While my husband doesn’t allow me to lift any heavy object. You want him to look for his own socks, while my husband looks for my existence. You talk about equality, while my husband gives me priority over himself. He buys me new clothes while consider his old clothes to be sufficient. He is happy with old shoes while he buys new shoes for me. He is happy with cheap traditional clothes while he buys branded clothes for me. You had to leave home for your rights, while I receive rights at home. He calls me everyday from office as if my opinion is more important and my wish is supreme. Tell about yourself. Do you have someone who is a helper. No you cannot be so fortunate. You are a toy for others. You do not like your own home. You know how to change tyres and you want the right to womanspreading. While my husband is my faith, my shelter, my divine gift. I will prepare food for him at all costs. I will even find his socks. His sweat is perfume of Paradise for me
    . While you are a loser and want other women to be losers. So, before trying to become equal to men, try to be equal to me first.

  • Spiritual anchors of meaning

    Do not try to judge a religious scholar on his IQ level, but try to identify the spiritual anchors of meaning he represents.

  • Paying for psychological damage

    Imagine a world where you have to pay for causing tangible psychological distress. This is what Caliph Umar ra did.

    Once a pregnant woman had miscarriage due to awe of Caliph Umar ra. He being God fearing was worried about his afterlife. Imam Ali kaw advised him to pay ten camels worth damages to her as it is tantamount to unintentional murder. He also told him that these people who are taking it lightly are not your well wishers and will not help you on the day of judgement.

  • Authentic daughters of East

    Today is first death anniversary of my Indo-Scythian grandmother who was a strict nomohagiosophical genius and an assertive anti feminist. In a world which rewards westernized Benazir and Malala, traditional authentic mothers and daughters of East need not be forgotten. اللهم اغفر لحينا و ميتنا و ذكرنا و إنثانا

  • Let us speak for Pakistani and Malaysian science

    I do not know how being nice to atheists can stop the extinction of traditional cultures and languages. Atheism is a Darwinist worldview that needs a fit challenge to make it reconsider itself. Pakistani and Malaysian pious science is a good cure of Godless narrative.

  • Deep generational bridging journal

    Jan 2020

    FB status:

    Had a unique spiritually and intellectually stimulating discussion with my father tonight lasting 1.5 hrs to less than 2 hrs. How many of you had a deep talk with parents most recently?

    Feb 2020

    I did a sermon on women rights, human rights and mystery of ethnolinguistic diversity on my grandfather’s funeral.

  • Hillel and dysphoria

    Alperovich Anatoly The idea of union with God can lead to trinitarian incarnation. But a Jew and Muslim can detect when tranquility of shekina descends during keeping commandments, like Gentiles enjoy sex and wine, but initially one must tolerate the transient dysphoria. Gentiles do tolerate the dysphoria during hardwork of science.

  • Ecumenical humanist leadership

    Jeffrey Dean Most victims of Iran are my fellow Sunnis not Americans. Imagine an ecumenical humanist leader emerging in Middle East who stands for the vulnerable. Shariati was one such guy who inspired revolution against a secular dictator in Iran.
