Hi – I just listened to Anwar Akhtar’s “Four Thought” talk on the BBC. Food for thought – and I just had to visit a website with the daft & delicious name of Samosa. No time to look through the articles now, but there’s clearly plenty worth reading.
Anwar – Britain and the world need people like you, valuing and making known the history and genuine culture of your country of origin & present community – whether these are the same or not. All countries are beset by extremists now: from the main political parties (Conservative EU-haters, Republican Obama-haters, BJP haters of all but ‘true’ hindus, mutually-hating dynastic parties in Bangladesh, and … add your own knowledge of Pakistan; and on the ground in ‘multicultural’ areas, where gang culture and distortions of religion and tradition are fomenting mutual distrust and doing so much damage.
So – to Anwar and all your collaborators – keep up the good work!
From an Englishwoman living in Spain.
I hail from India, but have half of my family in India and the other half in Pakistan.
Though it is difficult for some Pakistanis to understand, we Indians and Pakistanis basically the same people.
My Pakistani host was angered when I told him that the singing gentleman, singing religious songs in Punjabi, were nearer the Hindu/Sikh folkore…the way of the singing denoted that. Sir V.S. Naipaul says similar things about the Indonesiam muslims identity crisis.
We fought the British together in the First War of Independance ( The so-called Sepoy Mutiny). It was in fact an all India uprising to kick out the Brits from India. Thanks to them, they were able to dvide us in Muslims and Hindus….something which is very difficult to understand, for me…as I was born and bred in the multicultural society in India, where people live in harmony, in spite of ‘adverse’ religious beliefs.
Many a muslim brands a Hindu as an unbeliever….which is not true…because a Good Muslim…you don’t become one by saying so…that you are one…or by killing that ..so called unbeliever.
The right belief in God, should not be in conflict with any other person’s different way of visualising the Creator or the lack of one as the atheists believe.
Sorry to say, Pakistan was built on not the idea of a state for the Muslim community, but on hate of India.
I have been listening to the Pakistan Radio since my childhood, and the evident tone of Mr Shakeel Ahmad, attacking India..all the time…we used to call him Saqeel Ahmad…our nick for him.
Pakistan, like most of the Islamic states, was a country run by dictators, with a difference now…it has obtained democracy….I am happy…and though many many criticise the elected, I am far from doing so….
The nation of Pakistan has a lot more to do for itself than isolating itself in the yolk of al-Qaeda…which may be a strone’s throw away. Afghanistan was destroyed by them, and Pakistan seems to be a good ground for such reactionists.
The people who will lose are the poor…they are the ones that always have to bear the burden of all the changes….
So long live the democracy…united we will survive….and this must be understood by Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Ceylonese….and the Indian subcontinent will be at least an economic threat to many….
Hi
Trawling through some of Radio 4′s archived programmes, I happened upon Anwar Akhtar’s speech on ‘Four Thought’. I agree with what he had to say about Pakistan and the suggestions he made to improve the lot of that blighted nation, my country too.
My view is that Pakistan will only make progress when a leader emerges from the Pakistani diaspora and who goes back and leads the people with love and hope and simplicity and integrity.The current people in power care only for their own aggrandizement and cannot be trusted. Pakistan desperately needs a new kind of leadership.
I heard Anwar Akhtar on Four Thought recently. Today approximately 50 people died in an explosion in Karachi targeting Shia Muslims. This follows the repeated assaults on the Hazara Shia community of Quetta. A genocide is taking place in Pakistan one bomb after another, one murder after the next. How many people are arrested, convicted and punished for terrorism in Pakistan? Does this correlate with the number of people dying at the hands of terrorists? I want to do something to remind the corrupt, self serving old men in the Pakistani political class that they are being watched and they will be held accountable. How do we do this Mr Akhtar? Please let me know if someone is already doing this or if it’s down to us.
Why dont you guys workout something for SHIA MUSLIMS ? who needs support of humanity ? raise your voice too wit us.
I would like to write an article looking at Homosexuality and Islam. My major focus will be on Quran v Hadith. Anwar Aktar contacted me recently and shared some great material relating to Pakistan. Please take a look at my blog braki.co.uk where I have discussed Homosexuality and Islam.
