Dear Rubina Sahibah,

Your article Bhoot makes use of the term, “Taliban” without identifying and separating the Afghans (who are fighting against the invaders) from the TTP thugs from Pakistan’s FATA region. The lack of the essential distinction between the two creates a rather negative connotation for the genuine Taliban. The thugs from FATA who call themselves the Taliban are stealing and misusing the identification only to confuse the people of Pakistan and the rest of the world and serving the American and Indian interests in the region.

I realize that the Taliban (I do not mean the TTP thugs here) are backward people. But they are not any more backward than the rest of the Afghan population that is not identified as the Taliban. To me a backward nation that does not harm any one is more acceptable than the technologically advanced people like the Americans, British and many other who make up the NATO forces. What good are the so called developed and advanced nations that go around kill innocent people by the millions only to serve their geo-political plans.

If there is a Bhoot around, it is the imperial forces from the advanced nations causing all sorts of problems around the globe.  There will be no peace in Afghanistan-Pakistan region until the Anglo-American Bhoots are removed from that area.

اسلام علیکم۔

امید ہے کہ اللہ کریم کے فصل و کرم سے آپ خیروعافیت سے ہوں گی۔ میری دعا ہے کہ جب آپ کو یہ ایمیل ملے تب آپ اپنی جسمانی روحانی اور ذہنی صحت کے لحاظ  سے بہترین حالت میں ہوں ۔آمین   میں سبھی لکھاریوں کے کالمز پڑھتا ہوں خاص طور پرمیں آپ کے سبھی کالمز دلچسپی سے پڑھتا ہوں۔ مجھے آپ کے کالمز میں بہت ساری اچھوتی باتیں ملتی ہیں ۔ آپ کی تحریروں میں وطن کی محبت اور پیار چھلکتا ہے ۔ آپ کے کالمز کی سب سے بڑی خوبی یہ ہے کہ آپ نے مغرب میں رہنے کے باوجود نہ تو اس کے مادی نظام سے مرعوبیت محسوس نہیں  کی ہے اور نہ ہی اس کی عریانیت کی وکالت کی ہے جیسے کہ ہمارے وطن کی کچھ عورتیں کر رہی ہیں۔   میں بہت دنوں سے آپ کو ایمیل لکھنے کا سوچتا تھا مگر پھر اس لئے اپنا ارادہ بدل دیتا تھا کہ میرا آپ سے تعارف تو نہیں ہے ۔ کہیں آپ برا نہ منا جائیں۔

آپ اور آپ کے اہل خانہ کے لئے ڈھیروں دعائیں ہیں اللہ کریم منظور و مقبول فرمائیں ۔ آمین

The essay, Ander ki Boo, highlights prejudice, an intrinsic human trait that exists in one form or the other in more or less all nations and communities of the world. The dictionary meanings of prejudice are: an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge; an instance of such judgment or opinion; an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics. 

Many years ago, a stand up comedian told the following joke on British TV: 

“Do you know the difference between a Pakistani and an Indian?

The Pakistanis smell curry, and the Indians just smell” 

The comedian received a few laughs at the cost of immigrants from those two countries by being nasty and derogatory against them. The audience are often unconsciously part of the process by which they take pleasure in degrading others. Unfortunately, the matter does not end there. Often enough, the process repeats itself in one form or the other such that a certain ethnic community becomes a permanent target of degradation. The dangerous implication of this is that a certain, not so bright cross-section of the society misinterprets the jokes and the jest and mistakenly perceives them as a reality on the lines of a division of superior beings and inferior beings.  

Many incidents are on record in the US and Canada whereby, the White riffraff ended up murdering Non-Whites where the things started from simple horsing around and ended up murdering the victims.  

We do not hear about similar situations of Whites murdering Whites without the presence of a known reason or incentive but we do hear about Whites committing  murders of Non-Whites with no apparent rhyme or reason. It would appears that certain dimwitted individuals go around with delusional perceptions of being “superior” hence they believe it is fair to do whatever they want to do to the “inferiors” for fun or whatever reason it may be.   

Deep seated, unchecked prejudices often end up causing great damage at individual as well as at national levels. The ethnic, sectarian or political prejudices belong to the same human weaknesses which are often exploited by a stand up comedian to get (apparently) a harmless laugh.

The article brings back sentimental yearning of the yesteryears. When I was a young lad, each time my father talked about his own younger days of pre-partitioned India, I used to think as if he was talking about a century old history, that only existed to fill the history book pages. Now, that I have taken his place in age and responsibilities in the real world – the world that often appears unkind and vindictive; more cruel and overbearing, less forgiving and forbearing, the nostalgic thoughts and the importance of history has taken a prominent place in my thought process. The reminiscence and nostalgia is a great band-aid to enable one to wade through the bitter realities of the present life.  

Reading about pratha and omelet smell for breakfast took me back through time creating a virtual picture in my mind, similar to what the article has depicted. But, unfortunately, that is not the extent of it. My thoughts quickly scramble to connect the dots between economy, sociology and politics and how they impact our every day life.  

Going beyond my personal nostalgia, the article reminds me of the great historical injustices that took place at national and international levels around the world. In spite of the fact that the history books have recorded the events in great details, it’s a pity that no one is willing to read them and learn any lessons; consequently, condemned to repeat the same mistakes.  

Had our forefathers dealt with the British Trading Company wisely during 18^th and 19^th centuries, India may not have been through, what it has been; the socio-economic destruction and political molestation that has forced many of us to wander around the globe only to earn our living in lands far away from the sweet smell of pratha  and omelets prepared with freshly chopped coriander and mint leaves.

Dear Rubina Sahiba,

Remember all the terrorism caused by Blackwater in Iraq? They are now rampant in Pakistan – thanks to Uncle Sam for appointing PPP and its ilk to rule Pakistan and getting it destroyed as Iraq was destroyed. When $1000 a day salary is offered to poor people by CIA/Blackwater (Xe) operatives, many will be ready to sell their souls and start slaughtering their own people. If compradors were not ruling Pakistan, you would not have had to write your recent column, NOHA. The article below is only a drop in the ocean to give you an idea how the foreign elements operate in poor countries like Pakistan, M.E and South America. If the CIA operatives are not going to be removed very soon, you are going to see a lot more bloodbath of innocent people and perhaps more frequently too. The foreign mercenaries will not be removed unless the present government is removed and replaced by some intelligent, honest, competent and selfless people.  

Javed
