HOLI DAY TURNED INTO A REBEL!!

March 1st started very smoothly. The holi day. People playing holi, putting colors to their friends. For me, yesterday was an easy day, I dint literally played holi, but enjoyed the zeal outside. Friends were explaining their day. I was writing journal and all of a sudden my cell phone banged with a flash message. “Check out suvarna news channel right now”. And that was the most astonishing thing to witness in TV. My place was burning like hell. I had never seen shivamogga like that. People shouting and shouting. All of a sudden I couldn’t make out what was wrong.


Issue was about an article in Kannada prabha. “Parda hai parda”. It was a translated version actually. Bangladesh’s controversial writer taslema nasrin’s article translated and published in Kannada prabha which was the reason for the protest. Muslims of Shivamogga were protesting against the article in ameer Ahmed circle and its circumference. Around 1500 people were protesting against the article. They burnt the flag of Hindu samavesha during the protest which triggered the Hindu people over there. Then Hindus also started burning complexes. The mob then turned violent. They started burning auto rickshaws, busses, tyres, taxis, bikes etc. They burned many complexes in Nehru road. Some chauvinistic people took this opportunity only to destroy the things. They started throwing stones, petrol bombs. The situation was totally out of control. Then the police opened goli bar to control the mob. 2 people died all because of that stupid article. The same scenario was created in Hassan also. Today curfew (section 144) has been declared. And it will be lifted only after the burial of the dead bodies. Situation is now under control from morning.



Taslima nasrin is one of the most controversial writers in Bangladesh. Her provoking almost anti-Islam articles are always condemned in Bangladesh. And one fine day in the year 1994 she was thrown out from Bangladesh. And India was the safest place for her. I don’t know why we always push ourselves into the well. What was the need to give her shelter in our country? As if we are not having any problems in our country. From that day we are facing a lot all because of her. I am not telling some XYZ have no right to speak or write. But this crap is not at all needed for us. We already have many more problems to face rather than a freak writer’s craps.


I was not able to find out the necessity for publishing the article in Kannada prabha. Let me brief out the main contents of the article:
• Why women should wear burqas? Only because she is a piece of attraction for men? Eventually it is the mistake of men who cannot control their feelings. Why women are suffering because of men?
• Koran has information about the burqa; it says women have to wear burqas to protect themselves from others.
• Women are ill treated in Muslim community, bitter truth which all have to accept.
• The prophet Mohammad’s stories (burqas history extracted from hadis):
1. Prophet Mohammad lavishly spent his first wife’s wealth like anything and was suffering from poverty. At that time he called his wives and told them to leave his house and lead their own life as they want. All his wives left him and started to lead their life by their own. But one fine day, prophet’s disciple umaan told him that their wives are being notified by other men. At that time the prophet ordered them to wear a cloth which would cover their whole body. (Her point is, if men instead of women are thrown out of their houses and have to lead their life by own, they too have to wear the burqa. Why it is only limited up to men?)
2. After Prophet Mohammad’s victory in khaidar war, he looted everything including women. A woman named Sophie was one among them. Prophet Mohammad declared that by tomorrow, if she wears the burqa he will marry her or else she will be his servant.
3. One of the Prophet Mohammad’s wives Ayesha was an extra ordinary beauty. Visitors of prophet were obviously attracted by her beauty. Prophet was frustrated from this and he might have ordered his wives to wear burqa
• In this world there is no existence of women. They have cornered women.
• Parda system is justifying the heinous acts of Muslims.
• Shabana azmi and others who merely know about Koran debates that there have been no such things indicated in Koran about parda system. I want one answer, if it would have been indicated in Koran about the parda system will you all people wear burqa? Answer is “bilkul no!!”
• Not a single woman should wear burqa; it is a disrespectful deed.
• All because of a man (yavano!!) who lived 1500 years ago, we have to compromise our lives.
• Covering her head with burqa is like covering her brain from thinking.
• Finally all Muslim women should take off their burqas and should burn them in public.


After all these messy things, now she is telling she had not written any article like that and her writings are misused. I mean hellooooo, tell us something we don’t know madam!! Let us presume you have not written this for now, what about the writings in past you wrote? She also said, prophet mohammad himself was against the burqa system. Then what is all these shit huh? Kannada prabha purely denied her statement because they have extracted this from a book written by her. And that’s all they will do from now on. The only results from a stupid article was violence, loss and a holiday. When will we change? When will our country change? God knows!
