Love at the Time of Chaos...!!

Do you want me to talk 

about LOVE...?

Do you really know anything about Love?

At the time of darkness

when

There is no Light of Hope

and

The World is silent over the bleeding 

small innocent kids, and their mothers

fathers, sisters and brothers

So what is meant by mankind

Do you preach Humanity....?

Are you a living sane soul...!

If yes....!!

Then why your  is not heard

You cannot talk about Oppressed Souls 

in this very Real World...!!

If Yes then why the hinger stricken 

old people, women and kids 

haven't got your attention...!!

Gaza is not your point of attention

India's Besieged Kashmir 

Fled with blood is not your moral value

to

talk, protest, and to raise your voices 

again the human like monsters

who are ruling the world

in fact

So, the dual faced Human Rights

are not understandable...

And more than that to talk about Love....

in these times of death, destruction and chaos...!!

British Colonial Rule Made Transgender a Subaltern Community in India

Transgender Rights Protests in India

The rule of law changed when the great Mughal Empire collapsed and the whole sub-continent was taken over by British authorities. The result was a disorientation and exploitation of so many classes of the society. The eunuchs did not enjoy the same positions as they had in the Mughal times. The colonial power had so much hatred against the transgender community as they introduced a separate act of law against these folks. It was called Criminal Tribal Act (CTC). It was necessary for all eunuchs to get a registration, and their movements were restricted and controlled. Some historians are of the opinion that colonial power was afraid of the valor and power that Transgender community had enjoyed in the earlier times, and they found it vulnerable to their own existence.

What was the Criminal Tribal Act, and how it affected the status of Transgender community?

       The Criminals' Tribal Act (CTC) was introduced to restrict the activities of the eunuchs in the society. It was pre-supposed that the transgender community was actively involved in kidnapping of kids, castration of male children for their own purposes of begging, and sodomy was an active state of their daily lives. The facts were quite different as they owned not just the royal pensions, places to live but agricultural lands to grow and earn. It was taken over by the British Empire.

       Under the act of CTC, men who were crossdressers and pretended to be like women were subject to legal punishment

“Under the CTC, wearing female clothing was a punishable offence for men. According to this law, “any eunuch ... who appears, dressed or ornamented like a woman, in a public street or place, or in any other place, with the intention of being seen from a public street or place, or who dances or plays music, or takes part in any public exhibition” could be sentenced to up to two years of imprisonment plus a fine. Moreover, the CTC criminalized “all persons of the male sex who admit themselves or on medical inspection clearly appear to be impotent”.

       The Colonial law rundown eunuchs to let go of their basic sources of generating income, and they were deprived of all public and civil rights. The Black Law didn’t favor anyone or anything but pushed the transgender community into deeper level of poverty and social isolation. The English people could only comprehend human beings having just two sexes, male or female. Even homosexuality was a punishable state as per British law and perception. The result was the separate living and the secret ways of earning like begging, theft or the prostitution. 

British Colonial Heads were Afraid of Power Enjoyed by Transgender Community

       Historians have reported that the British authorities desired to obliterate the Hijras as a clear and distinctive socio-cultural community, and having a separate gender identity. But the matter of fact was that they could not find success in their deliberate efforts, and the result was that many leaders had picked up the real psyche of the colonial power. They could not save the transgender community from desolation and deprivation but accepted them as a third gender in their circles. The colonial psyche prevails in India even nowadays, and many conservative leaders oppose the Hijra rights in India and even in Pakistan. The subaltern minds are still captivated by the new colonial power, and that is Hindu Extremist rule in India. The Hijras had no special or mentionable place in the Hindu Mythology. This is what Roy is her novel under discussion mourns of.

Theresa May – British Prime Minister Apologized about Colonial Black Laws

        Recently, we have heard and read British Prime Minister “Theresa May” taking a big setup to recognize and to put an apology in front of the former colonial states where the British ruled. She has admitted that British colonial rule had left many marks of marginalization and producing so many subaltern communities due to the black laws that were implemented in South East Asia, Middle Eastern and African countries under the British Empire. She has proved to be a civil enough to understand and speak about the strange and discrimination based laws like the CTC in Sub-continent.

        Well! Nothing can change the course of history but a recognition of a prime and measures to protect the world from further damages is a positive mindset. Not, it is time for the local rulers of India, to recognize that they could not follow suit the wrong legacy of the foreign powers that ruled over them, and keep such large number of Indian society out of bound for the sake of difference of languages, castes, faith, gender identities, and economic factors. The current Indian elections have not proved to be a sign of progress and change of subaltern mindset.

       As in the words of Arundhati Roy “Making another Hindu Colony is the aim of the ruling party and its alliances”. People like hers are ray of hope to continue to struggle for the rights of people like Anjum, Tilo, Sadam Hussain, Musa Yeswi, Revathy, Udaya aka Miss Jabeen, Msulims of India, People fo Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, and many more like them. Otherwise, things seem to be moving towards the older concept renewed by BJPs past five year rule, and their agenda to make India “Pavittar”, by converting it into Hindu India. Rashtriya Savek Sangh’s Ideology (the ancestor and sister organization of Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in India). 

Pakistani Nation is Observing APS Terrorism Attacks’ First Anniversary!

16 December 2014: A landmark and a bloodshed that jerked each soul in Pakistan and and even in all sensitive parts of the globe. Army Public School – Peshawar kids were brutally massacred by terrorists with gunshots along with their principle and teachers after holding hostages for hours. It seemed like the minutes and hours were turned into centuries. Everybody was praying for safe recovery of school kids and teachers while mothers and fathers of hostage students were in panic and crying. Why the world could not stand still when it was happening. 

All efforts in vain though there were more than thousand students in Army Public School of Peshawar. But the enemies of nation, innocence and in fact humanity succeeded in killing around 200 APS boys of different classes. The principal’s head was cut off in front of school kids, and a teacher was directly shot for trying to rescue her students. It is just a matter of fact that the whole nation was breathless and tearful. We mourned and tearful for days ahead but not Broken at All. 

Pakistan has faced many critical situations right from its birth. Having seen the death of Quaid e Azam Muhammd Ali Jinnah right within one year was an irreparable loss. Then we had lost Kashmir, Junagarh, Manadar and parts of Bengal and Punjab due to Congress-British conspiracy. Pakistani nation faced the split of Pakistan into two separate states, and Bangladesh was created on the same day means 16^th December, 1971. Our enemies deliberately selected the same day for a soul pulling incident of Army Public School. They thought that people of Pakistan will lose its collective nerves. People will stop sending their kids to schools, colleges and universities.

Our enemy is clearly visible and the one who does not want stability, peace and order in our country. We have enemies across borders. Both Indian and Afghan governments play a terrorist role in destabilizing Pakistan. But they are not sole agents in this conspiracy as there is a bigger level agenda. Top stop Pakistan from leading Muslim world to a direction of freedom and redefining new paradigms of super powers, and to be able to preserve the natural reservoirs that Pakistan and rest of Muslim world keeps in. 

But it all failed and instead of weakening us, enemies have made us One Nation and One Theory again. Recent killings and horrific incidents in India against Muslims have shut the mouths of all Pakistan-India friendship advocates. Now there is clear war and our forces along with nation is all set ready for it. We are not going to let APS Incident as another act of terrorism but a way to move on. To end the root cause of terrorism in our country.

We salute the “Martyrs of APS – Peshawar” and their families who are more than willing to fight in this battle against unseen but giant sized monster. Our nation is more unified and going to never compromise on our freedom and Martyrdom is inside our nation’s blood and bones. ALLAH Almighty is with us and we will win this long and nerve hacking battle…In Sha ALLAH….

True Love Needs No Parameters of Expression!

 

Love and Human Psyche

It might be my own perception but I like it that way, and I am convinced that true love exists right here in this world. People do fall in love for other persons and it requires no specifications. How we define LOVE is something that needs to be discussed. Some people think that a quantity of time spent together is a parameter of true love while others believe in quality of it!

How to Define Love in Different Perspectives!

So it is hot debate among different races in ancient times, and a subject matter of literature in medieval age, and it is a far Complex Issue in Modern Times. We are not certain of what we really mean by loving someone. Here I am referring to ‘Romantic Love’ but I am not forgetting the importance of Love and Compassion for different blood relations, friends and for nature as well!

What Kind of People Fall in Love for General Humanity and for What Reasons!

People do fall in love at a broader spectrum and they do not bind themselves with only a single expression, and to devote their love for only one human being. Look at the example of “Mother Teresa” who left her life of conveniences, and devoted herself to serve the underprivileged people of India. Did she put all efforts for personal recognition or for wining some award like ‘Nobel Prize’? No! It happened out of a true emotional love for humanity and for seeing people in better conditions of life.

Why People Sacrifice their Comforts for the Love and Freedom of their Nations?

Here I would like to mention about “Muhammad Ali Jinnah” whom the citizens of Pakistan call “Father of the Nation”. He literally devoted his whole life for the sake of independence and freedom of his countrymen, and to let a separate homeland for Muslim of Sub Continent, to live in peace and practice their basic principles of Islam in a best manner. Why he did all this as he was a successful lawyer and a rich man? He enjoyed all luxuries of his time, and what made him stand out of crowd to and decide to devote his life for others!

What is the Motivational Factor of Love of Nation to Fight for a Cause?

It is just too phenomenal with some people that they Love to find PEACE and Comfort for others, and they go beyond imagination to make personal sacrifices for others. Here you can look at the life of “Nelson Mandela” who devoted 27 years in prison, to let black people of South Africa have their right of equality, and a right to live like rest of human beings of the world. Would you say that he was crazy? No he was not but in fact more practical than living in dreams like others of a seen or unseen beloved!!

What is the Reality of Divine Love and Spiritual Elevation!

On a further level of discussion we can look at the lives of those Spiritual Leaders who left all worldly leisure and pleasures for seeking Divine Love. They were not insane but they wanted to escape from the limited mind frame that only wanted to get material gains, and to fall for lust in order to gain Love kind of thing. Their love for Nature and God Almighty was and still is all pure, and it is beyond any expectations and gains for this world.

So I would love to conclude my hypothesis that there are no set standards and parameters of love. So there were and right at this moment there exist people who fall in multifaceted kinds of love. This will keep on happening, and eventually link to the Universe, to find true meaning of Human Existence and to go in search of pure and deep-rooted love for sure!!

Spiritual Awakening that Comes with the Fear of Trial in Afterlife!

 

Spiritual Awakening and Motivation for Success

I don’t know as if you believe in any religion or you have any concept of Life after Death. But I want to share my inner feelings and thoughts with you. I am Muslim and I have firm belief on Afterlife and the trial for good and anything bad that we have done. If we have broken the rules which ALLAH Almighty has set for us or we have given immense Pain and Sufferings to Mankind, in any form. It will not undergo as part and parcel of this mortal life. 

This thoughts gives me and other Muslims a higher level of e patience than the people who are in continuous state of depression if they are not given justice in this soon to be ended life! I feel everyone who is a believer in “Omnipresent God” with a Will to Punish the wrongdoers, and the rewards for the people who have done something good are much more at ease. For the matter of fact, the issues and difficulties that we face in life are our tests and trials, and we will be rewarded if we show patience. So life on this Planet Earth is not meaningless, and we are not going to the part of nitrogen in this soil after Death.

Our mortal bodies will definitely be buried and part of the soil but our SOULS will depart for Eternity, and for Heaven and Peace. Sometimes, people get a flash of light to open their Inner Eye or in other words there is a Spiritual Awakening that is associated with certain agonies of LIFE. If we believe and pray for well then it will eventually come to us as the darkest hours are just before the light at dawn. So we need to remain all Optimistic and Motivated to fight with negative and evil thoughts within, and to keep complete faith on good times to come!

Now I can say that we Pakistani Citizens are facing that time for TRIAL and we have faced many facets of agony, pain, misery and sufferings. It might be on the name of terrorism, politics, linguistics, sectarianism, and at the continuous danger alarms from an existent enemy like India. But it is our test and trail, and there is no need to be demotivated, pessimistic and fearful as we know ALLAH Almighty is Watching us, and He will reward us with bountiful future only if we stay patient and pray to Him!

Life is all about a catch of an opportunity to be rich and famous, and to be at a highest point of Success. But we will leave everything here and our assets for afterlife would be our deeds. If we prove to be strong in faith, and work with unity then our all enemies will be defeated in their prospect of weakening or splitting the State of PAKISTAN. So it is a hard time but it will pass, and we have even seen worst case scenarios in past, and our faith and optimism has kept us all alive. This is something that has arisen the weirdness in the mind-set of our enemies. 

But in a way I can see that each incident gives us a Soulful Insight to look for our mistakes, and to fight the battle of duality inside our hearts, minds and souls. We have awakened outwardly and spiritually, and it has removed the peace from our all-time enemy’s mind and souls as well! Now it is time to be united and search for the hidden and exposed enemies, and the paid agents inside the society of Pakistan. Let’s do it from this time onwards and Salute to All Martyrs of the Nation and Islam!!

My Soul is Weeping for Lost Flowers!

Hope for Good Days to Come Soon

I don’t know how I can express my grief and sorrow for the lost lives of school children at Peshawar in Pakistan. It is a coward act of terrorism where innocent children were targeted for the sake of creating a panic in a country. It is not a normal act of terrorism but a truly one sided approach to dishonor the integrity of a free nation, and at the same time hitting a sensitive area in the hearts and souls of all sane persons, not only of “Pakistan” but all around the Globe.

When we talk about Humanity and Integrity of Individual Lives, and to protect our upcoming generation and our kids from dangers of war, terrorism, poverty and hunger. Children are pure souls and we see them like flowers, and that is common human psyche everywhere. Then we are left with little excuse as how we can remain indifferent to such a big incident in any part of world. The whole world community must be united to raise its voice, and to see it as an act of brutality on small souls!

How can you and I be so indifferent and remain aloof of the situation that is alarming and distracting. I have lost a “Little Faith on Humanity” as who is such a cruel person to hit direct bullets on the faces and bodies of Fragile Children. But soon I realize the scenario of “Palestine or Gaza” where children were killed brutally in carpet bombardment by Israeli forces, and not a single country and so called Human Rights Activists raised their voices. 

So the case of brutal murder of school children in the city of “Peshawar of Pakistan” would remain insignificant to the world community. Here it is important to understand that 16^th December is a bitter day in the History of Pakistan when its eastern part named as East Pakistan was separated by conspiracies and war by India, that part is now known as “Bangladesh”. So it is not a coincidence that "India" being still the number one Enemy of Pakistan can be behind this act of most barbarous terrorism!

The tests and turmoil in the lives of nations are very important and some incidents unite the segregated parts of society. It is a time to re-think about Pakistan as a One Nation. So you need to be all focused to find your unified enemy, and to crush the enemy’s agenda to divide and create chaos not only in single life but in the lives of hundreds of families. 

So it is really very important to condole with the grieving families but at the same time, feeling a sense of responsibility towards finding ways to a single enemy. It is a time that each Pakistani should realize that they are not separate but can only win their integrity and true freedom as a united family. So do not expect anything from others and from insensitive world but fight a battle within your souls, to stick to True Teachings of Islam, and to live in harmony and with bravery to get the heart out of the body of all kinds of enemies!!
