This is a progressive step for complete Womens' Emancipation ( see my blog ' On Womens Emancipation ' on justicekatju.blogspot.in ), and I welcome it.
The idiots who want to keep Muslim women backward and under a burqa deserve to be condemned as feudal relics. Feudal thinking and feudal customs like burqa have to be combated by all patriotic , modern minded people of all communities, and rooted out totally if India is to progress.
Muslim youth, particularly, should openly come out and condemn burqa and oral talaq, which keep the whole Muslim community in India ( and Pakistan and Bangladesh ) backward
We must follow the example of the great Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in this connection and ruthlessly strike down all backward customs and practices.
STOP PRESS:
ReplyDeleteThe 7th Muslim king of Kashmir , Sikandar Butshikan , was the most cruel of all the Muslim rulers who invaded India.
He was the the second Sultan of the Swati Afghan Shah Miri dynasty of Kashmir 1389–1413 AD. His cousins were ruling Afghanistan and the Western part of Pakistan.
They had been ruling Kabul lagmant and Swat in 1190–1520, and are known as Jahangiri dynasty in history.
It took his sikandar butshikan’s soldiers 13 months to destroy the glorious 3100 year old Marthanda Sun Temple of Kashmir--such was its amazing strength with huge interlocking stones..
SIKANDAR BUTSHIKANs TACTICS WERE SIMPLE—HE WOULD CATCH KASHMIRI HINDUS –CONVERT OR DIE .
IF YOU RESIST- YOU ARE BEHEADED AFTER YOU ARE MADE TO WATCH ISLAMIC SOLDIERS RAPE THE DEAD BODIES OF THEIR WIVE AND DAUGHTERS.
IF YOU AGREE TO CONVERT - YOUR PENIS FORESKIN WAS CHOPPED OFF WITH A CRUDE KNIFE , AND A PIECE OF STEAMED BEEF THRUST INTO YOUR MOUTH FOR YOU TO SWALLOW – OR DIE.
THESE HINDUS WERE CRYING IN SHAME AND HUMILIATION.
TODAY THE DESCENDANTS OF THESE KASHMIRI HINDUS ARE RABIDLY ANTI-HINDU.
There are some hindu Kashmiri pundits only in name – who criticize hindus everyday , praise Muslims for no reason – they love Arabian perfume , love Sufis , and go and sit in darghas for mental solace .
we know who they are.
This cruel Muslim king sikandar butshikan authorised his soldiers to rape dead Hindu women who took poison to escape capture.
He had already banned all Hindus in Kashmir from cremating their dead bodies.
He banned dance, drama, music and iconography as aesthetic activities of the Hindus and fiated them as heretical and un-Islamic.
He forbade the Hindus to apply a tilak mark on their foreheads. He did not permit them to pray and worship, blow a conch shell or toll a bell.
A heavy Jizya (tax) equal to 4 tolas of silver was imposed on the Hindus.
All temples were destroyed . A huge tax was imposed on Hindus . If a Hindu was caught in a Muslim dress to escape capture, he would be tortured most severely.
As has happened time and again in Indian History it was a Sufi saint Sayyid Mir Ali Hamdani , along with 700 Sayyids, his followers , who came to Kashmir in 1393 and drove a wide and deep wedge between the majority Hindus and minority Muslims.
And as usual these Sufi saints do propaganda that they were told to do all this by Allah himself at Mecca.
The Muslim king Sultan Qutubudin was under his spell and he ordered him to impose the following sanctions on non-Muslims,as per Allah’s will :
The Hindus will not construct any new temples under the rule of Muslims.
They will not repair old temples fallen into ruins.
They will respect Muslims.
They will not carry swords or bows and arrows.
If any relation of theirs wants to embrace Islam, they will not oppose it.
They will receive Muslim travelers into their houses & provide them hospitality.
They will not prevent Muslim travelers from staying in their temples & shrines.
They will not mourn their dead loudly.
They will not build houses in neighbourhood of Muslims.
They will not carry their dead near the grave-yards of Muslims.
They will not openly practice their customs and usages among Muslims.
They will not give up their traditional dress so that they can be distinguished from Muslims.
CONTINUED TO 2-
But it was this Sufi saint Sayyid Mir Ali Hamadani's son Mir Mohammed Hamdani , who worked with the cruel Sikandar Butshikan, to enforce these fiats and more to make life traumatic for the Kashmiri Pandits.
DeleteHis heart filled with bigotry and hate, Sayyid Mir Ali Hamdani son, openly preached extermination of Hindu religion from the soil of the Kashmir so that Islam may flourish and get unshakably entrenched in their place, as per Allah’s decree.
Their sacred Hindu books were thrown into the Dal Lake by Sikandar Butshikan .
The Pandits numbering over one lakh ( 100 000 ) were drowned in the Dal Lake by holding their heads underwater and then they were burned in a heap at a spot in the vicinity of Rainawari in Srinagar City known as Bhatta Mazar beyond present day Jogilanker.
The waters of the placid Dal Lake holds all these morbid memories.-water holds memory.
This is the reason why tourists after boating at Srinagar Dal Lake get sleepless nights and nightmares.
