Why are these self styled soldiers of Islam against basant; because it is religiously anti religious and results in accidents, not totally attributable to it. I say accidents also occur in kankar play with the satans at mecca which is also a continuance of a pagan ritual. Why don`t they stop that or if they are seriously ani-satan , to use an atom bomb to destroy the satans once for all insted of destroying innocent human beings with it. This will be the greatest service to humanity. With the destruction of the satan all evil will be destryoed and the world would become a heaven, where no `Yazeed` would ask you to submit a `halafnama` about your faith to declare allegiance to his religiously despotic system. These mullas are the continuance of those who had passed an edict against the grandson of the prophet delaring him an out cast from islam. Lahnat he in par.

everybody here actually seems to have lost it completely. basnt is ia harmless festival. it has nothing to do with hindus and/or muslims. ppl started celebrating basant back in the days wen agriculture was the big profession and sarson plants gave their beautiful yellow flowers . its an agricultural festival . how it got associated with kites i have no idea... but thats the reason yellow colour and the song and dancing is associated with it.... so geta life!

Dear gujju aka shamsul...

I think we know enough to know how IP addresses are tampered with ... besides each computer in a computer lab might have different IPs... so let us not try to be over clever ok?

Now back to your slip... `tauheed chachu!`

By the way... the number 1 spot for the cultural renaissance in Pakistan is the famous `Hindu Gymkhana` of Karachi.... now that is a place that Dost Mittar definitely needs to visit.

I think we know very clearly from the style of writing that this shamsul character is none other than Gujjubania... this is `evidenced` especially in the usage of the phrase `tauheed chachu` which gujjubania often uses.

Chavarka

Its not that Shams ul Islam is not a Pakistani name... but no Pakistani uses Shamsul as a first name... if a Pakistani`s name is Shams ul-Islam... his first name will be Shams... this adding ul business is totally Bangladeshi...

Example is Inzimam ul Haq ... he is not called `Inzimamul`... he is called Inzimam ...

Tahmed is right in pointing out that something is amiss... though we find many people with the kind of ideology this `Shamsul` character has... one thing I don`t understand is that I have never met a Madrassah graduate who can write full sentences in English so how is this Sabzi Mandi wallah doing s well.
