An encounter with Peshawari Borkha (veil)

January 14, 2012

Peshawar is a city that lacks diverse cultures. It has only one and that is of Pathans. Recently, while paying a visit to Peshawar’s famous shopping center, I had an encounter with a lady who was wearing the local and traditional Topi Burkha which is the local veil for women here. But before I mention more about that encounter, I would like to mention few basic and important cultural principals of the society.

Here in Peshawar, women go to shopping a lot and most of them are Pathans. Infact the Pathans themselves have two vast divisions. One is the modern and upper class of Pathan families and trust e you will find all the style and grace in them and on the other hand we have the Topi Burkha Pathan women who mostly belong to the working and Labour class. The following encounter was certainly with the second kind of Pathan woman. I am also sharing photos to Topi Burkha for those who have not seen it.

Anyway, I was in Shafi Market of Saddar Bazar which is the most famous shopping center for ladies clothes in Peshawar. While coming out of a shop this Topi Burkha woman, due to her get up (as she could not see in her three directions because the Topi Burkha has a small net in front of the eyes and is cover the body from all other sides making it impossible to see around and therefore many women also face accidents on roads while crossing roads wearing this veil) she crashed with me. Her mother suddenly said in Pashto, “Do not touch with this woman as they often have bombs”. The statement made me smile and while I was trying to figure out how to respond, my fellow who was accompany me said, “We are wearing Dupattas and we cannot hide anything, it is you people who hide bombs under your Burkhas”.

Certainly, my fellows answer was logical but this made me think about the conspiracy and mindset of our people. Peshawar that has been famous for its hospitality for guests today is making people look at each other with suspicions. We are suspicious on everyone that acts in a bit different way or looks different than us. The modern class is told that it is the lower class, who is given money to conduct the bomb blast and the lower class is told their versions that the upper class kills so they can have all the money.

What should we change in Peshawar? The get-up of people or international mindset???

January 13, 2012

It’s been a while that I had stopped writing for my blog. The reasons vary and one of them is that I was not actually getting something that would and should have an impact. Anyway, now that I am back, I do have found a reason — a reason that certainly has a meaning and purpose to serve.

Is Peshawar the most Dangerous Place on Earth to Visit?

Since sometime we have been hearing a lot about Peshawar as one of the most dangerous places in the world to visit. If that is so, how actually the city is a capital of a province? How is it having a campus like that of University of Peshawar? How students go to schools and colleges every day? How is there so much of business going on?

May be many of you would think and believe that it is not having any of it. But trust me, being a local resident of the city (Peshawar) I can assure you that it has it all. And above all this, it is a city that has a culture that many do not have. No doubt every place has some issues so is Peshawar having some.

But today, I am not about to talk about the issues here. I am going to mention how people of Peshawar in general and students in particular handle the issues which most of you cannot believe.

Is it the security situation of Peshawar making it dangerous or is it the local’s dress?

First, and foremost is the security of Peshawar. Most of us see Peshawar as a place where you will see Taliban everywhere. But it is not that. The international media has pictured Pathan’s getup as that of Taliban, so whenever we see someone in local dress of Pathan’s we start thinking that the guy is a Talib. This is one reason you see Taliban in Peshawar everywhere. Moreover, it is important to mention here that the location of Peshawar is such that it has many tribal areas attached to its surroundings, which means more of people that are less educated come to Peshawar on daily basis that too look more closely like Taliban because of their traditional make overs.

So for me it is the dress and make over of people that gives an international impression that Peshawar is a place where terrorists are roaming around open. What makes the fact funny is that Peshawar is one of those cities and places on earth that is having the most number of check posts in the city so there are least chances of Terrorists moving so openly. Moreover, you cannot ignore the fact the Peshawar is having the least number of road crimes that include car and mobile thefts.

If you visit Peshawar early in the morning you will be amazed to see a tremendous number of students going to schools and colleges everyday. I will be posting photos of students going to schools and colleges in Peshawar shortly as well. So do these pictures give any reason to call it ugly and dangerous place?
Again I want to mention here that problems and issues are everywhere but trust me people in Peshawar are having beautiful family systems which Western world has lost because of various reasons.

Hundreds and hundreds of people, which includes women along with youngsters, united going for Pakistani- cricketer that turned politician Imran Khan at this point nowadays, thus presenting his party being a growing power within the national politics.

Imran’s “Tsunami” move cleared Pakistan’s largest city since around 100, 000 persons gathered close to the mausoleum associated with Pakistan’s founding innovator Mohammad Ali Jinnah to listen him promise a fresh starting for the nation that in the event that his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, arrived at strength within the next elections.

“I promise to liberate this nation of dishonesty, fraud and inequality and also to enable it to be a really Islamic well being nation the same as the Quaid-e-Azam imagined for the state, ” he thundered with the crowd, referred to as a larger move compared to one organized within Lahore on October.

The actual Pakistani cricket star has been extensively applauded as well as provided a ranking enthusiastic response the moment he came into the location belonging to the rally, within the middle of the nation’s economic centre.

Then when he ultimately speech approximately 9 p. m, there seemed to be pin drop peaceful atmosphere since the whole crowd with men, women, girls, youngsters, kids as well as handicapped persons, applauded him every time he made a powerful issue.

The occurrence associated with a lot of ladies and youngsters pointed out that Imran have been prosperous for contacting individuals within the Pakistani culture. These pakistanis definitely are in no way worried in order to throw ballots or even consider politicians significantly. It absolutely was simply most significant politics pubic gathering arranged within the city within the last 20 years, complimenting those organized by Matthias Qaumi Movement since the contributors managed to get distinct they needed improvement as well as transformation throughout Pakistan.

Imran Khan guaranteed the fact that PTI would certainly established a process regarding proper rights just after arriving into strength. “We will certainly develop a new federal government composed of young people. ”

Future historians will certainly discuss 2012 being a transforming stage regarding Pakistan.

It might happen to be more effective in the event the civilians have categorized out this clutter concerning themselves devoid of bending about the army intended for assistance.

I think PTI is decided to give a reputable new management that may reestablish Pakistan’s political as well as financial sovereignty by developing a new relationship involving confidence amongst the authorities and the individuals. Just with the energetic contribution from the individuals we can jointly organize our individual and product assets in order to move forward on the path to a confident and independent country.

Human Rights and U. N. Covenant

December 18, 2011

Human rights are “generally perceived as inalienable basic privileges to which an individual is inherently eligible considering she or he is actually a human being.”

Human rights tend to be therefore conceptualized as general (suitable all over) as well as egalitarian (the equivalent for every individual). These rights may appear to be like natural privileges or as protection under the law or legal rights, within at the same time national as well as international legislation.

Universal human rights in many cases are depicted and assured legally, in the form of treaties, traditional international law, basic rules and also other reasons for worldwide law. World-wide human rights legislation sets down responsibilities associated with Governing bodies to act in some strategies as well as to avoid specific actions, in an effort to improve and safeguard human rights as well as essential freedoms of people or organizations.

The very first aim to produce a complete record regarding human rights appeared to be stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (the UDHR). The UDHR identifies the basic privileges of all people, such as the right to existence; freedom from captivity, torture and irrelevant arrest; independence regarding thought, viewpoint as well as religious beliefs; the right towards a sensible test and equality before the law; the right to work and get education and learning; and also the right to get involved in the public, political as well as social life of one’s nation.

The UDHR contains three forms of rights:

• Civil and political rights are often listed in a negative form (‘freedom from’) rather than positive form (‘rights to’). They make an effort to protect the individual, by itself and in collaboration with other people, resistant to the improper use of political authority.

• Financial, ethnic and cultural privileges necessitate government authorities to assist their citizens in order to get involved completely in community, including the right to do the job and to get education and learning. They are ‘positive’ instead of ‘negative’.

• Solidarity liberties reveal the introduction of developing countries and they require international redistribution regarding power and wealth. The rights range from the right to political, social as well as cultural self-determination and the right to financial and societal advancement.

Both Rights and Obligations:

Human rights include simultaneously liberties and responsibilities. State governments consider responsibilities and duties within international law in order to value, to safeguard and to fulfill human privileges. The responsibility to respect ensures that State governments needs to stay away from interfering or limiting the entertainment of human rights. The responsibility to safeguard demands States to guard people and groupings in opposition to human rights violations. The actual responsibility to carry out suggests that State governments must consider constructive action to assist in the pleasure regarding fundamental human rights. At the individual stage, while we’re titled our human rights, we must also respect the human rights of other people.

Shortest and Darkest Day but not the coldest

December 15, 2011

Winter creates at the same time pleasure, enjoyment and woe. A number of people find it difficult to watch for the colder weather conditions, snowfall, skiing and ice skating, curling up by a fire, and the vacation spirit. While some others don’t like the freezing temperature ranges, blizzards, and outrageous climatic conditions.

The term solstice originates from the Latin terms “sun” and “to stop, because of the fact that the Sun appears to stay in the sky. The Sun is without a doubt straight above the head on “high-noon” in Winter Solstice from the latitude identified as the Tropic of Capricorn. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the solstice days are definitely the days having minimum hours regarding sun rays over the whole year.

There exist a time delay between the shortest day of the year and the lowest average daily temperature of the year. The winter solstice is the smallest day time in the year-the moment as soon as the Sun actually gets to its southernmost position within the sky. Despite the fact that this specific area of World is chilling, its amazing heat mass continue to holds a lot of warmth through the summer season and fall season. For the reason that progressive chilling approach proceeds within the following two months, temperature ranges will probably go on to drop, and the coldest conditions will be noted down. Exactly the same routine is valid for the summer solstice within June, since the year’s maximum temperatures are usually noted afterwards, throughout July as well as August.

Building Stonehenge to celebrate the winter solstice is one concept. Those who seem to construct the truly great monument were being most likely farmers, and in addition they would have chosen Stonehenge in order to commemorate the most crucial celebration of the year hence the guarantee of the coming back of the growing season. The priests, or perhaps shamans, in the course of the constructing regarding Stonehenge would have called the city management collectively in order to commemorate hence indicate the ongoing period of the seasons and the belief that people were not really proceeding straight into an unlimited night.

The winter solstice represents the smallest day along with the longest night of 12 months. The sun appears to be on its lowest position in the sky, and its particular noontime height seems to be exactly the same for many days just before and following the solstice. Consequently the foundation of the term solstice, that originates from Latina “solstitium”. After the winter season solstice, the days start to expand longer and the nights shorter.
Throughout the winter solstice the sun comes nearer to the horizon as compared to from some other period over the 12 months, containing the smallest amount of sunlight each year. Relating to the bright aspect, the day following the winter season solstice symbolizes the start of lengthening days hence leading up to the summer solstice.

The solstices happen two times annually (approximately December 21 and June 21), due to the fact Globe is actually bent by means of an average of 23. 5 degrees because it orbits the sun-the exact same occurrence that forces the seasons.
Note the fact that the winter season solstice is actually the darkest day of the 12 months, it isn’t really the coldest.

Considering that the seas generally absorb heat much slowly as well as cold, therefore in December they even maintain certain warmness because of summer season, slowing the winter season for an additional month and a half. In the same manner, summer season is not going to reach its temperature maximum till August, a month or two following the summer solstice.
Several present day pagans make an effort to take notice of the solstice in the conventional method of the ancients. They are certainly not exclusively in commemorating the winter solstice nowadays.

In many different U. S. locations a Watertown, Massachusetts-based generation hence known as The Christmas Revels respects the winter solstice having yearly modifying menu regarding conventional music and dance right from all over the world.
