Adil Najam

Sometimes you put up a picture just because its a nice picture and it makes you feel good. This is one of those times.

This picture is from ‘Dandia Nite 2006′, organized this Sunday by the Hindu community in Karachi as part of the Diwali celebrations (from Dawn, 30 October, 2006).  Dandia or Dandiya is a traditional dance often performed at Hindu festivals and on religiously significant occasions.

    That’s great Dandia Nite , We hope it may possible to see these type of pictures again about occasion of Diwali! I also want to see with you some people pictures ( if it’s not here on web then just imagine it ) those are in villages and have not money and cloths for these type occasions of Diwali. Just they need food and shelter for their lives. Specially Parkari Kolhi people in Sindh Pakistan.
    Thanks,

    Mr. Kashmiri,

    (Kashmir should be freed Hyderabad’s admins should be givenback to muslims Junagarh and manawader the same.)

    You say that Kashmir should be freed I presume becuase it has a Muslim majority. And at the same time you want Hyd, Junagadh be handed over to the Muslims although they have Hindu majorities!!!

    Anyways keep dreaming, no tax on that.

    Regards
