Meet Samina, one of the two sisters from Bombay who are being threatened by their neighbors for attending college.They have been given police protection. It is atrocious that such things go on at the heart of Bombay. It may be noted that Sania Mirza also had to face a lot of ire from community leaders for indulging in sports activities and for wearing sports attire. However, her problems pale in comparison to what these girls are up against.Samina Shaikh (19) and Zarina Shaikh (18), who study at St Xavier’s College and the Maharashtra College, moved the court for police protection after they were "terrorised and threatened".
The sisters allege their neighbour Mohammad Ali Nisar Ansari assaulted their parents and brother on May 11. Ansari allegedly asked the sisters’ father Yasheen Sheikh not to send them to college.
Ansari and other men in their locality believe that "only girls with bad character go to college" and did not want sisters to study after school. The family was told that Islam does not “permit” girls to study.
"They threatened me and abused my family. They beat up my father and brother so badly that there was blood all over the floor," says Samina. [link]
It is quite clear that all round economic development which can only be brought about by freeing the country from the clutches of socialists will enable girls like Samina to escape the wrath of folks who mentally live in the middle ages. Unfortunately the socialists will befriend the tormenters rather than the girls, because they will bring in the votes.
I wish these girls well.

At the outset,
I too wish these girls well. I am at a loss to describe my reaction to such saddening representation of discrimination against girls in a relatively progressed society like Mumbai...certainly is an indicator of deeply firmed social ill, inhumanity and regressive tendencies as nurtured by a religion
well written post. I could see significant change in the way you are blogging these days....:))))))

Well, our socialists friends have yet to acknowledge this news. Was on "dcubed" - the desi cyber messiaha of oppressed and even he's romped off to Sri Lanka something ingoring this in his own Mumbai.
Index finger got tired hitting F5-Refresh every couple seconds in anticipation of "dcubed" commenting on this. Then switched to middle finger ;)
Here's one more, posting it here since such new items don't make it on "dcubed"'s website
From Nizhal Yodha's site:
mohdan youth marries ex-step-mother in haryana; 'rape!' say mullahs
This is hilarious:
1. mohammedan man marries new wife, possibly for the nth time
2. new wife may be considerably younger than man, possibly close to
son (22) in age, as mohammedan men tend to marry women often much
younger than them, around 15-19 being a popular age (quite scientific
actually: women are most fertile in their teens and early 20s)
3. new wife and son become chummy; no evidence of hanky-panky so far as is known
4. man talaqs and divorces new wife (for unknown reasons)
5. new wife leaves man's home, and is now ex-wife, and thus
ex-stepmother (i conjecture that she was kicked out of the man's home,
isn't that what happens to talaqed wives?)
6. son runs off and marries ex-stepmother (as conjectured above, she
is probably close to his age)
7. mullahs claim #6 is rape
'First access to muslims' I say. Long live Manmohan Singh.
Viva la secular progressive socialists "reporters" like 'dcubed' and 'Vij'.
Someone, please buy them a mirror
