In his anti-Jinnah item, Ikram (Kami) Butt has tried to defame Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the Great Founder of Pakistan, by falsely claiming that his drink and food were not kosher.

Kami thought or acted like an Indian-Hindu RAW stooge when he wrote his malicious lies against Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the honorable and respectable Father of the Pakistani Nation.

In his e-mail message of 15 May 2008 to the Chief Editor of Pakistan Weekly (USA), which was full of profane, vulgar or obscene expletives, Kami Butt wrote: “Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s favorite dish and drink were pork and whiskey respectively.”

It is a shame that Kami Butt, a so-called Pakistani, has maliciously maligned his own Founding Father without presenting any legal proof.

I appeal to all patriotic and nationalist Pakistanis to oppose, condemn and expose the libelous lies of Kami Butt against Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the legendary and celebrated leader of all Pakistanis and Muslims of South Asia. Defamation of Pakistan Freedom Movement’s national leaders and heros like Mr. Jinnah and Allama Muhammad Iqbal is a major crime in Pakistan. All patriotic Pakistanis should bring Defamer Kami to legal justice.

Sati was a social evil for many years. Raja Ram mohan Roy and Dayanand Saraswati fought against it in the 19th century. It was made a crime due to their efforts since. In independent India, only handful of cases have happened and that too have been tried by the state and widely criticized. If you carefully studied the history of Sati and the fight against it you would see that it was amongst the Brahmins (Roy for example) who took up the fight. The ills that have been included in the society for ages is hard to purge but fight against Sati is a success story.

Same is the case with untouchability. In India, the mess of this crime (it is a crime again as per law) exists in the villages. Despite the fact that feudal system was the first thing to be thrown out by Land Ceiling Act right after independence (an inconvenient action that Pakistan never took and is still paying for it), we still have powerful groups in villages and towns where the Dalits are hurt. In cities and amongst the educated this is not so. In my school for example - we had a special program .. where students from “Weaker Sections” were enrolled (it is one of the top three Private schools in Delhi) and given free education and brought up to speed in a separate class for 2 years after which every one was mingled. There was hardly ever any difference.

So, its nice to bring up all these to remind Indians to fight against such ills relentlessly, but your research is a little weak. You might want to read more than just those videos on youtube to get some credible knowledge of the Indian reality.

Cheers,
