Comment on Journey to Istanbul by sultana Begum

I find it disturbing the connection drawn between women who CHOOSE to cover fully and the lack of Liberation and progresesion in this article. It is almost assuming that woemn who dress less soemhow are more likely to be educated and progressive, and interestingly the article exudes ‘ covered muslim women and beautful woemn isn vests and sungalsses’. Why can’t theose other women be described as muslim? A fact that this article and europe faisl to highlight is that Turkish law regularly descriminates agaisnt women by preventing them from attending university unless they dress less - no Hijab allowed. This forces women to either travel abroad or not attend higher education institutions or compromise on their principles. It’s a sad fact that such narrow secular mentality as often presented by mulsism and non muslims that there is only one kind of liberation in the world is really not in any way different to religious fundamentalism. Both are extreme and should not be tolerated.

Comment on Eating Fish and Sanyasa: Vivekananda’s Travels in Travancore by Geetha

This is an interesting piece especially when you recall that Vivekananda called Kerala a land of lunatics!

But I think the last point is very important. I do think we have a lack of sense of history and we Indians are not good at documenting anything at all. But in India unlike the West, I feel history surrounds us and the residue of the past is always felt in the present.

My guess is loving one’s enemies comes from a general need to question where our inhibitions come from and why-all of which helps us develop a better understanding of ourselves.
