Re: Barri expectations
I don’t know, I have both…although by the weirdness of your answer i’m starting to wonder what life is going to be like my kids, who are half pakistani, half indian. Maybe i’ll teach them to call themselves only Canadian and save them a whole lot of hate from both Indians and Pakistanis. Also, I’m just plain muslim, and that’s what matters to me.
The fact is, Most of the Indian subcontinent was ruled by muslims until the brits came. under muslim rule hindus and sikhs practice their religion, so we learned a thing or two from them, and one of them, like it or not, was the dowry system. The bride burnings in pakistan that Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy highlighted in her documentary are a part of that same patriarchal and tyrannical system. Those who don’t learn their history repeat it.
what i mean by going to our in-laws is that our relationship is going to be in that family, for the most part. As for ugly clothes, well…some people just have bad taste unfortunately…lol.
