Nothing much has changed here then. NYA and prostitution are never seperated for too long. Fascinating post as always. I think Heera Mandi has gained unfair notoriety for it's sex market. There must be similar places in most towns in Pakistan.
NYA, how about a post about the kanjar community? I saw a documentary about kanjars on tv some time back and the dancing girls were just gorgeous. Speaking urdu and very sophisticated. Apparently the kanjar men don't work, but live off the hard-earned wages of their women - which I'm sure you'll approve of.
You do the initial descriptive post, as you will have the inside info and I will give my two cents worth once I've had time to consider it. Let's show this place what it's been missing.

Have you ever heard me pose any judgements against shit-eating Polygamy practicing Molvees?

Yes, quite regularly, as it happens. And why not? Your opinion is as valid as the next guys.
Now...a slight misunderstanding. When I said inside info, I was NOT referring to your family, so apologies for any offense. That's not my style. By inside info I meant you have been in Pakistan for longer than I have so you will have more knowledge.
I am disappointed that you don't know more about the Kanjar community...I feel almost let down. Still, I'll take your word for it and throw it open to the general public.

if Kangars don’t contribute economically in their household, it doesn’t make it right for me to pose value judgements on them.

This is the age of free speech mere yaar. Everything's up for judgement, whether it's runaway husbands, terrorist bombings or renting out your missus to earn an honest living. Get with the programme bro.
