Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

MADDNESSS I asked you! now where is my answer???

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

These terms define a trade based caste system (social grouping) prevalent in the entertainment sector of the Indian subcontinent among Muslims of north India. Mirasi is a caste of Musicians, and Kanjar is a caste of Dancers (however, the managing agents – non-dancers; e.g., brothers, other sisters, parents, etc.- of the dancers are also part of Kanjar Biradri (or kinship).

There is a tendency among the ignorant that Kanjar or Mirasi makes a subtle insulting way to address someone, but you ask a Kanjar or a Mirasi, they are proud to be Kanjar or Mirasi. Just as Blacks don’t take an offense to being called Blacks, and I consider it a compliment when people call me Mirzai. I am proud to be one.

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

oh............ this is a news to me. i also thought these were bad words. this is so surprising but where is this community now? do they still exist? (in reality) or were they there in the old times and now these terms have come to be understood as bad words (for whatever reasons)

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

sob Zia killed this community. Now they go by a new caste, they refer to themselves as Performing artists.

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

oh yeah and about Mirzai, my dad told me about a friend of his. he told me they were declared non-muslims by GOP?? he told me his friend was a very nice hearted person. i havent met or spoken to him but he gave me his contact number incase i ever need any assistance from him.

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

who Zia? you mean Zia ul haq? how can some kill the whole community? so you mean they existed in pakistan also?

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

If you like, I can eskplane in Arbi too. My Arbi is very good.

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

Madhanee, that's probably the only thing good in you Arabic wise.

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

"Arbi"? that thing you cook with bayngans? but my arbi is very poor. and why would you want to eskplane in arbi bayngan?

Re: Mirasi vs Kanjar

i was thinking about this thread yesterday and i was wondering… i love to sing and sing and sometimes i love to dance… does that make me a Mirasi and Kanjar :expressionless: ???
