Re: Should Muslims Celebare Basant Festival?
What is really funny is that the word "jashan" itself is not Islamic. It is derived from the Avestan* yashna which is the same as Sanskrit yagna (meaning pooja). Yet, the brainless government thinks that using authentic Farsi words will give it an Islamic tint. What a bunch of jokers.
- For those who don't know, Avestan is the language of the Zoroastrian (Parsi) scriptures, the religion that existed before Islam in Iran
