Is a Liberal Woman meant for Love Lurkers?

Ravita Meghwa, a 16 year old girl and daughter of a Pakistani Hindu Sataram Das Meghwar has been converted and married off to Syed Nawaz Ali Shah without the consent or knowledge of her parents. Parents say that their daughter is kidnapped from her village near Nagarparkar Town on June 6th. Haqu, mother of Ravita, insisted that her daughter was kidnapped by the influential Syed community, forcibly converted and then married. She has been named as Gulnaz after conversion to Islam. Shah is 36year old. and the marriage is conducted in registrar office in union council Gulzar Khalil in Samaro of Umerkot district of Karachi.  Marrying of girls under 18 is a punishable offence under the Sindh Child Marriages Restraint Act, 2013. The registrar had mentioned Shahs year of birth (1980) and the national identity card number on the marriage certificate. But, the registrar mentions only the age of the girl  as 18 years without mentioning the date of birth during marriage and national identity card (NIC) number mentioning her age/DOB.  Similarly, the certificate of conversion to Islam did not mention her NIC number but mentioned her age as 18 years. An FIR has been registered (in second week of June) at the Dano Dandhal police station in Nangarparkar taluka and a case has been filed in Sindh High Court (SHC) through advocate Bhagawandas.

Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat, Ghousia Jamat and Jeelani Jamat and other political outfits of Pakistan  are openly supporting the Muslim husband. Bhagchand Meghwar of PPP-SB (Pakistan People Party - Shahid Bhutto)  and other activists are opposing the forceful conversion of the girl. Various Jamaat activists are on the streets to oppose what they called the propaganda with "blasphemous contents" on social media in the wake of Ravitas conversion to Islam.

The bench headed by Justice Salahuddin Panhwar ordered Mirpurkhas DIG and Tharpakr SSP to produce Ravita on June 22, the day of next hearing. Next case hearing is scheduled for 30th June.

Earlier, Shah and Ravita had filed an application in the SHC seeking protection and accusing the girls parents of issuing death threat. Ravita has appealed to her parents to let her live with her husband happily as, according to her, she had taken the decision to embrace Islam to marry the person of her choice. She requested the people of her community and members of civil society to stop raising the issue further. "I am very satisfied and happy after marrying Nawaz Ali Shah and now I cannot [live] without my husband," she said yesterday and made it clear that she was not kidnapped. "I willingly went with Shah after falling in love with him."  Ravita expressed the hope that the court would do justice with her and allow her to live with her husband.

Not just the girl, her parents, and political supporters are under pressure in Pakistan from Islamic organizations. It is possible that Ravita may depose in the court in favor of her abductors and against her parents.

The pattern of aggression against Hindu girls is same.  Hindu girls, often shortsighted and selfish, become prey to non-Hindu and many times anti-Hindu men. The men need not be unmarried. Non-Hindu man need not be compatible in age, education qualification, appearance and economic levels.  Parents of Non-Hindu man play their role. Encourage their son and exhibit their liberal face  till marriage. During marriage, invariably non-Hindu rituals are followed. Either a contract or a commitment in writing is taken from the Hindu girl contradictory to the oral agreements.  Opposition from the girl relatives to the marriage is circumvented through abductions and elopements.  False imagery of post married life is sustained by the non-Hindu community.  Simultaneously, threats and fear is implanted in the mind  of the Hindu girl about the safety of her parents.  Hindu girl will be misinformed and misled about the developments in her family, in police stations and in courts.  She would be encouraged to depose against her parents before and in the aftermath of marriage.  Some time after the marriage, un-Hindu and many times aDharmik marriage norms are imposed by husband and his family members.  Legal or social structures can not prevent such imposition.  Parents can not come to the rescue of the girl. The Hindu girl either accepts her fate or does not understand that she is exploited. 

Or is it that Hindu girl is happy in a Muslim or Christian home? or Is the love (lust) of a liberal women fulfilled in such surprising scenario?  Is a Liberal Woman meant for Love Lurkers?

Love Lurking - A Semitic Phenomena?

Love lurking refers to feigning love with concealed intentions.  The phenomena is unique to Semitic religions  and prominently manifests in Christianity and Islam.  The evangelical terms for love lurking is either called flirt fishing and love bombing. The Jihadi term for love lurking is known as love jihad.
 
An evangelical organization named Children of God initiated its female members into an evangelical activity named flirty fishing (FFing). In this activity, the missionary organization published several documents with exact instructions to use flirting to convert men of other religions.  Flirty Fishing was defined as using sex appeal for proselytizing. If flirting included masturbation, oral, or penetrative sex, the women was considered as a deep witness drawing more respect among the group was loving sexually for the Gods sake. FFing did not include intercourse, but allowing intercourse was the most efficient method of proselytizing. The activity was started in 1974 officially and ended in 1987 till the fear of AIDS swept the globe.  According to 1988 statistic, more than two and half lakh men were converted through fishing. The offspring from the pregnancies due to FFing are called as Jesus babies. Presently, the organization is named as Family international. 

Members of the Unification Church of the United States coined a term called Love bombing in an attempt to influence a person by demonstrations of attention and affection. Typically the love is feigned and the practice is psychological manipulation in order to create a feeling of unity within the group against a society perceived as hostile.

Jihadi Muslims across the globe are initiating systematic sustained violence to annihilate non-Muslim men and appropriate non-Muslim women and children. Celibacy is not recommended and multiple marriages are allowed in Islam. When the Muslims are in minority and when the Islamic rule is not present, Jihadi approach replaces the violence completely or partially by Love lurking termed as Love Jihad by affected Christians.

In Love Jihad, Jihadi Muslim community encourages the Muslim boys to pursue non-Muslim girls. Not restricted by celibate rules of the religion, Muslim boys pursue non-Muslim girls diligently and freely.  Non-Muslim girls lean more towards attention paying Muslim boys in comparison to reserved boys from their own community.  Muslim boys pursues the girls till the marriage and then initiates the conversion to Islam with near 100% success.

Is Pooja Bhatt supporting noise pollution?

Why Pooja Bhatt is supporting disturbance due to loud Muslim prayers, which was opposed by Sonu Nigam? 

It is a well known fact that loud Muslim prayers multiple times every day through horn loud speakers is distrubing neighborhood residents everywhere.  Such use of horn loudspeakers is illegal too.  Sonu Nigam is neither the first person who is complaining not the last person who will complain this public nuisance. In fact, many courts across the country have passed judgements to stop noise pollution due to Muslim prayers through horn loud speakers.   But, administration and politicians have failed to implement the court orders.


So, when Sonu Nigam says something about a real issue, Why should Pooja Bhatt support the loudspeaker noise with Church bells and aggarabathi? And relate them to the spirit of India?  Here are some observations and speculations. 




1. Church bells are not as loud as horn loudspeakers. Aggarabathi does not create noise pollution or any other pollution. Pooja Bhat may be becoming emotional for some reason.

2. The spirit of India is not trouble making. Not acknowledge mistakes committed by one group would not contribute towards achieving social harmony as some believe naively. 

3. Pooja Bhatt is daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and Loraine Bright (Kiran Bhatt after marriage). She is separated from her husband Munish Makhija.  Pooja may be taking the issue personally.

4. Sonu Nigam is identifying him self as a non-Muslim. He is a theist. He is forced to wake up by loudspeaker. He is rightly calling this as a forced religiousness prevalent in India. Probably, Sonu Nigam is crossing the political correctness. 

5. Sonu Nigam has sent out three tweets on this topics one after the other. The second tweet categorically disowns temples and gurudwara that creates noise pollution. Still, many are conveniently neglecting the second tweet and creating noise around the first tweet. 

6. It is not easy to articulate clearly against the problem of noise pollution in India. NGOs such as Awaaz, socio-politico-cultural organizations such as RSS, VHP, BJP, Congress, Communists are hesitant to raise this issue.  Sonu Nigam has boldly and correctly articulated the problem faced by vast populations across the country. 

7. Ahmad Patel has understood the problem articulated by Sonu Nigam and responded appropriately in a positve way.

8. While many artists, writers and academicians are voicing their support to Sonu Nigam, many politicians have remained as mute spectators. And Pooja Bhatt has jumped in to create confusion and complicate the problem.
