I think Muslim men see my dancing as a challenge to them, says Sheema Kermani

[xyxmt]

i didn't bother wasting my download limit on that tableeghi jamaat vid.

so doesn't he say that shaitan will induce you to "honor kill" your children and oppress people in the name of money and "religious values"??

and that fellow is the type that nato recruits in regime-change operations against socialist countries that have a muslim-majority.



ammara choudhry represents herself and not islam, so sheema kermani is doing no mistake... in fact, sheema kermani must be celebrated.

Does Hinduism asks Hindus to defecate in public places?
now make a link between bold parts and my statement and once you do everything will get so clear to you

Dance is part of Hindu religion and to them its ok to dance and perform for pubpic which i am ok with but her movement wont gain much foot hold in Pakistan particularly due to the reason that her dances are based on Sanskriti brahman dances

dance is not part of hindu religion.. just like yoga and hindustani music.. its originated in India so get associated with hindu religious practice.
its like belly dancing is part of islam.

that you must ask a hindu and that too a practicing hindu.

Yes dance and Yoga are a part of Hindu religion. As of Hindustani music, its of Hindustan but there is a thing called Hindu music too which includes Rāga, Bhajan, etc.

I had the pleasure of interviewing classical dancer and performer extraordinaire Sheema Kermani in Karachi some time ago.

Seeing Kermani perform in Pakistan is always a pleasure because her performances are a celebration of the cultural history of this part of the world that dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization. Kermani hosted a two day dance festival at the Arts Council of Karachi, Pakistan to packed audiences followed by well-deserved standing ovations on both days.

Here, she talks about her childhood, her beliefs and what she'd do differently if she could go back in time.

Tell us a little about yourself.
My father belonged to well-established aristocratic family of UP, Lucknow, India. Originally the family is from Kerman in Iran and migrated to India where they settled in UP.

My mother’s family was from Hyderabad Deccan and my maternal grandfather was a District Sessions Judge in Hyderabad, Deccan, India.

My father after having graduated from Aligarh University joined the British India army as a commissioned officer. Then in 1947 he opted for Pakistan and came here as a member of the Pakistan Army. In 1949 he went back to India to get married. My father retired as a Brigadier from the army and then was the chairman of KESC till his retirement.

I was born the second of three children. I have an elder brother and a younger sister. My early education was in the convent schools of the cantonments where my father would be posted. Because of the frequent and many postings all over the country, we as children managed to see most of Pakistan, and because my grandparents were in India we used to travel by train every summer holidays and visit them there. So we had a great exposure to both India and Pakistan.

It was our early exposure to Indian classical dance and music that we had on our visits to Hyderabad, and to Western classical music of which my father was very fond of, that stirred my interest in the arts. As a young girl I had studied Western classical music and read all the classical literature that was available. My parents also gave us a wonderful exposure to the world of dance, drama and music.

In every Muslim culture,there is dancing so,i dont get it?
If someone could explain what she meant with ''I think Muslim men see my dancing as a challenge to them''

It look like monkey dance in weird clothes

Dance as a profession is unacceptable in Pakistan. (But not completely off of the screen). I think even Pakistani women for the most part will not appreciate this as a profession. But if she is Hindu, that's part of both their culture and religion. One should not criticize it then.
Apart from that, there are few Pakistani dancers and they even do the shows. So they arrange everything on their own? Not even a single man is behind those huge events?

By the way, is that true you need the NOC in order to conduct a recital in Pakistan?

Is not nighat choudhry and umair arif doing very much same stupid stuff known as kathuk dance with gungroo ?

its like belly dancing is part of islam.

belly dance is definitely more seductive

Pretty much. Seemingly, just the names are different.
