Visit of Indian PM and Bangladesh is loser again

[Zabaniyah]

There is nothing great in drinking and there is nothing disgraceful about drinking.

It is a personal choice.

There is also a thread on this forum on the subject where much debate of what it is said in Islam.

Ghazals, rubiyyats, Moghul miniature paintings shows alcohol as intrinsic.

Therefore, one does find it odd and even exasperating when one pretends that their country being Muslim has no alcohol intake because that is a blatant falsehood.

Two things is universal - alcohol and prostitution and no country is free of it, religion inhibiting or otherwise.

Human beings will be human beings will all the weaknesses and so there will be many who will fall a prey.

I have had Bangladeshi officers as students, who while inhibited before unequal ranks, made merry then they were with their peers and enjoying my hospitality.

In fact, one Hindu Bangaldeshi officer decline alcoholic beverages, but not so the Muslim boys!

It was personal choice and nothing more!

They were as religious as the next man Jack!

There is a Bengali saying - ati bhokti, chorer lokhon!

Even in Buddhist majority Thailand, alcohol is freely available. But yes, it is a choice.

 

[Tiki Tam Tam]

I used to drink.

Now I rarely drink!

But then who cares what I do!

I no longer have any desire for alcohol!

Not that I had it before, but I drank since attending parties was a bore and how much could one drink the sickening soft drinks?
