Sighing...such a serious topic. But it's something thats happeneing right now...right this minute.

Sohni I hear your concern. AS you are saying that people of our generation go along with the cast tradition.

GirlFriend who you talking about.

All the folks in my family ...young folks. Well I know they dont think like this at all.

When I used to live with my parents. All the gals in my family would get together at my aunt's house with all our friends once a month.

Together we would pray and read quran and hadith. We would discuss issues and so on.

And being Paki is an issue period.

In my community there are the typical pakistani gossip makers. BUT WERE WILL YOU GET IN THE WORLD IF YOU KEEP OBSSESSING ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK AND SAY. Yes, I knwo that it hurts sometimes especially when hteir sayingstuff about you. But what will they get out of talkking ***t about their Muslim Brother or Sister behind their back.

Im not a goodie too shoo myself. I believe no ones perfect. But, I think before I say something. If I cant say it to the pesons face then I try not to say it at all.

Yes, I mean...I told you that alot of the newer genration folks are marrying a differetn cast. Or my moms fmaily has some MExican, African-American, Costa Rican, Caucasion, and Indian. SO were a lil diverse. Its mostly the old grandmas, and grandpas...that have more of an issue with it. I remember my grandma saying...that girl married a white guy. And I didnt say anything but inside I said to myself. Well that white guy was also Muslim.

People change when they become educated.

Just compare our fresh of the boat paki peeps with the educated paki peeps that live abroad...and tell me do you notice the diffrence.

I'M NOT TALKING OF ANYONE IN PARTICULAR, BUT I HAVE COME ACCROSS YOUTHS THAT STILL BELIEVE WHAT THEIR PARENTS TAUGHT THEM ABOUT CASTS. I'LL REPLY IN FULL LATER, I GOTTA GO NOW
