"Afzal A. Khan" <me_afzal@privacy.net>: Dec 16 05:38PM -0600

It is learnt from newspaper reports that veteran film actor
Ram Mohan passed away in Bombay on the 6th December.
 
I am quoting below a newspaper report giving some details :
 
MUMBAI:- Bollywood Famous actor Ram Mohan died at the age of
84 in the afternoon on Dec 6. The actor who lived in his Juhu
apartment in Mumbai succumbed to old age.
 
Shedding more light on the incident, Ashok Shekhar, son of
veteran actor Chandrashekhar mentions, "I don't have much
details. All I know is that he had his last breath at 3 pm
today due to old age. The last time I spoke to him was four
months ago, at the time he was completely bed ridden. He was
not keeping well since the last six months."
 
Mohan's wife expired six months ago and the senior actor
lived with his two sons who stayed in the similar colony in
Juhu. The veteran actor's funeral will be held tomorrow (Dec
7) at 11 am at Pawan Hans crematorium Vile Parle, Mumbai.
 
Mohan began his acting career in early 50s, and has been a
part of movies like Heer Ranjha, Purab Aur Pachhim, Zanjeer,
Yaarana, Gupt, International Khiladi, Rangeela, Kaho Na..
Pyaar Hai, Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Mara among others. The actor
worked actively in Bollywood till late 2000s.
 
 
My personal memory of (the late) Ram Mohan concerns two film songs
where he had appeared in each song sequence, though he was not
singing any lines as such. The first is from an obscure film of
1959 "Do Behnen" which starred Chand Usmani, Rajendra Kumar and
Shyama. {Regrettably, the first two are no longer with us.} The
scene involves a sort of boat race, where the girls are rowing a
narrow boat while the men are in another similar boat. Chand
Usmani. the leader of the girls' group, is joyfully singing a song
"Jhuk jhuk jhola khaye...". Ram Mohan is the leader of the men's
group in the other boat and, from time to time, indulges in a
lusty alaap. Here is a video link to this song :
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WwvopjMTeM
 
Music for the above film was composed by Salil Chowdhury.
 
The other song is from the 1962 film "Bombay Ka Chor", stg. Mala
Sinha and Kishore Kumar. There is a wedding in the village and
Helen launches into a delectable dance (music by Ravi) :
"....Hum to ghabra ke pyaar kar baiThe...". Kishore Kumar is
ogling Mala Sinha, rather pointedly, while Mala is scowling at
him. And Ram Mohan, resenting these goings on, is looking
daggers at Kishore Kumar. Here is the video link to this song :
 
https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=Bombay+ka+Chor+-+1962&
ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001
 
Apart from the above two films, there is one more film that does
not find a mention in the newspaper reports, and that is "Mere
Huzoor", released in 1968. Here, Ram Mohan appeared in another
negative character (Nabban Miyan), who induces Jeetendra (already
married to Mala Sinha) to fall in love with a courtesan.
 
In his personal life, Ram Mohan was a very sincere and helpful
person. I remember reading a story about how he approached a
prominent Congress leader in Bombay (Gurudas Kamat) to lend a
helping hand to another veteran actor A. K. Hangal who was
seriously ill at the time (and passed away later on). Kamat,
at Ram Mohan's behest, arranged to send a sum of Rs. one lakh
towards the medical treatment of Hangal.
 
So, Ram Mohan ....... R.I.P.

Could be the biggest hit of all time ,opening day was Rs 50
crores worldwide about $7m, but amazingly they have not subtitled the
songs! Many young NRIs dont understand the language and will turn off
when the songs , which are the best part of Bollywood , come.
Sumptous sets , rich colours , good Indian music. Sings seem
clipped , should have been longer .,Ignore what the soothasayer says
and watch this feedback from Pakistan. Must see movie, Bollywood at is
best.

Why Muslim Women Wear the Veil
 
Description: Even in the face of adversity Muslim women choose to obey God.
 
In recent years, a small piece of cloth has managed to cause quite a stir. The scarf or hijab that Muslim women wear on their heads is making headlines around the world. Hijab is banned in French public schools and other European countries have adopted, or are drafting similar legislation. In Australia, a radio presenter triggered both debate and outrage when he called for the face veil (niqab) to be banned from banks and post offices. Even predominantly Muslim countries such as Turkey and Tunisia ban the hijab in certain government buildings. When a small piece of fabric causes such controversy and conflict, wouldn't it be easier to remove it? Why then, under such circumstances, do Muslim women wear scarves?
 
There are a myriad of reasons why, but the easy, one sentence answer is, because they believe God has made it an obligation for believing women. In the Quran God tells the believing men and women to lower their gaze and to dress modestly. He (God) specifically addresses women when He asks them not to show off their adornment, except that which is apparent, and draw their veils over their bodies. (Quran 24:30-31)
 
These verses of Quran are known as the verses of hijab and it is the consensus of Islamic scholars that they make the wearing of hijab mandatory. Some countries, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar do enforce a dress code. Women there are expected to cover their hair and wear some sort of loose fitting, full-length garment over their clothes. However, for the majority of Muslim women around the world, to cover, or not to cover, is a freely made choice. God requires Muslim women to dress modestly and to wear the hijab in public and in the presence of men who are not close relatives.
 
Although the English word scarf and the Arabic term hijab have become interchangeable, it is worth noting that hijab is more than just a scarf. It is a term that covers a variety of clothing including scarves, but also a variety of different dress styles from around the world. Many have cultural connotations such as the Pakistani shalwar khamis or the Afghani burqa, but whenever a Muslim woman covers "her adornment", she is said to be wearing hijab.
 
The literal meaning of hijab is to veil, to cover, or to screen. Islam is known as a religion concerned with community cohesion and moral boundaries, and therefore hijab is a way of ensuring that the moral boundaries between unrelated men and women are respected. In this sense, the term hijab encompasses more than a scarf and more then a dress code. It is a term that denotes modest dressing and modest behaviour. For instance, if a Muslim woman was wearing a scarf but at the same time using bad language, she would not be fulfilling the requirements of hijab.
 
The majority of Muslim women wear hijab, to obey God, and to be known as respectable women. (Quran 33:59) However, in the last 30 years hijab has emerged as a sign of Islamic consciousness. Many women see wearing the hijab as indicative of their desire to be part of an Islamic revival, especially in countries where the practice of Islam is discouraged or even forbidden.
 
While those who seek to ban hijab refer to it as a symbol of gender based repression, the women who choose to don a scarf, or to wear hijab, in the broadest sense of the word, do so by making personal decisions and independent choices. They view it as a right and not a burden. Nor do these women regard hijab as a sign of oppression. Women who wear hijab often describe themselves as being "set free" from society's unrealistic fashion culture.
 
Hijab frees women from being thought of as sexual objects of desire or from being valued for their looks, or body shape rather then their minds and intellect. No longer slaves to consumerism, hijab liberates women from the need to conform to unrealistic stereotypes and images dictated by the media. Women wearing hijab have expressed that dressing modestly and covering their hair, minimises sexual harassment in the workplace. The aura of privacy created by hijab is indicative of the great value Islam places upon women.
 
It is true that in some families and in some cultures women are forced to wear hijab but this is not the norm. The Quran clearly states that there is no compulsion in religion (2:256). Women who choose to wear hijab do not make the decision lightly. In fact many women testify that they faced great animosity from their Muslim or non-Muslim families when they decided to cover. Across the globe there are numerous instances of women having to defend their right to wear the hijab.
 
Hijab can be a symbol of piety and it can be a sign of great inner strength and fortitude. A woman wearing hijab becomes a very visible sign of Islam. While Muslim men can blend easily into any society, Muslim woman are often put on the line, and forced to defend not only their decision to cover, but also their religion. Nevertheless, women who wear hijab insist that the advantages far outweigh any disadvantage conjured up by media bias or general ignorance.

Sloppy not to subtitle all the songs and the smoking shown
throughout makes one wonder if cig companies have sponsored. Really
smoking except by very bad characters should simply be outlawed
onscreen.
Some fantastic songs and dances , a pity some of the western
women in yellow dresses are kept way in the background. Seems to be
set in some Scottish castle. Irritating piano music but worth seeing
once on the big screen.

Meet Brother Dean Saxton, Who Believes Women Are To Blame
For Their Own Rape
 
By Tyler Kingkade
The Huffington Post
May 5, 2014
 
[Video]
 
Brother Dean Saxton spends a lot of time on the
University of Arizona campus slut shaming.
 
Saxton is a student at UA and the resident campus
preacher. He's very disliked on campus. Standing around
with signs telling people they deserve to be raped
doesn't help.
 
Vice went to Arizona and spent time with Saxton for a
mini-documentary, published online Monday.
 
In one scene Vice captured, Saxton showed up at a
screening of the documentary "Brave Miss World," which
chronicles the experience of rape survivors, holding a
sign declaring "Forgive Rapists."

YALE STUDENT: 'I WAS RAPED'

The topic of rape on college campuses is all over the
media recently. There are two opposing views out there at
the moment, generally speaking. The first view is that
rape isn't as big of a problem as it is sometimes made
out to be, instead statistics are inflated and confused
by the ambiguities of "drunk sex" and the sex-with-near-
strangers norm of the college hookup culture, and, in
some cases, hyped, up by politically-motivated feminists
who show little concern for the due process rights of
young men who may be falsely accused. The second view is
that there is an epidemic of rape on campus and that
victims are often denied justice, criminals walk away
free, while an indifferent society ends up blaming the
victims.
 
Both of these views, opposite though they may be, have an
element of truth in them. As someone who has written
quite a bit about sexual assault on campus and about the
college sexual culture in general, I often find myself
caught in the middle between these two sides, which too
often seem to take an all-or-nothing approach to the
argument. Feminists, for example, are almost never
willing to admit something as simple as the fact that
when two people get drunk, consent can become a much more
murky question by the time the two wake up the next
morning. Conservatives, on the other hand, sometimes
sound as if they believe rape almost never happens on
campus.
 
The truth of the matter, I believe, lies between these
two extremes. Rape is startlingly common on college
campuses and rapists do get away with their crimes far
too often. But on-campus rape is made more prevalent by
the rampant abuse of inhibition-lowering alcohol, and by
the fact that the modern hookup culture has radically
transformed sexual expectations among casual
acquaintances -- two factors that do a lot to muddy the
lines of sexual consent. Anyone who points this out is at
risk of being castigated for "blaming the victim."
