Married Sikh Woman Goes To Pakistan With Hubby As Part Of A Jatha, Converts And ‘Weds’ Lahore Man
The Bengali Sikh woman with Imran from Pakistan

ATTARI:
A married Sikh woman from Kolkata who was part of a jatha that visited Pakistan
for Gurpurb “converted and married” a Muslim man at Lahore. She was apparently
accompanied by her Indian husband during the pilgrimage and marriage.
According
to sources, the woman, Parminder Kaur (name changed), had crossed the
international border from Attari on November 17 to take part in celebrations on
the birth anniversary of first Sikh master Guru Nanak Dev. She married Lahore
resident Muhammad Imran on November 24. Intelligence sources here said that
before marrying Imran, she embraced Islam and was rechristened as Parveena
Sultan after filing a petition in a Lahore court.
A
Lahore-based deed writer Rana Sajawal confirmed that the Indian woman,
accompanied by two men including a Sikh, had come to purchase an affidavit. He
said since the women didn’t have any Pakistani identification, he had issued
the document in the name of Imran, a resident of Rajan Pur area. Sources said
that Kaur had met Imran on social media and her husband was aware of her ties.
While
confirming the incident, SAD (D) president Paramjit Singh Sarna, who is also
the former president of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, said the
marriage of a Bengali Sikh woman with a Lahore man had brought much
embarrassment to the community. “Such acts can even lead to a ban on Sikh
pilgrimage to Pakistan,” said Sarna. He also advised the pilgrims going to
Pakistan as part of jathas to restrict themselves to religious activities.
According
to sources, Imran wanted to come to India but couldn't as he didn’t have an
Indian visa.
Similarly,
Kaur was denied permission to stay in Pakistan, following which, she and her
Indian husband arrived at Attari on late Friday evening and reached Kolkata on
Saturday. Sources opined that she would apply for Pakistan visa to be with her
Muslim husband.

“Despite
The War, Afghanistan Is Beautiful,” Says The Country's First Woman Tour Guide
From being a shepherdess in Ghor province to
Afghanistan’s first female tour guide
-----
By
Fatima Haidari
28
November 2021
When
I first told my father about my decision to become a tour guide, he was angry.
He asked if I intended to bury myself alive as this would threaten the honour
of our community. On tours, I remember men on the streets laughing and looking
at me strangely, saying, “See her, a Hazara girl [Hazara is an Afghan ethnic
minority group], walking alone with strange men.” I remember the Sufi at an old
shrine who judged me for spreading “vice and apostatizing”. Each time he saw
me, he would say, “You are walking with heretics and strangers. You have to
repent soon.” I would reply with a smile, “Yes, kaka jaan (dear uncle).” It was
tough enough that there were the restrictions of the pandemic to consider.
My
path to becoming Afghanistan’s first female tour guide began by guiding sheep
and cows to green pastures. Born as the youngest of seven, in the deprived and
outlying Lal wa Sarjangal district of Ghor province, I had to work as a
shepherdess at the age of eight. It was my introduction to leading a group.
Shepherding
was also how I got an education, when studying was forbidden to most girls. The
boys studied on the sands under the shade of a tree beside a small river. I
would take my sheep to graze nearby so I could listen to their teacher. When
the Red Cross offered healthcare and food to families with daughters in school,
I convinced my parents to let me go—their condition was that I continue being a
shepherd. I had no books or pens and would practice writing on the sands.
In
2009, when I was nine, we moved as internal refugees to the city of Herat. I
bought notebooks with the money I earned from spinning wool into yarn and
sewing the Afghani menswear Herati yakhan dozi; three years later, I earned
enough to join primary school. I also attended free English classes for
refugees and soon joined the organisation as an assistant English teacher while
I completed schooling. In January 2021, I got together 10 of my friends to open
a voluntary organisation that included a library for girls.
Journalism
is a challenging profession for women here but I saw it as a bridge to a better
future. One of my projects at Herat University was on Afghanistan’s tourist
attractions, and I began to post about the places I was reading of, on a
Facebook travel group. That’s when Biktop, a traveller from Ukraine, messaged
me to ask if I could show them my city. I got to make new friends from another
country and I had a lot to share about Herat. Biktop ended up suggesting my
guide services to Untamed Borders, a travel company specialising in
inaccessible areas. Last year, they came to Herat, joined a group I was guiding
and hired me. They took me through the process of picking up guests at the
airport, briefing them about security and taking them around Herat.
The
risks that international travellers face are different from what I face as a
local woman; one thing we did was to ensure that travellers didn’t stay on the
streets or in one place for too long. My first trip with Untamed Borders was in
October 2020; I juggled tours with university and later began guiding for the
travel company Silk Road Afghanistan too. I got to lead 100 people over 30
tours and I dreamed of taking groups across Afghanistan and having my own
company one day.
Afghanistan
has a history of over 6,000 years; its monuments and scenic beauty are the
greatest draws for travellers. The 1970s saw over 90,000 tourists; after that,
security issues deterred most. People have negative stereotypes about life here
but despite the war, Afghanistan is beautiful. I wanted my tours to reflect its
positive qualities.
I
would tell stories of women in Afghanistan, and show guests ancient places I
loved, like the Herat Central Blue Mosque—highly detailed with blue tiles and,
according to our beliefs, the world’s biggest mosque; guests felt peaceful
sitting there and appreciating its beauty. We’d go to the Timurid shrine at
Gazur Guh and Herat Citadel, dated to 330BC, when Alexander the Great and his
armies arrived.
We
would walk through a bazaar where various ethnic groups sold traditional and
handmade souvenirs, and stop at an old teashop where the owner would talk about
his time as a Jihadi who fought against the Soviet Union invasion of
Afghanistan at the turn of the 1980s. Much of Herat is educated so you can see
women in teahouses, though they are allowed to go out only if accompanied by
male family members.
My
guests gave me a different worldview as we exchanged notes on our cultures.
Meeting solo women travellers especially gave me strength and the willingness
to move around on my own; they gave me the perspective that the world is for
the brave.
I
had never been anywhere alone until I became a tour guide. My parents are
conservative; my sisters were forced into marriage when they were 13 and 15.
But having agreed to my tours, my parents were more open about letting me
travel alone; I went to Kabul twice for a scholarship and as practice for
guiding tours outside Herat.
The
toughest part was taking guests to conservative areas. I would constantly
think, “Do not get kidnapped, do not get killed.” If guests wanted to eat
dinner at a restaurant, I would spend the night at the hotel as my home in the
suburbs was a two-hour drive. Being a tour guide helped me become more
courageous and independent—I am alone again now too, in Italy, where I am
thirsty because nothing tastes like Afghani chai.
Until
recently, I was a tour guide, a university student, a teacher, a social worker,
a radio host speaking with women about overcoming hardship. Everything changed
this August. I found myself thinking of all the women who fought against
misogyny and other barriers. I have observed women who were burned, stoned,
kidnapped, forced into marriage, murdered. I have also seen women raise their
voices and never give up. There were women who were successful doctors,
mothers, teachers, politicians, singers, policy-makers, scientists. Under the
Taliban, what would happen to all of us? I couldn’t let all the positive
changes in my life turn to dust. And yet, to survive, I had to leave my
wonderful country. I am so thankful to those who considered me and arranged my
flights out.
I
still want to graduate, be a tour guide, do volunteer work for refugees, be a
journalist covering women’s issues, and help children who lack the economic
resources to study in Afghanistan. When it is safe for women like me to return,
I want to open a tour company in Afghanistan and train more female guides. Give
me a hundred reasons to fail, I will show a thousand reasons to succeed. I am
Fatima, 23, a fighter from Afghanistan in Italy.

‘We
will start again’: Afghan female MPs fight on from parliament in exile
Amie
Ferris-Rotman
27
Nov 2021
It
is a Saturday morning in November, and Afghan MP Nazifa Yousufi Bek gathers up
her notes and prepares to head for the office. But instead of jumping in an
armoured car bound for the mahogany-lined parliament in Kabul, her journey is
by bus from a Greek hotel to a migrants’ organisation in the centre of Athens.
There, taking her place on a folding chair, she inaugurates the Afghan women’s
parliament in – exile.
“Our
people have nothing. Mothers are selling their children,” she tells a room
packed with her peers. “We must raise our voices, we must put a stop to this,”
says Yousufi Bek, 35, who fled Afghanistan with her husband and three young
children after the Taliban swept to power in August. Some around her nod in
agreement; others quietly weep.
Yousufi
Bek, from the northern Takhar province, is one of 28 female MPs who have found
refuge in Greece, a country most had never visited before. Until recently,
these women made up more than 40% of Afghanistan’s female MPs. Now they are
confronted with an unrecognisable alphabet and an uncertain future.
November
sunshine pours through the windows as the room buzzes with energy. The women
take turns speaking, standing up to address their peers. They express
opposition – to the Taliban, to what they described as Pakistan’s outsized
influence on recent events – as they would in parliamentary sessions in Kabul,
by rhythmically drumming their fingers on the table.
During
meetings with Greece’s prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and president,
Katerina Sakellaropoulou, the MPs have pushed the country’s authorities to
advocate for Afghan women with other EU member states. They have also
petitioned several ambassadors, including the US envoy, to pressure their
governments to consider human rights when working with the Taliban.
Shagufa
Noorzai came up with the idea for a parallel parliament in exile with Yousufi
Bek. A teacher before becoming a legislator, while in office Noorzai focused on
improving the financial status of women and set up a foundation aimed at
supporting homeless children and widows in her native Helmand province. “I want
women in Afghanistan to think, ‘Shagufa didn’t forget us. Shagufa wants to do
something for us’,” says Noorzai, who at 24 became the youngest member of
parliament when she was elected in 2018. Many of the MPs have seen fierce
opposition when seeking election; Yousafi Bek’s campaign was the target of a deadly
suicide bomber.
In
the coming weeks, the MPs will hold virtual sessions with Joe Biden’s
administration, US Congress members and UN security council officials, which
will be facilitated by Mina’s List, a non-profit that supports women’s
political leadership and is working with the Afghan female lawmakers.
On
the agenda: the women’s rights crisis under Taliban rule, ensuring aid reaches
the millions of starving Afghans facing a cruel winter and keeping pressure on
western nations to provide safe passage for Afghan women who worked as judges,
prosecutors and activists, as well as those who served in the security forces.
“Our
intention is to really leverage all of those networks, to amplify the women’s
agenda, to amplify their platforms, to help them have opportunities,” says
Tanya Henderson, Mina List’s founder and executive director.
Emotions
were high when the women gathered for the first time at a community centre run
by Melissa Network, a grassroots network for female migrants and refugees that
played a role in their evacuation.
“You
realise how much power lies with women,” says Nadina Christopoulou, an
anthropologist and director at Melissa Network. Thousands of women have come
through her doors in recent years, but this is the most high-profile group.
It
has not been an easy adjustment: the basic lodgings are a far cry from the
opulent houses of many Afghan politicians in Kabul and their home towns.
Wiping
away tears with her headscarf, long-serving MP Homa Ahmadi shows a recent photo
on her phone of Taliban MPs in Kabul. Where she once sat surrounded by female
peers and men in suits, there are now only men wearing turbans and sporting
long beards.
No
country has recognised the Taliban government, though senior officials from
some, including the UK, have met the group’s leadership in recent weeks, where
they advocated for women’s rights. But those delegations contained no women,
sparking outcry from prominent Afghan women and causing German MEP Hannah
Neumann last week to criticise such meetings as “counteracting the whole
argument”.
The
parliament in exile wants to bring to safety the nine female MPs who remain
behind in Afghanistan. They are in hiding, a traumatic predicament the women
know all too well.
“[Since
August], the Taliban have killed schoolgirls, policewomen and women in
government. The family members are too afraid to speak up,” says Fawzia Hamidi,
48, a lawmaker from northern Balkh province. Formerly a prosecutor for cases of
violence against women, Hamidi describes recent murders in the region as the
tip of the iceberg.

Others,
such as Halima Askari from central Wardak province, crossed overland to
Uzbekistan. In her second trimester of pregnancy, a doctor in Tashkent told her
the baby’s oxygen levels were severely depleted due to stress. Now in her third
trimester, she will give birth in Greece.
Hamidi
describes how she was separated from her five-year-old daughter, Hadia, as she
entered Uzbekistan under the cover of darkness. “Hadia didn’t have a passport.
So I was on one side of the border, and she on the other,” she says through
muffled sobs. She is still waiting to be reunited with her daughter.

Saudi
Women Comprise Fifty Percent of Budget Airline Flyadeal’s Cabin Crew As It
Doubles Its Fleet
FAHAD
ABULJADAYEL
November
27, 2021
JEDDAH:
Saudi Arabia’s budget airline Flyadeal aims to nurture and promote local female
talent as it's doubling its fleet by end of next year, its chief commercial
officer told Arab News.
Ahmed
Albrahim said the low-cost airline’s fleet contains 15 A320 narrowbodies, and
it will continue to receive more aircraft of the A320 Neo class.
The
airline seeks to empower Saudi women in the aviation industry, he added,
saying: “We have the first chief people officer, which is a female, also the
first female airport duty manager, and first female pilot.”
The
low-cost airline launched its first direct flights from Jeddah to Dubai last
week. The new route signaled the company’s first international journey from the
airport.
In
a report recently issued by the International Air Transport Association, total
airline industry losses from 2020 to 2022 are expected to reach $201 billion
despite a post-pandemic improvement.
Net
losses are expected to come in at $11.6 billion in 2022 after a $51.8 billion
loss in 2021, IATA said in its latest outlook for airline industry financial
performance, showing improved results amid the continuing COVID-19 crisis.
Albrahim
admitted that the last two years had been bad for the industry. Likening it to
the 2008 global financial crisis, he said during that time “people lost their
spending power.”
“Back
in 2008 when the world witnessed the financial crisis, people lost their spending
power,” he said, It was a very tough time for everybody including airlines.
However,
he added, the COVID-19 has changed people’s behaviors due to social distancing
measures and airlines have to work out different strategies to ensure a smooth
recovery. Albrahim said people now want all operations carried out
electronically or “touchless.”
Albrahim
said this is putting pressure on all airlines. However, the airline official
expressed optimism that the industry will recover and the flyadeal will grow
from a “lean startup” into a key aviation player.
“We
were able to recover a lot because we are domestic airlines, and because we are
one of the very few airlines in the region that follows the low-cost carrier,”
Albrahim said.

In
A First, BSF Deploys Women Jawans In Jammu To Safeguard Border With Pakistan
By
Gloria Methri
28th
November, 2021
In
another impetus to women empowerment, the Border Security Force (BSF), for the
first time in Jammu, deployed its women jawans at the international border with
Pakistan. The women bravehearts will guard the border and thwart terrorist
infiltration bids along the Line of Control.
At
the Jammu international border, women BSF soldiers were seen maintaining a
round-the-clock vigil, keeping a tab on the enemy's activity. Just opposite
this area is the nefarious Pakistan and its terror camps, where the terrorists
are waiting for an opportunity to sneak into the Indian territory.
This
is the first time women jawans are patrolling at the Jammu border. While has
been a tradition at the international border along with Punjab and other
regions, it is for the first time that women soldiers have been deployed in
J&K.
Speaking
to Republic TV, one of the jawans guarding the border said, "We are ready
to perform every duty, no matter what challenge we are faced with. As the
winter season brings more fog, there will be an increase in infiltration
activities, but we are ready to resist the enemy at the border."
Another
soldier said she wants to ensure that everyone back at home feels safe as the
BSF remains alert at the border with Pakistan.
Its
been 9 months since the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, when
both the armies agreed to hold fire, but the nefarious designs of Pakistan
continue along the LoC as well as the international border. With the onset of
snowfall in the northern region, Pakistan is trying to divert its focus to the
international border, which is the low-lying area of Jammu and Kashmir.
In
recent months, the union territory has witnessed heightened terror activities
since June 7, when a drone attack was reported at the Indian Air Force station
in Jammu. The security forces have since then, carried out 6 to 7
counter-terror operations along the LoC, successfully eliminating at least 7-8
terrorists. The longest-running counter-terror operation is still underway in
the Bhataduria area of Kashmir's Poonch, where terrorists are being apprehended
and planned attacks are being foiled by the army.
It
has been an all-around challenge for the security forces this year, as Pakistan
poses a major threat to J&K, but the women bravehearts of the BSF are
ensuring that the country's borders are secured and the citizens sleep in
peace.

Iraqi-Kurdish
woman first named victim of Channel tragedy
ARAB
NEWS
November
27, 2021
LONDON:
A Kurdish woman from northern Iraq has been named as the first identified
victim of this week’s mass drowning in the English Channel.
Maryam
Nuri Mohamed Amin, 24, was messaging her UK-based fiance when the dinghy she
was traveling on began to sink on Wednesday.
She
was one of 27 people who died while attempting the perilous journey from the
French coast to Britain, which has claimed dozens of lives this year.
Her
fiance told the BBC that she tried to reassure him that they would be rescued
while they were sinking, but she perished along with 26 others. Just two
passengers survived.
There
were 17 male casualties, six women — one of whom was pregnant — and three
children.
The
two survivors, a Somali and an Iraqi, have been discharged from a French
hospital and are expected to be questioned about the incident.
Amin
had attempted the journey with a female relative, both hoping to join family in
Britain.
She
was messaging her fiance on social media app Snapchat moments before the dinghy
began to capsize.
She
hailed from Souran, a town in northeast Iraqi Kurdistan. Her family are
awaiting the return of her body for a funeral.
A
relative said: “Her story is the same as everyone else — she was looking for a
better life. One of her uncles was one of the people closest to me. He cared
for us when my father was a political prisoner. But the family have had such a
tragic life.”

Top
Arab Actors Pluck Plum Roles in Cairo Festival Competitor ‘Daughters of
Abdul-Rahman’
Alissa
Simon
Nov
27, 2021
One
of three Arabic-language films in the Cairo Film Festival international
competition, the feminist dramedy “Daughters of Abdul-Rahman” shows how many
Jordanian women put the traditional expectations of their patriarchal society
ahead of their own desires and the resulting collateral damage. After world
premiering in Egypt, the debut feature of director-writer-producer Zaid Abu
Hamdan will segue to the Red Sea Festival in Saudi Arabia.
The
inspiration for the plot came from the multi-hyphenate’s own mother, as he
realized that she had been unable to achieve her private aspirations. He says:
“Having to be the perfect eldest sister, then a young wife living up to the
social standards expected of her, then a mother to four boys, all that seemed
to put her personal plans on hold.”
Eventually,
Abu Hamdan sent out 300 surveys to Jordanian women of different religious,
educational and socio-economic backgrounds. What came back was so unsettling
that it caused him to re-evaluate the homeland he loved and took for granted.
He says, “So many of the women fantasized about screaming their truth and
shouting out their anger.”
Casting
the four semi-estranged sisters of the title took longer than Abu Hamdan
imagined. He wanted them to be credible as relatives and display familial
chemistry.
First
to sign was Jordan-born international star Saba Mubarek. She took on roles as
executive producer and as Amaal, the most conservative of the sisters. Abu
Hamdan recalls: “It was a tricky decision as I wrote Amaal to be an overweight
‘typical’ housewife and her face is almost fully covered in many scenes of the
film. Saba has a beautiful figure and a very known face … she’s the sexy diva!
After several discussions, something in my gut told me that her eyes alone are
strong and expressive enough that she can give me that magic from behind the burqa,
and so she did.”
As
he was writing the script, Abu Hamdan kept thinking of Kuwait-born,
Syria-trained actress Farah Bseiso as the eldest sibling Zainab. But as he
geared up for production, he couldn’t locate her. He says: “She had quit her
long and successful career and took off to the US with her family.” In the
meantime, he cast Palestinian citizen of Israel Hannan Hillo as the sexy sister
Samah. He says, “She had a hippy vibe when I saw her audition tape, yet, she
just had my character’s soul somewhere in there.”
After
Hillo joined the cast, Abu Hamdan located Bseiso, but she had no plans to exit
retirement. Nevertheless, she promised to read the script and send feedback.
Abu Hamdan says: “Three days later, Farah sent an email saying that Zainab is
the role that will be her comeback. I was over the moon! This email is printed
on A3 paper above my desk.”
Finding
the youngest daughter, Khitam, marked the last piece of the puzzle. After
watching an audition from Mariam Basha, known for the Oscar-nominated
Palestinian short “The Present,” Abu Hamdan knew, “Bingo! I have the daughters
of Abdul-Rahman.”
Abu
Hamdan’s directing career includes short films, episodes of “Sesame Street,”
sport shows and other forms of content, but he is content with his current
niche. He says, “My latest work was MAC Cosmetic’s Ramadan miniseries
“Qata’ef,” featured in Vogue Arabia, which starred five beautiful women. What I
realized is that empowered female characters with a distinct point of view
excite me, and working with actresses [is] a challenge that I adore.” His next
feature film, now in development, also centers around a woman, but of a very
different type.

Turkish
woman says subjected to strip search in police custody
by
TurkeyPurge
Nov
28, 2021
Tuğba
Arıcı, a Turkish social media user, has tweeted that she was subjected to a
strip search while in police detention for insulting President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan on social media.
According
to Turkish legal and preventative search regulations, strip-searches can only
be conducted in exceptional cases, such as when there are credible indications
that the person has contraband materials on their person. In such cases, the
search must be conducted in a manner so as not to humiliate the person and as
quickly as possible. When there is a credible suspicion that something is hidden
in the person’s body, officers are required to ask the person to remove it
himself and inform him that if he disobeys, the removal will be done by the
prison doctor.
Dozens
of women, including prominent writers and a politician, revealed in December
2020 that police had strip-searched them while in custody.
Pro-Kurdish
Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) lawmaker Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu brought
several reports into the public eye in late 2020.
Some
women related their experiences long after the incidents during a Turkish wave
of revelations similar to the international #MeToo movement in which women
described past sexual harassment.
