Geopolitical Analysis

Sir, This has reference to ‘Women speak out’ (TH Nov 27 Magazine) – No culture is happy with pre-marital sex not even the primitive tribal cultures in Africa. Yet human nature being what it is, for some pre-marital sex could be an urge or a chance or a play of curiosity. In Britain 35 per cent school girls are reported to have had it, obviously safe one, because of high level of education, I think resentment from various quarters to what Khushboo said is not actually against the pre-marital sex but against trivializing highly personal and tender relationship among the youth of opposite gender. As regards Sania, she is born and brought up in a liberal Muslim family and atmosphere. That is why she has been unable to distinguish between a ‘liberal Muslim’ and a ‘good Muslim’ If she could she would better call herself a ‘liberal Muslim’ than a ‘good Muslim’. She received the hype of the press essentially for being a ‘liberal Muslim’. That would have helped the people to understand the logic of her endorsement of Khusboo’s views.
