Aurat March 2022

Aurat March 2022 at Jinnah bagh:

Since 2018, Pakistani feminists have been organising large public demonstrations for Women’s Day called Aurat, the Urdu word for women March. Opposition to the Aurat March has grown in proportion to its popularity and impact.


Firstly on the day of 8 march at Jinnah bagh. There are a lot of women singing,dancing and greeting each other with the word that Eid Mubarak so I don't get it like majority of women in that group is muslim so I think that they don't no that there is only two eid celebration one is Eid ul fitar and Eid ul Adha in Islam, so I just wanna know if this is a eid so why they are not allow everyone to join and celebrate this eid day. But unfortunately according to their rule one ledy can only take two men with her. Isn't it funny but anyways it's okay but the real question is! was that March really about women's rights?


Unfortunately it was not about the Rights of every woman around Pakistan , it was just about an elite class woman that needed attention to do those things like I have Mentioned. And the aurat march itself a discarmination. 


In the end I would like to say that I believe we should focus on confronting REAL oppression rather than wasting our time wringing our hands over nonsense the so-called "Aurat march" is almost too ludicrous to garner public attention. 

We live in the freest country on the planet, where women have rights and protections that previous generations could only dream of all so a bunch of loud-mouthed, vulgar nincompoops can go around wearing obscene hats, making inane speeches, and trashing the place and then wonder why no one respects or takes them seriously.

 Perhaps if they weren't so obnoxious, someone would at least pay attention to them. As it stands, they're reversing fifty years of progress for women's rights, while the rest of the country watches and wonders.

Lattu A traditional Game

Image
  Lattu pahar galy mein jaalii  In Pakistan and India, lattu, or spinning top, is used to play games. This is a traditional Pakistani and Indian game that used to be enjoyed and played by all children, but it is currently losing favor as other interests take precedence. This was once a popular game among children. It is still played in the inner colonies of Karachi, Peshawar, and Lahore, among other cities. For children in Pakistan, lattu is a way of life. History  Thousands of years have passed since the invention of the spinning top. The earliest tops, like many traditional games like marbles, are made of clay and were discovered in the Middle East as early as 3500 BC. It is likely that children were spinning small rocks long before that.  The fact that a wooden top can balance itself on the tip of a nail is stunning. It's due to the "Gyroscopic Effect," which combines the universal laws of inertia (and momentum), friction, and gravity, as well as the conversion of...

Pakistanis and depression

Image
In developing countries, there is a high frequency of depression, and insufficient mental health literacy has been proposed as one of the key drivers of rising rates of mental disease in a society. The goal of this study was to get a sense of the present attitude and perceptions of symptom victims in Pakistan, as well as to examine the impact of those beliefs. Low mental health literacy has been identified as one of the key causes of high rates of mental disease in a population. Jorm et al. describe mental health literacy as "knowledge and beliefs regarding mental diseases that aid in their recognition, management, or prevention."  Mentally ill people must to deal with biases linked with their illness, and this stigma is particularly prominent among Pakistanis. Understanding the public's perspective of mental disease is critical to developing effective initiatives to eradicate it. This must be done in conjunction with an assessment of the cultural environment's norms,...
