[Reader-list] Bizarre Pakistani Cult Seeks Presence in India

[yasir ~]

you have identified this pretty well. there has been no shortage of
such cults throughout hindustan in history which are syncretic and
funny by outrageous standards - or in other words seriously absurd.
for a few years during the last decade their mark on the walls had
been a biological-heart-shape with allah written inside and slogan
like 'welcome the coming of the mahdi'. as far i know they dont have a
violent side but are wierd nonetheless. you're also, i think, correct
about their political motivations to win themselves a future.


here is another absurdity although this one does not bind us across the border:
the interesting bit is the interview with incidentally another naayab
pearl - madeeha gauhar
