Jawed Naqvi – the living wretched
This article appeared on June 12, 2006 in the Pakistani newspaper Dawn. It is old, but relevant. So I couldn’t help replying to the author.
Here is the link http://www.dawn.com/2006/06/12/fea.htm#2
Here is my reply (also sent to the author):
Dear Javed, I read with interest your article “In search of a balanced picture” It was written a long time ago. But I couldn’t resist letting you know some views contrary to yours, in case you still hold them.
In the first line you contradict yourself when you say, “THERE were 16 per cent downtrodden Dalits in India at the last count. There were eight per cent adivasis or tribespeople. The Indian constitution guarantees 22 per cent job reservations for them in nearly all government departments. That quota was never filled up. Thus, between them the two communities share just two per cent of government jobs, a heavy component of these being lower division clerks and menial workers, including sweepers.”
Evidently, if dragging on for 22% reservations for 50 years (year of last count?) gives you 2% of seat-filling-success, wouldn’t you agree that this policy is a colossal failure? What do we need to reach 22% then- a reservation of 220%?Why don’t we bring quota down to 5%, achieve that target, take it to 10%, then 22% and so on. Why for your deep love of 22%, should ‘upper-caste’ educated guys go around begging for food and jobs in these days of extreme unemployment? Oh, I forgot. All upper-castes were born in royal families. Only the dalits were the life and soul of the freedom struggle, while the upper castes drank honey and nectar from gold bowls.
You probably also would not want to know that in the educational institutes (the ones producing doctors, MBA, engineers) the rate of occupancy of reserved seats is many times higher ( In my college, a regional institute of technology- a relatively high-tier college, all SC/ST seats were full). And yet by your own admission if they are only 2% of jobs-that too mostly sweepers- wouldn’t you care to know what went wrong in the colleges? Do you know that nearly all SC/ST students get hefty scholarships? Most of them drink heavily, study little and fail so many times that either they are thrown out or have to sober up and study so that they pass out atleast in a few additional years time. I shouldn’t wonder. Reservations have made them slothful and devoid of self-esteem. They want crutches everywhere. They will argue, blame, squabble, talk of persecution- but they won’t work their butt out to glory.
Also in my college, BCs were as good as the upper -castes in studies, and coolly used the reservations to their advantage to fill both the reserved and the general quotas hugely with their numbers.
I don’t know why shirt-tearing students qualify less for your sympathy than dalits, but I can see a severe disconnect of your views from the enormous complexities (chiefly introduced by the neta’s ill-intent) of the issue. Why should you not see that the more you do ‘positive -discrimination’ against upper-castes, the more hard-work they put in and find newer areas to shine. And once they have established themselves in these enterprises, social-justice rats come around snooping- ‘What, no dalits here! Discrimination!!’ I read a dalit leader protesting that Infosys is run by a Brahmin (namely, Narayanmurthy). What hope these sad leaders have for their followers?
I know of many upper-caste and lower-caste ordinary people of my and my parents’ generation- who threw themselves in the cauldron of competition- and came out with success and self-respect. My father used to go around from house to house to tie rakhi and get a day’s food. And he finally ended up as a pretty high functionary in a public-sector company. I just cant understand what stops your mama’s boy dalits, but I guess lying around drunk singing lewd songs in the hostel premises, all at the public’s’ expense, is more fun.
It would surprise you to know that many upper caste Hindus wouldn’t love more to see an equal society. Many of their numbers have done a lot for dalits, most notably Gandhi. What gets us mad is these lazy, cynical, divisive, blind policies created by impotent and decaying politicians like VP and Arjun (upper castes for you, with no other claim-to-fame than shortcuts to social justice) masquerading as social justice.Nothing exposes their rabid hypocrisy more than their resistance to reserving seats for lower-castes in the Parliament on the lines of other government jobs, to the tune of 50% at least.
Who will deny that a person who loves India will want an equal society? However if the netas believe upper-castes hate equality, it must follow they hate India- so try them for treason and have them killed or deported. Decide once and for all, for God’s sake; stop this daily nautanki of weak-kneed policies.
Frankly, expecting upper castes to live in poverty because of their akas’ stunted social-justice programs will always remain what it is – a perverted and unfulfilled dream.
Where else in the world will the dalits find policies so favourable to them but India? Who will ‘positively’ discriminate on their behalf with such wild abandon, giving finger to the ‘equality of opportunity’ and thereby the ’right to live’ doctrine ? By all intents and purposes, India is first their country. It is in their interests to keep it healthy. Why are they digging its roots with so much hate-mongering? They will be left with a rotten country in the end from which to claim their benefits.
What good is a policy that alienates such a huge proportion of the people? What are these leaders for- don’t they know how important it is to look equitable, as well as to act? Where did they learn leadership-in a fish market?
You might say that exceptions in a caste may happen. Not necessarily so. I find Arun shourie’s advice good- implement reservations on an individual level, not on a caste level.
My advice- Teach them to fish. There is no moral principle behind reservations. It is wrong.
This is with reference to the other part of your article. DO Indians suffer from inferiority complex of sorts as a people? President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam gave an indication last week that unnecessarily perhaps, but they do…………………
India is by no definition a developed country. It is severely underdeveloped. Why are you so gleefully pointing out its flaws? We know where we stand. I can understand the satisfaction of Pakistani readers when they read all this in the spirit of ‘even they have problems -hee, hee”. But battling the ghosts of inferiority complex of a colonised country is a laudable mission. Atleast we are trying to improve.
Pakistan unfortunately has fallen to such depths of decay that ‘Pakistani’, is synonymous with ‘terrorist’. Part of the inferiority complex of Indians living abroad stems from the fact that they look like Pakistanis, and hence are liable to be looked upon as cold-blooded killers. Will you write about it? If not, how do dark reports about India help Pakistanis readers?
Of course, Journalists do a lot of picking and choosing while reporting, based on what they want to say. Your fellow journalist M. Saleem Chaudhry has this to say in his article “Two future economic powers: India, China ” in Dawn: There is no centre in this world economy. India is becoming a power house very fast. The medical school in
New Delhi is now perhaps the best in the world. And technology graduates of the Indian Institute of Information Technology in Bangalore are as good as any in the world. Also India has 150 million people for whom English is their main language. So India is becoming a knowledge centre. “
I think that in a country that is attempting to drastically improve, journalism needs to be done in a positive spirit. Cribbing, negative reporting infests Indian newspapers, matched only by those riding the latest hype, and I think they are both a burden. They are of little good to any society wanting to move ahead. Dr. Kalam’s predominant mission in life is to make Indians positive. His single-handed leadership of India’s missile development is unmatched by anyone else in any other country. It requires self-belief of a massive magnitude. Surely you are not trying to teach him?
Warm Regards
Abhishek
A very good and be-fitting reply.
Btw..that Naqvi’s email is
jawednaqvi@gmail.com if you have not emailed him your response.
dear jawed
you seem to be so much anti indian that you refer to the Indian IT people living in USA as IT coolies ( dawn dated 9.9.07). why don’t you leave India and go wherever you like. that will save us muslims from lots of problems.
Hello, nice post. Bookmark it.
Your response is just mediocre; every other line made me cringe and laugh. While you admonish Mr. Naqvi for “gleefully pointing out India’s flaws”, you claim that “‘Pakistani’, is synonymous with ‘terrorist’.” How juvenile. And statements “Most [i.e most reserved category students] of them drink heavily…” are laughable and embarassing. Geez..
Javed Naqvi writes excellent articles (see http://www.dawn.com/weekly/jawed/20071009.htm – another excellent piece). As an Indian, I always read him, because our own press seems to be gleefully ignoring India’s flaws. I can assure you, there is no evidence of “Cribbing, negative reporting infests Indian newspapers”. And how exactly are we “battling the ghosts of inferiority complex of a colonised country”? By trying to be even more developed than the coloniser, England, herself? Gandhi said “God forbid that India should ever take to industrialism after the manner of the west… keeping the world in chains. If [our nation] took to similar economic exploitation, it would strip the world bare like locusts.” Think about it.

what sport do you think is good for average people

Jawed naqwi is a chilli-in-the-ass type of closet pakistani living in India. His sole purpose is to present everything about India in a perverted fashion to the denizens of the ‘ground zero of terror’. You can imagine this ‘jouranist’s’ worth by the kind of audience he is writing for. These types will always look for supporting policies that are a)socially divisive eg reservations, and b)drenched in muslim love. These pak lovers know that every threat to them comes from bright, upper caste hindus. so they try their best to denigrate them.unfortunately such half-assed scribes are neither cared for nor much read. i am sorry i even bothered to reply to this nincompoop.
i’m not a lower cast guy but i feel strongly for these people. Jawed Naqvi is far superior than u mr abhishek in seeing the bigger picture, he also would have had trouble in his early days like u but see how responsible human being is he.
If we upperclass people find it hard to come up in life it is mostly our fault.If underclass dont come up everyone is at fault..the whole society. remember the old saying it takes a village to bring up a kid.
Minorities and natives are always targeted by majority for their problems,,blacks in US, abos in Australia, Maoris in newzealand, etc. statistically this may be true.they might represent an unproportionate ratio in prison or unemployment office..but what we forget is that they are nothing but the result of the exploitation our ancestors have done(if not us).they took hundreds of years to create this inequality in society with myopic views like yours and it will take ages for us to correct this and sadly for people like u mr abhishek it will b a pain in the bum and i feel that these attitude will reflect in ur normal life and u may end up an unhappy man for ever.
So instead of cursing the poor victims work harder and develop a positive attitude,if opportunity doesnt knock build a door, dont forget to thank ur forefathers to have given u such genes and talent and opportunity. i sincerely pity ur and other similar people’s anger. May the wisdom reaches u guys sooner than later (when it may b too late).Good luck
yash, what can I say, you seem to be terribly afraid of unhappiness, and I am going to make you more unhappy.
You are not a lower caste guy. Who is asking you about your caste? Did I say that I am a higher caste guy? All nincompoops forcing the quota mantra are upper caste guys.What of it?
Anyway the reason I dont want to argue with you is you seem to be a terrible coward. When someone slaps you, you are quick to offer the other cheek, until your face is red with non-stop slaps.You have no ideas of your own. If a half-assed pakistani who writes convoluted garbage to an enemy country to earn his living impresses you so much, I cant understand what kind of gutter you yourself have come from.
Your views dont surprise me. You seem to have swallowed the ‘upper caste atrocity theory’ completely. Did you see the atrocities happening? If not, why are you feeling the pain in the wrong place? I say it didnt. Prove me wrong.
You guys have been so badly misled that you talk of black slaves, aborigines and lower castes in the same breath. Why dont you compare lower caste to extinct species of mammals? That will make your case stronger. What I am saying is dont make random, meaningless and foolish comparisons.
All I am saying is this- use policies intelligently, give help to people who deserve it. dont make policies that give impetus to fat and well-provided people to become assholes,in the name of some atrocity that X did on Y, Z centuries ago. And that is what the quota system is creating – MILLIONS of ASSHOLES who have no self resepct, no quality and no stake in hard work.
And you ‘upper caste’ jackass, get rid of the arrogance of your ‘seuprior genes’. You racist thug, people like you make me sick. Talking about US. You could be kicked into a jail if you talk of the superior gene theory there, and no lawyer will save your precious bum.What makes you feel you have ‘better genes’. There are millions of mediocre upper caste people swarming in this country. Is everone endowed with great genes? Inside your condescedning attitude towards lower castes is a feeling of superiority of ‘seuprior genes’. How much seriousness can one give to quota advocates if this is the kind of arguments they advance? You have already assumed you are sueprior. Going even by your idiotic logic, that is useless. We can easily sacrifice superiority for ‘social justice’, isnt it? So if superiority is such a useless article that you can throw it away like toilet paper, what grave crime did upper caste people do by retaining superiority? It is anyway of little value.
But forget your stupid arguments. I feel you have inefrior genes. Now will you accept that upper castes need as much quota as lower castes?
I do believe the quota system has created lazy bums here. I however feel that inspite of it’s inadequacies the system should countinue albeit with some modifications. The creamy layer must be put in the general quota.
@ abhishek I second you on the superior genes theory. Guys who support quota system to save the “inferior” lower caste people are more dangerous than the ones who oppose the quota system. By the way I hav got superior genes but I failed in school because I was lazy;-).
Jawed Naqvi may have an agenda (or not) but seeing the record of the Indian media the last two weeks, I think we should use his articles to get some news from the opposing point of view.
Javed Naqvi likes to enhanse Pakistan’s credibility by making comparisons between the two countries that are most times a huge stretch. He will glee fully present the flaws from this sode of the border to his audience while refering to the Pakistan’s follies as “alleged”. He never uses this word while pointing out India’s flaws. Example: He referred to the mutilation of Indian soldiers by Pakistan’s soldiers during Kargil as “alleged” but talks with authority while assigning blame to India. Can you imagine an Indian journalist in Karachi doing this.
Javed Naqvi likes to enhance Pakistan’s image by drawing comparisons between the two countries that are most times a huge stretch. He will gleefully present the flaws from his side of the border to his audience on the other side while refering to the Pakistan’s follies as “alleged”. He never uses this word while pointing out India’s flaws. Example: He referred to the mutilation of Indian soldiers by Pakistan’s soldiers during Kargil as “alleged” but mentions with authority his cribs against mainsttream India. Can you imagine an Indian journalist in Karachi doing this?
During the Mumbai Massacre, Naqvi’s biggest criticism was reserved for the Mullahs who refused to bury the killers dead bodies in Muslim Morgues. He said the “so called” religious authorities were playing politics with their power over the masses. In essence he had a problem with the Mullahs not taking sides with the killers on the grounds of religion. The timeliness of his article suggest where lies his empathy. The guy is a clear sympathizer of those who seek to harm India to the extend that he will criticize the rational decisions made by the muslim community in India. He is what Indian Muslims can live without.
Naqvi we all know has his allegations to Pakistan. Like all anti-hindus , he will do everything possible to make all hindus get kicked out of left over hindustan and it will become dar-ul-islam.
And hindus deserve this we deserve to be kicked and butchered and woemn raped as we ourselves do this by allowing these assholes to write such ant-hindu articles……
I think date would be 2050 when Hindustan becomes Islamistan..
My mail to Mr. Naqvi for his article Big applause for hypocrisy (http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/Dawn%20Content%20Library/dawn/news/world/big-applause-for-hypocrisy-ha)
Dear Sir,
I refer to your article by the above stated subject at Dawn website, the article is indeed well written and structured and the gamut of your deep knowledge about intense subjects like Ragas, movies and current affairs were enough to astound any reader. I am also sure that you must be having a huge fan following and would not be able to spare time to reply my email sir.
I understand that you consider we Indians are not good at facing criticism but let me assure that we are. It is just the matter that we do not seek unsolicited advice in our affairs that are aimed to alienate people of particular caste, creed or religion, especially when such comments come from people who leave their own burning house to providence and seek a chance to censure others.
The comments of Maulana Mahmood Madani may seem hypocrisy to you sir, but I believe it was a justified attempt to defy outsiders and corner them. It is just like a mother defying neighbour’s complain of mischief done by her son. I am thankful to Maulana Sahab that he not only stood by with his brothers but also battled on the forefront when ‘outsiders’ tried to invade.
As far as the situation of Muslims in India is concerned I firmly believe that they are in a better position as compared to what they are in their pure-land. They are more secure, do not have a fear of life, equal constitutional rights, socially more secure. It could be an everlasting list that can be made on the subject “Why Muslims in India are happier than their counterpart”. At least we do not have Shia-sunni riots, at least they live in a secular and pluralistic society, at least they live in a Democracy and so on..
While reading Jawed Naqvi’s articles on Dawn website, i had his image of hate loving Pakistan national who is brought up on taliban philosophy. One who has only one aim in life – to pour hatred against India (mind you not hindus but only India).
But to my rude shock, i got to know that he is an Indian national. isn’t this country too tolerant !!!!
Abhishek,
You’ve nailed it man!
Quota – does create millions of ASSHOLES
60 years since independence, and still we have quotas with no tangible results. I am not very good with words, but I am as frustrated as you over this quota issue.
Abhishek,
Good stuff.
I was laughing so hard when I read your reply to “yash”
lol
It is only in India that a traitor like Naqwi can spew so much hatred and venom against his own people.
Hi Abhishek,
I liked your response to this moron called Jawed Naqvi. He is a number one traitor. When the Mumbai happened, he decided to criticise the mullahs who refused to bury the bodies of terrorists. He ridiculed the Indian media and commandos who put a brave fight and killed the terrorists. When the whole country mourned the dead and stood united, he decided to write on the suspicion his “muslim cap” raised to further create wedge and divide the society. He chides India’s fundamentalist organisations, but I am yet to hear about his criticism of the much more dreaded AL-Qaida or the Let or Taliban. The Pakistani columnists are far more rational and balanced than this so-calleed Indian moron and I cant find a better hypocrite than him. Dawn just uses his trash so that a few anti Indians would buy their copies. India is too tolerant to let loose this complete moron. Anyways we can judge this fella by just looking at his readers. Simple thing is we just ignore this fool.
Thanks
Thanks guys, I am happy to note that this post is becoming a rallying point for anti- javed naqvi and anti-reservation view points. Of course I care as much for the former as a torn pair of old chappals. It is the divisiveness and cynicism of the quota policy that I am really worried about. Blatant injustice, ‘reverse injustice to set right past wrongs’ etc is not getting us anywhere, as you can clearly see. This post was written 2 years back. Injustice in any form is bad.It is the accumulation of such poisonouse policies that we are in such dire straits. Hope we get leaders with some spine this time.
Hello, Abhishek:
Why don’t we get a petition going for the DAWN editor to transfer this unhappy so-called journalist to be the DAWN’s Beijing Correspondent?
He’ll be in his pinko-heaven (he’ll be writing all that pro-China stuff that the Chinese-loving Pakistanis will lap up); we the Indian/NRI readers of DAWN will be happy; and maybe that newspaper might even appoint a **REAL** journalist to cover India as it deserves to be covered. How about it?
(Let him try writing any anti-China stuff!)
RJ you are right, Pakistani journos are more balanced than this half-breed swine. Probably no Pakistani journo agreed to write such rot week after week to please anti-Indians there. We all know developed countries outsource their work to India, but to know that a third class worm state called Pakistan could outsource some of its job to an Indian journalist is a revelation to me.
Ironically the reservation system has driven more and more caste into the list ofg those who clamour or need reservations. This sounds like counter productive measure to me.
I am not against reservations and let every one come up in the social and economic ladder, but then the same should not be based on caste or religion. I read in the newspaper a few days back about a SSLC topper in Karnataka whose father is an auto driver. She must be given full encouragement to study further, may be even free tuitions and books etc without prodding into which religion or caste she belonged to. As Anil said, the current reservations have only further aggrevated that “caste mindset” in the people, rather that removing it. The least the govt can do is to ensure affordable and quality education atleast upto +2 level for every indian without looking at the caste or religion, instead of giving freebies for garnering votes like pocket money, cycles or TVs to the people who actually do not need them. As long as students can get quality education at affordable rates, they would gain the potential to face the stiff competition in today’s world.
Unfortunately the reservation system has gone beyond helping the weak rise up, as was once its supposed goal, however faulty the assumptions underpinning it.
Today it is a short-cut to money and power. Do you think the people who are in the reserved categories would like a casteless society? What for? To lose money, power, social status, easy life? The clamour for everyone to be called a ‘low caste’ is deafening. I bet a brahmin in today’s scenario would give an arm and a leg to be called a ‘low caste’. With such a beastly competition for good education and jobs, which nitwit would like to give up such grand and unique preferntial treatment? Just so that some people don’t consider them low castes? Thats a terribly small cost to pay.
I agree that there are people in certain castes who are worse off than others. But that has become totally irrelevant. They are not setting the agenda of reservation at all. It is the rich among the castes who want the quota power for themselves, while shamelessly pointing to the plight of their poorer castemen. And even if these pooree castemen were to become Ambanis tomorrow, would reservations for them cease? Far from it. They would use their clout to bludgeon anyone who dares to repeal their names from the quota list.To an extent this has happened. Many castes, and you can all see who, call the shots in the country. But they havent cleared off and let the castes that are still poorer, still below them in getting to the captive goods. They are casteists and discriminators of the foulest order , and yet suck at our blood by declaring themselves ‘low caste’. The amount of animosity between low caste 1 and low caste 2 competing for the political and reservation windfall is unbelievable.
So twin benefits of reservation – enjoy a parasite’s life , and call yourselves oppressed and get the sympathies. How can anyone give up this paradise?
All in all, an upper caste would dance in the streets if we have a casteless society tomorrow and a lower caste would be shocked out of his wits by such an unpleasant development. So much for a caste oppressed society. Now our ‘unfortunate’ lower caste spokesmen understand how difficult it would indeed have been for the upper castes to give up the mythical power for centuries, of whatever sort they enjoyed.
Abhishek,
Have you heard of Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal. Just google him and you find an another venom-spitting, muslim compassionate, Hindu-india bashing and paki ass licking jerk. He claims he is scholar from JNU and Indian govt owes him money for his retirement.
Abhishek,
You know what? This anti-Jawed article has become so popular that when I type “Jawed Naqvi” in google, this article comes on to the top.
Abhishekh,
I think reservations does have a role to play but whether 49% reservations makes sense is certainly questionable and the design of reservations is also relevant. Also, one does question the bonafides of people like Arjun Singh, so there I agree with you.
But the area I agree with you most is your criticism of Naqvi’s constant hate mongering on Dawn. As a proud Indian Muslim living in the US, this man was first brought to my attention by my Pakistani friends who sympathised with me for the poor plight of my family in India. I laughed and said I was really glad that my grandparents had chosen to stay back in India. I also informed her that Jinnah’s daughter also had chosen to stay back in India – a fact that she was quite unaware of. Anyway, once I realised the source of her bad information, I rad some of his articles and was completely aghast. People like Javed Naqvi drive an unnecessary wedge between Hindus and Muslims in India and I am certainly grateful to the likes of Maulana Madni who speak up for majority of Muslims.
This guy is completed deluded, or, he’s on Pakistan establishment’s payroll. What he presents is not news analysis, it’s vitriolic opinion. It’s propaganda of the worst kind. That said; Arundhati Roy does similar, and occasionally worse. Let’s just tolerate him in the spirit of free speech and expression. Instead of replying to him, it would be worthwhile setting up a website documenting and discrediting his lies. Lest his analysis end up as recorded history in this age of google.
I don’t think Ms. Roy should be placed in the same category as this journalist impersonator. We may disagree with her but she does her own leg-work (such as her interview with the Maoists) and her own thinking. This guy, on the other hand, is too lazy to even do the job which he has been hired to do for Dawn – be its corrspondent in New Delhi. He does mostly polemical and propaganda stuff using other people’s hardwork and ideas and contorting them to fit his own purposes.
Abhishek ,
Dont gloss it over about upper caste eqaulity and so on reservation were primarily meant for social justice ….not about poverty elivation … its not that simple , my theory is give f to all this all the lower caste should ask for seprate homeland , Guess wht i dont know who naqvi is …
ok guru, then give them jobs without pay, that will solve your problem about social justice without poverty alleviation,possibly a starving cabinet secretary limping to office in torn clothes and hollow eyes will be your poster boys of social justice
no dearth of little lalus in our land,mouthing inanities left and right to get fat and rich quick,why even lalu qualifies for reservation, all that means is no matter what anyone does for you, you will feel socially inferior, this is a virus you are born and will die with, maybe visit a pyschitarist, dont grab the seats of hard working biys
I have frequently read articles in Dawn in the last couple of years, including Jawed Naqvi’s articles. Initially I thought he was a typical Pakistani writer employed by Dawn to satisfy the cravings of the large number of anti-India, brainwashed-in-madarasa Pakistanis. It was a horror for me to realize that Jawed Naqvi spewed this venom sitting snugly right inside the capital of India! It may be foolish on the part of India and her citizens, but, this is a fine example of the famed tolerance of Indians!!
Can you imagine a journalist in Saudi Arabia, a country having scant regard for human rights, spewing such venom against the king and the people there? Ordinary Saudi citizens get “200 lashes” and get “stoned to death” for committing petty thefts and robberies there. It makes me wonder whether we Indians have become way too tolerant, to the extant of tolerating this bearded, spineless moron whose vitriolic vomit arises out of indoctrination of deep hate of Hindus and India.
And dawn, conveniently, provides no mechanism for readers to voice their opinions to the articles written by their columnists.
I feel that we Indians are ourselves to blame for this sorry state of affairs. Why cant a nation of 1 billion people take action against a smelly rat like Jawed who tries to divide our society?
One should try and understand why Javed writes such asinine articles for a Pakistani newspaper DAWN. The more such columnists become popular and are widely read and appreciated, the more money they can demand and make. What better way for Javed to make money than to write ill about India in a Pakistani newspaper. The Pakistanis love to read such articles it and Javed rakes in the moolah.
Javed is a complete communalist. As much as I try, I am not able to see any merit in his writings. I am in favor of Journalist pulling up Governments for the sake of transparency and benefit of the society. But his articles are highly communal and one sided, for example, recently he wrote that Pakistani democracy is better than India and in India is a Fascist state. He never seems to have taken examples beyond Muslim individuals (when you are expected to neutral as a journalist…. The only male film singer he seems to appreciate is Md.Rafi and seems to be taking only one non-Muslim name that is Ms. Roy). I completely agree that Pakistani journalists are far more balanced. Javed also writes that Indian middle class has become fundamentalist!!!..and Hitler is most sort of person in India!!! I think it is time that he needs to be sent to a country of his choice than being in a place which he hates so much.
brother javed our PM may be old but better than the puppets PM ,PRESIDENT of PAK.as they are made to dance by ISI{TERRORIST;FATHERS} AND ARMY OF PAK.JINNAH WAS T.B.PATAINT IN 1947
This man Jawed Naqvi is a pretender with potential…he does write well even though his content is full of schizophrenic inconsistencies. If he really wants to educate the masses on both sides of the border, I’d rather see him write about the common social problems that have plagued both countries—God knows they are innumerable—and give his take on how the societies in both geographies went about resolving them and how effectively. That way he’ll have the satisfaction of using his talent in educating both masses….and more importantly, himself.
I believe people like Jawed are jokers who speak the langauge of audience to appease them so that show is success, he is doing the same as Pakistanis are the audience in this case. He presents such a gloomy picture of Indian Muslim and their rights that he forgets the very fact that he is able to write such articles while living in India is a sufficient proof of safety and well being of Indian Muslims. He never points a finger towards Pakistan and let him do that and I challange him that he will be crucified in a special ceremony in Pakistan.
I loved the article written by Abhishek. I do read some articles written by this imbecile nincompoop, Jawed Naqvi. We should read such harsh articles as these would help us move forward.Pakistan has the habit of getting things from N.Korea/China. They have an excellent paint factory owned by Fauji foundation. All they have to do is paint “Made In Pakistan”, Why should we compare ourselves with them?? Our issue of Social injustice is as old as man himself.Reservation is not the solution, but grass toot education is important. In Canada, where I live and my children study, most schools are government run. The standard of education is an even field both for a CEO’s son and a painter/carpenter’s son. We need to build more of the Kendriya Vidyalaya type of school for general public!Create a desire in every Child to study and achieve!Our funds should focus on basic education,education research/ Medical facility. Let us forget the false grandeur and focus on the basics.
As long as Jawed Naqvi is in the job of the Dawn, there should be a website running to critically analyse all his thoughts and remarks. The majority of them are venomous anti-indian rants. What disgusts me that he is from India and got educated in Lucknow. Many in BJP see many muslims with doubt. He surely justifies that vision. An abhorrent ever present creep who have to spew all this venom for his existence rests on the pakistani pay pocket. One really need to watch this person if he is also encouraging others to change loyalty for Pakistan.
well ,i hve been also reading him for last 2-3 years.n wht i understood was ,’he is a hardcore marxist’.n that always percolates in his columns.Some times i dont agree n also get hurt(his latest article on anna hazare).But i am very proud of him.I dont know why.We can not forget that He is bridging for the peace bet 2 hostile countries ,so his articles ought to be balanced.I wud love to meet n listen him or also have debates(amicably) with him.
an interesting (and revealing) discussion indeed!
