The All India Muslim Personal Board
With due respect
to the miseries and sufferings
of the Indian Muslim womanhood
is stubbornly immune
each canary singing a different tune
the saintliness of an Indian Muslim Woman
buried in an Arabian sand dune
the hijab is only an outer excuse
to batter and shatter women and abuse
hide the inner blows and the bruise
a conspiratorial ruse ..always in the news
the western world amuse
the head of a Delhi Mosque
a man of his stature more caricature
hell break lose
uses words of denigration
to an actors profession ..
calling her a dancer ..
because she spoke against the hijab..
blows a fuse ..a tempestuous temperament
that saved the gander to kill the goose
remember words on Vande Matram
Mother worship and motherland
more hate less love to confuse
political survival muslim vote rescues
mutual coexistence
between muslims and hindus
beyond religious segregation
nationality living in peace produce..
muslim women in a male dominated society
was born to wear the hijab like a noose
on this issue no debate no truce
hijab as a garment of modesty
she should choose .. the severity
of being treated as pawn she should refuse
making the hijab a political issue
a thought so abstruse
a garment of oppression
according to Taslima Nasreen
is her way of being
a Bangledeshi recluse
she says burn the hijab
that certainly is bad news
an Indian ethos she cant seduce.
she Taslima Nasreen should be deported
To Bangladesh to add fire
to a fundamentalist fuse
the new Indian Muslim woman
into her Freedom of Choice
within religious parameter
a new blood transfuse
a new muslim society
based on equality
a new breakthrough.


I think there are more important issues that plague Muslim women that should be placed on priority in changing times women education, equality respect for their gender is of greater importance..I am indeed impressed by the work done by Maulana Kalbe Saddiq Saab in emancipating the Muslim Women with his highly scientific approach specially through compulsory education
