Al Bakistanis and the stupid look

[Screambowl]

people from arab who migrated to india before islam they also have arab ancestry but this does not make them islamic. culture is different religion is different.

The author thinks that as some bozos have started a trend of having arabic looking number plates this shows we are trying to be like arabs hence the term al-bakistani
My point is having euro style number plates are far more popular here so what does that make us??
There is nothing special about these number plates apart from someone reading too much into it!

well there is fascination and a tiny bit of reverence(wrt arabs) among subcontinent muslims, not particularly in pakistan. Its mostly due to religion. I dont see why it will be a big deal.

How did you find it? I only found some scenes funny other then that it is a rip off from Goodness gracious me.

It became predictably repetitive after a while, but the basic portrayals of the characters were quite pithy.

Lot of Arabs inter-married with Pakistanis. Many Pakistanis have some arab facial features.

Arabs dont marry with non arabs to qualify for the word "lot or many"

Males one did and still do.

sorry.. but I did not find it funny... adil's acting was good but it was too slapstick. There was never any surprise.

I only watched like an episode or two to see what the fuss was about. I didn't like it either, but it accurately potrayed sme of the traits of British Pakistanis and Asians in Britain in general, that was my point.

There were news about Arabs coming down to Hyd, marry young girls for few days and leave them? was there some truth in them or were they blown out of proportion?

That is called mutah marriage.

 

[ranjeet]

That is called mutah marriage.

Well whatever it's called, girls shouldn't be used like that. Glad that it largely stopped now.

That is called mutah marriage.

thats only shia practice right?
we are talking about welthy old tharki arabs marrying teenage girls.. by paying money to their parents.

 

[Not Sure]

The author needs to be corrected on common knowledge.

Ratan Tata is not the founder of Tata Steel. It was Sir Dorabji Tata.

Ratan Tata did become Chairman of Tata Sons in 1991.

And the quote is not nonsensical. It was made in reference to reshaping of Tata Sons and acquiring of Corus Steel.

The quote was made by him in reference to two incidents: First when he fired Russi Modi along with others from Tata Sons in his bid to save the corporation from corruption and decay. All the shareholders were against this move, which was considered suicidal, but he managed purify the company and expand it even further, stating that he acted on the need of the hour and was ready to go to any extent to expand the diversity of the company. Second incident happened when Tata Steel made a bid to take over Corus. Corus was a much larger corporation than Tata Steel itself, and with Mittal-Arcelor wanting to expand further, it was feared that Mittal's visit to India would result in shareholders wanting to leave Tata Sons and join Mittal Arcelor. For this, he and Pallonji Mistry quickly bought as many shares as they could, and Mittal left after making a few brief rounds of Odisha mines.

If people fail to comprehend what Ratan Tata meant, then most likely the problem lies within themselves.
