There is something terribly wrong with the basic structure of Islam as it relates to the women. This fight over the bill in Pakistan to alter the mischief of Hadood Ordinance is one such example. Here is the description of Hudood Ordinance on Wikipedia:

The Ordinance is most criticized for making it exceptionally difficult and dangerous to prove an allegation of rape. A woman alleging rape is required to provide four adult male witnesses of "the act of penetration", and if the accused man is Muslim, the witnesses must be Muslims themselves. Failure to prove rape places the woman at risk of prosecution for adultery, which does not require such strong evidence[1].

Diwali is the time for rejuvenation.  Of relations, space and our very energies.  For someone who has grown up spending every Diwali with the family, being alone on that day is a devastating thing.  When I first came to US way back in 1997, it was in August as the summer was at its peak.  Soon the fall came and then came the cooler nights.  There was hardly anyone to talk to those days and things Indian seemed a far cry.  The US had not seen the hordes of Indians that came in during the early 2000s.  I still remember making a regular weekend trip to a grocery store in Houston’s Hillcroft area which sold a lot of music CDs.  Just to listen to the Hindi and Punjabi songs when alone.

That Diwali, I was working at the office.  Unlike this year, when the entire office is going to celebrate Diwali, in those times no one cared for Indian festivals in the US.  It was a quiet and lonely Diwali.  The streets were empty, there were no sweets at home, no one sent any either, not a single friend around to go out and enjoy the evening with.  Being afraid of the Apartment policies, one didn’t even light lamps or candles.  The traditional diyas were nowhere to be found anyway.   Even a day like Diwali was an insipid one with no excitement!
