So the Sahas have broken their caste more than once but can never break their gotra. Gotra I almost never use but I think of it as a line of descent. But I consider it more specific divisions of the main varna usually associated with a particular vocation. I very rarely use j’ati – I lazily use sub-caste or even more lazily use varna. I would tend to include ‘dalit’ though I know many Hindus wouldn’t. I tend to think of ‘varna’ as the main four divisions of brahman, kshatriya, vaishya and shudra. Your family looks like it has leap-frogged the kshatriyas and is continuing its ‘upwards’ caste mobility (not that I buy into that Laws of Manu stuff about some castes being above others). There is a fast bowling Bashya currently on the Bangladesh cricket team. In Bangladesh, one branch of Sahas surnamed ‘Bashya’ seems to have established themselves as sportsmen – so I guess that makes them kshatriya now. So they worked hard at cloth trading and – to a lesser extent – money lending and after many generations of resistance were eventually recognised as vaishyas (bania). They were skilled makers of alcoholic beverages and though originally assigned to the middle castes they were progressively demoted to a low shudra scheduled caste as alcohol fell out of favour during the middle ages.īut one sub-group of the Shunris, the Sahas, wasn’t wearing that. If the tidbits I’ve picked up on the internet today are to be believed about two and a half millenia ago a group of people called the Shunris arrived in Bengal from somewhere in South India (or Persia – sources disagree). Not by treating us like useless animals, but Humans ! Not by the yammer that ‘equal’ are women and men Not treated like toys not a source of lust, celebrated
I am waiting for the day when I would be respected Why is it thought as negative in today’s generation
Where is the respect, the purity Islam gave to women My heart cries when I see women’ right’s neglectedĪnd when in Quran I read all about them being awarded When I question why Islam is not there in Islamic states ? No one understands my agony, my misery, my prate They don’t remember ‘you reap what you sow’ When other boys do the same to them though To cover myself in this men-dominant regionįor their mothers and sisters they feel thrill I become a victim of bad comments, riot and rape I am a Muslim girl and this world is not for me These are the white people who make me failīy striking against the covering of women They can’t feel my pain, treat us like toys I am a Muslim Girl and this world is not for me Dedicated to all Muslim Girls and women of the world….
