Appendix - 01

Ma’s ivory skin gleamed around her brilliant amber eyes. We looked so alike that

she was a vision of my old age and I a vision of her youth.

Ma also announced, ‘ It is a blessing from our Pir. She became the Pir’s mureed

after hearing innumerable accounts of his miraculous feats. On her last visit to his

far- off village, she had taken all three of us along with her and told us, ‘You

don’t need to cover your faces before Pir Sain. He is too holy for that.’

The Pir’s room had been full of waiting women and children squatting on the

floor, and so Ma had to tell him as many problems as she could in the few

moments bestowed on her. She cried and begged him to pray that her daughters

get good offers of marriage.

‘Pray that the burden of these girls be lifted from my tired shoulders, Sain,’ she

implored, and the Pir had put his hand on our heads, turn by turn. Staring at me,

he had said to Ma, ‘She will not be a burden to you. Her beauty is a rare asset.

Ma was ecstatic. The holy man had made a prophecy.

Now she was overwhelmed at it coming true.

‘The family has an impeccable bloodline,’ she exclaimed.

My friend Chandi had told me that.

Ma’s voice was becoming characteristically shrill.

‘He never married because nobody was good enough for him. He is much older

than you, may be eighteen years or so.’

I did not know that. I had thought Ranjha was much younger because he was still

a college.

‘They observe purdah and are are deeply religious. They live in their village. Why

should they want to live in this dirty city when they have a kingdom of their

own?’ she declared.

My heart was pounding. I was not listening, only wondering whether Chandi’s

family also observed strict purdah and lived in a village.

Ma continued, ‘We are extremely lucky. After your father’s death, people did not

think we were worth anything. Your marriage will restore our dignity in the

community. Your sisters will marry well and your brother will get a good girl and

a good job. Our status will improve tremendously. I even like his name. It sounds

so very powerful. And, a last she uttered it.

(Durrani 1999: 24-25)

Stripped naked, i felt a mountain of flesh descend on me. A fisherman, hopeful of

profit and safety, had set out to sea on a bright day. Suddenly, clouds thickened

and collided. Black rain poured into the ocean. Thunder and lightening drove the

vast expanse of water wild. Its volume and anger swelled. The noise down below

was even louder. The air was solid. There was no escape.

None.

With only the sheer will to be, I remained alive, barely. He had commenced our

wedding night with an animal haste for food and ended it satiated. The shrill ring

of the early morning alarm shrieked and i jumped up like a frightened bird. Did I

sleep that night or was it some kind of death? We had celebrated it, my loved ones

had joyfully sung and danced for it, I had been beautified days ahead for it,

enhanced in every possible way. Why? To tempt like a sorceress and unleash

upon myself this madness, this cruelty? It seemed evil now.

The preparation, the rituals, the ceremony and the slaughter. I had been sacrificed

to a god on earth. The contract had signed away my life. Its terms were specified

by our faith, sealed with social and familial norms and this, our first night, had

been its first dawn. Was this repeated in every corner of the world over and over

again?

(Durrani 1999:39)

Appendix - 03

The story of another pir, who gave sons to barren mothers only to have them

taken away and absorbed into the system of his shrine, made the shudder. At

birth, the child’s head was fitted into an iron cage, so that the body grew while the

head did not. Because they grew up to look like rats they were called chuhas and

forced to beg for alms; an army of deformed beggars was bred.

These stories confirmed that I was not alone. There were so many other like us.

As a member of a similar shrine, I wondered what was happening to their women.

Faceless and nameless, they must all be trapped like me.

Pir Sain ruled over his trapped people. He could demand and extract anything

from anyone. Considered to be direct link between the Almighty and the wretched

people believed that his intervention could even alter what Allah had fated for

them.

That made them worship him.

Amma Sain had told me, ‘We are the direct descendants of the Propher. The

power of the shrine is fourteen hundred years old. It cannot be challenged.’

A langar distributing free food strongly aligned and attracted the poor to the

Shrine. They traveled with meager resources for days, weeks, months, sometimes

on foot and sometimes on bullock or donkey carts. If Pir Sain was ever sighted,

they would rin to fall at his feet and kiss them until the khalifa forcefully pushed

them away.

Imploring him to diminish the strength of their enemies or subjugate their

oppressor with the power of his word, they gave supplications for employment,

health , marriage, and every conceivable human need that they could not fulfill

themselves.

Pleading over the limp bodies of their sickly children, people begged for the water

Pir Sain had used for ablution to make them well. They fell over each other to

grab the bones he had chewed the meat off, so that they could grind them into a

sacred medicinal powder. They collected the earth on which he had stepped and

sprinkled it across their doorsteps for protection.

They even salvaged his sputum when he spat.

My husband never showed any signs of emotion but nobody thought that he might

be devoid of them. The distance he kept from people was considered godly.

Nobody imagined that it could be a mask. His presence was so powerful that

whoever dared to look into his eyes was hypnotized by their strange lights. They

were convinced it was the light of God.

(Durrani 1999: 61-62)

I noticed that Gori’s fair skin was too delicate. Surely it would char in the heat of

our summer. It seemed to have born kind winters with discomfort, in the sharp

winds here, it would tear. Nor had she tasted the venom of a man, the poison

inside Pir Sain would kill her. Gori seemed frail and helpless to me. Her world

had made her weak. Mine had made me strong. When she asked me if anyone

here was educated, I remembered Amma Sain’s wise words about us and repeated

them; Assi pare hoe nai, pur asi karrhey hoe hain.’ Her translator told her, she

says that although we are not educated, we are condensed with experience.’

Gori thought I was very intelligent. I wanted to know if she was intelligent too.

Noticing her every moment, I followed every word she said and discovered that

she was a jouranalist. But I have sworn not to write about Pir Sain”s women”, she

explained, ”Pir allowed me to write only about the men. That made me ask her

what she had understood about the shrine. I wanted to know how perceptive her

wide exposure had made her, I also wanted to know what its lack had made me

.Gori’s skin gleamed, “The people love ur husband. I see it in the way their eyes

light up when they catch a glimpse of him. I pricked up my ears. She was not

looking deep enough. They are so devoted to him,” she swooned, and I thought,

that she had passed judgment and drawn a conclusion without realizing that there

is always a cruel meth od behind undying devotion. Could she not see the terror in

our eyes. I have met him”.

‘Your husband is so humble despite being all powerful. Its such an honor to She

declared. What else?’’ I inquired and she had more words of praise for him.

“There is purity on his face .He is serene and peaceful. He works miracles. I have

heard it from so many of his supplicants.” I couldn’t help glaring at her when she

exclaimed,’ So much tranquility in the midst of poverty can only mean one thing

He provides the people with something divine.” Fool, I thought

She was after all, English. Her ancestors had cleverly converted Muslims into

grave-worshippers and vanished from the scene. Did she not know about that? I

wanted to tell her Toti’s but didn’t dare. My mood blackened with the frustration

of having to keep silent despite having so much to say. I shrivleled up like a dried

leaf and slumped deep into my chair to mourn for Sakhi baba and burn with

jealousy against Yatimri again.

(Durrani 1999: 151-152)

Appendix- 05

Sadly, stepping out meant nothing. Cheel’s presence, my husband’s company, the

darkness of a tunnel, and the two small net holes in my burqa let nothing through.

I counted five hundred and sixty two steps to our destination.

We passed a room with an intricate patterned carpet below and a crystal

chandelier above. Before we went through another door, Pir Sain told me to

remove my burqa. I held my breath as a fat man with a big curled moustache

jumped off the bed. He walked towards me, exclaiming loudly to my husband,

‘Sain, baadshah, you are the greatest. What a find! What a rare jewel!’ His big

hairy arm circled my waist like an octopus’s. His drunken eyes rolled as he

drooled and slurred around my neck, mumbling, ‘Where did the master discover

you, my jewel? Where were you all my life?’ My husband’s laughter repulsed me

even more than his friend’s blubbery lips.

He was the jagirdar.

A man commanding the respect of a king.

These custodians of the people, revered for adherence to the faith, were

concealing their sins under my burqa. It allowed them to introduce me as a whore

from the city because no one had ever laid eyes on the venerable wife of the pir.

While the jagirdar’s fat fingers ran like black rats over my naked body, my mind

was consumed with the idea of purdah. From behind it no call for help could be

heard. An abandoned species was trapped in a forbidden world. Every thing

corrupt happened under the shroud, when it was off, a faceless and nameless

woman appeared.

The jagirdar’s thick lips slurped around my ear and I shouted and screamed

inside, ‘Know who I am, you son of a pig ! See who I am!’

Page 9: APPENDICESshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/10427/12/12_appendice… · Ma continued, ‘We are extremely lucky. After your father’s death, people did not think we were

I was up and down and over the craggy mountain of flesh, thinking only of purdah

draping the sins of men. The burqa had become a licence for corrupt men, A

tonne of flesh compressed me and I thought of so many more women buried

under the same crimes . I cried inside myself to the jagirdar, ‘Open your eyes,

you idiot! I’m the master’s wife. The mother of his children. See me. I’m naked

enough .

Know me.’

(Durrani 1999:164-165)

Appendix – 06

As young feudal lords, Mustafa and his brothers had few worries concerning legal

and societal proscriptions. The feudal system is a carry over from the time when

the British ruled the whole of south central Asia. By bestowing land and absolute

power upon certain ‘loyal’ individuals, the ‘white masters’ were able to control

the country’s multitudes with relatively little effort. With the passage of time, the

privileged few multiplied their wealth exploring the feudal practices of tenant

farming and arbitrary taxation. Feudalism was a license to plunder, rape and even

murder. The rich got richer; the poor despaired .

In the areas that were later to become Pakistan, some feudal families

utilized Islam as a weapon of control. The patriarchs were venerated as holy men,

who spoke with Allah. And, indeed, at some earlier time many were pious and

righteous. But gradually power passed to elder sons revered by the illiterate

people of the area and perceived as ‘envoys of Allah’. They had the authority to

justify their every deed on the basis of their own, quite convenient, interpretation

of the Koran. A feudal lord was an absolute ruler who could justify any action.

When British rule ended in 1947, the stage was set for at least a half

century of turmoil. The vast holdings of the commonwealth were divided along

religious lines. The Hindu strong hold became India. Muslim Pakistan was a

country like no other in the world, divided into two slabs of land by the immense

impediment of India.

Democracy took hold in India and the feudal system collapsed. But in Pakistan,

although lip service was paid to democratic principals, feudal lords remained in

control. It was they who decided who would sit in the National Assembly and

who would reside in the prime minister’s house .

(Durrani 1995:40-41)

However, gradually the relationship between Bhutto and Mustafa grew strained.

The Chief Minister of the Punjab was now politician in his own right, emerging

from the shadow of his mentor. Bhutto knew that the Punjab, being the largest

province, was the vote bank of Pakistan, and thus the backbone of the People’s

Party; he could not afford to lose it to his own Frankenstein monster. Everywhere

Mustafa went he was greeted with the slogan Sher e Punjab(‘Lion of the Punjab’),

and he acted the part of the number two man in Pakistan, which persuade him to

go his own way in politics- and, if he believed himself to be the number two man,

there was only one job to which he could aspire.

Indeed there was reason to worry. Bhutto had many enemies. People with vested

interests, regarded his theories of Islamic socialism as anathema. They realized

that if the Punjab could be extricated from Bhutto’s control he would fall, and

they started to form a wedge between two men. Mustafa also began to undertake

crucial initiatives without first clearing them with the prime minister.

Disagreements sprang up both on policy matters and personnel appointments. If

Bhutto rejected Mustafa’s nominees, Mustafa sulked and turned down the

alternatives presented by Bhutto. He developed a strong political personality of

his own. Islamabad was a buzz with stories of his megalomania: he was rumoured

to have said that he would be the next prime minister; the people of the Punjab

would catapult him into power. Butto’s advisers suggested to him that two swords

could not be accommodated in one scabbard.

Bhutto loved Mustafa like his own son and tried to admonish him like a

father. In return Mustafa pleaded his case. He argued that his emergence as a

leader in his own right would enhance Bhutto’s rule. A prime minister could not

be expected to oversee everything; the People’s party needed a strong second- line

Page 12: APPENDICESshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/10427/12/12_appendice… · Ma continued, ‘We are extremely lucky. After your father’s death, people did not think we were

leader-ship. On several occasions Mustafa reaffirmed his loyalty and support to

Bhutto as well as to the party, but his pledges did not hold water. He referred to

himself as Bhutto’s shock-absorber. ‘I take the flak and criticism upon myself,’ he

proclaimed. ‘I do not direct it towards you.’ But Bhutto knew that Mustafa was

chipping away at his power base.

(Durrani 1995: 53-55)

I began shouting for Bilal’s help. Mustafa only stopped when he saw evidence of

obvious damage. Some of his blows were errant. My mouth showed blood. ‘Ring

up your mother this instant!’ he raged. ‘Tell her you are mad. Tell her you made

up everything . Pick up the phone!’

‘I – I can’t do that,’ I sobbed. ‘She will never believe me. I can’t change my story.

She will suspect-‘

The force of his blow interrupted me. ‘Stand up, you bitch!’ he commanded.

There was a new, ominous, more methodical timbre to his voice. ‘Stand up.’

I was barely able to rise, but I did as he ordered.

‘Take off your clothes,’ he shouted. ‘Every stitch.

‘Take…them…off.’

I trembled, clutching at the cloth of my baggy shirt, and when he saw that I could

not respond he grabbed one arm and twisted it behind my back until I shrieked in

pain and screamed that I would obey.

He backed off and sat in an armchair. He watched as I slowly began to remove

my shirt.

Again I was aware of the emptiness of the room, but this time it looked unsafe.

There was no place to hide, nothing to which I could cling. I slipped out of my

trousers. Clad only in a bra and panties, I started at him, pleading, begging, crying

for him to allow me to stop. But there was not reprieve. I felt blood drying on my

swollen lips and nose. With trembling fingers. I pulled off my underclothes.

He sat in the chair with his arms extended on either side, like a king on his throne.

His eyes ran up and down my naked body, invading. His expression was grim, his

lips tightly pursed. His eyes narrowed, searching, glinting, gloating.

Never before had I felt so totally humiliated, so utterly controlled. I could see on

his face the awareness of the importance of the moment. This episode would

cripple my spirit-perhaps beyond salvation. From this moment forward, it would

Page 14: APPENDICESshodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/10427/12/12_appendice… · Ma continued, ‘We are extremely lucky. After your father’s death, people did not think we were

305

be nearly impossible for me to function as an individual. There was not one iota

of self-esteem left. The shame had burned it down to ashes. I was exposed as

nothing.

‘Please, Mustafa,’ I cried, ‘for the sake of Prophet, let me wear my clothes.’

‘Pick up the phone. Make the call first. Then we will see.’

‘How I can call without my clothes? Please, let me put them on first.’

He hurled profanity at me. He dragged my family through the gutter. Emptiness

engulfed my senses. I could not reach out to anything. I could barely stand. My

knees knocked against each other. My hands and arms were not sufficient to cover

my nakedness. I wanted to grasp something. I tried to kneel on the floor, but as I

bent my knees, he screamed. I rose immediately.

I stood there for many moments, begging and pleading, invoking the names of

Allah and Prophet.

(Durrani 1995:164-165)

In Marbella, I tried to let my past sink away into the deep blue Spanish sea. I

visited a health resort daily’ lazed about and forced memories out of mind. I

brought clothes and shoes – too many- for me and the children.

The days passed over me like a balmy wind.

I heard that Mustafa was shattered. In keeping with the image of a jilted lover, he

grew a beard. He cut a sorry figure, traipsing back and forth among the homes of

our many friends, weeping and wailing, trying to convince them to persuade me

to return. He drank heavily. He spoke to strangers on the street about the wife

whom he loved, who had deserted him. He met Asim and fell at his feet, begging

my brother to mediate. He called my mother- for the first time since the Adila

episode had burst into the open- and pleaded for forgiveness.

He won crucial sympathy votes. Friends phoned to convince me that he had

changed. My family members urged that I give the marriage another try, for the

sake of children. Even my mother switched sides. I was amazed to hear her

injudiciously weigh the pros and cons; I knew why: she was unused to Mustafa in

the role of the pitiful child. I knew how convincing the false act was, but no one

else did. Everyone saw a strong man dissolve into tears at the mention of my

name. They saw him humble and repentant. They saw him grovel, and believed

that he had actually changed.

The exuberance of my liberation began to dissipate. I did not want to live the rest

of my life as a two time divorcee, and I wanted my children to be raised in a

stable home, if that was possible. Darker fears beset me, with petulance and

remorse, but I worried what turn his personality might take if these tactics failed.

Long ago I had buried my physical fears, but when I stared at the innocent faces

of my sleeping children, I sometimes shudder.

(Durrani 1995: 222- 223)

Appendix- 10

I gulped back tears, pretending to be unaffected. The poet Ghalib’s verse flitted

through my mind:

Your taunts chip away my identity.

No-one speaks of me with such audacity.

That evening at home alone, Mustafa’s words stung me. I rethought my life,

trying to define my reality. I was no longer Mrs Mustafa Khar. I had been

discarded and spat out like sugar cane chaff. He has done everything he could to

destroy me and he had very nearly succeeded. A few more doses of Mustafa and

my spirit would have died for ever.

Many people had suggested that I keep his surname as it was the name by which I

was known. I was repelled by that, and in any case I did not want to lean on a

pillar that had fallen upon me instead of supporting me. But if I was not Mrs

Mustafa Khar, who was I? The Tehmina Durrani of my childhood was an alien to

me, a confused little girl whom I had outgrown. I could not relate to her. Was

there a new Tehmina Durrani inside me, older and sadder, but also wiser?

Sitting alone with my scattered thoughts, I conjectured that fate had placed me on

his torturous path for a purpose. Our closed society considered it obscene for a

woman to reveal her intimate secrets, but would not silence be greater crime?

Silence condones in justice, breeds subservience and fosters a malignant

hypocrisy. Mustafa Khar and other feudal lirds thrive and multiply in silence.

Muslim women must learn to raise their voices against injustice. For me

conventional politics was no longer the answer. In Pakistan, the system is merely

used to hoodwink further those who are already exploited. I realized that I could

do no greater service for my country and our people than to expose the

camouflage.

I was determined not to waste thirteen years of my life.

I decided to cast a stone at hypocrisy.

I decided to write this book and break the traditional silence.
