Re: [ChatMasti] Gujarta Hai Waqt Inhi Khayalo Mein

Here is a letter to the editor in chief of Mid-Day, which had printed an article on Feb 1, 2012 with several misstatements on Jain monks. We request all those who disagree with the claims made in the said article, to write directly to the editor at Mid-Day.

To, 
The Editor - in - chief
Mid-day
This refers your article -  Plain Jains on Feb 1, 2012
Looks like Mid-day has lost sensibilities to religious practices or its editorials checks are pathetic.
How can it talk of begging bowls being kept by Jain monks - there is a difference in begging and collecting food from householders. The very fact that Jain monks do not even keep utensils for cooking is a symbol of their ability to detach from ownership issues. They do not step inside a house unless invited. To call this begging is a sheer insult to the pious religious practice of not being attached to one's food as well. How many human's can practice this?
Then in a photograph the act of cleansing clothes by monks is depicted as cooking food. Please understand Jain monks do not cook food.
Such photo features should have been published after proper understanding of the religion and with due editorial review. Such features as far as they depict things correctly and improve understanding of the religion is fine, but should not be used for entertainment purposes with misstated facts.
Midday needs to apologise to the followers of jain religion in equally bold way that they demeaned them and hurt them - no small print please. If not we can go to the extent of filing a case
for hurting religious sentiments, complain to  the information ministry requesting them to cancel your licenses or protest through our proven non violent ways. (Please do not forget Gandhiji'sguru Shrimad Rajchandra was also a Jain and hence non violent but effective ways of protest is not new to us). 

Please email us back with your action taken to avoid unnecessary legal action.

Best Regards,

الامير الصغير

Gujarta Hai Waqt Ab Khayalo Mein Inhi,

Ki Kal Kya Hoga Kuch Pata Hi Nahi,


Main Gujar Bhi Jaaun Agar Unke Ghar Se,

Mere Aane Ki Unhen Khabar Hogi Ya Nahi,


Kuch Shikwa Bhi Nahi Karta Dil Mera,

Ab To Aankhon Se Ashk Girte Hi Nahi,


Sar-E Bazar Hue Jo Ruswa Yaaron,

Aalam-E-Madhoshi Ke Gunahgaar Nahi,


Wada-E-Wafa Nibhaya Hai Bahut Khoob,

Ki Waado Pe Bhi Humein Ab Aitbaar Nahi.

I am strong follower of Jainism.I am very dishearten to see the article in Mid Day. I don't understand how can mid day say this without investigating. A Sheer Same for media. Are you aware that you have insulted whole jain community. Let me tell you that we have tremendous respect for our gurus and acharyas and any non sense about our religion or gurus would not be tolerated. we would agitate if you dont apologize. to hurt a religious sentiment is a criminal offence. i hope you must be aware of it. So better you apologise.

Every posts in news paper/ magazine should be preceded by an investigation & should be perfect & true & by saying it BEGGING Midday has hurt whole jain community & they need to publicly apologize for their offence.How can they say themselves as reliable media if they dont investigate & publish such nonsense?Apologize or stay ready to face legal actions.
