The Culture Of Pakistan An Interview With Sohail Shah By Introdu

The Culture of Pakistan: An Interview with Sohail Shah by Introduction to Sociology, MTW 10am Mrs. Linda Cook February 15, 1995 I am constantly interested with others' societies. The New York or Californian culture consistently astounds me in spite of the fact that these states are in the United States. These regions of the country appear to be totally different than Texas. I don't have any companions that have as of late moved here from another culture in this way, I set out to my local Stop N Go. The agents at this comfort store are all from different nations. One agent whom I have conversed with commonly, named Sohail Shah, consistently talked about Pakistan. I regularly tuned in to his accounts of being in the Karachi police power or of Pakistan's various traditions. Sohail Shah, a multi year old male agent at the Stop N Go situated on North Braeswood close to Chimney Rock, has been in the United States for a long time. He moved here with his significant other and two youngsters to get away from discipline. Sohail claims he was in the mystery police securing the president when numerous administrative changes were made. A large number of his collaborators were placed in prison for a long time for reasons he would not transparently talk about. He needs to maintain two sources of income since his significant other doesn't work. As per Mr. Shah, she will never work. In Pakistan, ladies are to remain at home and bring up kids. Right now, Sohail is watching the heavenly month of fasting called Ramadan. This is seen during the ninth month of the Islamic year and is appointed by the Koran, the Islam sacred book. The fasting starts each morning at sunrise and closures quickly at dusk. Muslims can't eat, drink or smoke by any stretch of the imagination. At night, standard exercises continue. The Islam driven culture of Pakistan shapes regular day to day existence. Every day, all Muslims supplicate multiple times. The first is before dawn, the second around early afte rnoon, the third in the late evening, the fourth following nightfall, and the fifth before resigning and before 12 PM. They face the Kaaba, which is a little box in Mecca. Regardless of where a Muslim is, he will delay, face the East, and ask when the time has come. When Sohail lived in Pakistan, he lived in a house with his entire family. As a grown-up, he lived with his folks and kin just as his significant other and kids. The house was enormous enough to oblige more than fourteen individuals. All the ladies remained at home to keep up the house and get ready dinners. In the event that the ladies were to go to the market, they would totally cover themselves with the exception of their eyes. Ladies were not to be found out in the open without covers. Additionally, the spouses trust that their husbands will get back home before eating. The Koran favors of polygamy, permitting up to four spouses. In the event that a Pakistani chooses to wed a subsequent spouse, his first wife must su pport of her. Shah says polygamy isn't normal in Pakistan. A run of the mill day in Pakistan for Shah was to wake up before dawn and ask. His significant other would plan breakfast for him before he left for work. He would leave for his police work when a shielded truck halted at his home. He was an official in the police power before being elevated to the mystery police. Shah rode around Karachi, the biggest city in Pakistan, in the truck with twelve other rifle conveying cops the whole day. Despite the fact that there is about zero wrongdoing in Pakistan, the danger of fear based oppression keeps the police occupied. The wrongdoing circumstance depends on serious disciplines, for example, removal of a hand for taking. Moreover, the individuals of Pakistan have an exceptionally solid heart. Individuals leave their homes and organizations opened while away. When Sohail got back, his better half would eat effectively made for him and his whole family would eat when all the men came b ack from work. While the men are away, the ladies deal with the kids, prepare bread, and make stoneware or crates to sell at the market. His huge family would then talk about various subjects of enthusiasm before resigning. I found that the memorial service game plans are to some degree weird. In the first place, ladies may go to the wake when
