Double Amazing
(via No More Turning Left)
From the Times, a harrowing and quite amazing story of human endurance and persecution.
Though the cynical part of me that notices these things points out that throughout the entire diatribe against the evils of forced marriage and honour killings, nobody manages to mention the I-word or the M-word even once, even though the fact that the fiance intended to be forced on 'Zena' was from Kashmir, not exactly an area known for its Buddhist or Jewish affiliations.
Now that's DOUBLE amazing.
