whats that? whats the video about? how its related to pashtun culture? does she spaek about our culture?

[IamDZJ]

it's related to my ( i don't know about yours) culture in the sense that she values the man that she loves in the same manners as i value mine and the same manner that i would expect other muslim women value theirs. she is talking about the life she shared with the most wonderful man she could have ever spent her life with.

why don't you say that i am racist and i don't like the fact that i don't have a clue as to what she is saying so then i could tell to get lost and then we all carry on with our lives?
because i don't recall asking any one to substitute this example in to their lives with the one their mothers or sisters have provided them with.

Id appreciate it if you can translate what they say, I am very interested.

She’s basically praising her husband, named Ishfaq Ahmad, for the great man that he was while at the same time wishing that he’d taught her certain things about life that she learned only after he passed away.
Rough translation of (parts of) her speech:

"I’ve nothing better to say to you people. … I can openly say to you all that Ishfaq Ahmad was my veil as well as my prison.... [[Goes to say how good a man he was, how he taught her values and morals that helped other people, especially women/mothers/sisters/daughters/friends.]] After his passing away, I have no one to fight for me, no one to save me from others, no one to step up for me, no one to take the bullet for me. (But) now I (also) know how this whole taxing, billing, money order stuff works. The money order contains his name at the bottom, and I don't even know what money order was. I don't know how to write a check.... And now I understand how he harmed me; he left me ignorant of such matters. He used to tell me that I don't need to go serve as a witness in court for anything, that that was his job, that he'll take care of all matters outside of the house. Because he sheltered me so much, I realize how difficult life is for me now. I now have to deal with things I don't understand at all. [[Says other similar things. And then goes on to talk about his good relationship with his friends and other people.]] There was something in Isfhaq Ahmad that even he didn't know about. No one really understood him, but he was a great man. And yet, he didn't know that he was such a great man.... But I must tell you that if a man because arrogant because of the importance that people give him, then know that he's out to cause trouble. Ishfaq Ahmad was so admired because he never caused anyone any trouble, he was humble, and he was never dependent on anyone else. In fact, even if he was in need of help at the same time that someone else needed his help, he'd go to help the other person while completely ignoring his own needs. For other people (when others needed help), he'd go even as far as beg others to help those in need, but for himself, he never did such a thing; he never begged anyone to help him or give him anything he needed....[[Goes on to say similar things, ending with how honorable he
was and how he had honor.]]


That's pretty much it, James.


I'd say she's being very honest, and I like that. Not too many of us would openly mention ANYTHING negative about the ones we love and will even exaggerate the good qualities they posses(ed). She, however, while elaborating on the good qualities with pride and dignity, does not neglect his bad side.
