2008-02-20 the worst pile of drivel you will come across
Ok. So maybe my title is a little harsh. BUT i've read all of Ms Minhas's previous books, and found them hillarious and witty. I think my favourite one is marriage market. However, exactly what was Ms Minhas thinking here?!!First of all there is the fact Ms Minhas loves writing about India, yet seems to have done literally no research into the culture, the language etc. For example, there is a reference to a Parveen Kaur - a gossip in India. Kaur is a Sikh surname and Parveen is a muslim one.
Then there is the little quotes in Hindi which as far as I know are not Hindi. The translation was atrocious and if anything, gibberish! I know Hindi fairly well and I didn't get it.
Then there is the religion bashing. To give her credit, Ms Minhas didn't just disrespect the religion of Islam, she ripped into other religions too. Yet as I was reading the book, I couldn't help but feel that Ms Minhas was the most disrespectful to Islam - references to Quran's being smuggled in nappies - not funny at all. And the whole scene where the main character burns the Quran was not even necessary in the writing of the book - it was just there, one minute the story's flowing and then bam! The character is burning the Quran.
I found that extremely offensive, and I'm sorry I even bought the book. I won't be reading you again.
Books are for entertainment, not conveying your misguided prejudices.
