Help me here,
I read the article, and I keep seeing Hindu mentioned. Where does it say he's a Muslim education official? (not being contentious, I just can't seem to find that).

India doesn't have burkas and veils.
That's the Middle East.

The ignorance is par for the course.
a. India is South Asia.
b. It's primarily Hindu (as in the article).
c. The customary dress is very different-- with articles like saris, cholis etc as part of the dress. No burkas, no veils.
d. The the India language and subsequent accent is very different from that of the ME.
e. And to really put a stick in the fire, each country of the ME has a different dress, language or at least dialect.
Geez, this goes right up there with "Them there dark skinned folks all look alike."

I love saris. I fact, I buy them now instead of regular fabric. I wish we had fabrics like that here :)

'Khan' is a Mughal-origin, Muslim surname, commonly used in India.
Only Muslims in India have Khan as a surname.

I so agree! I had some pillows and a screen made from some saris a friend brought back on a trip to India. Gorgeous! The tapestries are also stunning!

Snicker snicker - it's in the Bible! My kids go hysterical when we sing What child is this? at Christmas and get to the part that says where ox and ass are feeding.

Written by Gopalprasad Vyas, an eminent Hindi satirist and Padma Shri winner..., the 'offending' chapter has attracted the ire of activists a year after it was introduced in the book.
"In retaliation, Mrs. Vyas swore off sex with the writer the remainder of his days, leading him to write the classic Hindi tear-jerker: 'Whose Sari Now?'."
