Document Summary
Qawwali: sufi devotional music, popular in south asia, nusrat fateh ali khan. Ghazal heart-- wrenching poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets & refrain; always written from point of view of someone whose beloved is unattainable. Rumi & hafiz; and india: mirza ghalib & m. iqbal. The people of india and pakistan may have lived apart for 57 years, but their common history spans 5700 years. Thus it is only natural that we overcome our disputes and work together for the greater good of the region. Cultural relativism (cid:222) hallmark of anthropological theory and practice: also important for thinkers & writers like nigerian novelist chimmamanda ngozi adichie. Culture: the lens through which we view reality, means of organizing our perception into reality, ex. Time, space, identity to be blended into your surroundings: acculturated (cid:222) It seems to me we live in a world where it has become increasingly important to try and live in bodies not our own.
