Call me a cynic..

But on the frontpage of the Boston news, I saw this picture, and I couldn't help notice they looked very very poor. Yet they were crying for someone who looted them personally. Not only that, the whole act of crying so emotionally for someone they never met, like it was a relative, seems amazingly staged. Here is the picture from Boston News captioned "Supporters of Pakistan's slain opposition leader Benazir Bhutto mourn at her residence in Karachi, Pakistan on Saturday, Jan. 5, 2008". What do you think? Are the poor people being paid to act for the cameras by PPP?



It's a conspiracy. But why would anyone cry so much as in that photo for someone that had looted the country and their own wealth? And why are they always poor people doing the crying? Are they more emotionally disturbed than richer people? It's just some thoughts I had, feel free to delete the thread if you like, just wondering what others thought, whether such pictures are stage managed.

I had heared in rural Sindh well there are some women groups who mourn over deaths against some payments. Mostly the Feudals hire the services of these groups to perform heart-piercing baan (mourn) over the death of some close relative to make it more tragic.

Well dont know how much it is true.

It's just that one on the left..weeks after BB is killed she's there crying her eyes out, like she's lost a close relative. She's even hugging the other woman like she's going to faint or something! Lucky a camera was there to pick up this tragic scene so it could be beamed to the rest of the world

I understand some women to be more emotional, I understand some forms of hysteria occurring..But over BB? I don't think any sane person would, let alone any poor person who she herself robbed personally.

that is why there was no emotional scence on December 28th at least in NWFP and particularly in Peshawar i dint see any.

Even the violence was on only night of December 27th and that too was for looting purpose and not for mourning in real for her.

Hey wait Roady

where are the tears in this pic

 

[IceCold]

Its just a stage set to show the world and the pakistani public mostly who watched the incident on TV about how popular BB was and how sad the nation is for her death. You can pay anyone these days and he/she will do anything( poor people i'm talking about)

Anyone seen 'Rudali'?

They are professional women who cry on such occassions. Guess, some of them are found in Rajasthan too.

If she was given the chance in the elections, we would know for sure.

But then the terrorists it appears were afraid that she might actually win!!

One would eliminate a treat. One would not eliminate an infirm or a defeated person who no legs to stand!

 

[Logic note]

I think Its Just Grief of Humanity .
1. Photography - its about capturing or stealing from moment, that perfect moment which will not be affected by time .and this Pic beautifully does that .
now its our mind , which uses our perception , our fear , to judge motive and the meaning of cameraman and the Picture itself .

I remember As Advaita philisophy Says that thoughts have universe-vanishing gaps between them. These universe-vanishing gaps made it universally impossible for thoughts to be connected to each other.Thoughts were not only disconnected but they were totally unpredictable. As Science would call this unpredictability their Uncertainty Principle.
so relish the game of mind

In some areas of sind such professional women r found, who mourn on the death of any feudal lord or some political leader, Waderas etc. I have seen 1 DRAMA named SUKHAN on one of the Tv channel of Pakistan. The main role was of one of the demised actor SHAFI MUHAMMAD. His famous dialogues before his suicide in this drama to these women were:
"K ajj tum aisa rona roana, jo aaj se pehlay kisi k moot peh na roya hoo".
This is a culture, strange and funny too but make the death scene more trageic.
