Radiance: "very fair" bride
Radiance: 5 Dec 2009
Personal and matrimonial ads are always fun to read. I have noticed two interesting ads in a previous issue of Radiance. In this issue also there is a matrimonial box ad but this time the perspective bride is in her 20s- 24 to be exact. She is doing MA in English. The ad mentions that she is "beautiful" and here is the interesting part, she is also "very fair."
There is a very interesting article on Islamic Banking by Mansoor Durrani and is actually critical of the hype generated about Islam banking. Durrani rightfully asks question what Islamic banking has done to change business practices or alleviate poverty in the world? He says the problem is that Islamic banks and financial institutions are managed by same people who until recently were in Wall Street and Dalal Street. So the motive and drive for these people is still to get rich quick. Additionally, Islamic funds end up investing in same capital markets that is designed for speculation.
In fact, pay attention to all Islamic financial companies and all emphasize how they can bring you profit, make more money, make you rich etc. I am yet to see a company who says that their investment will bring greater good to the society even when they try to give you a profit. Hope this changes soon- the world needs more ethical investing.
