MUSLIM AND HINDU LOVE RELATIONSHIPS |
|
With Asians, the situation is this - if, say an old lady saw me with a boy, then rumours would go round, it's like oh yeah she's with that boy.
If he's a Muslim boy it makes it worse!
So in a lot of ways there is no privacy, not really.
That's why it really annoys me if you really like a Muslim guy because you get a lot of lip off your friends, and everything.
There's a guy I like who is Muslim and I like him more than as a friend.
It's an issue that causes problems with your family, your friends, 'cos most of my friends, even though they talk to Muslims and everything, they've been brought up not to like them, so they just don't.
It's the same with the Muslims; they've been brought up not to like Hindus either, that's why they don't really get on and that's just the way it is.
It's like even with my parents, even with my mum, she's had friends who are Muslims, that's she's friends with now, and she wouldn't like me going out with Muslim boys.
But the other day she said to me straight up, look it doesn't matter who you go out with as long as you tell me and your dad.
Some parents would give you a lot of grief, but some don't.
I remember my Mum's friend saying to her that if she ever went out with a Muslim her Mum would just kill her herself, straight up, and I was like - Ooh!
So some parents feel very strongly about it.
But I think that my Mum's learnt that to me whether he's Muslim or not it doesn't matter, he's still the same as any other Indian person or black person or white person, I think my brother's a lot like that as well, but my Mum's just like... learnt to live with it I guess, but I don't think she likes Muslims - she does like them, but I don't think she'd like it if I married one.
Inter-racial relationships are becoming a big thing 'cos a lot of girls seem to be going out with Muslim boys, but they keep it really quiet 'cos they don't want people to know.
I think that they will become more acceptable, but I know that for a long time to come it's not gonna be easy.
That whole Muslim and Hindu thing, there's gonna be tension between them, and it will carry along from generation to generation.
All my Hindu mates, both girls and the guys don't like Muslims, and they've got younger brothers and sisters who feel the same, so if they went out with one, they'd just totally let out at them, so …. it will carry on like that. |
