Bantwal, Jun 19: In a unique co-incidence, a girl who had been separated from her mother and sister 14 years ago, met them again, all because of a feature film. The credit for uniting the family goes to a feature film titled 'Akrandana' dealing with the problem of dowry prevalent among Muslims, brought out by the Dakshina Kannada district unit of Jaymiyyatul Falah.

Jainabi,last daughter of Moidin Bakrakody in Kinnigoly, had been given in marriage to truck driver Mohammed Rafiq from Moodigere, 26 years ago. He had already been married thrice, and abandoned Jainabi after fathering two girls through her. Jainabi chose to go back to her parental but her uncle Sulaiman drove away Jainabi and younger daughter Zarina, forcing here elder daughter Asiya to grow up at Sulaiman's house away from her mother and sister.

Destitute Jainabi, who had reached Javagal, a holy Muslim pilgrimage centre, was spotted by Abubakker from Vittal Okkettoor. He brought the mother-daughter duo to Vittal and provided them shelter. They later shifted to Kanatadka where Yousuf Haji and Darkas Abdul Khader supported them. An organization in Kanatadka, witnessing the plight of the mother who along with her daughter was rolling beedies and doing coolie work, provided them with a small house to live. Zarina, now 19, has completed education till the eighth standard.

Asia, faced with heavy household work and domestic violence at her uncle's house, went to live in the house of Mohammed Ali, a distant relative. She was later married to truck driver Hussain Shariff from Tamil Nadu. She now has three sons and a daughter. Asia who recently saw a CD of the feature film 'Akrandana' that has showcased the plight of Muslim women, recognised the faces of her mother and sister. After some efforts, she could locate her mother and sister with help from Jamiyyatul Falah, Dakshina Kannada unit. She was assisted in her efforts,  by Jamiyyatul Falah leaders Haji Mohammed Hanif Golthamajalu, Razack Master Anantadi and Rashid Vittal.

Asiya has offered to take her mother and sister along with her to her place, but they are not interested. They want to continue to stay at Kanatadka. Haji G Mohammed Hanif has promised to repair the house where Jainabi resides through the district unit of Jamiyyatul Falah.

    We should not forget the hard work of Mr. Kasim HK, who took a voyage to the remote and impoverished corner of our district. His backpack with Camcorder with some friends he bustled into the poorest, deprived, fragmented section of the society. The story of women who were deserted by their men, left without choice, unable to search for an alternate source.

    Those section of the society, either they are unable to reach corridors of power, neither any initiative from the society. Finally, ray of hope ascended through the lens of Mr. Kasim’s camera, which revealed misery (AAKRANDANA) of hundreds of families.

    Now here we need an inclusive participation from the society to eradicate this social ignominy. We pray almighty for more strength and energy to all members and associates of Jamaithul Falah as well Mr. Kasim and his family.

    It is not enough that we only verbally praise the activities of Jamathul Falah. More people should come forward and support the efforts of Jamathul Falah both physically and financially.

    A very filmi story, but we are glad that mother and daughter have been united after so many years. Wonderful effort by Khasim Ahmed - President of JF Riyadh and the team members at Jamiyyatul Falah at Managalore. After the documentary Aakrandana was released there has been a lot of soul searching by a lot of people and we pray that all the social evils are rid from the society.
