New debate started on two types of envelopes
Another discussion has come to light regarding Valima card. It is being told that two different types of envelopes have been printed for the banquet. One envelope mentions being descended from the eighth generation, while the other simply says “Bahubhoj (Dawate Valima)”. There are speculations that separate cards have been prepared for Hindu and Muslim communities, which has made this entire matter more popular.
There has already been a ruckus regarding the surname.
This is not the first time that the name of Naushad Ahmed ‘Dubey’ has come in the headlines. About a year ago, during the wedding held in his family on December 10, a political and social debate had erupted regarding printing the name ‘Naushad Ahmed Dubey’ on the card. At that time there was resentment in the Muslim community, whereas the Hindu society accepted it wholeheartedly. Now once again the Valima card has brought Dehri village into the center of discussion and has given rise to a new debate regarding social harmony, identity and tradition.
