Dances are natural reflects of culture

Dances are not ban in any religion including Islam only the obsenity (Fahashi) is prohibited Pakistan is a agricultural land dances are beautiful reflection of different sentiments and emotions of a farmer and his family.  Before Islam dances were very common in Arabic society and there was naked dances of women in  some theaterical gethering rich Arabs come there to buy woman of their choice, Islam put  a ban of naked dances but dances with clothes crried on, when Be Be Aisha  was married with Prophet she was very young girl one day Prophet came and she was playing and dancing with her friends she stopped but Prophet let her to dance and play with her friends ( See book Serat ul Nabi by Moulana Shibli Naumani} So Prophet did not ban her wife from dancing, In the Palaces of king Umayads and Abbasids there were special trainers for dancing and singing two of Kings died when their beloved were dancning and they were lying and eating graps some pieces entered into throat and they breathlessly died (see history of Islam by Mazar ul Haq this book is prescribed in the approved syllebus of CSS Exam) These were the MUslim Kings so dancing remaind a cultural part in Arabic society till present.  In Inia dances were essetial due to religious requirement in Hindus so they get dancing and its training and due to antipathy with Hindus Muslims left dancing and thought it is totally un Islamic, we left dances becz Hindus were doing it, we left painting and drawings and picture making becz Hidus were doing it.  So this is the case with dancing, infact dancing are good natural reflection of culture so I suggest some good dances should be included in BIg programe.
