Maalik's answers to “The Silenced Boys Speak Out” survey for the boy participants (original) (raw)

What is bacha bazi, in your opinion? For me it is a noble act of old times that is alive until today. The way our grandfathers loved boys and then our fathers and now us. So for me bacha bazi is a tradition from that time when there were not many rules and a man could love a boy and that was very common in those times. Now when all minds could speak internationally it has changed, but even today it is the same love as it was forever ago. I think bacha bazi has two faces, one the ugly and the other the beauty, so both of these are bacha bazi.
