村のモスク in パキスタン
お祈りの前に体を洗う↑(1977年3月18日、北西辺境州、パキスタン)村のモスク↑(1977年3月18日、北西辺境州、パキスタン)Garyala村は小さな村ですが、村のモスクがあります。お祈りの前に人々は体を洗います。シャワーの水は、モーターで地下からくみ上げています。モスクの庭には芝生が敷いてあり個人個人が勝手にお祈りをしています。暫くすると皆建物の中に入り横一列に並びます。Gul Islam が説教をし、コーランがうたわれます。コーランの調べはとても美しく、心を打ちます。【Bon appétit !】 On March 7, 1977, the Election Commission announced the result in which Pakistan Peoples Party won the largest landslide victory in Pakistan's electoral history, winning 155 out of 200 seats in the Parliament. The Pakistan National Alliance (PNA) secured only 36 seats and eight seats on each of province's legislative assemblies, but the PNA had not contested all the seats some parties boycotting elections in parts of the country. The PNA failed to secure any seats from industrial cities such as Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpinidi, where the PNA had arranged the massive demonstration and big public gatherings and processions. These results were in stark(硬直した、正真正銘の、際立った)contrast to the widespread predictions that although Bhutto would win the election, but not by a wide margin that the results suggested.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistani_general_election,_1977)
