50 years on, Canada lawyer yet to get over her circumcision trauma

[ahlam1399]

A 62-year-old lawyer settled in Canada chokes with emotion every time she recalls the day, over half a century ago, when she was pinned down by two women in a dark room in Bhindi Bazaar?s Bohri mohalla, while a midwife circumcised her. The procedure, k**wn as khatna, is prevalent among Dawoodi Bohras. ?I was a feisty kid and put up quite a struggle at the time,? says Dilshad Tavawalla. She recollects little of what happens next, fainting with pain during the procedure. She could barely walk when it was over. She returned home in a ghoda-gaadi that stopped at a toy store near Crawford Market where relatives bought her a green tin tea set to mollify her.
