Involvement in human rights and equality

Kamranistan has always been a company that endorses the equality and unity of everyone regardless of their background.

Recently I stumbled upon an artist who goes by the name of Sikh Knowledge and is based in Montreal. He recently released a song about the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict and I found it to be a strong yet catchy song. I encourage you as individuals to stand up for equality and human rights no matter what form you do it in. We as a human race have too much in common to try and slit each other''s throats. Anyways, enjoy the song!


Please be sure to check out Sikh Knowledge's new single, Palestine Ch CHIng.

Bollywood is DEAD


Though many disagree, I must say that Bollywood is dead. Bollywood has peaked out in the amount it tries to mimic Hollywood, and might I say they do it horribly From cheesy lines to speaking random English sentences in a dreadful accent, they do it all. Did I mention the random 'Shit' in a heavy Indian accent, Yeah, not cool. So in loving memory of Pre-2000s Bollywood I have created this shirt. Enjoy!

Africa


Africa, essentially the cradle of civilization. It is home to thousands of tribes,thousands of ethnicities, and thousands of languages. Many cultures and many countries make up the continent. The Colors of Africa range from black,to brown, to white. Kamranistan hopes to begin a pan solidarity movement between all Africans. Whether you are Arab,Ebo,Somali,Amharic, Liberian,South African,Tanzanian,etc. Kamranistan plans to do that by starting a brand new Proud African section. We have released our first design for this brand new section. Check it out at

How Do You Feel About Sarah Palin?


I think that she is under qualified for her job. I feel that if McCain dies before he can even be sworn in as president, our country may be screwed. So in honor of that we went ahead and released our anti-Sarah Palin design. Enjoy ! :)

First Design of September



Alright so I just recently cranked out another design. If you've ever seen those shirts that always have pictures of a bunch of Guitars with a caption underneath saying 'Choose Your Weapon', you will know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, please bear with me :).

Anyways I made this shirt with depictions of a dhol,tabla,chimta,sarangi, and tumbi. I figured this would cover the bulk of South Asia (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh primarily).


The most recognizable instrument is the dhol which is actively used through out Pakistan, Northern India, Afghanistan, and throughout parts of the former Persian Empire. Ever wonder where the dhol's ancestry lies? Well I'm going to tell you!

The Dhol consists of three primary pieces, the Dhol (Double Barreled Drum), Dagga, and Tilli. The dhol is thought to have been introduced to Hindustan via the Persians who brought the 'dohol'. The dhol of Armenia and Iran are smaller and sit in the laps of the player whereas in the South Asia the dhol is rather bulky and hangs from the shoulders of the dholi. The person who plays the dhol is called the dholi.

Today the dhol is used in Bhangra(Traditional Panjabi dance), Sufi music (Panjabi Islamic Music), Attan(Traditional Afghani Dance), amongst many other dances.


Anyways,

Make sure to check back.

I hope this post was informative for my readers!

Cheers,
