Kamranistan Joins Forces With The International Pro Palestinian Lobby

The Kamranistan Company is proud to announce that we have joined forces with the International Pro Palestinian Lobby based in Australia. The Lobby has been officially recognized by the Australian government and is showing strong growth in membership and awareness.

From here on out 50% of profit earned from the sales of Pro-Palestinian shirts will be given to the International Pro Palestinian Lobby. Additionally we are now selling 'special edition' Palestine shirts. When you purchase one of these shirts shown in the picture, Kamranistan feeds a family in Palestine for a week.

As a company we are committed to helping those who are less fortunate. We know that wealth and prosperity has been spread unequally across nations and we know that marginalized peoples must be represented. If you are the leader of a human rights organization and would like to collaborate with Kamranistan feel free to email us at kamran@kamranistan.com.

Peace and Love,

Milestones And A One Year Anniversary

At the Kamranistan Co. we have just finished our first year of operations. During our first year we achieved many milestones including exceeding our goal in sales for year one. Every year Kamranistan will make an annual posting stating its total sales and its improvements. Our total sales and improvements are the result of our supportive customers. Every item you buy not only helps you express yourself, but it also allows others to see that they can wear expressive clothing also.

During our first year of operations from February 2008 to February 2009 we managed to sell 254 shirts. Our goal is to double this quantity for our 2nd year of operations.

In addition to exceeding our goals in sales we have been proud supporters of the United Palestine Appeal, a non profit organization that sends money to Palestine for humanitarian aid. We have also had the opportunity to link with great artists such as Montreal Based musician, Sikh Knowledge.

The year has been a great experience for the company and we hope it has been a great experience for all of you who had the opportunity to become exposed to our apparel. We hope you visit our site many times more in the upcoming years. Make sure to check out our blog on a regular basis to stay in touch with the latest fashions and designs!

Enjoy the rest of your March!


Sincerely,


The Kamranistan Clothing Company

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,
