Correction Regarding the Founder of the Golden Needle Sewing School
I’d like to propose a correction regarding the claim that Homeira organized the Golden Needle Sewing School.The current text states that she was the orgnizer, but based on reliable sources, this doesn't seem accurate.
According to:
Christina Lamb's "The Sewing Circles of Herat": Mohammed Nasir Rahiyab (also recorded as Mohammad Naser or Muhammad Ali Rahyab), a 47-year-old literature professor at Herat University, was the actual founder. The clandestine school took place in his home, and he played a crucial role beyond just guidance or mentorship. He provided the books and materials, and the concept of the school was his.
Nadia Anjuman's Wikipedia Article: This article also confirms that Professor Rahyab was the founder of the school.
"Load Poems Like Guns: Women’s Poetry from Herat, Afghanistan": Edited by Farzana Marie, this book further supports Rahyab’s foundational role in the school.
Saeed Haghighi's Testimony: While not yet published in a formal source, Saeed Haghighi can verify the falsehood of Homeira's claim. Additionally, many graduates of the school can corroborate that Professor Rahyab was the founder/orgnizer. It’s worth noting that Homeira was only 13 years old at the time, which suggests that her role was likely that of a participant rather than the organizer.
It's aldo worth noting that the professor's name has been recorded with slight variations, which might have caused some confusion.
Given this context, I suggest revising the article to accurately reflect that Mohammed Nasir Rahyab founded the Golden Needle Sewing School, with Homeira possibly being one of the students rather than the organizer. This change would align the article with the information provided by these sources. Leyli47 (talk) 22:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
