Burka-clad models?


The First Post, British online magazine, reports: "Women's faces are being painted out of billboards across the city of Peshawar in northern Pakistan after local government officials threatened to take action against advertisers." Welcome to the Dark Ages!


In India too there is no dearth of such male chauvinists who vandalise shops & threaten couples on Valentine's Day. I think it is a sense of insecurity that makes men try to subjugate women in name of religion and tradition. Let the feminine power grow, its good for the world.


Generally speaking, women are as capable of performing any job as their male counterparts are. So, why stifle their growth? Let them blossom and I'm sure they shall, if given free reign, make this world a happier place to live just as their very presence changes a house into a home.
