Burqas in Bhopal ...

I read this article recently in "Outlook". It was one of the articles about Bhopal that was published on the last page of an issue - The author had spent a few days in Bhopal and had been struck by how well-planned and resident-friendly the city was, which was certainly a surprise to me, considering the negative mental image I had of Madhya Pradesh.

During his/her visit to Bhopal, the author had noticed a large number of girls wearing burqas, which in itself was nothing special, as Madhya Pradesh has a large muslim population. However, the author also noticed that many of these girls were zooming around on bikes, hugging their boy friends and also wearing fashionable jeans under the burqa ...

And when the author asked local people about this phenomenon, he was told that every Hindu girl in Bhopal had a burqa in hr wardrobe and used it to roam around the city without being recognized !!

Ingenious !

Hi,
Yeah, that happens here in chennai too. Similar to this, there are girls who wear helmets not for protection but for hiding purpose. But neenga romba kalavaram undakra mariye pesreenga ;) Muslims are readily waiting for a fight :P

Have a nice day,
