 A woman draped in veil apparently reflects a faceless and voiceless image of Muslim woman, symbolizing her as marginalized, steeped into a tradition with no ability to fight her own battles. In Indian context, the image of Muslim women is supposedly considered as confined within the four walls of their homes.

In our popular perception, we generally tend to oversimplify and assume reality to be static. However, in a fast and ever-changing society, the ground reality is far from the assumptions.

My beauty even made the sun ashamed. A few nights of silence and many nights of longing came to an end. I was recognized and loved by the people. I was stopped in a corner every day. I kept changing my name but I remained. My life in the sky and the earth was a part of it.
