Feminists All Over Pakistan, Rejoice: "Burka Avenger" is here!
And all the haters keep hating.
You see, if Lena Dunham was here right now, she'd be so happy. It's power to the woman and what not. While I am very happy somebody seems to be taking notice of giving power to the woman, I fear how the nation is going to react to it. It's something positive. And we have a tendency to turn everything evil. Could this be the Illuminati invading our nation? Or is GEO doing enough of that? or maybe it's a US funded project or what not? It's definitely a conspiracy theory.
Whatever.
I for one am very excited to see what this show hold. It's promising, encouraging and moreover is in sync with the idea that a woman can be more than what the man thinks she is. At least what the man here in Pakistan thinks. And please, all that talk about nazar ko bachao and be-hayaee and stuff. Well, face palm! It's Burqa Avenger. Can't a burqa clad lady kick ass? Yes, she can. Woman is no longer the frail object of desire that can be easily manipulated. If this show takes off in the right direction, it may very well help young girls see what they can become and that there's more to being veiled than being overpowered by this male dominant society.
The Burqa Avneger is to be a teacher at a girl's school in this show, where she shows us how the pen is mightier than the sword. What could be more positive than that?
With Bilal Lashari on the production team, this show has got to be an awesome one. And with Adil Omar and Haroon contributing to the OST, it seems like a very interesting mix.
So let's hope that with the devil trapped in hell right now, we give this show the positive feedback it deserves.
