     Written in a lively , chatty, yet informative style, as a series of somewhat disconnected essays, it makes a nice office hours reading ! It is particularly good for random access reading, if I may call it so, jumping from chapter to chapter not in any particular order, switching gears as you go. A casual skimming over the table of contents  took me to  the chapter ‘burkha ke peeche kya hai ?’ ; the answer is not what I thought or what you are thinking nor ‘dil’ as in ‘choli ke peechhe kya hai  ‘but ‘designer-ware clothes<\/i>‘. It is a phenomenon that has led to hundreds  of garment factories in a country populated by millions of burkha clad women. <\/div>\n
