A Sartorial Controversy – Ayesha Omer’s Tee in Zindagi Gulzar Hai
Ayesha Omer’s appearance in the latest Episode of HumTV‘s popular Drama series ‘Zindagi Gulzar Hai‘ has stirred quite a controversy these days. The T-Shirt that she wore read “Little Miss Jihad” with an image of a burqa clad , bomb strapped cartoon girl ( resembling the Little Miss Sunshine Cartoon series) printed underneath.
As with any other controversy, people particularly social media responded to it with mixed reviews. Much of the brouhaha was over the cartoon passing a mocking judgement over the Burqa ( Muslim women’s veil) & it’s resemblance to that of a ninja. The second of course is associating terrorism with Jihad ; a favorite national & international sport.
Shirin Ahmed’s Facebook status read:
While some were of the opinion that it was a harmless satirical comic and should be treated as one.
We’re not quite sure whether this should be interpreted as a Fashion Statement alone or promotion of a particular School of thought. But we would want to know your verdict on it. Leave your comment in the comments section below & let us know.
