Re: Indian Modesty is different from Pakistani modesty
I wouldn't portray it as grimly but it certainly is a sore situation.
Indian enjoy this because they get a chance to nanga Pakistani women and humiliate Pakistanis.
You can't imagine the hue and cry if the situation was reverse.
Then we would know how broad-minded Indians were.
Sub-continental sense of honour is pretty much the same in this regard.
BTW, Pakistaniyon ki kam-bakhtai started a long time ago with Salma Agha, Anita Ayyoob types, in this matter.
what mahol and Muqa are missing is, Indian secular cultural is different from Muslim Pakistani cultural. You can nt compare these two cultures. Yes, Nanga-pan is everywhere in every society, even in muslim countries, but there is a limit to it. Bollywood has no boundries... Even when such things are shown in Pak, people do raise their voice against it. But i have not seen Protests e.t.c in india. Let me clear that i am nt saying indian culture is bad. I am just saying we are far behind in moj maila than india
Re: Indian Modesty is different from Pakistani modesty
This is more like a formal Western outfit.
If she was a Westerner visiting Pakistan on official duty, Pakistanis would not consider it offensive.
Arms and legs are exposed but it is not odd like the backless choli of Mehwish Hayat item number pic or the HM/IH picture.
I am not posting her actual picture... I meant... Sara and Anita both did bold work in India... Sara went a head and posed in undergarments modeling for international lingerie brand in India....

Re: Indian Modesty is different from Pakistani modesty
modesty in terms of satar/hijaab is of course different because they do not follow Islamic dress codes...as far as chastity and modesty in dealing with men and public in general is almost same. they also guard observe dress code which does not reveal one's body too much.
as many have said, media/Bollywood does NOT represent life style as it is common in a society. they have to sell their product so they lagaao 'mirch masaala'. :D

MUMBAI: An Indian photographer has sparked outrage with a fashion shoot that depicts a woman being harassed on a bus by a group of men, echoing a fatal gang-rape that shocked the nation.
The project by Raj Shetye called “The Wrong Turn” appeared in his online portfolio in recent days before being taken down, according to media reports on Wednesday, but the photographs have been carried by various other media outlets including the website Buzzfeed.
They show a female model in high-end fashion looking harassed on a bus in various poses.
In one image she is on the floor with a man standing over her, one shows her struggling with two men gripping her arms, and in another two men pin her down on the seats.
Shetye told Buzzfeed that the shoot was not based on the fatal gang-rape of a student on a bus in New Delhi in December 2012, which sparked outrage across India over levels of sexual violence against women.
“But being a part of society and being a photographer, that topic moves me from inside,” he said.
“I stay in a society where my mother, my girlfriend, my sister are out there and something like this can happen to them also.”
Mumbai-based Shetye could not be reached by AFP to comment on the story.
The parallels in the photoshoot drew anger on social media, with Twitter users describing the images as “shocking”, “disgusting” and “mind boggling”.
The 2012 attack saw a gang of six rape a 23-year-old physiotherapy student including with an iron rod after she was tricked into boarding a private bus on the way home from the cinema with a male friend.
The woman died 13 days after the attack from her injuries, after being airlifted to a Singapore hospital for specialist treatment.
“This is in no way meant to glamourise the act, which was very bad,” Shetye told BuzzFeed by telephone.
“It’s just a way of throwing light on it.”
The 2012 attack shone a global spotlight on India’s treatment of women and led to tougher laws to deter rapists, although frequent reports of attacks continue to emerge.
