Re: Pakistan - A History in photographs

I like the picture. Nowadays actors and actresses again show as much and as less of themselves as they wish.

Personally I think everyone should decide for themselves if and how much they cover. Even Islam leaves many choices in that aspect. What I liked in Rawal Pindi and Islamabad, during holidays in 2000, was seeing people dressed in various ways: males both in western clothing and salwar kameez, females both in western clothing and salwar kameez, females with duputta or chador, females without duputta or chador, etc. etc.

I agree, Islam doesn't advocate for particular kind of dress. The only concern it should hide 'satr'
