Okay, my point is, it is easy to go by the women shown in the media in Pakistan - but the people being represented are just a small, ‘elite’ minority who are more concerned about wealth, fame or status than religion. I’m pretty sure that if we were to go to the ordinary middle and lower classes in Pakistan, a lot of them would be ‘modest’ and religious, both inside and outside.

I think Gupshup is a pretty good example of those people all over the country, and all over the world, where they don’t approve of just any old dress, any old behaviour and try to promote the idea of behaving as a true Muslim.

I would also say that while I understand what you are trying to say, but I also think that you’re coming across as a bit judgemental. I don’t mean to insult you, but I think it’s easy to make assumptions about a culture you don’t fully live in.
