Over the last few years the female student of Peshawar university have started adopting a particular getup. This trend is spreading like a forest fire. one feels as if you are roaming in an Arab country.

Is it just because of the ‘in vogue’ purda or is the latest fashion? Most of the girls when asked would straight away say: its fashion. I just am unable to get it. Why is this thinking intensifying so much?

In majority of the cases, it has nothing to do with covering themselves. With all my apologies, it’s the other way round. Most of them are from extremely conservative backgrounds where they are hardly allowed to even talk.

These girls don’t even wear this costume when they visit their homes. It’s a common hostel culture in the very first glance it seems as if they are trying to wear a local version of skirts. This concept needs to be changed that this particular getup isn’t the symbol of superiority which according to many is the license for it.
