I dont quite believe the "oppressed burqa women" of hyderabad. It is a cultural thing to wear. Many of them are unusually feisty. I have seen many times these "poor" women not paying to the autowallah enough and telling them to fu*k off.
Also burqa is needed to spead "love", most hyderabadis will agree.
I know what you are saying and yes, some burqawalis are quite fashionable and fiesty.
Can't be true for a 10 year old kid though.
