We are planning a more detailed review of Mukhtaran Mai’s book In the Name of Honor: A Memoir
However, I can’t resist the temptation to put up this picture from an Islamabad bookstore, published in the Daily Times (15 November, 2006) that shows the two books displayed side by side. I will not over diagnose it right now, but I find the portraits of both Mukhtaran and Gen. Musharraf interesting depictions, especially when placed side-by-side. I would also love to find out which book the gentleman in the background in reading.
So do keep an eye on this space for more on Mukhtaran Mai’s book
the memoir “in the name of honour” is a beautiful flow of simple words from a woman who knows no fancy. a truly courageous and remarakable book which has touched my heart and stirred an emotion deeply seated that it will always be a man’s world until we women get up and fight for our place under the sun.
