		<description><![CDATA[In the last few years, the international emphasis on locating social rights within the Qur’an has primarily been driven by and for women.

		<description><![CDATA[The film “Bijli” opens with an off-key rendition of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s haunting Sanu Ik Pal Chain Na Aave.  The poetry of the song describes a man who cannot find a moment’s peace without his beloved.  Some might consider this analogous to Bijli’s predicament as a woman trapped in a man’s body: constantly ill [...]]]></description>

Because we are fairly diligent regarding comment moderation, no comments that violated MMW’s comment moderation policy were approved.
