‘Miss Pakistan World’- an open assassination of the Pakistani cultural values, a historical disgrace and the demise of our values on a global scale occurred in 2003. Where on one hand, the religious and moral boundaries were butchered in the name of liberty, freedom and global competitiveness of the Pakistani women. On the other hand myriad so-called ‘broadminded’ majority esteemed the launch of ‘ Miss Pakistan World’ held in Canada which acclaimed to bring about the Pakistani beauty on the global front and grant the Muslim women the same rights as the other women in the world, by walking the ramp for various rounds in the contest including the ‘bikini round’ The pageant which was aimed at bringing the young Pakistani women from around the world to compete for a ‘diamond studded beauty crown’, in my opinion largely demanded immoral and anti-cultural practices that can be regarded as an ultimate insult to Muslim women . Walking a ramp before the crowd of billions in a bikini is certainly not a symbol of ‘FREEDOM’ rather it portrays the lack of dignity and values on behalf of the Pakistani women who very proudly participated in the contest.
Our culture/ religon most certainly grant women with the fundamental rights and ample freedom in all aspects, however, it does not allow one to misuse their yearning for freedom and bring such shame to the country/ society. Nothing justifies this gesture of these women, who can perform such heinous acts for a mere ‘diamond crown’ and for those who call it liberation of women, its for them to choose whether a mere diamond crown (that calls for “shedding off clothes”) is worth the massacre of your dignity?
