Plot
These stories are intentionally repetitive — the poor treatment of women and girls in South Indian Muslim communities happens time and time again. If you are completely unfamiliar with Islam or South Asian, this may be hard to get into, but worthwhile. I found myself pausing on Black Cobras; The Arabic Teacher and Gobi Manchuri; and Be a Women Once, Oh Lord!.
