Related: About this forumTYT: Who Is The Burka Avenger?
Rare is the day when I happily spend two hours watching back-to-back episodes of a Hindi fiction show on Indian television that too in animation. No, this isnt the meanderings of my addled brain. Finally, theres a show which I think every adult, parent and non-parent, and every child who is allowed to watch TV should see.
Burka Avenger, the Pakistani series about a teacher who is a vigilante superhero by night, is now being shown in India. That too on a channel which few of us adults knew existed. ZeeQ and the telecast of Burka Avenger may just be the only redeeming feature of media mogul Subhash Chandra.
Burka Avenger is an animation series that was started in August 2013 in Pakistan. It has been nominated for an Emmy and has won the Peabody Award, the International Gender Equity Prize and the Asian Media Award. Its hero was also named one of the most influential fictional characters of 2013 by TIME.

(306 posts)Although the video is cute and seemingly kind ...i wonder.. who produced it... how many of them are female...how many of them are male ? Being a superhero and appealing to young children is an easy tactic... for those who would be worshiped as heroes... Propaganda as shit actually .The Factual reality of something as oppressive and and inhumane as the burka is the only thing that needs our full 100% REAL attention.
This is yet another fantasy produced by Men who have a religion which is primarily oppressive to Women.

Why do we have so many on the LEFT pretending and protecting this kind of inhuman barbarity in the name of religion ?
