\u201cIndian-Canadian filmmaker Nisha Pahuja\u2019<\/a>s documentary \u2026[is a] thought-provoking film that examines women\u2019s limited choices in a patriarchal country reeling from the contradictions of rapid modernization. Along the way, it highlights how such concepts as oppression, empowerment and dignity can be manipulated for political purposes.\u201d <\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cOn the one hand, there\u2019s the extremely popular Miss India contest, which overnight can turn a dirt-poor girl into a superstar in this nation of one billion people. But just a handful of hopefuls get to try out, as we see in a beauty boot camp for 20 girls in a Mumbai hotel, where sexism and degradation are commonplace and Botox and skin-bleaching are recommended even for teens…<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

…On the other hand, there are the fashion-averse teachers of Durga Vahini, the women\u2019s wing of Hindu fundamentalism. They have their own boot camp indoctrination sessions designed to make women subservient to men \u2014 and also to preach hatred against Muslims and Christians.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
