Rakhshanda Khattak

No fashion model of the 1970s got paid in the thousands, except for the larger-than-life Rakhshanda Khattak, who had to travel a rough road to make a name for herself in the still fledgling Pakistani fashion industry.

Once, her husband Husain Javeri, a jeweller who hardly ever skipped work, decided to accompany her to a modeling gig. After watching his wife having to bend, stretch and contort her body for the perfect pose, and that too for the pittance she was being paid, he approached the advertisement director and demanded his wife be paid ten times the amount to make it worth her time. That was the amount of money someone would have to pay him to be away from his wife, he said. The director was shocked but since he could not afford to lose her, he agreed. Following this incident, Rakhshanda went on to become the highest-paid and yet the most sought after young model of her time.

The Burmese-Pathan woman had her photos splashed across fashion layouts in various English and Urdu magazines. She did commercials ranging from products such as paints and toothpaste. She boasted a height many envied, and could drape her curvaceous figure — a far cry from the anorexic waif look of the New York and Paris fashion world that has caught up with Pakistani models — in a classical sari or sashay about in casual bell bottoms, and still look desirable.

Was this post supposed to be about answering the admin's and other's questions with documented facts about the presence of pashtun-origin people in bangladesh,

Or whatever sad troll war RevolutionThroughReason is so insistent on creating completely out of the blue?

Adam, I am Pashtun through my father and Assamese-Pakistani from my mother's side. Both my families settled in Bangladesh because they were in Muslim League politics. Et vous?

I don't have to essentially BE Bengali to like them, know about them or be offended at racist remarks made toward them. I'm pretty sure I feel that way about all ethnicities. But hey, that's just good education and an understanding of Pashtunwali talking.


Revolution, whatever is going on or has happened that has led you to end up in a place where making racist remarks about how random people from a race you have no connections to are not good enough for you to 'mate with', I hope gets sorted soon. Perhaps that would also go to some end in making you realise that countering facts with opinions is low even for Internet trolls.

If not, well, have fun coming up with other racist crap in response. Glad to give something to look forward to.
