TABOO

“Taboo!’ by Fouzia Saeed tackles … touchy issues in a very open and honest manner.”

“Fouzia Saeed has managed to put together an extremely gripping book, bristling with facts, as well as her impressions, about the culture of the Shahi Mohalla.  Written in the first person, the book exposes the myths and the realities behind these myths as Fouzia Saeed goes deeper and deeper into this hidden culture.”

“The first step to the eradication of a problem is creating understanding, and books like ‘Taboo!’ can further such understanding.”

“‘Taboo!’ is an indication that we need to look within ourselves and find the true reasons for social ills.”
