About This Item
NEW YORK: FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY, 1927 VERY NICE LOOKING GREEN COVER, PICTURE FRONT OF THE TAJ MAHAL, GOLD PRINT FRONT AND SPINE. 15 TWO TONED ILLUSTRATIONS. TIGHT AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT. AN EDUCATIONAL INSIGHT INTO A WORLD IN SECRET. Pardah or purdah (from Hindi-Urdu پردہ, पर्दा, meaning "curtain") is a religious and social practice of female seclusion prevalent among some Muslim and Hindu communities. It takes two forms: physical segregation of the sexes and the requirement that women cover their bodies so as to cover their skin and conceal their form. A woman who practices purdah can be referred to as pardanashin or purdahnishan. The term purdah is sometimes applied to similar practices in other parts of the world.
