Dressed like terrorists! - a photo on Flickriver

Dressed like terrorists!

            I have always been fascinated at how ladies riding motor scooters in the city of Pune (Poona) always dress like terrorists, with whole face covered barring the eyes. They do it to protect themselves from dust and diesel fumes, and it does make for a rather comical sight. A police chief who took over in 2011 proposed to ban this kind of dressing, but it was met with resistance. While I could not shoot any 'lady terrorists' head on, (it is not accept convention to photograph ladies without permission), this was a sneak shot I could manage while waiting at a signal.
