The impetus of this paper comes from the urgency of finding the Muslim woman in the conundrum of South Asia. Particularly in relation to her faith, her expressions and the mosaic of reflections that give form to her environment. This study seeks to hear their voices coming out of a wider South Asian literary tradition and record how they experience through their bodies the patriarchal adversities embedded in community, history and symbols of faith.
