The Shaikh also is not a supporter of women’s seclusion; the college boys unnecessarily suspicious of him became. He clearly stated in the sermon yesterday: ‘From whom would women be secluded if men women became’ (Humorous reference to the clean-shaved faces adopted by men in the Indian Sub-continent following Lord Curzon. The word used in the original is ‘zan’, which is the Persian word for ‘woman’. There is a pun in ‘zan’ and ‘Curzon’.)
