Fouzia Azeem, better known to the world as Qandeel Baloch was a kind of anomaly.  She was an aspiring model, a part-time singer, she posted videos of her on social media like our very own Poonam Pandey.  She wanted to jolt the society that is stuck in a conservative morass by being unapologetic about her sexuality.  In a nutshell, she wanted to live life on her own terms.  And that represented a clear and present danger to the suffocating patriarchy and misogyny of the Pakistani society.  Then, one fine day in July 2016, when she was visiting her family--whom she doted on--in Multan, her younger brother literally throttled her while she was sleeping in the bedroom for bringing 'disrepute' and 'dishonor' to the family's name.  She was just 26.  Sanam Maher is a noted journalist and critic based in Karachi, and she has painstakingly pieced together the tragic story of the ''Sensational Life And Death Of Qandeel Baloch'' in this book.  To my mind, this book also holds a mirror to us and shows what a warped and schizophrenic society we have created in our part of the world when it comes to dealing with the modernity and a young woman's desire to chart her own destiny.  Because make no mistake, for every sister like Qandeel even in India, there are many brothers like Waseem lurking in the shadows, waiting...and watching.
