Zohra Segal (April 1912- July 2014)

ZOHRA Segal was born in a family of Rohela Pathans in Saharanpur in 1912. It has become fashionable to add the prefix ‘conservative’ before Rohela Pathan, and this is done to highlight the fact that she chose dancing and acting as a career. Obviously the prefix helps reinforce the image of the Muslim as intolerant and posits Zohra as the rebel and therefore abnormal as far as the Muslims were concerned.
