Muslim Women To Be Honored in Docudrama



By Jasmine Roziers

Throughout history, women have done tremendous things such as inventing the first form of wireless connection or inventing the first written instructions for a computer program. Sadly, women do not receive much credit for all the work done throughout history; however, PBS is premiering a docudrama that tells the incredible story of Noor Inayat Khan. Khan was a heroine in World War II, who showed a great amount of courage. The docudrama is entitled Enemy of the Reich: The Noor Inayat Khan Story. Khan was a Indian-muslim women who was born in Paris, but immigrated to the United Kingdom as a child. She later became british spy against the Nazis in Paris during the Nazi regime. She worked as a radio operator during World War II. Many have never heard of her, which is a sad, yet common occurrence, especially for women of color in history. NPR reports about Khan's short lived life, 
"Shortly after she arrived, most of the other agents at her post were arrested. The few who escaped capture returned to the U.K. — except Inayat Khan. She remained for four months and was the only link between England and the early French resistance group.
Eventually, someone turned her in to Nazi officers for a reward. She violently resisted her arrest, tried to escape captivity twice and was declared "highly dangerous" by the Nazis.
In September 1944, when she was 30 years old, she was sent to the Dachau concentration camp and executed. Her final word was 'Liberté.'"

Noor Inayat Khan was a courageous woman with a strong Islamic faith, who risked her life to save her country. The docudrama premieres on PBS Tuesday, September 9.  The photo is courtesy of Sree Sreenivasan's Twitter account.
