Aurat is an ugly word that comes into Hindi from Arabic via Urdu in the 1500's, taken from Arabic and/or Persian. It refers to the dark, dirty, hidden place on a woman's body. Modern speakers of Hindi are unaware of the actual original meaning of the word Aurat. It is often unconsciously used in every day speech along with the word "Admi" meaning Man. HINDI SPEAKERS MUST STOP USING THE WORD AURAT TO MEAN WOMAN!!
