NPR's Rough Translation podcast has an episode...called "Austenistan" about two sisters who are members of the Jane Austen Society of Pakistan. It's very interesting.
Two sisters attempt to use a 19th century novelist to outwit modern Pakistani restrictions on women. And a war reporter discovers the power of drawing room comedy to understand her own family.
Warning: This episode has explicit language.
