You want to know why? First in Islam women are ordered to obay their men and respect them, I think Hindus believe in this too. In Holy Quraan :
(4:34) "Men are in charge of women, as Allah has made one of them superior to the other, and because men spend their wealth for the women; so virtuous women are the reverent ones, guarding behind their husbands the way Allah has decreed guarding; and the women from whom you fear disobedience, (at first) advise them and (then) do not cohabit with them, and (lastly) beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek to do injustice to them; indeed Allah is Supreme, Great" . In Hadeeth Shareef too ,
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying, "All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian and responsible for his family; the woman is a guardian and is responsible for her husbands house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards."
Sadly some men misuse the rights and the responsibility which Allah gave them, and illtreat women . This doesn't mean that we go against Islam and follow another cultures. Their are rules put on women dressing, work and socializing in Islam. Many of those fiminists don't follow which makes traditional and religios women go against them.😊
First of all are you sure what you understood is what the Quraan stated? There is a lot of symbolism that’s used in the Holy books...When you question something, you have to be mindful of the fact that you are not questioning the Book but the understanding of humans of that Book...
Second, Allah didn’t create anybody less or more than anybody else...That’s why these women have the right to fight for their rights ...And again, be mindful that these women are not asking for their rights from Allah but from their fellow human beings....I repeat, they are doing so because they believe in Allah!
So when the men abuse the rights what are the women supposed to do? Asking for their rights or fighting for it is following the other cultures? How?
