They can wear the hijab outside of class?

You can't take a hijab off. Once your start wearing it, it's not an "on off" thing. Anywhere you have males you need to wear it per the religion. Why is this hard to understand?

They are putting up signs in Maharashtra, Pehle Hijab Phir Kitab.

Is this what choice and women empowerment looks like??

This is pure oppression and propaganda

Moreover, it reads "har keemti cheez parde mein hoti hai"🤢

For the man who put it up, women are keemti cheez and not human beings. I don't understand how shit like this is acceptable.

Interesting question, where does it stop, can a Digambara Jain turn up naked to school, and claim he should be able to practice his religion without restrictions?

You tell me?? Where is the uniformity in the uniform......How will we decide that wearing a turban is more important than wearing a hijaab hence should be allowed??

How is a tiny bindi comparable to a garment that covers a significant part of one's body? Worse, which school allows bindi? Genuine question.

A Sikh boy doesn't have the choice to wear his turban on a Monday and discard it for a Domino's visit on a Tuesday. Turban is a necessity due to the uncut hair. Both are not the same.

A simple hijab covers the head: what are you talking about? And yes; neither can you discharge the hijab on Tuesday blah blah blah. Once you wear it, you continue.

Those banners don't show the girls in hijab but in black tents. Only eyes are visible.

No idiot from any religion should be entertained..👍🏼

That is for another debate.....I am just asking why the head cover for one religion should be allowed and not allowed for the other?

1. If you're speaking generally, I believe the answer was in the post you quoted. A covering designed to control (specifically stated to decrease male sexual desire IIRC) is different from a mere religious symbol.

2. If you're speaking specifically about children, then they should be even more protected against such because they're more emotionally vulnerable to manipulation.

@Zeal. I can answer that question. Hijab and assorted head and face coverings were designed to CONTROL women. Sardar trappings are not.

I know but I want to understand do people here who are saying if no hijab no turban as well actually know the difference or are being communal.

What I don't like is the hypocrisy.

Ghoongat is oppressive, pardah is oppressive, sindoor is oppressive

But Hijab and Burqa is freedom and reformative?

All of this is just a form of religion compulsion. To put people in line.

Whether people want to accept it or be blissfully unaware is another question

Women are oppressed enough and have been hidden away for centuries.

It's 2022, where still we are fighting for rights and such things take a step back.

Today it's hijab, tomorrow its burqa. Then separation of women and men and no progress for women.

There is live examples of this all around the world.

So many of my Muslim friends never wore Hijab, but were made to in recent times due to pressure from their elders and family.. They hardly mingle with anyone anymore. Look at how this changing the society and pushing it back.

Oppressive when one is forced to do so. They clearly want to wear it, so it becomes their right when you live in a free country.

I wear a burqa by my choice. No one can dictate me otherwise.

And yes, people like me exist!

Pertinent question here is no one seems to have answer for what is the reason behind Sikh boy wearing Turban and Muslim girl wearing hijab?

A Muslim girl wears a hijab as for her it's a symbol of modesty and highlighting her inner traits as opposed to outer appearance. That's her reasoning. Which by the way, is not up for debate because it's HER religion and HER reasoning. The religion can say that if you wear a hijab you'll be taken to the 17th sky in heaven, who the eff cares? This is her faith, and she doesn't have to justify to you her faith. She's not asking you to follow it. So why are you so obsessed?

One thing I learned from this thread.

Religion comes into the pic, women will always lose. 100%.

Every religious debate over women's rights ends in this, be it the nuns who got abused and killed, Sabarimala, now Islamic head coverings.

No wonder equality has been slow to arrive. Women themselves prioritize everything else.

Best part is it's the women who have actually achieved something in their lives who insist on giving the *choice* to the 80% who have no choice. 😆 (picked 80% because that's the number said to live in poverty)
