Very interesting, so it’s on family dynamics. That’s good to know that india freedom to choose is easily accepted as I have friends from Middle East and they are very conservative and they used to change into modern clothes at school and would wear the head scarf at home time. We used to keep an eye that no one from their family is catching them without it but I used to feel if someone doesn’t want to do something, why do they have to be forced?
My mom used to say Kerala muslims used to be way more liberal back then than now. Women rarely used to wear headscarf. It's only after the gulf boom and people from hear moving to middle East for work that started muslim women covering their heads or even wearing burkhas. Burkha was a total alien concept in kerala.
I am fine with headscarfs and burkhas as long as it's completely the women's choice and it's not forced up on them. It's totally upto a woman whether she wants to cover up or not.
