Why is pardah wrong and Hijab/niqab/burqa right?
Wasn't pardah system removed because it's was oppressing women.
How is Hijab etc applauded.? Ultimately you are trying to hide a woman in the name of modesty and culture or religion.
This is all oppression.

Personally I'm in support of hijab burqah , what funny was the misogynist lines quoted in court to show as essential part of religion😆
That said I support , not just school girls sab adult girls ko bhi daalo tent main 👍
The hijab/burkha should NEVER be legitimised. Yes, you cannot stop people from wearing it in public, but you shouldn't allow it in an organisation which has a uniform or a dress code.
It amazes me how a few ignorant ass morons shoot off their mouths about hijab being a "choice" when it's far from reality for the vast majority of the Muslim women around the world.
Actually no, we don't have uniforms. The law isn't against any religion : it's about neutrality in school. You're not suppose to show your religious or political beliefs in schools to protect minors from any influence. The law doesn't apply to universities for example because we're dealing with adults who are free to exercise their freedom of religion.
From what I've seen, the ban targets college veiled women in India.
There is no comparison with the French case.
The French form of secular state is different from the one that is in the Indian constitution. Not letting people practice their religion, when it comes to essentials is infringement of basic human rights/ and goes against the constitution as well. Which is why they are debating in court that hijab is m essential to practicing Muslims.
On another note - in India, it’s extremely disrespectful to ask someone to take off turban or head gear off. In Sikhism it’s a part of religion, but covering head is not unique to Sikhism or Islam in general. Punjabi women always covered their head anyways, when you go to a temple, you cover your head
Back in the day, both men and women covered their heads no matter what religion. It was a cultural practice (and in a way has to do with Hinduism as well).
Also, many women get groped, harassed especially while travelling so dressing modestly, and covering up can help them feel safer.
Secondly - there could be other issues while it may actually cause women cause to drop out/ not allowed to study further. If we are talking of upliftment of women in general, it has to be easier for them. Not make it harder than it already is.
Another problem is - taking away freedom to choose. It’s not very different from forcing someone to wear a hijab.
I am quite amazed at the support for an oppressive practice like Hijab/Pardah, We are talking about girls in school, how do you know that they're "CHOOSING" hijab when most school going kids are NOT adults? Isn't it clear that if court mandates Hijab/Burqa/Parda/Ghunghat etc for young girls THEIR PARENTS will take this decision for them?
