Hijab Row

Allah originally ordained Hijab (veils) to save Muslim women from molestation and rape by fellow Muslim men. There is nothing to be proud of Hijab.

Many experts, based on studies in schools or at the work places, have pointed out that the hijab symbolically creates a social division among the Muslim women themselves: the one who wears a hijab might consider herself a better Muslim than others! 

Leading up to the Supreme Court's final ruling on the Karnataka Hijab controversy, there were many opinions being expressed on both sides of the argument. 

Whatever Jilebi-argument an Islamic apologist can give, the inherent problem of Islam is obvious like daylight. Either one is an exclusive, violent and intolerant Momin or a Munafiq/Mushrik/Kafir.

In India Hijab is a post 9/11 Islamic symbolism only. The Hijab row in India can’t be understood in isolation. One needs to examine the issue from larger Islamic framework.

शिक्षा संस्‍थानों में हिजाब पहनने की मांग तो इस षडयंत्र का एक पड़ाव मात्र है परंतु इनके भीतर अभी और कितना ज़हर भरा है, इसका अनुमान सहज ही लगाया जा सकता है।

this is high time to bring UNIFORM CIVIL CODE which would be applicable to all religious communities in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption.

कुछ वर्षों पहले क्रिकेट जगत में ऑस्ट्रेलिया ने एक रणनीति खूब अपनाई, जिसे अंग्रेजी में 'स्लेजिंग' कहते हैं। ठीक उसी रणनीति पर कुछ ताकतें चल रही हैैं। भारतीय धर्म और संस्कृति पर निरंतर प्रहार हो रहे हैं।

Even the otherwise progressive, Malala Yousufzai seems immature to comment in the favor of pro-hijab stand, especially because, in her biography she has compared walking in burqa to “walking inside a big fabric shuttlecock with only a grille to see through” & feels himself to be fortunate enough to not wear one.

In the latest controversy, the Islamists are asserting that it’s the “fundamental” right of the Muslim girls to wear hijab in the classrooms on the ground of their faith.
