Karnataka Hijab ROw

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.

To what extent dress in schools and colleges can be a personal choice? And why should there be uniformity among the students?

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.

The simple fact that a student is saying Hijab is more important than education is a cause for alarm. The fact that the kid has been brainwashed into believing that knowledge is not important but some arcane rule about covering up is, it is the time we stand up and say enough.

After seventy-five years of Independence, if the minorities do not join stream, when are they is the question.

It is time to do the right thing and put full stop this political non-sense and make common uniform practice across all schools that cannot be compromised in principle.

कर्नाटक हिजाब विवाद तुल पकड़ता ही जा रहा है। जय श्री राम का नारा लगा रहे लड़कों के सामने अल्‍लाह हू अकबर का नारा लगाने वाली लड़की को जमीयत उलेमा-ए-हिंद ने 5 लाख रुपए इनाम की घोषणा थी।

ताज्जुब होता है इस हद तक की हठ_धार्मिकता पर, वो भी पढ़े लिखे लोगो की और एक धर्मनिरपेक्ष देश में!
