In India, there are girls who can’t go to uni just because they wear hijab. While in France, on president election 2022, there is a plan to ban hijab in public after this country successfully bans hijab in certain places including university. My question is what is the fuss over this piece of clothing called hijab that there are people threatened by it?
There is no harm to other people because someone wearing a hijab. It is the same with everyone’s fashion choice, albeit a little bit different. There is no effect as well in the body of the women wearing hijab. It is not like their brain’s capacity decreases or something.
Also, in Indian constitution, there is a freedom granted by the country to practice a religion and there shouldn’t be a discrimination towards anyone receiving education. But the court still insisted that women in hijab can’t be a part of education in certain area (read more about this topic here).
While in Europe, France promotes “freedom” as one of its national motto which is liberté, égalité, fraternité (“liberty, equality, fraternity”). However, at the same time, the country forces muslim women to dress according to their liking. I wonder, which kind of “freedom” is that to limit people choice of clothes, which is proven to be harmless to anybody?
