Banning a way of dressing or imposing a dress code are all the same right? What should be stopped is the coercion behind making unwilling females wear that attire. <br />Many Muslim women claim that they willingly wear it and gets a feeling of identity and security with that attire. Why you should deny them that right?<br /> Kamaladas the noted Malayalam Poet's name [who passed away recently]come to my mind in this context. During her final years she converted to Islam and started wearing a burqa.

In that case I will be pretty happy that Burqa is banned. I have a strong gut feeling that given a choice most gals would never wear a Burqa. Unless it is banned, they would be under tremendous pressure to wear one, allthough the pressure can really be an indirect and unseen one.<br /><br />Now - If I imagine myself being someone who really wants to wear a Burqa - but cannot because of the new law- in that case I would be a little pissed - but not for too long. Also, I strongly doubt someone would voluntarily wanna wear a Burqa - It is indeed a "a sign of subservience".Bud-Wiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491101007877386157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482064654402855982.post-47659194544872186932009-06-25T18:29:14.347+05:302009-06-25T18:29:14.347+05:30At first I thought it was a good idea but now I am...At first I thought it was a good idea but now I am confused... I think you are right, a ban is no better than a fatwa... and like Sraboney said there are more positive ways of helping women. This could be something like our Right wing parties proclaiming widow burning as saving a culture but harassing women who wear burka...
