Objection to Kushwant Singh’s truly illogical view on Hijab

February 15th, 2010 § 2 Comments

Mr. Kushwant Singh projected such an illogical, irrational and baseless argument on Deccan Chronicle on 14th Feb, 2010 headlined “Hijab as emblem of backwardness”. I would like to have the wise readers to judge between the bogus and real arguments.

Here’s his goofy thoughts http://bit.ly/cmjaPO

Objection

Mr. Khushwant Singh rather appeared to be emotional than portraying the situation on a factual base. One got to

understand the difference among viel, hijab, parda and Burqa. Viel is the face garment used to cover the face
however Hijab is the basic constraint of the dressing for women in Islam which is never made mandatory to woman. A woman is expected to cover her body except her forearm and face. However, she is allowed to wear it if she feel that she would be commented on or teased.
This is absolutely is unfair the DC published these sort of illogical articles that are gushed out of the proportion and wisdom, but just the emotional ground. I would like to urge Mr. Kushwant Singh to explain logically and rationally that how would wearing the Hijab pull a society backward and not wearing the head garment would empower the Muslim women? illiteracy is backwardness and that’s caused Muslims to stay backward. Don’t try to divert the issue for your personal interest. One got to be impartial and non-prejudistic while analyzing a matter. There are enormous number of women wearing head garment around the Globe who’re on the mainstream. Why are you biased, excited and obsessed with the Muslims? Are there not Nuns and Saints who cover their hair? Sikh women do wear head scarf as per their testaments. Would you dare to tell that Sonia Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and our president Prathibha Patil who wear the headgear always are backward and heading the society to backwardness? Be rational, logical and truthful to your comments.
Sikh men, Arabs, Afghan men etc wear headgarment; would you dare to tell that covering their hair would pull them
backward? How does it make sense logically and rationally that it would make difference only to women? Why are you and other naive intolerants so excited to see Muslim women’s hair? One got to understand it with sports man spirit that it’s a custom or regulation followed by a region or religion and doesn’t have to be obsessed with it for no aparent reason
whatsoever.
A true follower has to be strict on his belief no matter which religion he follows and that’s not bigot. You got to understand its meaning. A true believer cannot be a intolerant with other religious. That sort of inclination is not taught by Islam. Islam clearly preaches to respect other religions. Learn Islam from its testaments, not looking at the Arabic named people around. A true believer of Islam is against the intolerant people who pull the people backward like Taliban. We’re completely against them as it’s purely way out of Islamic perspective.
According to the Islamic perspective, Pakistan or Bangadesh is not following Islam where as they are democratic countries which Mr. Singh has deliberately forgotten. Having named in Arabic doesn’t mean that one is following Islam. Covering the nudity properly is the simple of modest and dignity, not the other way around. If one thinks like uncovering the nudity would give one dignity and modesty, I would place the person out of context at all because he clearly has some other interests.
Islam instructed Men to put their eyes down to earth after the first look at the woman which is to recognize and has
instructed woman to put down her cloak covering the chest in order to avoid the indecent looks from men around which is evolved by a natural tendency. The so called celebrities, promiscuous or slut wouldn’t want to cover their body as they need to be marketed according to their body figure and men thoroughly enjoy them too.
Rather than just gushing and portraying Wahabi as a barbarian, try to learn from the History that the so called person has worked a lot to reform the soceity from the superstition and empower them according to Islamic perspective. On the contrary, as per your claims, the Africans who are not used to cover their nudity properly would have been on the verge of growth and empowerment.
You should rather be worried that why the divorce rate is going up? Why the rate of the parents sent to the old age homes are going up? If you analyze it, you would get to understand that reduction in the values have caused these sort of social problems for which the truly religious adherence is the way out. Being a bigot or intolerance would not make this happen, but true belief. You can see the contagious diseases such AIDS, syphilis as a result of the animal-life style.

    I am sorry, the formatting of the article made it difficult to comprehend. Please make it better :-(

    It is just that Kushwant Singh has no idea what he is talking about, as so many others around. And yes, he is messing up with the terms Purdah and Hijab :-)

    About his question – “How do the pro-hijabis explain the phenomenon of Muslim women Heads of States, as in Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslim women diplomats, civil servants, in business offices, air hostesses, police and the Army? ”

    I would say, the answer is “compromise”, in most of the cases, and “ignorance” in the rest of the cases. I did get some advise from my Non-Muslim friends regarding the removal of my scarf (compromise), before appearing for a job interview in US. They were my well wishers, who only thought Americans could be prejudiced at my dressing, and might ignore my skills. I had to say, I don’t care if they rejected me for that reason.

    Whoever asks me about removing the scarf and coming out to the so-called “brighter side of world”, this is what I normally ask in return – “What, according to you, do I change if I remove my scarf? I am not changing my family, home town, character, my intelligence, my knowledge or in that matter my job. The only thing that changes is my looks. So, isn’t that poor materialism and male chauvinism? Then why not take me as I am, and believe in me?”

    I guess that is the answer to all the prejudiced people out there.
