While 'liberals' in India try to argue that hijab is a choice and make efforts to mainstream the garment in schools, women in Iran are getting killed and girls in Indonesia are being traumatised for it.
Kavita Krishnan compared the brutal torture of Mahsa Amini to the opposition by Hindu groups to selectively entertaining Muslim religious attire in government schools.
Amini was detained by Iran’s ‘Morality Police’ for wearing the Hijab in an 'improper manner' as she had not fully covered her hair. She was then beaten up and subsequently succumbed to injuries.
