Delhi Public School bars Muslim teacher from wearing burqa, triggers huge controversy

[noksss]

How is Chuthiyawal still silent on this issue ?

Why is he still not tweeting :

This is what happens when you elect a Hindu-nationalist as PM .Shame on you Modiji

out of thousands of kashmiris teachers, one can demand her right to wear full face veil.. what do you think DPS admin should do.

Only if she can justify it. Because I do not know if the school has boys too and of what age level .

still if the school rules do not permit any such right then I would say she has to abide by the rules of keep her own stand firmly and resign. If the dress code is based on faith then the school has to ban kinds of religious symbols of all faiths. Otherwise if only discriminating against one then rules can be changed.

Thirdly if the students and their parents give their consent for her right to dress like that then well something could be done as well.

Let women decide what is oppressive and what is not. Men are nobodies to regulate our bodies. It is not headach of a woman if a man does not like her all covered up or if a man does not like her wearing skirt or bikini.

.

Social reforms are country's prerogative ,In India too sati ,caste system was abolished, next will be triple talaq and polygamy slowly but surely we will evolve those who don't ,will be out of mainstream.

What ??
That was a new info.

we literally have a village at the outskirts of Peshawar where this is practice by Muslim women. It is kind of a tradition. I remember when I was a kid we also used to see brides having sindoor even in the colony where I live. These women usually were from suburban villages who were wed with the local boys in my area.

In other words you are adamant to impose Hindu code on all faiths in India.

Is that permitted in Pakistan or even in Islam?

Progressive women never endorse those black tents.

It is not permitted anywhere in the world that is the problem.

And there is nothing progressive about wearing skimpy dress either neither burqa. I out of my free will wear both "modern" dress as well as veil/burqa/hijab whatever you may call it whenever I feel where I have to take care of cultural sensitivities and any of these make it easy for me to do what I want to do. This does not make me backward or whatever you may call it.

Good decision. It is a private school. If you don't like their rules, there are other options.

You are lying if you are telling me burqa is progressive and not a symbol of male chauvinism and patriarchal society. Burqa cater to male insecurities.

You like wearing burqa with no religious connotations?

This is religious oppression ... India is multicultural society this is intolerance at its highest level ...

We must allow Teachers to wear whats ever they want ... Let that be a Sikh Teacher coming with a Big Kripan ( Talwar) hanging around his waists , or a Jain teacher coming Naked or a Hindu Teacher coming in a Dhoti and shawl why should Christians Teachers have all the fun...

I told you already I Wear it for my ease of working and investigation purpose and for my personal engagements and there is NO religious link here. And right to wear whatever a woman wants to wear is basic right be we want to wear burqa or a bikini. No man has any right to decide what is progressive and what is not

Because Missionary schools had been the best and quality ones. You cannot compare yours with their's

Thus more reasons not to allow it, it hinders security and people use it as a tool for other purposes hiding behind religion.

what other purpose? If I want to roam in Park without being noticed, if I am a known face and want to enjoy an ordinary trip to a hill station or if I want a peaceful lunch or coffee or cold drink with a friend without being noticed how does wearing veil in such cases is dangerous ?
