It was not not ban on burqa, but ban on niqab.You Indians can only do this, try banning the turban worn bu Sikhs, or even the burqa/niqab worn by muslim women in india.
The argument being a face veil stops people from interacting, and such a person usually withdraws herself into a shell. She cant integrate within the french society(remember most of them are immigrants, and are finding difficult to integrate).
Most french muslims do not wear niqab.
The other side of argument is it is personal choice, and this ban is politically motivated. Truth is somewhere in between these two.
Burqa is part of Indian culture now, why would anybody ban it.
However people in some part do not wear it because it is not part of their culture e.g. kashmir.
