Indian lecturer barred from teaching by students for refusing burka

[GreenFoe]

Aliah University in Calcutta is the first Muslim university in India's West Bengal state and has no formal dress code, but its student union has demanded that female teachers cover themselves with a Muslim veil in class.

Sirin Middya told the Indian Express she had refused to comply and had been prevented from teaching for three months.

"Most of the teachers do not like the diktat of the students to wear the burka, but they have no option but to accept it," she told the newspaper. "This is the Talibanisation of educational premises and there is no one to come to our rescue."

Siamat Ali, secretary of West Bengal Madrasah Students' Union, was unrepentant.

"There are eight women teachers at the university. It was decided through consultation that the women will observe purdah (wearing the veil), and most teachers agreed," he said. "Only this lady has a problem."

The university has played down the row, calling it a "stray incident", while West Bengal's minister for minority development has been informed and has yet to respond.

Is this a joke?

Maybe, just maybe France did the right thing.

Teacher should follow rules. It's a muaalim university so wearing burqa should be mandatory.

Old news. She was fired eventually for not giving in to extremists.
