Veils: Banned Burka Helpful?

  Veils, a dress code existing since ancient times. Romans, Greek and every noble lady used them. Sculptures all across Europe can be found with women wearing veils. It was worn by European women as a symbol of royalty through the Middle Ages. It was used as a symbol of honor and respect, common women and prostitutes were forbidden from wearing it. Only the noble and the worthy were to wear the veil.

  Veils like symbols of royalty also has religious values attached to it. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are just a few examples of such religions. Jew women can be seen worshiping with veils in Synagogues. Christian women in Churches. While the Muslim women can be seen in their everyday life wearing a Muslim veil known as Hijab or Burqah. MuslimWomen are found in different types of veils all over the world. Full coverings, Half coverings, Scarves and many different types of veils are worn by the Muslim women. An Islamic veil protect's women, and covers most of the body (Their are different types and ideologies now). 

   The Islamic veil covers a woman's body and makes her less provactive and that makes her a lesser of a victim for unsocial behaviours. There are many threats in this society, for women most of them occur due to provactive wear.
  The Delhi gang rape case being the latest issue in the sub-continent, shows that problems like these occur due to provocative dressing. The panel of judges set for the case were in 68% support with the dressing being the cause of such sort of violence. Madurai Adheenam a Hindu High-Priest said that women should wear clothing that would cover their body entirely. They should wear Purdah like clothing of the Muslim Women. The Muslim veil for today's world of rape and murder is the best fit.

  Thus,the talks by Madurai Adheenam show that he though being a Hindu accepts what Islam has to offer. The High-Priest acknowledges what other religions offer and right now what is necessary for the betterment of the people. I completely agree with his statement, but many countries disapprove the idea and are banning the full veil. To me it's an opression of justice and freedom. You cannot take someone's freedom of clothing away. If these women want wear Niqabs or Burqah's, it should be upto them. At the latest, France Burka Ban and Belgian Ban on Burqa are examples of bad democratic examples. I think the revolt against burkas is wrong. What Do You Think?
