France is moving toward banning the hijab in public. The penalty, apparently, is a hefty fine. I feel let down by France, the bastion of secularism. Why be so crass as to impose a dress code on the people? This is being spun as a woman-friendly measure, but no amount of spin can disguise a hurtful imposition. If the French are serious about enforcing this ban, there will be blood on the streets. And France may replace America as the Great Satan.
In India, women are free to wear what they wish. The photo below shows an early morning scene near Maharaja’s College grounds, M.G. Road.
