Religious Symbol

Every body is very particular about his religion and faith. To a good extent for ages religion has been and once again become a bonding force for communities. People have become less tolerant about their religion and other aspect related to it.

To some extent use of veil, Burqua, Purdah, Hizab or naqab was ok in earlier times when society was not so developed and freedom to women was not a normal rule. Even the frequent wars between different groups were another reason to promote purdah so safeguard women from enemies.

Leave the women there is strong lobbying in US to allow turban and beard for Sikhs in Army. I feel that in present times people should be allowed to use their symbols of religion freely as long as they are not triggering trouble to others and society in general.
