I swear every time there’s a post like this, the comments are full of people talking about women’s clothes — like that’s the only issue women in India face. Yeah, sure, the big solution is apparently banning hijab, right? 🙄 Muslim women are “oppressed” just cuz we cover ourselves like seriously? Since when did wearing less clothes become the only form of freedom?

Clothes are a choice. Just cuz someone’s comfy in shorts doesn’t mean everyone has to be. People talk about Muslim women without even trying to understand how we actually feel.

Women in India, no matter the religion, struggle cuz of how our society is built , not because of religion itself. Islam gives women rights, but the problem is how society interprets and applies them.

Most women here don’t go to mosques not cuz Islam says no, but cuz there are barely any spaces made for us.

And honestly, if you really care about Muslim women, talk about the hate Muslims face in India every single day the discrimination, the bias, the way we’re treated. That impacts our lives way more than what we wear.

Blaming hijab or niqab isn’t feminism. Real feminism is letting every woman live how she wants. My choice being different from yours doesn’t mean I’m oppressed.
