Taslima Nasreen says the hijab is a symbol of oppression .

Taslima Nasreen, a Bangladeshi author, has weighed in on the debate surrounding wearing hijab in schools. Taslima Nasreen declared in an exclusive interview with India Today TV that the hijab, burqa, and niqab are emblems of tyranny. 

Taslima Nasreen's remark comes as the hijab dispute has extended throughout Karnataka and into other Indian states. The case challenging the hijab prohibition in educational institutions is currently being heard by the Karnataka High Court. 

"I believe that right to education is about right to religion," Taslima Nasreen remarked of the proposal for a uniform clothing code in schools and universities.

She also questioned if wearing a hijab is necessary. "Some Muslims believe that wearing the hijab is mandatory, while others believe that it is not. 

However, some misogynists introduced the hijab in the 7th century since women were considered as sex objects at the period. Men will have sexual urges if they look at women, they claimed. 

As a result, women are required to wear a hijab or burqa. They must conceal from men," the Bangladeshi author explained. 

"However, in our modern culture, in the twenty-first century, we have learned that women are equal human beings, and hence hijab, niqab, and burqa are symbols of oppression," she continued. Burqas, in my opinion, reduce women to their sexual parts."

According to Taslima Nasreen, the hijab, nikab, or burqa is demeaning for both women and men.
