Sonam Kapoor Got Into Trouble
Sonam Kapoor Faces Criticism
Sonam Kapoor shared a photo on her Instagram story. In this photo a Sikh man is wearing a turban on one side while a Muslim woman is wearing hijab on the other side. Sonam Kapoor wrote in the caption that if a Sikh can live in India wearing a turban then why can't Muslim women live wearing hijab. Hindu and Sikh extremists then took Sonam Kapoor by surprise and launched a trend against her on social media. People said that there is a big difference between hijab and turban and it is not right to combine them. A person's face is visible inside the turban while inside the hijab you cannot recognize who is hiding. This is a huge security issue due to which the ban on hijab has been made mandatory for female students coming to schools and colleges. In this regard those students who come wearing hijab will not be given entry in schools and colleges. Social media users said that Sonam Kapoor does not know anything about these religions so she should not be involved in this discussion.
Sonam's Statement About Criticism
After the criticism Sonam Kapoor deleted the post from her Instagram story. Sonam Kapoor said that she shared these photos only because if Hindus can live in India wearing turban then Muslim women should also wear hijab. There should be complete freedom to wear. India is a democratic country where all religions should have complete freedom. My intention was not to offend anyone nor to insult any religion. I just wanted to say that just as Hindus and Sikhs have full religious rights in India so should other minorities. There have been many religious riots between Hindus and Muslims in India in the past and the Indian government has already banned Muslim religious rites in many states. Now people across India are protesting against the ban on hijab in schools and colleges and are protesting everywhere.
Brave Muslim Girl
In the Hindu state of Karnataka Muslims have protested against the ban on hijab and have filed a case in court. During the hearing two days ago Hindus protested outside the court. A student who came to the college last week wearing a hijab was surrounded by a group of Hindus and chanted slogans. In response the Muslim girl also chanted slogans of Allah Akbar after which the video became very popular on social media. Muslims around the world appreciated the girl's confidence and congratulated her very much. Muslims in Pakistan and around the world supported this girl. The court then adjourned the case for a week.
What Is Hijab
Hijab is a religious ritual of Muslim women in which they cover their body and face with a cloth. So that when she goes out of the house no non-male can see her face. It is obligatory for Muslim women because their Islam teaches them this. But because India is a Hindu extremist state it has prevented Muslims from performing their religious rites many times before. This time too they have stopped Muslims from wearing hijab. The case is still pending in the courts. But Sonam Kapoor's pro-Muslim story sharing on Instagram has been criticized by many Hindu extremists and has become a trend on Twitter and Facebook. Since then Sonam Kapoor has become very upset and has refused to talk further on this topic. Muslims say no one can stop them from performing their religious rites and Muslim girls will go to school and college wearing hijab.
