Even Hindu females cover thier head with a dupatta ( of a salwar kameez) or the end of a sari but only takes place place in  Some conservative communities.But with modern times, such commms restrict doing that only till you are in the company of the husbands parents. \nAlso, females cover their head while in a temple.

That's an interesting question. I've actually heard that in cultures where a woman's breasts are constantly exposed, they aren't considered objects of sexual arousal like they are in cultures where they are normally hidden. This is sort of akin to when women's ankles were normally covered during the Victorian period. Back then, exposed ankles were considered titillating.

A sari is worn by desi women or any woman whatsoever that wants to wear one. Ever hear of a country called Bangeladesh whose national dress is a saree as well as being an Islamic nation? Idiot.\n\nIf you want to wrap it modestly, wrap it nivi style (the most popular), but when you are finished the the front pleats, dont tuck the extra on the sides. Take it immediately from the side and wrap it up around the side and back over the shoulder. There will be some loose fabric so just tuck inthe extra on the side. You may also pin the side (not covered by the pallu), into the choli and tuck the remaining in near your belly button. It really is very simple and absolutely no skin shows.

There are several clear indicators of the fact that Indian women continue to be discriminated against: the sex ratio is skewed against them; maternal mortality is the second-highest in the world; more than 40 per cent of women are illiterate; and crimes against women are on the rise. Yet, the women's movement which gathered strength after the 1970s, has led to progressive legislation and positive change, spurred on by the participation of women in local self-government.\n \n\n \nRoots of discrimination / Beginnings of change / Status of women in India / The women's movement / Legal status / Political participation / Minority rights / Current concerns\n\nIt is a paradox of modern India that women wield power and hold positions at the topmost levels, yet large sections of women are among the most underprivileged. Some women from the upper classes head political parties and command large followings, yet women's representation in the Parliament and state legislatures has not been more than 10 per cent.\n\nThe roots of discrimination against women lie in the religious and cultural practices of India. The beginning of changes started with the reform movements in the nineteenth century, which addressed practices like sati, child marriage, life of the widows, etc. The status of women in the contemporary context is reflected in the state of their health, education, employment and life in society.\n\nThe Indian women's movement started with addressing the problems that women faced, like violence, property rights, legal status, political participation, and the rights of minority women. Today, Indian women have won several victories against an oppressive way of life and are poised to raise pertinent questions that will make their lives more emancipating.\n\nWHERE DO THE ROOTS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN LIE? \n\nThey can be traced back to ancient Hindu civilisation. Although some studies point to the equal status and rights that women enjoyed in the Vedic period (2500 B.C. to 1500 B.C.), patriarchy seems to have been the norm throughout history.\n\nIn the later Aryan period after 300 B.C., domination by the Brahmins (the priestly class), the growth of the caste system and other factors led to social decline. Child marriage became the norm, wives were expected to worship their husbands, barren women were thrown out of their homes and widows were not permitted to remarry. Many of these vicious customs are still observed in parts of the country. \n\nOther religions, like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism or Islam, have questioned some of the practices in Hinduism, but, by and large, all religions have kept their women in varying stages of confinement and restrictions. The Bhakti cults tried to restore women's status and questioned some of the forms of oppression. \n\n\nTHE BEGINNING OF CHANGES\n\nOne of the fallouts of English education for the middle class during the colonial period was a change in attitude towards women. Through the Arya Samaj and the Brahmo Samaj, the Bengali middle class questioned the rigidity of brahminical Hinduism. Social reformers like Raja Rammohun Roy opposed sati or the practice of burning the widow on the husband's funeral pyre. The government abolished it in 1829. Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar's crusade for widows led to the Widow Remarriage Act of 1856. Several decades of agitation led to the Child Marriage Restraint Act of 1929 that stipulated 14 as the minimum age of marriage for a girl. Education of girls through formal schooling was another major concern. The All India Women's Education Conference held in Pune in 1927 became a leading organisation in the movement for social change. \n\nWomen played a major role in the struggle for freedom from colonial rule. In 1917, the first women's delegation met the Secretary of State to demand women's political rights. The Indian National Congress supported the demand. In 1949 independent India gave them their due by enshrining in the

Yes they do. You can request to not have them put on if you would like. For my mother-in-laws funeral we told them that we did not bring a bra ( they told us to bring one) Because she never wore one in her life. You can request anything. Although who will look underneath her clothing to see if they put them on???

Please don't confuse tribal customs with Islam. Muslim men are commanded to cover themselves. The Muslim women who wear the burka do so because of tribal and social customs, it is not a command of Islam. Women are commanded to cover their beauty, draw their veils over their bosoms. Most Muslim women dress just like everyone else, we just wear looser clothing that does not reveal our body and we cover our hair. There is no command that we wear a specific type of outer garment such as a burka or a abaya, that is a custom of the country's where they are worn. Men are commanded to cover certain parts of their bodies and both men and women are told to lower their gaze and not to look for members of the opposite sex in a sexual way.
