Abstract

The article offers information on Muslim veiling practices which have been subjected to fascination and loathing from Western countries. It highlights the controversies associated with the Afghan burqa also called chadri which has become a symbol to mock Muslims. Topics discussed include the embracement of Westernisation by Muslims, re-adoption of female veiling practices and the right of Muslim women to pursue freedom of religion.
