Hijab In Hinduism

Attire influences the impression about a person.

One of the differences between man and animal is clothing.

Attire is an important part of a civilized man.

Cloth is not meant to expose your body but to cover it.

Islam insists men to cover their body from belly button till knee and women to cover their body from tip to toe.
 
Not only Islam, every religion insists Hijab.

Hijab in Hinduism:

1. Rig Veda says about Hijab in the following way:

(Refer-verse 19)

"Cast down thine eyes and look not up. More closely set thy feet. Let none see what thy garment veils, for thou, a Brahman, hast become a dame.

2. When Purushuram comes, Rama tells his wife Sita that "He is our elder, please lower your gaze, and put on the veil."

(Maha veera chritra Act 2 page on 71)

Hijab in Christianity:

1. "For if a woman who does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

(Verse 5-9)

2. Thou shall not commit adultery, But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Hijab in Islam:

Islam says both men and women to lower their gaze.

24:30- [O Prophet]! Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity. That is purer for them. Surely Allah is all-aware of what they do.

24:31- And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their chastity, and not to reveal their adornments, except what normally appears. Let them draw their veils over their chaste, and not reveal their [hidden]adornments except to their husbands, their father, their father-in-laws,their sons, their step-sons, their brothers, their brother's son or sister's son,their fellow women, those [bondwomen] in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or children who are still unaware of women's nakedness. Let them not stomp their feel, drawing attention to their hidden adornments... Turn to Allah in repentance all together, O believing so that you may be successful.

Islam forbids two adult woman and men who are strangers to spend time in private. A Muslim woman is advised to go out with one of Four men [Father, son, husband, brother].

No one has the rights to interfere with the preference of wearing Hijab. Hijab is dignity and reputation.

 The legend Tipu Sultan , made and implemented law for wearing Top coat which was prohibited before.

 In Malabar port, Arabian merchants lowered their gaze when they talked to women. This made those women to marry those merchants.

Islam is reputed religion. Islam dignifies who follow it's path. The wise will think.
