As I have passed my days, I have recognized different people in different society backgrounds.
I felt nervous about myself when I see the place in Islamic society after I come to Bangladesh. I spent a totally free life in Sri Lanka. I went out side with a t-shirt and a pant, but, when I see the girls in Bangladesh, I felt oh! Why is that?
I was curious to know about the secrets behind their ‘orna’ (veil). I asked many times why you are like this. Is that essential to cover your head?
They said, yes, they don’t have the right to show their head t others. They can show their head only for their husband.
Oh! That’s it. It means that they have to cover their head all the time when they are outside and in front of others.
I think it’s their culture. I feel as it limits their freedom. They can’t spend their lives as us. How much freedom we had?
Really, I feel it as totally different from ours. But, what the society expects through this?
Keeping a girl in captivity has limits her freedom. Only that…
Isn’t it?
