Why only ban on burqa; Ban people wearing it!!!

Was the ban on burqa, an opaque indication to keep Muslims away from the St Aloysius College?

           An innovative idea of the St Aloysius College, Mangalore has hurt the sentiments of many Muslims across the city and state. An Undergraduate College in Mangalore has officially declared that a student wearing burqa will not be allowed in Class rooms and Exam halls.

             The pioneering idea by the college brought out with a prospectus which reads - "Students must be neatly dressed in accordance with the rule of approved etiquette. Girls are not expected to wear Burqa in classrooms and in examination halls. The decision of the principal in this regard is to be accepted."

             Will India be the next to ban burqa? Obviously this question crops up in every Indians mind after watching to the recent announcement by the St Aloysius College, Mangalore. Well, they are not only the one who thought of seizing the right to freedom of the Indian citizens; the pioneer morons are the people from Shev Sena. They brought forward the technique of banning burqa on October 2010, in Maharashtra, naming it as security concerns and not as the religious one. A sick theory I can say. Well, I’m not shocked by the inane decision of the bunch of Hindu fundamentalists who later went on hoisting Pakistani flags in the state. Seems like they are influenced by the color of the flag or they want to create dispute among the people; I can’t say exactly!

         Coming back to the topic, "The move is to bring uniformity in the classroom" AM Narahari, registrar of the college told NDTV. He adds, "Girls will not be allowed to enter classrooms and examination halls with the burqa. It is mandatory for the student to show her face."

             Now, the registrar has called for burqa ban in the class rooms, next he may ban in the campus, later, he might ban Muslims from the college and with the help of some idiots, he may also ban Muslims to breath around the campus. I know he can’t do that and neither Shiv Sena can do it on his behalf, they might be very busy in searching places to do their favorite job; yes, hoisting the Pakistani flags.

            Summer!!! Oh I think the college has forgotten that the summer could be another excuse that they can give to ban burqa; after all it absorbs heat most. And moreover, a girl does not look sexy at all in the burqa! So, this idea could help the college to get more admission next year as the girls might be in short skirts to maintain uniformity.

        The decision was not only restricted to the students, even teachers are told to remove burqa. According to the reports on (The Hindu dated 30/04/2012), Ms. Safiya Nayeem, a resident of Mangalore, said “When I met principal Father Swebert D’Silva for the interview, he told me that I would have to remove my burqa if I get the job. I said I did not mind not wearing the burqa, but I would not remove the head scarf. If he can wear a cassock what is wrong in wearing burqa? When the college authorities said the rule could not be changed, I rejected the job offer.”

            “They have no right to tell me what to wear or what to eat. It depends on my intrest,” Ms. Naseem said.

           "For reasons of uniformity and malpractice during exams, the burqa inside a classroom should be avoided. One cannot mix faith and education which involved discipline" says Franklin, Principal of St Johns Pre University in Bangalore.

          Mr. Franklin has given a good excuse to defend Mr. Narahari. But, I’m bit confused, How could a Principal be so illogical? In what grounding he suggested students, not to wear burqa in the class rooms just to protect Malpractice?

          

Here I want to ask a question to Mr. Franklin, Has he ever witnessed any girl who is indulge in Malpractice with the help of Burqa? If he says yes, where was his suggestion then? If he is nodding his head with no, then in what basis he claims that Burqa could be a part of Malpractice?

Kritika Bharadwaj, a final-year BBM student of Vidya Vardhaka College, Mysore says to the media, for every individual, the religious practices and culture is important and there's nothing wrong in wearing a burqa. If college authorities think burqa will help malpractice in examination halls, it's the responsibility of invigilators to keep a keen eye on students wearing burqas, she said.

Marimallappa's Pre-University College principal ME Shankarappa said, "Girls in our college don't wear burqas. But if they wear burqas to exam halls, we will deploy a lady faculty member to verify their identity."

I think there is no lady faculty in St Aloysius College, if there are, they might be afraid to see the girls in Burqa but the principal is obviously not.

And moreover, the Education ministry is so far silent on the Burqa ban in a private college in Mangalore. Well, I’m waiting for the Shiv Sena’s response on the ban now and of course, from the favorite child of RSS; Sadananda Gowda!
