Sir: The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) always stressed upon the concept of a tolerant society, which prohibits the invasion of privacy. There is a growing tendency amongst the non- working middle- and upper-class women of our society to indulge in wayward fanaticism, perhaps because they have enough idle time, with servants doing most of the domestic chores. Some organisations perpetuate such attitudes by placing emphasis on burqa and purdah for women. The autocratic view of Islam strengthened by such fanatics further isolates women in our society and disrupts our traditional family structures. <b>The rejection of inter-cultural practices such as mehndis on weddings and Qul by religious fanatics is creating a cultural void in our country</b>. <b>While Islam calls for simplicity, there is no bar on observance of simple human rites on the death of a relative or the wedding of a child.</b>
I implore the citizens of our country to stand up for their right to live freely. A quest for knowledge and freedom is the road to salvation.
