Abstract

ABSTRACT: Purdah has always been a topic of discussion. It is usually associated with Muslim community but however some other communities like Hindu also follow it. But the major difference is the attachment of religious beliefs in Muslim community which makes it a compulsory custom. However due to modernization it is treated as backward custom. Many organization and in fact Muslims too oppose it because it limits the women mobility, freedom, autonomy, political and economic participation. As coin has two faces, purdah too. It protects the women from sexual harassment and molestation. It is the symbol of modesty and respect for them.
