Spotted! Sania Mirza in a hijab
by Ekta on Nov 13, 2006 03:01 AM

Hi all,I think this whole Sania Mirza spotted in a hijab issue has been blowed out of proportion. The girls just following the norms of her religion by covering herself up for hajj to mecca and medina. Give Sania a break because if she had been spotted for not being covered up the fundamentalist imams would have been on her case once again for not following religious norms. Tho as a modern Indian woman athalete she has full right to wear what she wants to wear on the tennis court and kudos to her for standing up to the religous right. Hindu women normally also dress up in a salwar kamiz, sari or atleast modestly before visiting a place of worship. So lets live and let live. And pray that sania wins tennis grandslam prizes all around the world and makes india proud. And a msg for rediff user mir who says all other religions came from islam needs a reality check. Thx.
