Kangana Ranaut who oftentimes land into trouble for her controversial statements shared her two cents on the ongoing Hijab controversy in Karnataka. Taking to her Instagram Story section, the Manikarnika actress shared a collage of two contrasting photos of women- one showing them in swimwear and the other in burqas, almost five decades apart. The photo was captioned, “Iran. 1973 and now. From bikini to burqa in fifty years flat. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Re-sharing it, she added, “If you want to show courage, show it by not wearing burqa in Afghanistan. Learn to break free, not cage yourself.” The post she re-posted was originally shared by author Anand Ranganathan. For the uninitiated, he has been very vocal about banning religious dress codes in schools.
Take a look at her post:
Meanwhile, the Hijab row started in Karnataka in December end when a few students started coming to the government pre-university college in Udupi wearing Hijab.
