The world’s largest democracy gets it done.

A professor at an Indian university refused to teach in a burqa. The student union told her she had to.

The university refused to back her up. She went to the media and made a humongous fuss.

In the wake of a “public outcry,” the minority affairs minister intervened.

After not being able to teach for three months, she is back in the classroom. No burqa.

**********************************


Says here that all of the other women
teaching at this university have agreed to wear the burqa.

Now that Sirin Middya has lifted the veil, I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
