From Konark to Women’s Choice: Modi Gets the Point About Freedom.....Rahul Gandhi Seems Selectively Blind to Patriarchy
Modiji: India has ancient sculptures depicting women in clothing that resembles what we casually call a “mini-skirt” today. Maybe stop pretending that every short dress is a Western cultural invasion.
Rahul Gandhi: apparently so busy proving how progressive and pro-Islam he is that questioning patriarchal expectations around religious dress becomes politically inconvenient.
That's the difference.
One refuses to let the West monopolise modernity. The other sometimes seems afraid to let feminism question religious patriarchy.
Modiji is winning this particular cultural argument by miles.

DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR ON ISLAM
Hinduism is said to divide people and in contrast Islam is said to bind people together. This is only a half-truth. For Islam divides as inexorably as it binds. Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity, but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity.
