Q & A Session 6: The Hijab Controversy: When is this moral policing going to stop?
The police officials said to Masa's brother that they were taking Masa at the detention center to reeducate her. However, witnesses reported that Amini was beaten in the police van and allegations that the police still denies. Today I am going to interviews AMAs who is an amazing and always provides insightful and strong opinions regarding various topics. So hi Priya, welcome and thank you so much for taking out some time for this conversation. First of all how are you?

Hey, Manalika. Good evening. And first of all, thank you so much for inviting me over here. I'm so overwhelmed. And really, this session is going to be awesome because you have really raised a very important topic which is to be discussed between people. It is really so much important to be talked of. Thank you

Thank you so much, Priya, for appreciating me. I think these topics are very essential and very important to put forward. I mean, there are some people out there who don't know about whatever is happening outside India, and I think they need to be educated about it. We should not only think about our own own country, but other countries regulations as well, because we do not know what the future beholds, right? It can happen to us as well

But if someone is on a traveling mode and if someone is wearing the dress according to their country and entering to some other place he must not be treated in this way. They must be first told that you are not wearing the dress which is required in this country or this place. And they are then warned that you must have that dress. Then you can enter to this place or enter to this country. This treatment was something this treatment was something which was really must not done

But you cannot justify killing somebody on the basis of your rules. Plus rules should be something that are formidably accepted by everybody. Because in Iran, almost like the majority of women do not accept these rules, they have to comply with these rules because they cannot do anything. If they'll go against it, they will get killed, which happened in this particular case

I think protest is the only way through which the changes over a larger scale can be made. Because when people try to solve the problems in a calm way, it really doesn't work. It works, but in short of cases, not this type of hazardous case. So, as all the youngsters have tried to solve this problem, have tried to raise their voice against the things which Das really happened, but the government of Iran is just misleading it

I mean, it's fine if it's your parents, but the whole government is strategizing towards you to kill you if you are not supporting these kind of stupid rules. That is something so crazy. And I saw a picture from Iran back in ninety s, I guess I don't even remember the exact time, but it was a lot of years ago and women were enjoying their rights more as compared to now

And I think every country should also support these women so that they can also live a life which they really deserve. Suppose if I was being in Iran and being a modern girl, being a girl who is living in this century, if I am being treated like that, it must be very something like you are not able to leave at that particular place. This situation must have happened

And yes, even I am glad that this particular situation, obviously it's a very unfortunate case, but the situation has one pros like that. The Indian media and all the media houses out there are finally focusing on this situation. They are trying to grab attention of all the people out there about what is happening in Iran and women are finally understanding that they have to fight for their rights

Next generation, the women of that particular place, Iran, will have really a life full of freedom, a life in which they can really breathe easily and with whatever they want to wear, they want to eat, they want to go the places, everything will be possible if this generation will follow their heart, will follow their rights. Because the thing which has happened in Iran, we cannot change that, definitely, we cannot. We cannot take that person back from the heaven

I have seen a lot of women out there, like not even Iran in every part of the world where they'll keep on saying that this should be rectified, that should be rectified, but they won't do anything for it, they'll just keep on saying but they won't take a step forward to actually try to implement those things. So that is something which is very essential to come forward and to take a step for something
