It’s crazy but Bangalore is going medieval like the TV Soaps. We women are being told what we must wear or what we must not wear. We are asked not to go on the streets alone or unaccompanied. We cannot visit certain areas: pubs discos and places where “ muslim boys” will talk to us. We shall soon be asked to prove our chastity and our cultural identity.
Now Read this:
Taliban restrictions and mistreatment of women include these:
1- Complete ban on women's work outside the home, which also applies to female teachers, engineers and most professionals. Only a few female doctors and nurses are allowed to work in some hospitals in Kabul.
2- Complete ban on women's activity outside the home unless accompanied by a mahram (close male relative such as a father, brother or husband).
Welcome to Bengaluru!
3- Ban on women dealing with male shopkeepers.
4- Ban on women being treated by male doctors.
5- Ban on women studying at schools, universities or any other educational institution. (Taliban have converted girls' schools into religious seminaries.)
6- Requirement that women wear a long veil (Burqa), which covers them from head to toe.

7- Whipping, beating and verbal abuse of women not clothed in accordance with Taliban rules, or of women unaccompanied by a mahram.
8- Whipping of women in public for having non-covered ankles.
