While it is true that such an edict has been given it is far from true that it will ever be accepted or enforced in Bangladesh.

Unlike women in many other Islamic countries (including liberal ones on Malaysia / Indonesia) Bangladeshi women has never been subject to the burqha or hijab against her will. It is very rare to see in either capital Dhaka or the rural area the prevelant of these garments.

Moreover with the success of micro-credit schemes (99% of which goes to women) and the ready made garment (RMG) industry which predominantly employ women - the dynamics of family level equations have changed. Now more often then not the women pull the purse strings and hence have a big say about her family’s concerns!

Dogs can bark but it doesn’t mean we will be scared!

Have a look at my blog http://nazimfarhan.blogspot.com. Currently we are discussing the rise of Islamic forces in Bangladesh

Hello Nazim, thanks for your comment. Very truly said by you,”Dogs can bark but it doesn�t mean we will be scared!”. This should be the spirit which must be there within every Bangladeshi, particularly women. This can only teach these banned Islamic military groups a lesson that their threatning calls can not frighten brave Bangladeshis.
