No. It is religious. The Hadith that state the requirement for headcovering also suggest that it is to designate the women as Muslim women. So the focus isn't really modesty. Clearly, a woman can be modest with or without covering her head.
CA -- nah. sorry :D

lol I think I'm confused :p
Anyway, I think that modesty is about more than what one wears. It's about attitude and the way one carries oneself. Plus I don't know that you can compare who is more modest than someone else.
well u cant exactly...but how we present ourselves shows how we are..n if it doesnt then why dont we all dress like hoes?? after all, wat we wear doesnt measure our modesty...

Yah of course what we wear matters! I just don't think it's the only determinant of modesty. And I don't know that you can ensure modesty just by covering a person up all the way.

HAHAHA, Matsui, I love your contempt for our cultural oddities and stupidities, I share them too.
My wife always makes fun of pretentious desi girls who act all muslim and stuff when they dress up, she always asks them if they think they will go to hell because their ankles are showing. It's actually kinda embarrassing come to think of it.
BRB, gotta go beat my wife...
