why in indian culture

[system]

@Niksik

It wasn’t as much as show off, but more like the tradition…now these days, things and intentions have changed I guess.

true
but noone answered my question.

@Hashmat Usmani

by the way, i’m from India and i can tell you that there is Hijaab/parda/veil in Hinduism as well. women folks in rural india, which comprises over 75% of the population, take ghunghaT [veil] and their culture is more restrictive on women than ours.

interesting but whats the point covering face and leaving abs open?
