Re: Why is the hijab so rare among Pakistanis?
The key word is Islamic identity not Pakistani identity. It’s wrong to judge every Pakistani on their hijab habits. If anyone should be judged it’s the preachy types and most of them wear burqa. And I bet Paksitan has more burqas than Canada.
Another thing, the attire worn by most Paksitani women is pretty loose and is worn with a dupatta. Most of the women do a pretty good job of covering themselves up with just that, so burqa is just overkill.
