Why Purdah is considered as a sign of backwardness?

The argument is that wel ghunghat was followed in India even before the arrival of Islam. This is an argument used when someone come up with comments like Muslims (Mughals) brought this ghunghat to India, whereas women in areas (central Asia where Mughal belonged) didn’t follow such kind of purdah.

Pardah was followed long before islam.
My question is, on what basis did kkf say naqab is an indian/pakistani version of hijab ?

@Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta

niqaab is Indian/Pakistani version of Hijaab…in Islam, Hijaab is required, NOT burq’a or niqaab.
