Seeing fully grown beard all over my face, people usually confuse me with Muslims. I have no problem with that. But an incident happened today.. A white man asked me if I was a Muslim. With smile, I revealed I was a Hindu. He made funny face and he said " Whatever you are, you don't respect women....". I think he could hardly know the difference between Hindu and Muslim. For him all brown faces looks the same. But I wanted to defend Hindu. So i asked, "how could you prove that? have you done any study before making that statement?" He didn't speak another word. Whether he didn't know anything about Hindu or he didn't want to talk to me anymore, he just walked away. I didn't bother following him either. However, in my opinion, his statement wasn't not completly wrong.
There lots of Muslim rules that proves disrespect to women. But why would anybody who has studied and knows Hindu (Nepalese), think that we don't respect women? Did the man made that his statement ignorantly or he knew about us? Have your say......
