Deepak Ramola Unveils The Woman #UnderTheHijab
- JWB Post
- October 3, 2016
Hijab is not just a piece of cloth on a woman’s head, it is a powerful symbol of showing the world how truly diverse Muslim women can be. But, that’s not how many of ‘us’ understand.
Blinded by the million things that we’ve heard from people we never met, a woman under the hijab is looked upon as a voiceless being. What we fail to see here is the beauty that she holds, the power she possesses and the liberated ideas that she carries.
Deepak Ramola, the Mumbai-based educator had a close encounter with a Syrian girl, Sarah, called a terrorist by a bystander for wearing a Hijab in Hamburg. With an initiative to demolish the stereotype, on 23rd September, Deepak uploaded an image in the series with a caption ‘#UnderTheHijab is an incredible identity.’
“As an educator and a human being, I don’t want young minds to form hateful impressions of hijab-clad girls and women. The only way I know one can help change this perspective is using art. Art in its very core has the power of mass revolution and changing mindsets,” Ramola said in his post.
