Your post had provided me with another point of view on this topic. I had no idea that things can work in this manner as well. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Thank you very much xlittlexmissxindyx
Subjugation of women in whatever extremity and/or by whatever means (cultural, religious, political, socio-economic) - anywhere in world - is wrong. Period.
I see a lot of finger-pointing in instances like these, the so-called "West" here talking about how backward "muslim" countries are with regard to women's rights, yet I see a right-wing agenda in the USA that basically wants to control women's rights. How is that more advanced?
There is no gender equality in plenty of powerful institutions in the so-called "developed nations", the military, church organizations, etc. - women are still discriminated against. Employment policies in the USA still have serious gender disparities making women apply for no credit check loans more often.
My point is for us as a society in general to see a story like this and immediately begin assessing blame and claiming some superiority while the same thing (albeit under different guises) is happening in our own backyards, does nothing to advance the cause of gender equality.
At the end of the day, let's not forget that women are human beings - and women's rights are really - human rights.

IT IS ABSOLUTLY DISGUSTING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT MAKING THESE GIRLS TAKING VIRGINITY TESTS
1984 will never be forgotten. I was only ten at the time and I saw the devastation left behind by the Indian Government at the most holiest place of the Sikhs. The Golden Temple.I remember it like yesterday. Attacks on Sikhs and their Gurus have not stopped. Recently the burning and tearing of the Guru Granth Sahib, The living Guru. This happened last week in Uttar Pardesh advocated by RSS a Hindu Extremist Organization. This will only stop when the Sikh Nation are Free.
The icon is very symbolic! It conveys a message that women must not be deprived of their rights. We all have the freedom to express ourselves because we can show to the whole world that we can do the things that men are capable of. We are not sexual objects because we must be loved. It would be a better idea that those who commit violence will be penalized which is equated to payday loan to shun this incident from aggrandizing.
The blog on the external link is very interesting. This is something i am still learning about as i delve more deeply into Punjabi culture and although at times the information i find makes hard reading, we owe it to ourselves to be educated and do everything we can to prevent such atrocities happening again. Thank you Harbakhsh Grewal Ji
