No the Burqah is not the sign of backwardness and illiteracy, The forcing the women to wear them is a sign of backwardness and illiteracy. Women should feel free to have their choice not pushed to do it by their parents nor pushed NOT to do it by the government.
Coming from an Asian family set up (which values family ties above everything), do you think the women will rat out their male family members on the burqa issue. I don't think so. So Govt intervention keeping in mind the greater good of the women of the country is better than leaving the matter to a the choice of women.
