'Education of women stopped in Mughal era and practice of ghunghat started'

'During the Mughal era, in order to save the lives of women, they were not given education as there was fear that if they step out, then the Mughal rulers or Muslims would abduct them. That is why, they were kept at home protected. But even after India got freedom, we forgot to bring them out of the four walls,' Patil said

Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil on Sunday said the practice of giving education to women stopped during the Mughal era out of security concerns and they had to start wearing 'ghunghat' (veil) for safety reasons.

He was speaking here during an event organised by members of the Jain community.
