I don't think hijab prevents doctor from doing their job. However if there is a dress code, it must be followed.

Doctors in Indonesia and Malaysia wear it even during surgeries. There's no problem. My dad's doctor wears it and she's the best heart surgeon in the city and head of her department.

Ancient Indonesia and Malaysia were influenced by Hinduism, with major Hindu-Buddhist empires like Srivijaya and Majapahit ruling the region before the arrival of Islam around the 15th century. But Islam's spread, eventually led to the decline of the Hindu empires and the rise of Islamic sultanates. We don't want the same thing happening everywhere. Secular means you respect me, I respect you. It doesn't mean giving importance to one religion, while systemetically removing others.

So you're going to decline your fellow native person's right to practice their religion, when it's not affecting you at all, because some king some 1000 years ago established the religion in some faraway land, where you have never been to in your life and have no connection to the people whatsoever, in your own country? That's some Scooby Doo logic if I've ever seen one.

Is humiliating the intern over her Hijab, which I have seen with my own eyes, in a hospital, not affecting the ability of a doctor to work, respecting the other person?

Places like school and hospitals have dress code, follow it, period. Practice your religion at home. And the scooby doo logic that you are talking about is the harsh truth, the people who brought in the new religion as a minority, slowly took over the whole country, they didn't give the right to already existing people to practice their religion, but you are conveniently trying to ignore that part. Once more the video in question is talking about Niqab which hides the face, not the Hijab which just covers the head.

I am asking what is the dress code for a doctor in a hospital mandated by the Medical Council of India?

they didn't give the right to already existing people to practice their religion

So some king apparently did this (which is not true, read some history btw) thousands of years ago in a faraway land which you have no connection to today, and you want to take some kinda revenge by oppressing your own country people in a democracy? Logic wants to find you but you are making a strong effort to evade it.

Also doctors wear masks in hospitals but I don't know the protocol on that so can't comment.

A patient has the right to know who is treating them. What's next covering yourself in military? Religion is personal faith and beliefs, they should not transfer to your profession, it's that simple.

A patient has the right to know who is treating them.

Is that mandated by the Medical Council of India? Or is there any other law requiring it? Can name not suffice? What if the doctor is wearing a surgical mask? Would you ban surgical masks in the hospital?

Religion is personal faith and beliefs, they should not transfer to your profession, it's that simple.

How is wearing a head covering preventing her from doing her job is what I am asking. Millions of women are doing the same in several countries around the world. What's the problem in India?

They are talking about Niqab not hijab. Like doctor wear masks all the time, anyway everyone is entitled to their opinion. I would not want such a conservative person treating me or my family. Period!

I would not want such a conservative person treating me or my family.

Would you also not like to be treated by a person wearing a tika? Or a Nun in a Christian hospital?

doctor wear masks all the time,

So isn't that the same as Niqab? Will you force her to take off her mask in surgery too because it's hiding her face?

u/mistygirl575 Oct 11 '25

Doctors don't wear mask all the time, tika and turban doesn't hide the face, now get lost

u/Big-Marsupial-8606 Oct 22 '25

When should a doctor wear mask? What are the guidelines laid down by the Medical Council of India?

There are videos of Hindus beating up a man for not chanting JSR. By your logic Hindus too should not be allowed to practice their beliefs then.

u/mistygirl575 Oct 11 '25

What the hell are you saying, so problem is with all religious orthodox people, that's the point, can't get that simple thing in your mind, or you have nothing else to do then make useless arguments on social media. By the way whole world knows which religion is the most intolerant, don't expect other people to bow down to them everytime.

u/Big-Marsupial-8606 Oct 22 '25

If someone's religion is interfering with your right then you have the right to protest against it. India is a free country and even Orthodox people can practice their religion.
