Would you ever take off your hijab or turban to fit in more with society?

Would you take off your hijab or turban to fit in? Student Mariam Khattab made the decision to take off her hijab because of the abuse she was facing. She tells Qasa Alom about the difference in reception that she has had since taking her hijab off. After that, Qasa hears from two motorbike enthusiasts Shirshendu Banerjee and Arvinder Singh who have made it to the top 5 finals of the Whicker Radio & Audio Funding Award in London with their β€˜Biker Radio Podcast’. Plus Qasa is joined by our weekly sports panel who discuss Alistair Cook’s retirement from International cricket, the controversy surrounding the Nike advert and Amir Khan’s upcoming fight against Samuel Vargas. Later Qasa will be hearing about a brand new play called β€˜Beyond Shame’ in Derby which confronts forced marriages. The play was created by stories from survivors who work with the Karma Nirvana charity.
