Orhan Pamuk clarified
Actually, Orhan Pamuk raised questions about the hijab in Turkey in one of his novels ‘Snow’. There was a lot of controversy about it. Orhan Pamuk said about the hijab controversy during the interview that France banned the hijab for high-school girls, it’s fine but if you ban it on university going girls like this, then it’s human dignity is against. My novel ‘Snow’ is on this subject. He said that a minority in Turkey was deciding this (since the hijab was banned by secular nationalists), but more than 65 percent of Turkish women wore the hijab as a part of custom and not as an expression of political Islam. .
