Amana Begam, writing for ThePrint, argues that progressive activists who publicly criticize patriarchal practices rooted in Hindu traditions often remain silent when similar mistreatment of women occurs within Muslim communities and religious institutions. The source characterizes this selective criticism as hypocritical, using the example of Kerala cleric Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musliyar to illustrate what she frames as a double standard in how progressives address gender-based oppression across religious lines.
