Mustafa modernized Turkey because he wanted Turkey to evolve like the rest of the world was. He made such changes as everyone could not wear the usual holy clothing the Hindus wore. Instead people from Turkey had to wear ties, pants, dress shoes and button shirts. He allowed women to vote in 1934. He banned Fez's from the country and told the people they had to wear hats. He said that the hat represented ignorance and how they didn't adapt to the rest of the world. Mustafa separated religion from cultural, educational and legal affairs. Everyone was free to practice any religion they desired. Secular is relating to the doctrine that rejects religion and religious considerations. Which is what Mustafa did in Turkey.
