3 mn readBan on hijab (headscarves) in some colleges of Southern India has triggered a debate on religious freedom in the country. It started when in December Udupi’s Kundapur PU college in Karnataka (southern India) issued a circular for students to not wear hijab in classrooms for maintaining uniformity. The taken decision was not appreciated by students, right after some students were stopped to enter college because of their hijab. The matter escalated when some students started wearing saffron scarves to protest against the hijab wearing Muslim students. After a clash between students and police in one of the protests in Bengaluru, state administration decided to ban wearing of clothes that oppose equality, integrity and public order until the case is under hearing.
