You know that's not what I'm saying, for eg. I don't expect Indian schools to start accepting mini skirts just coz they're accepted in Japan.
On the other hand, Islam has been part of India for millennia, its a part of its culture and history. Or are you going to refute that as well?
These girls are the daughters of the soil, they are staunch Indians and their religious freedom should not be taken away from them.
That is I am asking that why is hijab no longer allowed when it was previously not a problem? Hindutva lovers or you as an Indian tell me.
There are two criticism.
India is not a secular nation despite how loud Hindutva yell on any forum. Constitution on paper mean nothing when it can't be implemented on ground.
Technically BJP has already declared India as Hindu nation but even after they officially declare it and then place a banned on religious attires ? of course not, because in a secular country one is allowed to wear whatever they wish to as long as it not offensive and modest - that is text book definition of secularism, forcing others not to wear any religious attire is not secularism at all, it is taking away their freedom to chose, authoritarianism and Hindutva ideology by default and recent actions taken by BJP and its goons represent authoritarianism.

Not really but you can keep saying it on top of your voice as well, I understand you haven’t been to India and there are enough issues implementing law in South Asia, but first laws should be written in which India has won the battle, second is implementing it which will happen with time irrespective of rhetoric.
The Wheel always turns and India will remain secular whether you want it or not.
If i was to give into random posters on this forum India was finished in late 2000s lol.
No longer allowed?
Do you have any proof of your claim that it was allowed in that school earlier? That claim seems to be a lie.
Read the first post of the thread. Students didn't use wear hijab earlier.

Its not about the colour, but about separate religious clothing.

I have read reports that girls have been wearing hijab in the school for years. They were doing so until a few weeks back before it was banned. Now these idiots are fighting over saffron scarfs and hijabs. Such ridiculous things can only happen in your India.

The situation is getting very serious with violence at several places in Karnataka and big protests in Chennai as well.
1. Girls themselves have said that they started wearing hijab to classes since December 2021.
2. College claims that no student has worn hijab in class in 37 years.
3. Students decided that they need to wear hijab after joining campus front of India.

It's amazing a country creating so much problems for it's own citizens when it calls itself secular. You can say what ever you want but there is no doubt they are deliberatly targetting muslims here. Hijab is mandatory for muslim women and I just fail to understand why this is even an issue when there are 25 crore muslims in the country.
Uniform civil code in a country like India where those who chose to follow their religious has to wear either pug, hijab, bindi, etc?
India can't have uniform civil code and frankly, India does not need one.
India has royally messed up the concept of secularism. Unnecessary negative headlines for no reason other than to show their supporter they aren't running the politics of appeasement.
It is just Hijab, a harmless article of clothing, and this whole thing could have been avoided if the rise in bigotry against minority didn't needed daily push for nothing else but political gains.
Ridiculous.

Educational institutions have a right to enforce a dress code. If anyone don’t like it, go somewhere else and attend Religious schools who ever may be.

May Allah grant Mohammad Ali Jinnah the highest rank in Jannah for saving 220 million Pakistanis and 170 million Bangladeshis from the scourge of Hindutva.
Thank you Mr. Jinnah
Thank you Mr. Jinnah
This!!
No number of CEO in western companies ( almost every Indian CEO in the western enterprise will be forced to speak against enforcing girls not to wear hijab), no number of billionaires and no amount of FOREX can be enough to give up on a freedom Muslims of Pakistan and Bangladesh have.
Economy can always get better within a decade but this rise in bigotry will have hold for generation after generation.

To be fair though, foreigners are bailing on Indian economy, . Foreigners can see for what Hindutva really is, and what it means for India. Already dubbed the 4th Reich. The economy in India is built on myths, and perception is reality, even Indians are bailing on their motherland. The gap between rich and poor is forever expanding, and the number of unemployed is heading for the moon. The only thing growing in India is right-wing nationalism/terrorism, coupled with bigotry. 20 more years of Modi please.

Bhopal: The controversy over the wearing of hijab (headscarves) by students crossed the state borders of Karnataka and surfaced in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and Puducherry today. As the Karnataka High Court – in response to an appeal by five women students in favour of headscarves, appealed for peace -- a minister in Madhya Pradesh ruled in favour of "discipline" and an "uniform dress code".
In Puducherry, the authorities have asked the head of a government school in Ariyankuppam to inquire into allegations of a teacher objecting to headscarves in class.
Karnataka Chief Minister Basavraj Bommai has ordered closure of all schools and colleges in the state for the next three days amid statewide row over wearing hijab by students. The controversy had started last month after students at a college in Udupi said they were barred from classes for insisting on wearing headscarves.
Right-wing groups took up the issue and raised objection to Muslim girls wearing hijab in class.
Supporting the ban on Hijab, Madhya Pradesh School Education Minister Inder Singh Parmar said the government will give priority to discipline.
"Hijab isn't part of school uniform, which is why wearing it should be banned in schools. Traditions need to be followed by people at their homes and not at schools. We are working on strict enforcement of dress code at schools," he said.
Asked if hijab will be banned in schools of the state, the minister said if need be, a decision will be taken after examining the issue.
"The minister needs to tell us what is his priority: Working on proper functioning of schools amid the Covid and improving quality of education by filling vacancies in government schools or pursuing the agenda of communal divide," said Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafiz.
"Our country's constitution has granted every citizen the right to practice his/her religion but the BJP government is trying to deprive even school-going children of their religious practices. Turban wearing by Sikhs and wearing of Hijab by Muslim women has been going on for decades. But this government wants to put an end to these age-old traditions, which speaks volumes about the mental bankruptcy of those presently in power," he added.
Madhya Pradesh has around 1.25 lakh government schools, where there is provision for school uniform. The state government funds the uniforms of students from Class I to Class VIII.
In Puducherry meanwhile, a spokesperson of the Directorate of Education said they have received complaints from student groups and other organisations regarding a teacher who allegedly objected to a head scarf worn by a student.
"We want to know what has actually happened and further course of action would be decided after receiving a report from the school," the spokesperson was quoted as saying by news agency Press Trust of India.
The local head of the Left-backed Students Federation of India said the girl had been attending classes wearing hijab for the last three years and questioned why the objection came up now.
He said they have also received complaints that some schools in Veerampattinam, Embalam and Tirukanoor are encouraging "drills" similar to the ones conducted in programmes of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the BJP.
"We want a detailed probe into this also and prevent intrusion of saffronisation of institutions with the active encouragement of a section of officials," he said, reported PTI.

Muskan, the student in hijab seen standing up to a large group of saffron scarf-wearing men at a college in Karnataka today, said she "was not worried" about facing them alone and that she would keep fighting for her right to wear the hijab.
In a confrontation caught on camera and viral on social media, Muskan is heckled by slogan-shouting young men wearing saffron scarves, but she fights back, at the Mandya pre-University college.
As the hecklers shout "Jai Shri Ram" and advance towards her, Muskan shouts back: "Allah hu Akbar!" She keeps shouting the words as the group seems to follow her to the building. Finally, officials seem to escort her away from the men.
"I was not worried. When I entered the college they were not allowing me just because I was wearing the burqa," she told NDTV.
"They started shouting Jai Shri Ram. So I started screaming Allah hu Akbar. The principal and lecturers supported me and protected me."
She said while she knew about 10 per cent of the men in the group as students at the college, the rest seemed to be outsiders.
"Our priority is our education. They are ruining our education."
Colleges across Karnataka have seen rising protests by hijab-wearing students on one hand and men wearing saffron scarves on the other.
The protests started last month at the Government Girls PU college in Udupi when six students alleged they had been barred from classes for insisting on keeping on the hijab.
The protests spread to more colleges in Udupi and other cities like Mandya and Shivamogga, with college staff banning the hijab - though rules allow it - and many students taking a confrontational position by showing up in saffron scarves and shouting slogans.
"This only started last week. We used to wear the burqa and hijab all the time. I wore the hijab in class and used to remove the burqa," Muskan said.
"The hijab is a part of us. The principal never said anything. Outsiders have started this. The principal has advised us not to carry the burqa. We will continue to protest for the hijab. It is just a part of being a Muslim girl..."
The second year Commerce student said her Hindu friends supported her.
"I feel safe. Since morning, everyone has been telling us we are with you.
Multiple incidents across Karnataka today saw the hijab versus saffron scarves fight taking a more communal turn with violence in cities like Harihara and Davengere. As protesters threw stones at each other, the police had to use tear gas and batons to restore order.
The government has declared all schools and colleges shut for three days.

Modi bakhts are extremely dangerous individuals. Seen videos of religious leaders calling for massacre. I am sure this is not what their religion teaches them? And now this Hijab row. That woman is brave to stand up to a bunch of cowards. It’s only a matter of time before a individual is lynched to death. Scary.

Beauty of Muslim females, stop one from practicing, the other will do whatever they can to support them.
Nothing maligned about in this because most Muslim female will support other Muslim females in this matter - had happened in France, Montreal and other places.
Good on this female for standing up against un-educated, nothing better to do other M than spread hate in their own country.

Strange conclusion once again.
The standard of Indian posters is slipping.
Think twice before commenting on the treatment of women. India is known as a rape capital for a reason.

Pakistan too known as Terror capital for a reason, that doesn't mean all are terrorists.
Same applies to you rape example.
You got hurt for the wrong reason.
Sad that she has to build that kind of a confidence in a country that claim to be secular.
Issue is you have no idea what uniform civil code is. Think you are confusing Uniform Civil Code with school uniform...lol.
UCC means to formulate and implement secular personal laws of citizens which apply on all citizens equally regardless of their religion.
At one end you want India to become secular but don't want Uniform civil code and keep religious laws intact.
Case of wanting both cake and cherry?
Take it from me, uniform civil code will be implemented in India before 2024 elections...I guarantee you that. But this is not the thread to debate about it.
Again, you aren't comprehending the meaning of secularism.

Rahul Gandhi coined the statement about rape capital, not me.
Anyway, the point is that when confronted with an actual real-life example of racist toxic misogyny, the poster automatically made up a hypothetical situation about Pakistan and Afghanistan, and based on his own made-up situation concluded that India was better.
Laughable.

Asliyat comes out.
1. Girls themselves have said that they started wearing hijab to classes since December 2021.
2. College claims that no student has worn hijab in class in 37 years.
3. Students decided that they need to wear hijab after joining campus front of India.
The college has been a hub of fervent political activities over the past year. In October 2021, a few Muslim students of the same college were pictured with a Campus Front of India banner. The photograph was taken after the Muslim students attended a protest by the ABVP. A message along with the photograph shared widely on social media read, "These students had participated in a protest without knowing that it is a protest by the ABVP. After Campus Front of India leaders counselled them today, they joined the Campus Front of India of their own volition."
The students recalled that they were counselled by the Campus Front of India members. Some of the students from the October incident are among the ones now insisting their right to wear the hijab in the classroom. "We approached the CFI (over the hijab issue) after talks between parents and the college authorities did not lead anywhere," says the student.
Thanks! This post exposes the whole saga in totality. This was basically a political plot timed to align with the elections.

so much for the south being different to the north, bigotry and hindu extremism has spread across India like a cancer.
where did [MENTION=133135]kaayal[/MENTION] go, she was one of the few members who could give an honest account of whats going on in that part of the world.

Not really. The boys from the right wing came with their own dress code violation (red scarfs etc.) saying "If she can break dress code so can we". Dress code discipline applies to everyone. She is the one breaking the rules. Certain religious groups feel entitled above law and break it at will.

And? You are scraping the barrel by spreading misinformation. This isn't India, in the West (as you are learning), we are taught to verify information. So desperate you are that you didn't even read the article yourself, just picked the headline. The very essence of propaganda. As I said you are not in India when the majority are illiterate.
And yes I do have a reference for India.
India ranks number 1 in poll of the world's most dangerous countries for women :
https://www.feba.org.uk/blog/india-...the-worlds-most-dangerous-countries-for-women
And before you say it, the report is run every 5 years. Next report is in 2023.

Do better. The article you cite is from 2017 has been superceded by article from 2018 which I cited. Which field/company do you work in again. I pity your employer.
2018 report:
India
Afghanistan
Syria
Somalia
Saudi Arabia
Pakistan
Democratic Republic of Congo
Yemen
Nigeria
USA
From the report I cited : Ranking at number 4 in 2011's survey, the latest report* sees India move to the top of the poll with critics arguing that this demonstrates not enough is being done to protect women's rights in the country.
We are not all Western, you are certainly not despite fleeing 'incredible' India.
You have much to learn about Western data/thought process. You can't even decipher chronological dates with out coughing up a moth ball.
Point being, you will be picked up on propaganda and incompitence, even though you pretend to be an Indian living in the West.
Have fun!
So are you saying that these girls suddenly turn up to college one day with their hijab on? Behave, lets be sensible here.
1. Girls themselves have said that they started wearing hijab to classes since December 2021.
2. College claims that no student has worn hijab in class in 37 years.
3. Students decided that they need to wear hijab after joining campus front of India.
The reports I have read say they have been wearing hijab for a long time. I don't think they can be that stupid just turning up with a hijab on without asking or feeling it was allowed. I see that many if not most colleges in India do allow hijab then why not this one? As I always say the law of the country is the most supreme above everything else that must be respected and obeyed by everyone. What has the court decided?
I will also add that i disapprove of the face veil. That should be banned as it conceals the face.

The youngest Nobel Prize Laureate, Malala Yousafzai and Federal Minister Fawad Chaudhry along with popular hosts Fakhre Alam and Shafaat Ali have expressed disappointment in a viral video of a Muslim girl being harassed by a right-wing Hindu group in India's southern Karnataka state.
In the said clip, a Burqa-wearing Muslim student, Muskan Khan, who was heckled by Hindu far-right goons, can be seen bravely making her way towards the varsity amid the chaos.
Sharing an article on how the state has banned the hijab in the university, Yousafzai shared, "Refusing to let girls go to school in their hijabs is horrifying. Objectification of women persists — for wearing less or more. Indian leaders must stop the marginalisation of Muslim women."
Chaudhry penned, "What’s going on in Modi's Endia is terrifying." He added, "Indian Society is declining with super speed under unstable leadership. Wearing hijab is a personal choice just as any other dress citizens must be given free choice."
Hollywood actor John Cusack also shared his stance and called out the growing fascism in India.
Alam, too, shared his two cents on the matter. "If there ever was a clip of girl power in history this is it," the host shared in a tweet. "A clip of bravery, self-belief, faith, courage all rolled into one. Salutes to this sister and prayers for her safety."
Sharing artwork of Khan’s brave picture, Ali wrote, "Let's do this."
Bollywood ace producer and actor Pooja Bhatt also shared her two cents. "As always, it takes a pack of men to attempt to intimidate a woman. Such frightened, pathetic excuses for human beings. Brandishing their shawls as weapons, cloaking their weakness in cruelty. A sizeable section of a rudderless generation lost to hate."
Backstory
Muskan Khan who was heckled by the RSS goons told India’s NDTV, "We will continue (our protests) because it (wearing a hijab) is a part of being a Muslim girl; They (friends from other communities) even supported us." As she parked her scooter inside her college, students with saffron shawls – typically worn by Hindu extremists – shouted at her and tried to surround her, but she remained unfazed by their chants of “Jai Shri Raam” and continued walking towards her classroom while confronting the mob.
“I was just there to submit an assignment; that’s why I entered the college. They were not allowing me to go inside just because I was [wearing] the burqa,” Muskan told a local news channel.
“After that, they started shouting the slogan ‘Jai Shri Ram’ (Hail Lord Ram). Then I started to scream ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great),” she said, adding that she would keep fighting for her right to wear the hijab.

Please explain in details what do you mean by constitutional judgement? Will the judgement come today or not?

Every female in India, of every religion, should wear the burqa. At least will save them from the eyes of the lecherous and chauvinist indian males. Burqa may be a symbol of patriarchy elsewhere, but in India it will empower females and save them from toxic patriarchy.

Lol. Supporting Mullah is really not an option even from a symbolic gesture standpoint in fight to hooliganism by saffron monkeys. They come from shared ideology.

In Pakistan: police would come for you and your goon friends and beat the goon out of it.
In Afghanistan: for far lesser things they could kill you, literally.
If you wanna try this attitude in Pakistan or Afghanistan, I'll pay for you and your goon friends visa, travel, hotel expenses heck I'll even throw in some pocket money

Welcome back bhai, long time no see
On topic, I'm pretty sure Karnataka hasnt been consumed by the Hindutvirus yet so the ruling might actually be in favour of the hijab but the Rwandisation of India continues

Bengaluru: A minister in Karnataka, BC Nagesh, claimed today that the burqa-clad college student who was caught on camera yesterday standing up to a mob in saffron, made the first move in her show of defiance, and questioned why she "provoked" them.
"They did not want to gherao the girl. but when she was shouting... when she was shouting Allah-hu-Akbar, there was not a single student around her. Why she provoked saying Allah-hu-Akbar in a college campus? Can't encourage "Allah-hu-Akbar' or 'Jai Shri Ram' on campus," Primary and Secondary Education Minister BC Nagesh said.
"No one can take law and order into their hands. The government will not spare any miscreant," the minister said.
Videos of the confrontation at the Mandya pre-University college, were widely shared yesterday amid the escalating row over the use of hijab in educational institutions.
In the videos, the young woman, identified later as Muskan, is seen parking her scooter and heading for classes when a group of men shout "Jai Shri Ram" and advance towards her, brandishing saffron scarves.
Without breaking her stride, she responds with "Allah-hu-Akbar!" raising her arm in the air. As the men rush towards her and follow her, she keeps walking, shouting "Allah-hu-Akbar!"
Within minutes, college officials approach her and escort her away.
Muskan later told NDTV, "When I entered the college they were not allowing me just because I was wearing the burqa... They started shouting Jai Shri Ram. So I started screaming Allah hu Akbar".
"The principal and lecturers supported me and protected me," she added.
She also said most of the men heckling her appeared to be outsiders. She said she knew about 10 per cent of the men in the group as students at the college.
The hijab controversy started in Karnataka last month as six students of the Udupi's Government Girls PU college alleged that they were barred from attending classes for insisting on wearing their headscarves.
The matter escalated as right-wing supporters got involved. As staff in many colleges banned hijab - though rules allow it - many students took a confrontational position by showing up in saffron scarves and shouting slogans.
The protests have spread to colleges in other areas like Mandya and Shivamogga. Its ripple effect is being felt in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh and Puducherry.
The Karnataka High Court, which is hearing petitions filed by five women from a government college in Udupi, questioning hijab restrictions, appealed for peace yesterday.

Think about it other way, if a person shouts 'Jai Shree Ram' openly in a campus infront of muslim mobs....he or she would perhaps get killed. We just saw what happened to that Srilankan guy.
Here she is openly doing religious sloganeering infront of a hindutva mob bcoz she is well aware that she is safe under India's secular umbrella.
The girl had full confidence in Indian secularism and rule of law. She knew nobody would harm her if she chanted ‘Alllah-u-Akbar’.
Imagine what would happen to a Hindu girl in Pakistan if she shouted ‘Jai Shree Ram’. We all knew what happened to two Christians who recited the Bible in a Lahore park and what happened to a Sri Lankan manager recently.
What astounds me is the hypocrisy of a very vast number of Pakistanis. They laud Muslim female marchers in India but vilify women when they march for their rights in Pakistan.

LOL - who are you fooling, is that comment to make oneself feel good ?
The same secular country which is preventing her from wearing a hijab that she had to yelled out to repel them, or is it a same secular umbrellas where the term 'Love Jihad" is coined to gain political mileage, same secular country where one is killed for transporting a cow, or the same secular country where Muslim are forced to lick their own spit? -lol.
If we lived in a world where people only knew about Indian Yoga, spices, dance and kamasutra then one would be blindly inclined to believe whatever you have said but todays India is all about Hindutva, yogi, and Modis.
LOL at India is a secular, I think some of you have wasted enough readers time to try to shove down the idea of India being a secular country. give it up, not everyone is blind.

This post is relevant to the thread as it is important to draw parallels between the two countries when it comes to minority plight. Also, many posters are also portraying Pakistan as some kind of heaven for minorities which clearly is not correct. I am merely pointing out the reaction of the majority in the two countries when it comes to minorities.
It also highlight the distance between the majority and minority Indian created by the politician just to gain political mileage while we daily get lecture from eastern padosi on how Pakistan is this and that.
Almost weekly if not daily, India is in news for same issues, 'The majority and minority" but here Hindutva brigade and those who want to pick up on their left over, can't stop their obsession with Pakistan, Pakistan's economy etc.
Y'all fighting over the same issues after 70 years of independence that had divided your country into 3 - get over yourself.

I don't think you know the complete matter of what happened with "Srilankan guy". Re-read the whole thing.
That said, India is the greatest country in the world where all minorities have their rights protected under watchful eye of Hindutva government! Want us to chant it for you?

It has nothing to do with Pakistan.
Instead of commenting on the topic and understanding what the Muslims are saying, you are trying to throw in your own prejudice on this thread to get some reaction.
Shameless behaviour but expetced.

It will go to a larger bench. A 3 or 5 judge bench. Whatever will be decided in this case will be considered a precedence unless reversed by the supreme court.
The actual final judgement will take weeks.
Those who stay silent when minorities are attacked in Pakistan have no right to be outraged about Muslim minorities abroad. This is pure hypocrisy but expected.

You are another one who likes to make up fake examples.
Deal with the issue at hand and spare us the fantasies and hypothetical scenarios.
Tell me one such example.My post is relevant because I am pointing out the hypocrisy.
