It all started after Karnataka’s home minister Araga Jnanendra said that religions should be kept away from education and ordered that students should neither come wearing Hijab nor saffron shawl to schools. Followed by his statement, an incident on hijab wearing students being denied entry into school had took place. The home minister further said that no one should come to school to practice their religion as this is where all students should learn together with a feeling of oneness.

As soon as the statements of the home minister made headlines, reports about a bunch of Hijab wearing school students being stopped at the gate by authorities at Kundapur Pre university College surfaced with visuals. The principal, reportedly asked the students to remove their head dress (hijab) in order to enter the class as they are not allowed to wear it inside campus.

When students argued that the order of government didn’t mention Kundapur college, the principal, reportedly said that the government’s order applies throughout the state. To protest against the girls who wear hijab, Hindu boys and girls entered the schools with saffron shawls and started protesting. Now, reports about students wearing blue shawls entering the premises surfaced in online platforms and created outrage.

A standoff also broke out between students wearing saffron shawls and students wearing blue shawls in Chikmagalur with “Jai bhim” & “Jai Shree ram” and other slogans being chanted inside the campus amid the Hijab controversy. A circular issued by Udipi PU college’s principal about “Students are free to wear hijabs inside school premises but not in class rooms” in December month became one of the main reasons for the outrage.

அரசு பள்ளிகள், அரசு மருத்துவமனைகள் என்பவை முதன்மையான தேவை உள்ளவர்களுக்கு மட்டுமே! கட்டணம் செலுத்த தகுதி உடைய நான் என் மகளை அரசு பள்ளிக்கோ கல்லூரிக்கோ அனுப்பினால் அங்கு தேவையுள்ள ஒரு குழந்தையின் இடம் பாதிக்கப்படும். ஆகையால் அனுப்பவில்லை. நன்றி

இதுதான் தமிழ் மண். இங்கேயும் பாசிச சக்திகள் மதச்சாயத்தை பூச முயற்சித்தால் அது முறியடிக்கப்பட்டு கரி பூசப்பட்ட முகத்தோடு விரட்டியடிக்கப்படுவார்கள்.

Hope it stays that way and only possible if we keep BJP at bay.

Tamilnadu has it because here the Brahmins have become liberalists. But in other parts of India they are trying to gain control
