Following a hijab-related row that lasted for a week that forced schools to close, classes 11-12 and degree college will be reopened on the campus of Karnataka this Wednesday (February 16, 2022).
Classes that are not in the offline schedule will begin with prohibitive orders in many cities, including Bengaluru; this move is a prudent step in light of the controversy surrounding the hijab.
Many districts have promulgated prohibitory orders following section 144 of the CrPC against gatherings or agitation in any form within 200 meters from the entrances of colleges, schools, or degree colleges, as well as comparable educational establishments.
Schools in Karnataka are scheduled to reopen on Monday following their closure from last Wednesday because of unintentional incidents in various parts of the State due to the hijab issue.
In the meantime in the meantime, the Karnataka High Court will resume hearings on petitions filed regarding the hijab issue in colleges and schools.
The previous Tuesday on Tuesday, on Tuesday, Muslim girls who moved the court had claimed that the Indian secularism they were arguing for was a positive one, different from that of Turkey, and also argued that the headscarf was a harmless act of faith, not a sign of religious or jingoism.
They argued before the three-judge bench secularism in India wasn’t like Turkey secularism, but rather a positive one in which every religion is recognized as being valid.
The girls pleaded with the court to go to classes wearing headscarves since the court’s interim orders had removed their ‘fundamental rights.
About the ‘hecklers Veto the veto of the hecklers, senior Counsel Devadatt Kamat, appearing for the Muslim girl students of the Udupi college in India, said the practice of depriving anyone their rights because they don’t like the person was not a good idea.
He also appealed to the court not to keep the interim order which prohibited students from wearing hijab and scarves made of saffron, as it would ‘displace one of the fundamental rights enjoyed by Muslim girls.
In December of last year, a group of girls began attending a government school in the Udupi district in the Hijab in opposition to the uniform standard.
To protest against the infringement of dress rules, a group of Hindu students began coming to school wearing saffron Shawls.
While the issue was yet to be settled, the hijab-saffron dispute over the shawl spread to more pre-university schools within the state.
