Karnataka Hijab Controversy: The Karnataka hijab row started after a few students in Udupi Government Pre-University College started wearing hijab last month and were turned out of classrooms.

The matter is now being heard in the Karnataka High Court for the second day in a row. The controversy also triggered widespread protests across the state, with campuses witnessing ‘conflict-like’ situations marked by stone-pelting incidents, use of force by police and the Muslim girls standing their ground for wearing the headscarves, prompting calls for peace and calm both by the government and the High Court, which is now looking into the students’ plea for their right to their hijab.
