Kashmiri students in Karnataka allege college enforced beard trimming

Deccan Chronicle  

In a letter to the Chief Minister, the JKSA stated that over two dozen Kashmiri students were facing "undue restrictions" related to personal appearance, particularly regarding beards, which they maintain for cultural and religious reasons. The students claimed they were instructed to either trim their beards to a "01" trimmer length or be clean-shaven for college activities, including clinical duties. "The college administration has reportedly been compelling Kashmiri students to either trim their beards or remain clean-shaven to enter the premises and participate in clinical duties. In response, the college administration denied targeting any specific group and clarified that the guidelines apply to all students, including local Kannadiga students, as part of hygiene standards essential for clinical duties.
