Future on Hold But SC's Split Verdict Hailing Choice, Right to Education Spells Hope for Hijab-Clad Students

News 18  

“When I heard that one of the judges said hijab was a matter of choice and education was important, I saw some hope". He said the “prohibition on hijab in classrooms does not violate free expression and choice of Muslim girl students," while dismissing the petitions challenging the Karnataka HC verdict. After the SC’s split verdict, Karnataka’s education minister BC Nagesh said he had expected a better judgment in view of events in countries like Iran where women are shunning the hijab. The controversy started on December 30, 2021, when 12 students from Government Pre University College for Girls in coastal Karnataka’s Udupi submitted a memorandum to the college principal seeking permission to wear hijab in classrooms. However, the hijab-wearing students argued that the headgear was an essential religious practice and that the government’s stand disallowing those wearing hijab to attend classes was discriminatory.
