'Can't Waste More Time, Please Let Us Attend Classes': Karnataka Hijabi Students

The Quint  

Shaheen, who is a final year student in a government college of Shimoga, stopped attending college in April this year after her college enforced the Karnataka High Court’s March ruling upholding the Hijab ban. Some Hijabi students have transferred their admission to private universities, after the Hijab ban was implemented in government colleges. In Mangalore, Ayath Aslam, a student in a private university said she has been spared from the Hijab ban, but her cousins and friends who were in government institutes are suffering. In The Quint’s documentary titled ‘Voices Behind the Veil: The Human Cost of Karnataka's Hijab Ban’, we had reported how the Hijabi students are suffering gravely because of the ban.
