Kerala debates whether to ban burqa in college

Live Mint  

A debate has emerged in Kerala on whether to ban the burqa in colleges after one of the state’s biggest educational institutions, the Muslim Educational Society, issued a circular banning covering veils from the upcoming academic year. Following on the heels of the Sri Lankan government’s decision to ban face veils after Easter Sunday serial bombings that killed 253 people last month, the circular has received country-wide attention. It has quoted a 2014 Kerala High Court order on a high school student's plea to wear headscarves and full-sleeve shirts as opposed to the standard school uniform. "According to the High Court order, female students should not wear garments that cover their face,” the MES circular said.
