The row above the headscarves versus turmeric scarves on the campus of the secondary and college schools in certain parts of the state have resulted in tension, unwanted incidents and even taking a change of violence in several places.
The controversy had begun towards the end of December last year when several female students in the hijab were rejected into the government pre-university university in Udupi.
As a counter, some Hindu students appeared wearing a turmeric scarf.
On January 1 this year, six Muslim women from the Government of PU College for women in Udupi attended a press conference in the coastal city held by the leaders of the Indian Campus (CFI) who protested with college authorities wearing headscarves (headscarves).
It’s four days after they ask the main permission to wear a hijab in a class that is not permitted.
Until then, Muslim students used to wear a headscarf to campus and entered the class after releasing it.
In the interim sequence, the Karnataka High Court has detained all students, regardless of their religion and faith, from wearing a turmeric scarf (Bhagwa), scarves, headscarves, religious flags or the like in classrooms up to further orders.
