"Why Are We Asked To Take It Off?" UP Students On Hijab Row
What's the problem with Hijab? ask students in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, insisting that it is their fundamental right. It is also not against modernism, they say arguing that it is their body and they have the democratic right to wear it. The hijab protests began last month at the Government Girls PU College in Karnataka's Udupi when six students alleged that they had been barred from classes for insisting on wearing the headscarf.
